Making #decisions in face of incomplete information is an important #life skill.

Every situation requires acting on probable outcomes with incomplete knowledge of the factors or the #consequences.

In moments like these, games like #mafia or #tripleagent (Play store, proprietary) help teach the skill.

The #learning cycle is usually of 10-15 mins with clear instructions to trust no one but with the implied condition of cooperating to win.

I love this game and want to explore it more.

it's always really funny when the news asks a question the book I'm currently reading answers

When you're browsing on Firefox and you accident open in a new window instead of a new tab.

They say Santa does not exist. But we have all received so many gifts due to this man, from millions of helpful elves working tirelessly all over the world.

In an attempt to simply the terminology in the fediverse, I propose we start referring to "instances" as "neighborhoods". Here's a short pitch:

Each neighborhood:
* Has its own set of rules.
* Has its own "guard" (sysadmin) that makes sure there are no incidents.
* Is usually (but not always) focused on a common theme.

You can send an update to:
1. A specific person.
2. Your own neighborhood.
3. Entire network.

IMO this proposal would make things about 30% easier to understand for newcomers.

My current computer setup: Reform as main machine (with 256GB SSD), connected to external monitor w/ 1920x1080 res (optionally 1920x1200) and mouse. I run it with Openbox+tint2+Kupfer+pcmanfm+keyboard shortcuts for simple tiling and the launcher. I run sakura, emacs, claws-mail, netsurf, telegram, audacious, freecad, yagv. My second machine is a thinkcentre 715 tiny w/ ryzen 5. i use it via turbovnc+VirtualGL from Reform for KiCAD, cura, vivado and ISE.
