Last week, Gizmodo's Linda Codega caught a fantastic scoop - a leaked report of #Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary #WizardsOfTheCoast promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend, remix or improve #DungeonsAndDragons:

Crucially, the deal is silent on whether Deere will supply the tools needed to activate VIN locks, meaning that farmers will still be at Deere's mercy when they effect their own repairs.

What's more, the deal itself *isn't legally binding*, and Deere can cancel it at any time. Once you dig past the headline, the Deere's Damascene conversion to repair advocacy starts to look awfully superficial - and deceptive.

its hit or miss whether it gives you a cat or a catgirl
when it does give you a cat it's very similar to the novelai cats though

imo we're really good at the "in whole" piece of book piracy but not yet "and in part."

I wanna see people cutting up the most impactful parts of 5 books on a subject and sticking them together. adding an extra chapter in the middle that they think is missing. rewriting to make it about their favorite characters. different ending. updating technical books to give more modern advice, while keeping all the good stuff. crowdsourced links and comments added as marginalia throughout the book. recipes for every type of lasagna taken from 100 cookbooks, with shitty mpreg Garfield art added throughout. these things should feel alive.

Since (e: I am told that) Fandom apparently intends to remove text walkthroughs from GameFAQs (which Fandom now owns), a tip of the hat to Reddit user prograc, who scraped all of GameFAQs up through March 23, 2020; the full archive is available here: https://archive.org/details/Gamespot_Gamefaqs_TXTs

Inspecting it in Safari shows it as <a href="tel:555-0123456">555-0123456</a> but then wgetting it and looking at what I wgot down don't have that.

Why the heck is this happening. @smorkin help
