There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!

I don’t think this is the right community for it…

That’s right,

A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

I’ve always liked the idea of the cap being an immediate loss of any legal property protection.

This would not be through any process, they simply instantly legally cease to have any property rights anytime they cannot prove their net worth is below the limit.

Any member of the public can reclaim any piexe of their ex-property, until the not-quite-billiomaire gets a court ruling confirming their not-a-billionaire status.

Then the not-yet-billionaires can figure out how to constantly stay comfortably below the limit.

Or…they can file an updated wealth disclosure every time they attempt to keep anyone from walking away with any piece of their former property.

If they want to avoid the inconvenience of their yachts, cars, pets, plants, fences, lamps, and television sets being repossessed, they can negotiate with their employees unions for collective ownership in good faith, instead.

It’ll be fun to see how many of them are too stupid to take a good deal, and lose their stupid toys.

Oh, shit. No way?

The bigger surprise is that they’re not just walking out of banks with sacks full of other people’s money with cartoon dollar signs painted on.

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

Good points. I feel like Fate does a better job staying in the interesting in-between for longer, and also supports “epic” stories a bit better (than other systems I have played).

But I haven’t tried to force Fate to support the newbie to epic growth, because the rulebook calls out that the Fate rules intentionally ignore supporting the ability to play as a helpless nobody.

Hence the number one rule: cool stuff should be done in the game, not your backstory.

I prefer Fate, where the rules practically require having cool stuff in each character’s back story.

Yes. That’s one reason that the Fate system basically disallows characters ever being low level. Low level starts aren’t actually particularly fun, and they can prevent characters from having diverse epic shared backstory.

Everything I used to use root access for, I do without root access on GrapheneOS.

And also, I can still take root anytime I want. I just don’t need to. Instead, I set per app permissions, including storage scopes for each app.

If you’ve been waiting for root, check it out. I bet you’ll like what you find.

Do you happen to also use Arch?

No. If I did, I would say so!

Haha.

(Apologies to my arch-user peers.)

Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.

I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.

Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.

Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.

Debian and nano?

I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.

I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.

That could get old. But…

I play Pathfinder, by the way.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!
