Wenn die #reichsten Männer der Welt plötzlich vor #Wut schäumen, weil ein #mitte- #links #regierender Premierminister ihnen nicht passt, dann ist das oft kein schlechtes Zeichen.
Denn sobald #Milliardäre laut werden, geht es oft nicht um das Wohl aller, sondern um #Einfluss, #Kontrolle und #eigene #Interessen. Genau deshalb hören viele bei solchen Reaktionen inzwischen ganz genau hin.
Interesting Links–Week of 4/8/2026
Over at Grognardia, there was a discussion of Mage: The Ascension and how the world view of magic in the setting shapes the mechanics and experience of play. Over at Bastionland, Chris McDowell looked at his own game of Intergalactic Bastionland and how referees can alter the moment-to-moment pacing of the game by shifting to different discrete units of time.

Catch of the Day: Back to the MS-DOS Era! 📟💾
Hey Retro Fans!
Today, we are shining our spotlight on a single, yet incredibly spectacular entry in our server logs. Someone actually visited the Frog pond using MS-DOS!
The text browser Links (Version 2.28) running on a genuine MS-DOS system popped up in our stats today.
For those who grew up in the Windows era: There is no "Plug & Play" internet under DOS. To get a system like this online, you have to manually load packet drivers for your vintage network card into the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and configure a standalone TCP/IP stack (like mTCP). Only then can the DOS port of the Links browser unleash its text-mode magic.
Knowing that FrogFind is being used on such purist systems as a lightning-fast bridge to the modern web is the greatest honor we could ask for.
C:> Frog pond launched. Stay retro!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸
Breathtaking and beautiful.

❤️ Every interface is an argument about how you should feel. (Wenn man’s mal nur immer so elegant umsetzen könnte, wie man gern möchte. Aber das ist ein anderes Thema.) Phantom Obligation | terrygodier.com Das mit den (Preisen für) Live-Touren / -Auftritten ist noch nicht der Weisheit Ende. Oder: Touren sei für Musiker extrem teuer geworden. »Listening Partys schließen eine Lücke. Sie ermöglichen es, die Musik angemessen zu präsentieren, ohne den enormen finanziellen Druck.«

Not just YouTube—many sites pack URLs with tracking params or referral info. Check and trim links before sharing.
Tip: @firefox @floorp and @brave include “Copy Link Without Tracking” or “Copy Clean Link” in right-click menu and stetings by default. Enable / use it. ;-)
