Are u kidding me? Again? Are we fighting against the same company again? We never learned anything. They had the article where they can change anything at any time, that was always a red flag, and was from the first day.

As gm it is a shame that someone uses that licence all those years. Paizo made a rewrite and I think was the only company that saw that coming decades ago. But many mainstream groups used the content and the rights that the licence gave to push their projects and made a fortune (and wizards used that to push again the game), and now they are saying: no more. Well, bad luck for you.

Use a real open licence, even a CC-BY-SA-NC if you wants, not a licence with a backdoor from the owner!

My god, the community is fighting a battle for less than 20 companies affected because they wanted to use a stupid licence.

OGL 1.1 is bad as 1.0 was, it is the same shit, now with a royalty and just because of that, they are all like crazies. Was always as bad as now.
> First, you bought that over-complicated appliance for the same reason everyone else does: it has more features, and you like features

Well no. I bought it because I didn't have a choice. (Literal coffee makers are actually an exception here). I bought the featurefull version because i wanted a specific feature and my options were basic with 7 features I don't need, pro with 19 features I don't need and ultra with 200 features i don't need and the 1 i do need.

Or maybe some obscure other brand has exactly what i need but discovering it is impossible because all 10^9 drop shippers sell only the basic and pro model above, and the rest of the brands are just white label rebrands of the above with slightly different plastic molding and some of the features disabled.

I had an 11 that I was perfectly happy with but Verizon/Apple basically offered me a "free" 14 so I bit. It ended up costing me ~$100 if you account for the upgrade fee ($35), and the tax (~75) but overall a much lower price than retail. These sort of offers usually correspond to the current financial needs of Verizon/Apple.

‘Lack of respect’: outcry over Amazon employee’s death on warehouse floor
I guess the crux will be the meaning of the word "authorized". If Hasbro claims the OGL 1.0 is no longer authorized and can convince a court that this totally normal and OK, 3rd party vendors will have a problem.
I had $60k in the bank and was paying $12k down on a used car that cost $28k and would be worth $30k the second I had the keys (the dealership seemed to low ball it a little, probably because they were a new volvo dealership with one GTI on the lot they had for like a couple months that they needed to get rid of), but no, they still needed to check my credit, which at the time did not exist, and still required me to sign up to $2k interest payments over a 5 year loan that would have been more profitable if I never paid a cent and they could reposes the collateral.

I know there are contrived ways I could have killed the value of the vehicle before the loan was done and they couldn't recoup it, but like, come on. My credit report was BLANK. It was never needed in the first place.
It turns out that sometimes people buy things or do things for reasons other than trying to figure out a way to squeeze money out of it.
Part of the contention is that the OGL 1.1 is trying to retroactively revoke the OGL 1.0. Whether or not that is legal is, well, a legal question. But boycotting the new edition is not "the only thing" the industry has to do, if building on the OGL 1.0 is no longer valid.

Provided that WotC does follow through with trying to revoke the previous version, the major thing that will have to play out is to figure out which third-party company is going to end up trying to battle Hasbro in court over whether their maneuver is legal. If anyone, it will probably be Paizo, as one of the largest players building off the OGL. But until that legal question is settled, boycotting the new version (while still building off OGL 1.0) is a dangerous option.

> I've gotten into 35mm film a lot lately

While Alien was shot on 35mm negative film, what defines it and other films like it is that they were shot with an anamorphic lens in anamorphic widescreen, commonly known as CinemaScope[1] using the full 3:2 35mm frame rather than cropping. When the prints are projected (effectively decoded through another anamorphic lens), the aspect ratio becomes 2.39:1. Alien also had blowup 70mm prints with a less common 2.20:1 aspect ratio.

I suspect you are right, and it's depressing.

I do think it's a bit easier to escape this trap, because an inventive game master can convince their group of friends to play something else, and this is easier than getting someone to switch from Windows. It's simply teaching them a new game!

