@richlv a friend of mine in Berlin got a visit from an inspector for running a legitimate bittorrent seedbox. I think it was 2015? To his best understading, the guy was a cop.
@julienmalka protesting a fine is so much more annoying than explaining to an inspector what an opensource license is 😃
Oh look!
Just today, a report on how pigs can fake evidence, charge you for something that never happened, and get you sent to prison for nothing.

Social science as well.
They tend to hire only lower IQs, sometimes refusing you if you've had an IQ test.
Low IQs means very susceptible to the internal culture.
Less intelligence tends to mean bigoted.
They're hiring a lot of ex vets, who for the last 20 years were trained in urban warfare. We're "the enemy."
Oh, and 27 years ago we discovered that white supremacists were actively infiltrating the police and did nothing about it.

@TheActualBrian good links. Just in case, my point was that not even 100 years ago, german cops have killed people literally by the millions. For the time being it's hard to trump it (no pun intended), but cop apologists must always remember that the quantity and quality of the institutionalised opression can very quickly become large enough to include... ...them.
Remember, #ACAB is not just a social statement. It's maths.
@julienmalka yea. But cops appear at the door nonetheless. At least in #Germany.
@julienmalka ah! Bittorrenting a linux distro isn't illegal, so some trusted person could do that.
But yeah, my policy is never to host bare metal servers in the "first world" countries. I pay a person to host and maintain my servers in some Eastern European country.
@julienmalka won't the cops barge in the moment someone decides to seed a Linux distro via bittorrent?
@julienmalka I must have misconfigured vim.
@sharongascoigne your husband's photos really put astronomy in perspective!
I've never posted any of my husband's telephoto #moon shots on Mastodon before. They're very popular in our shop and on our Facebook page. On Twitter I have to brace myself for the shouts of Photoshop from people who know zero about photography.
This is #StCatherinesOratory on the #IsleofWight a medieval lighthouse. This shot is achieved by working out when the moon will rise here (rarely) and standing a couple of miles away with a #telephotolens. The weather has to be kind. #photography
I wrote the fourth part of my #blog series “Implementing Co, a small programming language with coroutines”. And this time, we add support for channels in Co for inter-coroutine communication. https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/implementing-co-4/

Anyway, here's my #Undaunted mod, designed as a drop-in rule modification which should work with all the 3½ game expansions.

Please send playtest feedback, better playtest recordings, if you can record the table.
Have fun with diceless Undaunted!
@janpmueller I think it's pretty good! So hopefully, overwhelmingly positive. But it's up to the playtesters to decide :)
@NMBA yes. And before it was oligarchic jibble jabble with equality through poverty. This is the idea of communism. Demonstrably. Same shit in modern china, except they're a bit more upfront about it.
