Further to that most actual games I play with other people, operate on the presumption that the opponent is not only human, but also not cheating. Online gaming cannot guarantee that and so, again, its not real gaming.
I believe if we operate on those assumptions then "online simulating" would be consumed quite differently. -

I wish more people had a clearer distinction of what they considered "gaming". Just because it involves a "controller" or has elements that look like a game, doesn't necessarily make it a "game".
- Gambling is not a game if it involves real currency... its just gambling.
- Trading, same.
Online gaming is fraught with hacks, too. Also a game needs defined rules, so the mere act of it being online means the rules may change in an instant and possibly without a player even knowing. Therefore:
- A lot of online gaming is not a game, but a simulation.

The term "woke" has been co-opted by corporates into signalling virtue, in the same way that corporates gas-lit people into thinking Occupy had no real purpose. What I have found is that most grassroots movements get co-opted or twisted by corporate forces.
Almost never today do corporates just yield to public pressure. I think the inflation today reflects this. Inflating the money supply has typically been seen as a 'last resort' because it is an form of taxation-by-stealth that if not delivered equitably distorts the economy, or worse, prevents corrections in the economy. It's simply a dangerous thing to do, yet it serves corporates and those close to the money, who are able to remain artificially relevant and powerful.
I'm not going to say this inflation is solely a reflection of public pressure, it's a combination of supply chain issues, and a reflection of some currencies having less, er... currency.
As a people, I think we should address those collectively, but it becomes difficult when the tools we have, including many technologies we employ, have fundamental flaws. That includes the media, that has refined distraction and irrational fear.
Its why I think that without genuine vision or purpose, I see things getting worse before they get better.

Odd. I tried it again and it's still not disabling here. Not a huge issue for me, really though. -

Oh no! I made a big mistake. I accidentally printed flyers for my election with gnusocial.net/@dcent but I only just realised that there is no '@' symbol in gnusocial addresses. Arrghh! This is a crisis. How difficult would it be to redirect "/@dcent" to just "/dcent"?
So sorry to ask this favour. Any 'URL rewrite' only needs to be in place for a couple months until the elections are over in November.
If its too much trouble I understand, but if you can do something I will be so grateful. I started delivering flyers already and folks will get them soon. Totally embarrassing if they see a broken link.
I cannot believe that I was one of those people who sent a bad link. :'( -

Is it just me, or do council elections always seem to commence with a ritualistic chatter of amalgamations?
It should go without saying that Unley's Plains and Precincts span a huge region. I see no reason to expand unless we were to somehow gain adjacent or nearby land for co-op, urban, organic farming.

I may have found a bug. I tried to switch off all the email notifications in Settings that you mentioned, but the last one, namely "Send me email when someone adds my notice as a favorite." seems impossible to switch off. -

Remember early this year when I was so broke I had to schedule and pre-plan meals? Now it's quite the opposite. There is money in the bank account (more than usual) and I can spend a bit more on books and stuff. And that although the war in Eastern Europe has its severe impact on the economy and energy prices in this country. Very strange. But I don't plan to go on a spending spree but rather keep keeping costs low. At least financially, the times are good for me right now. -

Right now, should it ever come to awards in the #fediverse, I have two in mind: one for best admin-ing and one for best parenting/graddadding. And I know exactly whom I would nominate. :-) -

It's not just a "bad scenario", to me it's an intentional splitting of the fediverse, a purposeful subdividing of the #fediverse into mutual compatible / incompatible sub-diverses. Primarily for reasons of power and dominance, not to improve user experiences. -

Paul Watson, "No one dreams of England’s future any more" (2018) https://www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artists-notebook/posts/dreams-of-englands-future
«England seems locked into a present controlled by an imagined story of the past, but with no imagined story of the future to aspire to.
The problem with “much like it is now, but with the obvious bad bits gone” (which could arguably be referred to as “centrism”) is that “how it is now” absolutely depends on “the obvious bad bits” to keep it going: poverty, destitution, and food banks for one portion of the population is the essential underpinning foundation that allows an overabundance of affluence for a few, while keeping an electoral majority in just enough relative comfort — or at least the tantalising vision of that comfort being attainable — to keep voting for more of the same. It’s a very clever and controlling balancing act.»
What Watson identifies for England seems to apply to many other places elsewhere. Recommended to read.
Thank you @scribe for pointing to it. -
