I recently joined https://diode.zone . There's not much content. We definitely need more content creators on PeerTube. But there is the odd gem here and there.

To explin my thought process a bit here, there are rumors that their recent OneDND rules changes are designed to make it easier to implement an "DND Beyond AI Dungeon Master(tm)" which they'd make part of their DND Beyond virtual tabletop. Also, because they seemed really possessive of the rights to animate DND spells, it sounds like they may be intending to make DND Beyond VTT the only immersive VTT experience in town.

Which (again if rumors are true) makes it feel like they might be trying to make the next edition more MMORPG-ish and less TTRPG-ish. Or at least trying to straddle the line between those.

Plus, I don't think LLM's are up to the task of DM'ing yet. So if they go that direction, I expect some really weird interactions with "DND Beyond AI Dungeon Master(tm)." Which is why I say it'll be "buggy."

I also expect if these are their plans, they're way to far in and the big wigs' egos are far too committed to back out now.

But also, given the Hasbro big wigs' track record of making terrible decisions lately, I wouldn't put rushing a buggy video game out past them.

Google en croissant.

And all the communists in this thread arguing with you hate the regimes that have killed millions (including the ones that have embraced the term "communist" like the CCP and Stalin's USSR) as much as you do.

Originally, a "tankie" was a Stalin apologist, but in more modern times, it's come to mean just authoritarian communist. I don't think it's a self-applied term. More a derisive term used by anti-authoritarian leftists.

The anti-authoritarian communists tend to call themsleves anarchists, anarcho-communists, anarcho-syndicalists, left libertarians, etc. And they'd strongly tend not to have anything good to say about Stalin, Mao, or the CCP.

(There are right-wingers who call themselves "anarchists" or "anarcho-capitalists" or "voluntarists" or "minarchists" or "Libertarians" (note the capital "L") or whatever, but they have pretty much nothing to do with the hard-left-wing anarchist movement that they appropriated the terms "anarchist" and "libertarian" from.)

Interesting. I'm not sure how that works with an Open Source app. Will the API key be in the source repo? Will there be a server that Infinity routes through that adds the API key to the request? Will future versions of Infinity be proprietary? I'll probably look into it at some point.

Did someone say pirate music sharing thread?

I Am A Pirate - Whitey Cracker

Warez Loader - Whitey Cracker

And everyone knows this one, right?

Don't Download This Song - Weird Al

Some of these are cursed AF.

6e is just going to be a video game. And a buggy one at that.

Something something ethical dilemma, something something transporter buffer.

Anti-authoritarian communism is a thing. I think mostly the issue folks here in this thread are taking with you is equating communism with authoritarianism. And I don't think anyone in this thread is pro-China or defending censoring content critical of China. Quite the opposite in fact.

If your point is that they're pro-CCP, you'll probably get your point across better by calling them "tankies" than "communists." I identify as a communist, but I'd be first in line to say "fuck tankies."
