😀 Tom Quite a few spam accounts joined in the last 24 hours.
Martijn I reported 1 to in private, they made posts linking to / advertising actual copyright infringing stuff. Everything else I am kinda fine with.

Mark Dain No escort services though, maybe they gave up on the Sublevel
Martijn Been just two days since their last post. Give them some time to build another site they want to link

John Olinda Would the players reply to the DM for each turn, or would it be one single, ongoing thread? My gut reaction is that IRC would be easier.
Martijn I don't want people to feel like they have to be available at the same time, and IRC may make people feel that way. I know several people who would be interested in playing an asynchronous game. I imagine the DM sets the scene, and then the players reply with what they want to do to it. When all players have reported in, the DM updates the scene. I am just not sure if it would work in a way that is enjoyable.

Martijn Wondering if I could host a play-by-post RPG on , or if the character limit would hamper us.

Martijn Started following an escort service here in Sublevel to see if they can keep up their regular posting.

Mark Dain Hahaha well I'm glad they're preserving backwards compatibility! You can't really fix a bug in mt_rand as it's not truly random so there's a chance someone will depend on the output - of a function called rand - being predictable, amazingly. sigh. Just use random_int on 7+ and paragonie/random_compat on 5.x if you want quality random numbers (you probably want that)
Martijn The amount of people who don't understand the "mt" in mt_rand is astonishing though But really, the function should never have shipped broken and I believe it is fixed in PHP 7.1. This older test and its comment is simply amazing still.

Nkrs That's understandable, though my take is that it is also convenient to use from a mobile phone if you set it up on your web host. I consume feeds on my computer, once or twice per day, so it makes sense to me to have it run and download stuff only when I am interested.
Martijn That might still have you miss content from high throughput sites. E.g. sites who limit their feeds to the 5 latest items, but have made 6 posts between your computer's download moments.

Nkrs In regards to #25989, it seems like majority uses web apps for RSS feeds, with minor use of desktop apps that appear to be available only on the Mac. I guess it is time to roll my own, could be a fun project for the weekend.
Martijn I think the reason you will see web apps being used is that people end up needing an always-online system that keeps check of feeds when their own machines are offline. When you have the server based system, it often makes sense to turn that into a web app.

John Olinda Some sort of screensaver mode, I guess?
Martijn I mean the actual app when opened. Used to be a purplish blue for me. I also think the home screen widget uses a bolder Font but hard to be sure.

Nkrs I'm using Liferea for RSS feeds but it's starting to annoy me with frequent freezing and crashing, and it never manages to display the correct numbers of unread items, and it's the most decent desktop reader for Linux that I've found. Maybe I should build my own. What do you use for your RSS needs?
Martijn I'm using Feedbin in the back, and then Reeder on macOS and Press on Android.

🏒 Lucian Marin What is that tag for?
Martijn kbd's name is definitely from "keyboard", but the current spec describes it as a way to mark-up any user input. That would include selecting menu items and the likes. It goes well with samp, an element that represents computer output. This isn't going to break validators though. I broke those using main elements, because WHATWG and W3C have slightly different interpretations of those.

John Olinda Google updated the Clock app!
Martijn It is now black (or very dark blue?) ... any other changes I am missing?
