You just said that "everyone" should [use Firefox or derivatives].

thus advocating for a monopoly (but... a good one, right?)

I know Mozilla is involved with Firefox, and that's precisely one of the reasons I won't touch it anymore with a 10 feet pole.

Ironic how people advocate for browser monopoly when it's their monopoly. Nothing new.

I'm not going to touch FF or any fork anymore as long as Mozilla is involved with its development/management (or until Mozilla dies for good).

I'm a MPhys Physics(but in an unrelated field) and couldn't get it. I fell so ignorant :-(

Is there a way on Lemmy to hide/filter posts with chosen keywords? (lemm.ee)

Title. I'd like to filter some posts from Lemmy. Can this be done, either natively, either by some extensions (for chromium, in my case), either using a different frontend...?

Thank you in advance.

Form that committ, it seems to me that LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg (under certain conditions). Have they finally changed their mind?

It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription by Engywuck in c/technology@lemmy.world

Some of us have been living without an Amazon account since 2007 and we're still alive. Go figure.

never give a corporation your labour for free.

People should have known this from the beginning.

HI all! Looking for a starter set to play with family. Any suggestion? (lemm.ee)

Hi all!

We're a family of three, my wife, my son (11M) and me. We would like to start playing "real" D&D, after trying a very simplified version we bought a couple years ago.

I've been playing "real" D&D with my friends many years ago, but only as a player, never as the DM. What I'm looking for is a set comprising a Player's Handbook, a DM Handbook and Rules (?). I'm not really sure sure what else I would need to start... I'd be the DM and the player, at least at the beginning...

Can anyone point me towards a good starter pack, with the minimum needed books? Also, any additional suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT: Thanks to everybody! These have been very useful suggestions. I think we may start with the "Starter Set" (cheap, slightly more advanced than the one we're using right now) and if the family enjoy it we may explore the "core rule set" afterwards. Hope my son may appreciate this kind of games, as a healtier alternative to phone/pc video games :-)

Your fault, bro. Just install Linux. I use Arch, BTW.

It's a shame that nowadays a lot of potentially interesting subjects come mostly as crappy and time consuming video format. Did people unlearn how to read?
