The Stochastic Game

It makes me sad to miss the ChaosiumCon that coincides to Chaosium’s 50th anniversary, but I can’t travel to the US given this, err, whole situation <waves hands and makes faces>

But maybe I’ll get crazy and go the UK one?

I don’t understand why Mozilla didn’t setup a Patreon-like system years ago. They have a donation system but it’s not setup along with, say, premium features, or even advertised in-software. By my count they could have made at least $5m monthly.

More about Mozilla’s recent changes to the Terms of Services for Firefox. Everyone is right to freak out, and Mozilla’s response seems incredibly dishonest.

Trudeau has shot down the idea, but it’s still nice to sign a petition asking to bar Trump from the upcoming G7 spring summit in Canada. It’s currently at over 52k signatures. The one about stripping Musk of his Canadian citizenship is at over 350k signatures!

The case of Mark Carney’s private assets is an interesting one. The Conservatives are doing their job challenging this, although it’s for obviously selfish reasons, and I’m sure they have twice as many conflicts of interest in their ranks but hey, interesting nonetheless.

Good morning! Don’t forget to take a nice, relaxing bath every now and then!

“Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed”: the internet of shitty things never ceases to amaze me.

Did you think you couldn’t improve stairs? Well, you’d be wrong.

Here is The Longest Joke In The World! And yes, I read it. In multiple sittings over a whole day. It made me chuckle. It’s not the funniest joke in the world, after all. Just the longest!
