Did you know Projekt Red obtained a trademark on "cyberpunk"?

And that they're now pursuing a claim against the itch.io designer of a TTRPG, Neon Nights?

Admittedly I'm burying the lede here and if you're doing stuff illegal in your host's country of business you're gonna get shut down even if you're buying your own webspace and storing documentation and data in a way that's accessible-- as right you should.

But for the love of gods don't store important data in Discord chats because it's more likely to happen and is almost impossible to archive.

Welp, a ton of speedrunning and TASing info is gone because one of the big Japanese SR/TAS Discord instances got banned for activity illegal in the US due to what was going on in a secret invite-only channel on it..

Discord is not a storage system, folks.

Tux is the official Linux kernel mascot mainly because he embodies Linus: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/tux-a-brief-history-of-the-linux-mascot/

Xenia is an increasingly popular mascot mainly because she embodies the larger community's diversity & the transitions & transformations it enabled: http://xenia-linux-site.glitch.me/ #Linux30

There are a lot of horrible things going on at Paizo with their management and executives:

BTW, #Xenia is the better mascot.

@fluxom_alt thought you should know this exists.

Ok so, odd ask, but... fuel pump shat the bed, and I'm stranded in Coeur d'Alene Idaho until such time as I can repair it or secure another (BMW wants $700 to ship the part to the nearest dealer in Spokane, WA by Friday at the soonest.... could be much longer to secure part from another source). I'm broke AF and need a safe place to sleep and wrench on a bike within, say, my AAA max towing distance of 200 miles of here.
