Ugh this sucks. We added 20 years of copyright protection (it’s now up to the author’s death plus 70 years) to keep in line with American copyright laws, under NAFTA deals. Disney gotta Disney, I guess.

Ramblings of General Geekery
I love it when people make fun of Windows’ many inconsistent layers of UI styles because each time there’s one new layer! How fun.
Woah this book on the history of keyboards looks absolutely gorgeous. The website is quite cool too, with little games and pretty pictures!
The next time my #ttrpg players come up with an absolutely ridiculous plan, I’ll let them do it.
Another story to file on the giant pile of “tech bros don’t know how to build correct machine learning data sets”.
Today I learned about “Idaho stops” which, I agree with the author here, are what I often do and should be more commonly passed into law. Anyway, here are some “Laws of Bicycling Survival” that seem sensible to me.
Hahaha the leaked new D&D OGL revoking the previous OGL… it’s either a fake, or WotC has bigger balls than I thought (which incidentally makes them a better target for ball-kicking)
I watched Koko-di Koko-da yesterday and… wooo this is a really strange movie. Not sure yet if I liked it or not 😅 But I did like the music box characters, they’re fun and creepy!
Good night Burnaby
“Smile” was quite creepy and fun to watch! A sort of gory “It Follows” with some really cool special effects. Some cheap jump scares, but overall a solid first film from Parker Finn, I’ll definitely follow whatever he works on next.
