@yogthos Have you heard of the book Principia Mathematica?

1+1=2 is not as obvious as you might think, it's just what you're used to.

Every invention represents some value. The Internet represents the values that are innate to the human species - our crave for communication, community, togetherness that has thankfully kept us alive for millennia, even if we're, once again, at conflict with ourselves - it came from the nuclear programme in the Cold War.
It also represents freedom to find out together through science (WWW is a CERN project), and build together through machine-mediated empathy (FOSS and such), and to fool around together for binary-encoded fun (games, demoscene, Internet art and humour).

If I hold anything sacred, it's these simple values. And the Internet still holds promise for that.

I think, therefore, that abusing the Internet, and twisting it into something that ultimately serves only a minority, lining their already deep pockets at the expense of the humanity's future, or intentionally breaking it in the name of a geopolitical squabble, is the very special kind of crime. I hope, you would agree.

The Fediverse is turning 16 in 2 days.

This is fucking nuts, if you ask me.

Also, I've been doing all this Fedi stuff for 7 years and 10 days already as both an admin and a user. Which is also hella bonkers.

One issue I have with fighting systems in almost all RPGs (most games, actually) is that every fight must be until either you or your adversary kicks the bucket.

You stole a piece of meat at a bazaar and got caught? No, you don't just get beaten up and thrown in jail or out of town, you will be straight executed on sight.

Conversely, you mishappened upon a gang of less than friendly ruffians? No, they won't beg or surrender or run away when it becomes clear that it's them who mishappened upon you, they will fight to the bitter end, as if under the order from the supreme god of everything to either murderize your ass, or die trying.

It's not plausible. Vast majority of fights are not like that. Most of the confrontations involving force end with either running or talking. Not a lot of people want to get murdered or be a murderer, especially over things that don't matter much.

@shuro

> You spent resources and didn't get much.

Shootouts are actually kinda expensive for everyone, yeah, especially in the nuclear wasteland, where everyone is short on stuff in general, and you are one mishap away from dying to untreated wounds or to thermal shock, or to dehydration or starving to death. So it's in your best interest not to get into one, at least if you don't know what you're doing. Basic Sun Tzu stuff.

@coaxial I've seen NPCs fleeing in Pathologic 2.

You, though, are right fucked, hostile NPCs know no mercy.

Вот как объяснить коту, что тут не его дом?
Да, это тот самый, который пробирался ко мне на второй этаж.
Я его и прогонял с участка, и вещами в его сторону (не в него!) бросал, а ему хоть бы что. Ходит и ходит. Сегодня ночью даже как-то снова в дом просочился. Дрых за печкой.
Красавец, конечно, но куда мне ещё одного-то!

@ulder Никак, потому что он прав. Кот вообще всегда прав.

Maths people are unaffected, they really don't care if any of what they research applies to anything whatsoever.

Economists are chill as well, because they apparently are mostly unaware that their theories must be applicable to the real world, especially a slim portion of it which is evidently, painfully finite.

лат. tabellae defixionum (таблички проклятий). Эти таблички делались из свинца, и на них выцарапывались тексты с проклятиями, обращённые к богам подземного мира. Такие таблички иногда вставлялись в могилы или бросались в колодцы, чтобы обеспечить их достижение подземного мира. Некоторые из этих табличек даже содержат подробные инструкции для богов о том, как именно наказывать проклятого человека!
В Римской империи умели и в креатив, и в проклятия.

@maxk В целом, если в колодец человеку кинуть свинцовую блямбу, то там в принципе все равно, что на ней будет написано, человеку и так будет постепенно становиться хуже.

Big Fedi vs Small Fedi doesn't even have to be a debate, IMO. The federated model can happily accommodate both use cases.

Your instance or local constellation can be as "small" and quaint and well-kept as you want, or as "big" and serious and even commercial as you can afford.

It's absurdly adaptable, just as the Internet itself. Which is, you know, the point.
