One thing to consider based upon the laptop and Linux version, some desktops still struggle with mixed screen resolution (HD on one screen, 4k on the other). Fix should be generally available by the end of the year 🤞🏻

I run Linux Mint and had no problem using Fantasy Grounds when Tony was running Star Trek for us.

I've been running Linux on Think Pads since they were IBM and it works very well. No specific complaints and I basically don't even consider other laptop brands at this point.

I'll take it. Wordle 1,720 4/6

I used to think the Bond villains were cartoonishly overdone. Sadly, I was wrong.

Don't forget to like and subscribe! Oh, and something about a bell?

I had a great time talking with @jblovecrafty.bsky.social on stream about his creative Sci-Fi Horror RPG, Wine Dark Sea. We discussed the game itself, how to prep and run the game, the creative process, and getting the word out. I definitely encourage everyone to follow Joe for updates.

Yeah. Developers will commit $50,000 of their own time to recreating something rather than pay $5-10/month. I don't get it, but I'm lazy 😅

Totally agree

If you do any sort of accessibility auditing then

1. Polypane and Be Inclusive are now a killer combo for your productivity
2. You should probably get a ticket to SotB, They're sold out in person but still have online tickets available.

I'm so sorry 😔

All right, looks like @twenty20sight.com is going to take over for the evening!

It's really only my second failure. I'm bad about replacing them before they fail because quite frankly, they tend to just work.

I may have to give that a shot, lol

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

For mine you can choose between metal, Christmas, or folk.

Whelp. That 1200W PSU (desktop Power Supply Unit) lasted over 12 years so good job. But without it I can't exactly use my streaming and gaming rig so that's a bummer. Replacement ordered. Fingers crossed.

The fan basically exploded loudly, but let me shutdown safely.

Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub Age verification (or age-gating) laws generally require online services to check, estimate, or verify all users’ ages—often through invasive tools like ID checks, biometric scans, or other dubious “ag...

Here's some details on how age verification laws impact you, and why you should care.
- Age verification diminishes online privacy.
- It impacts more than "adult" content.
- It allows censorship of already marginalized groups.
- It limits access to resources.

Important details:
1. It was the Windows default font in Word
2. I had requested their brand guide, but not received it yet
3. This was just an internal report to them and in no way an actual public presentation or brand representation

Was overhearing a coworker discussing the importance of getting a client's brand info right and was remembering the time I pissed off a client (ultimately they ended up leaving) because I used the wrong font on a report.

Not too bad. Wordle 1,695 3/6

Swords Without Master A ttrpg of strange sorceries, ferocious deeds, and astounding wonder by Epidiah Ravachol.

Link to the ongoing Swords Kickstarter up front, so I don't forget: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

I want to talk about why I fucking love it when a #ttrpg has its own cutesy name for the GM role. And I'm going to start with the evocative poetry of the term Dungeon Master.