You call it an obvious thing yet ignore it in the following sentence. There does not have to be some primary emotion and weighing these things is at best a waste of time. Accepting a bad side of something does not have to come with ignoring any good sides. This was the mistake you were making and still are. It's not a shocking bit of wisdom, it's just a simple thing to keep in mind when you find yourself drawn into an "is complicated thing X good or bad?" argument.

Nailed it.

I’m waiting for the inevitable wave of social media posts, etc from all of the people who will lose access to their wallets, have them hacked somehow, etc. I’m sure centralized exchanges are already being flooded with customer support issues from people who don’t fully grasp what self-custody is and the risk it entails.

Most people aren’t qualified or capable to build a fortress with medieval-castle or Fort Knox levels of security and process for their crypto wallets but that’s more equivalent than not of what’s required to properly secure them and maintain access over time.

The general population hasn’t experienced “you’re completely on your own” for nearly anything in at least a couple of generations - and for good reason because it’s absurd.
I think the best way I can describe my discomfort is this: If someone asked you: "What organization do you want to be the owner of, and own the copyright to, the compression library which underpins all our open standards and systems?", what would you have responded? I don't know for sure which organization I would've chosen, but Facebook would certainly be at the very bottom of the list. GNU and Mozilla might be closer to the top.
Gosh, yeah, this'll definitely stop all those content creators from doing a find and replace to make their content fit for Pathfinder 2 or any non-OGL-tainted system on the planet.

This might actually do good for tabletop gaming in general, if Hasbro's cancerous behavior causes people to flee their IP and show interest in other things.

I really don't think this is going to work out the way these braindead business executives seem to think it will. People will move their content to a different platform because DnD has never been anything more than a storytelling/content framework.

Hasbro mad cuz community content better than their own. Go back to ruining ponies.

> Why did Paizo use a license not designed by them?

Why do organizations other than the FSF use the GPL?

Edit because fuck this site's rate limits.

> the GPL doesn't put organizations that choose that license at the mercy of the FSF.

IMO the OGL doesn't either - this is really a radical interpretation WotC is testing and Dancey's statements alone - at the time and today - are going to be enough to get the ridiculousness dismissed. (IANAL TINLA, but I do have some ancient - like 2003-era - OGL-published stuff floating around.)

Conversely the idea that you might need to agree to a newer license to get ongoing access to new things - there's a close parallel with the FSF and the GFDL (where I disagreed) and the Tivo/patent clauses in GPL3 (where I agreed). But that has nothing to do with the license per se and everything to do with still wanting what the license holder-author is offering.
White House under pressure to expel Jair Bolsonaro after Brazil riots
There seems to be language in OGL 1.1 that is trying to retroactively nullify OGL 1.0. So anyone trying to make something new related to DnD, where they would need to agree to OGL 1.1, would essentially reapply 1.1 to everything they have already made. At least that's how some people have tried to describe the situation to me.

I don't see that being remotely enforceable or even a strong argument were something brought to court, but I think WOTC (really Hasbro ) is using the threat of litigation to limit the ability for creators to continue to make new things that identify themselves explicitly as DnD. WOTC is basically betting that the rpg market is really a DnD market, captive to the brand, which will probably backfire on them.

Yeah... Demos and mod trackers made a lot of GUS use. From what I remember, the audio synthesis model was fairly similar. I bet there was a lot of overlap between mod tracker authors and GUS enthusiasts.

Am I right to assume WotC's move is basically aimed at groups like Critical Role?

On one hand, I have no interest in defending corporate copyright rules. But on the other hand, I disagree that this would stifle creativity.

Any suggestions on what's a good Pi replacement?
> And if they did a full rewrite, are they under any obligation at all to Wizards of the Coast?

The most reasonable opinion I have read on this is that Paizo themselves are not entirely convinced the second edition can be legally seen as an untainted full rewrite and use the OGL out of precaution.

They should be able to relicense but Hasbro might sue them arguing that actually the licensing situation isn’t that clear.
For the most part I've found that RaspPis are over-dimensioned for many projects I'm inclined to do, for example around the house, and have switched to much more readily-available and cheaper ESP32 and STM32 boards.

