Some interesting thoughts about the implicit assumptions of AD&D. http://bxblackrazor.blogspot.com/2025/12/ad-assumptions.html
AD&D Assumptions

The Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game operates under a few assumptions that need to be understood by both the Dungeon Master and the players...

@ArneBab Der Pädagoge Fritz Oser hat ein tolles Buch über Fehler und Fehlerkultur mit dem Titel „Lerne ist schmerzhaft“ geschrieben. Ohne Fehler ist es eben kein echtes Lernen, denn dann konnte man es de facto schon.
@6d03 leider gar nicht so witzig. Tatsächlich fühlt sich die Wirklichkeit immer mehr wie Jugend ohne Gott an. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:l6y3kq6v2kimots466kimpmt/post/3lyvjhz7lxc2m

Instead of a modern fancy all-in-one printing system, I’ve now reactivated my more than 20-year-old Brother laser printer. With a fanless 10-year-old Atom PC as the server, printing even from my phone runs perfectly smoothly. The Brother laser printer meme has gained another successful instance.
That is so true. You have this weird too elementary introductory chapters in certain math books, and then they can't be bother bothered to define the more complex structures in the following as they are somehow “common knowledge”.
Hacked together a first draft of a plugin to connect GNU TeXmacs to OpenAI compatible llm servers. #texmacs #gnutexmacs @gnu_texmacs
I just spend hours to get my reverse proxy system with nginx working and compatible with my ipv6 tunnel and my Flask app. Why can't we just have full ipv6 support anywhere and get rid of ipv4 for good? All of this is so annoyingly complicated and superfluous.
@danirabbit I don‘t get the thing behind the scaling anyway. Shouldn‘t we just use scalable images based on the standard font size chosen by the user in the first place? IMHO Apple‘s HiDPi implementation based on rasterized images with fixed pixels just lead everyone else down the wrong lane. I don‘t see why this is the fault of display manufacturers.
@ArneBab I'm not sure about all of that. For the most part, LaTeX seems to have become a bloated (and that is underselling it massively) intermediate thing that is used to turn other stuff like Markdown into pdfs.
Reading about contradictions in the formal logical basis of Luhmann‘s Systems Theory because I cannot sleep. Now, I‘m convinced about the problem, thus I still cannot sleep. Is this an example of circularity?
