I was fortunate enough to experience death last month. Here's what it taught me about customers.

It is. I still wish it "Politics" would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it's own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the "World" prefix.

Crypto is not going to fix the financial system, nor will it make you a millionaire.

Nah.

2016 was brilliant for its minimalism. No plot needed, no introduction, just tight combat and metal.

You don't improve on that with more mechanics, more plot and more MTX.

That's not what this post is about.

I understand, and agree, with the sentiment that more people should switch to Linux, but please don't pretend the answer to every topic regarding Microsoft or Windows is "just switch to Linux". It is for some, but it derails and invalidates a necessary conversation about shitty behaviour by Microsoft.

I have a machine running linux at home, I'm not afraid of a package manager, but Linux is not the answer to everything. Not yet at lesst.

I can't refuse to use windows at work, and much as i would sometimes like to, I can't just go and quit over what OS our computers run. That would end poorly for my livelihood and family.

The purpose of this article is to highlight unfair behaviour by Microsoft, especially towards businesses, which is a topic that needs more attention. Microsoft is in every level of infrastructure in almost every big corporation, and no matter how attractive linux is, that doesn't make the dangers of centralised IT belonging to one company any less relevant.

We should all do more to lobby for more companies and corporations switching to Linux, but replying with "just switch to Linux smh" is not pushing that agenda.

I think what this comment is trying to say is that we're headed towards an age that resembles what that song talks about: An age of unfettered capitalism, with a small number of corporation owning so much of the market that they can do what they want with no repercussions.

Off the top of my head:

Changes fall into two categories:

  1. Rule Tweaks
  2. New mini-systems.

Under 1:

  • Shove is not a part of the attack action. It is a bonus action available to all characters. Shove only pushes the target back an amount that depends on the shover's strength and the target's weight. It normally does not knock them prone unless they are shoved off a high ledge.
  • Weapons are given unique weapon action attacks depending on the weapon type. These can be used once per short rest only if the wielder is proficient with the weapon.
  • Removed the requirement that attacks must be made using Strength to activate the benefits of Rage.
  • Removed the requirement that attacks must be made using Strength to activate the benefits of Reckless Attack.
  • Fast Hands simply gives you an additional Bonus Action with no restrictions.
  • Haste simple gives you an additional Action with no restrictions
  • Consuming a potion is only a bonus action.
  • If a creature throws a healing potion as an action, it will break and heal all targets in a small radius.

Under 2:

Numerous weapons and items have systems attached to them that create or consumes various "charges" to add additional effects

As an example, weapons and items with the "spark" ability builds Lightning Charges in the wielder when certain criteria are fulfilled.

If 5 Lightning Charges are built up, the next instance of damage done with an attack role inflicts an additional 1d8 Lightning Damage.

There are many more. See Here and Here

I don't think "lightly" cuts it here
