Returning to the blog (again)

Charge of the Rohirrim

Hello everybody, after some months (too many!) I come back to write in the blog.

I published the last post on August 24th (more or less 4 months ago) and during this time had happened many things:

On one hand I had been busy with personal and study matters during much of the time (and I hope these will be useful), for the other I've decided to not longer use Twitter after Elon Musk landing in the platform and began dismantling it (you may follow news about these in Reuters, Mashable and NewsNow for example). I will maintain my account there to avoid it to be used by others but there won't be many activity there.

Instead of Twitter I'm using Mastodon, an alternative of the Fediverse using the ActivityPub protocol by World Wide Web Consortium, which with the passing months have grown in number of users (you may follow the progression following this link about the instances).

The instance I have chosen is Mastorol.es, if you want more information about Mastodon, its workings and an up-to-date list of instances you may check the following links:

• Mastodon - Decentralized social media: Mastodon's main website
• Mastodon Help - Guide: Mastodon's help
• Fedi.tips - An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse: Unofficial guide of Mastodon and the Fediverse
• Mastodon documentation
• Mastodon instances: Website allowing to choose an instance to join
• ActivityPub Rocks!: Guide to implement ActivityPub
• Followgraph for Mastodon: Tool allowing to see connected Mastodon profiles
• Apps' list for mobile phones allowing to connect with Mastodon (Comparative in a Google Docs spreadsheet)

As for current series and posts I hope to resume them as soon as possible, although I will prepare a post about OGL 1.1 with which Wizards of the Coast pretends to emulate Dark Lord Sauron...

But they where, all of them, deceived,
for another License was made.
In the Land of Seattle, in the headquarters of WOTC,
the Dark Lord Hasbro forged in secret a master License
to control all others. And into this License he poured his cruelty,
his malice and his will to dominate all life.
One License to rule them all.

OGL 1.1
OneD&D
...To Rule Them All,
OneD&D To Find Them,
OneD&D To Bring Them All
And In The Darkness Bind Them.