I do have a RasPi in use that runs some heavier software like a Hue bridge emulator written in Python (diyHue), and for some of my projects I now have that Pi do more intensive computation centrally and then just dispatch results to esp32s.

I'm currently building one of those refresh-once-a-day framed e-ink "newspaper on the wall" projects. In the picture frame I just have the panel, an IT8951 display controller and an esp32, all running off a LiPo pouch, mostly in deep sleep. The RSS scraping and pdflatex+ghostscript pipeline to produce the image is running on the central Pi in this.

A single Pi may be all you need if your projects live on a network!
> which is that even living in a smoggy coal-burning area like China it's still not reasonable to say "might as well smoke, I'm already exposed to other lung cancer risks."

Agree, but that's not the point I am making.

The point I am making is that we know that smoking is linked to lung cancer but the opposite is not a certainty. We don't know if the smokers getting lung cancer would not get it if they did not smoke.

Unfortunately.

So it is wise to not smoke, of course, but that's only a fraction of the entire story.

People are getting cancer in the west more now than in the 60s and 70s, when smoking was vastly more spread.

The peak was in the 90s, we are slowly going back to the numbers of the mid 1970s.

We know that cancer is linked to age, so maybe an aging population has more chances of getting cancer than a younger one.

This seems to be confirmed by the fact that in USA ~5% of the population has cancer, while in large areas of Central Africa, for example Somalia, Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso, it's less than 0.5%.

I'm quite sure it is not due to better living conditions and less cigarettes. But another reason could be that it is not detected nor reported.

Also in USA there are ~140 deaths every 100,000 people, in Iran ~95, in Mexico is ~90, in Algeria ~75.

Just to say that we still haven't found the root cause and why there are people living the same exact life in the same exact place, one gets it and the other don't.

So, in the end, intermittent fasting has mostly the same effects of eating less in general, it shouldn't be surprising, like it shouldn't surprise anybody that a lot of people, who never smoked, still die of cancer.

A more healthy diet would have a large impact on mortality in USA, where the leading cause of death is hearth disease cause by unhealthy diets.

Especially when intermittent fasting is defined as "the other group only had access to food 9 hours a day", which is how most people eat, simply following local traditions.
More than D&D itself, and its players, the new "OGL" creates tremendous hurdles for the 3rd party, admittedly a little cottage, industry that bloomed around OGL.

I'm absolutely fine without D&D, but Hasbro is going against makers of Pathfinder, my preferred dungeon crawler RPG.
Hasbro announced they intended to double revenue in five years, and apparently did it in half that. So you’re right, they are profiting a lot off of the changes they’ve made. It includes things like selling a $1000 “Magic 30th Anniversary” that has 4 beta booster “packs” that have different backs so aren’t legal in any tournament play but otherwise look like the Black Lotus and Moxes that are absurdly expensive now.
An arms race of sorts is inevitable. Your reactive armour will be worthless in the face of my active measures. Innocent casualties are inevitable, but they're the price we pay for freedom.

Is it refreshed after some time passes ( if so, maybe there is an easier way to just observe what changes )?
For a little bit of flavor. After I saw this post (I don't follow D&D or Wizards or Hasbro news) I thought immediately of BFRPG. Found this post in Basic Fantasy's forum, so this move by WotC is definitely going to have an impact.

> URLs aren't meant to be used this way

I disagree, URLs are supposed to point to a resource - in this case the resource is the client state of the app (aka "deep linking"). It is a useful approach.

Of course, it can easily be misused.
> Just because a thing is prevalent doesn't mean it's good.

I agree with this sentiment. I'm not sure I've ever seen a url referred to as "good", I was just a bit confused as to why someone would baulk at a URL. In my opinion everything after the host portion of the url is to serve the apps needs, so it knows where to go or what to do, it's not really an interface for the user as obviously there are better ways to present that.
This is separate from understanding how a language model or transformer works. You could read the major papers behind those ideas and read every line of code involved several times over in a month. I'd recommend it, if you're super curious.
