Roleplaying aside, is there a point in Gnomes and Spell Focus (Illusion) in core DnD 3.5 or at most the expanded 3.5 SRD? There seems to be a dearth of relevant useful illusion in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

You can try !rpg@ttrpg.network there is some D&D player there, not sure whether there is a living D&D community, but considering the main rpg community has like one post a week, I doubt a game specific magazine is alive

Can l post on Mastodon social, floss social right from here ? If yes, then how ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

People do post on lemmy from Mastodon/miss key, and you can follow a lemmy community from Mastodon. It's not ergonomic but possible.

If you use mbin rather than lemmy, you can even follow Mastodon users

How did OS worked for early "Smart" devices in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

How did OS worked for early "Smart" devices (sh.itjust.works)
 

The question on the OS got me thinking.

How did OS worked on "intermediate device". by that I mean stuff that are too advanced to be just a few logical gates and EPROM, but before the time where most electronic devices are a computer running Linux

Stuff like phone from the 00's before android, digital camera, washing machine and other devices which were already quite advanced (Some could already run java) but not at the point to be "just an embedded computer running some hardware" Did they already had an OS ? Was it a minimalist home-made one bought to a third party ? Or was it still mostly working by counting bytes and drawing truth table ?

Why do (desktop) PC have so few USB ports ? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That's a total of 7 USB slots.

It's been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it's my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB
