Die Hard Dice, I can now multiclass to my heart's desire! #DnD #DnD5E #dice

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Does anyone out there know if DIe Hard Dice's Multiclass split metal Dire D20s with the two halves held together by a magnet are still being sold anywhere, especially in Australia? I was sent one as a freebie with a purchase once and have always wanted to get more to mix and match. #DnD #DnD5E #dice

Does anyone know how come #IdleChampions is such a CPU hog? A friend's new laptop was super laggy and we realised it's because it was using 18% of her CPU power.

I said, “Do you see what just happened there? It knows you like Cristiano Ronaldo so it talked like it’s a Cristiano Ronaldo fan and asked you a question about him.”

I didn’t realize #Copilot was still listening. It said “Right, it picks up on the cues and then tells you what it thinks you want to hear.”

That was pretty creepy, but it illustrated my point and made an impression on my son.

THIS IS A TEST!

This is a test of the polling system. Please vote, especially if you are outside of beige.party. I'm trying to prove a theory that since v4.3.4 polls with more than 4 options only record votes from the local instance. This poll is the control.

What's your favorite temper?

Edit: Adding this here for visibility. This was not a bug in the Mastodon code, but rather the result of me increasing the max poll options on the web server but not on the server running the sidekiq processes.
