You might have guessed it: this is #Fate.

With #Aspects, it succeeds in translating written concepts about your character into fluff and game mechanics.

Fate points let payers emphasize where they want to succeed. They let them choose their own demise to gain them, creating story.

The meta game to determine the outcome of a scene makes Fate utterly collaborative, and still immersive.

Player empowerment mechanics are strong in this one.

Seems there was a glitch on a popular astrology app this morning as I was able to view what is usually 'premium' aka pay to access content. I'm a little confused as it appears that in their explanations for aspects in the natal chart, they have included all aspects between signs, regardless of the degree.

For example, they've written that I have Saturn sextile my Ascendant. However if you actually look at the degrees of those planets in my chart, Saturn is at 11'34° Aqua and my ASC is 25'47° Sag. Yes, Sagittarius and Aquarius are sextile one another as signs but as an aspect that's an orb of over 14°. This is pushing it a lot, no? And it's the same across all the provided aspects. I definitely wouldn't have thought that an orb that wide, especially one that doesn't even involve a luminary, would have any impact at all.

I've never seen this before, in my reading over the years what I've learned is quite the contrary, anything over 8° at a stretch but generally focusing on 3° and under for the most part. It's possible I'm missing something, are there other astrology enthusiasts/professionals out there that do things differently?

I guess I'm relieved that I didn't waste my money on the app, as I've considered it may a time as I generally like the information provided, but I would have been really disappointed had I paid what I consider to be an expensive price for an app and seen that this is what was included.

@humanetech
Hi Humane,
Its a decent-looking site yes and well done on setting it up. The problem is that we find it already difficult keeping up with the subsrcptions we have. Then there's the js, too.

@bob
Agree BugBounties might not be for everyone, that's why we produced three variants. There's one that says "ProtectiveByDesign", and talks about how users can create difference #Aspects to protect their public self between, for example, activism or their dating identity.

@scribe
Welcome back, scribe!

There's a lot to do :)

In January, we produced a (#)fediFlyer with customisable content. One variant talks about "#Aspects" another allows anyone to produce their very own #Fediverse (#)BugBounty, to get more eyeballs on the code.

All of this is to help boost Fedi amidst some very bad practices by #BigTech, including now in #Australia.

In March, our govt asked #Facebook to bribe our #corporateMedia and #Fakebook said, "We'll decide how we #bribe" (paraphrasing).

(2/2) When you setup a different account like this they are called #Aspects, because they are for different aspects of your life.

To improve your anonymity and limit location tracking, especially for private Aspects, you can use #Orbot, a special decentralised VPN that bounces your traffic around. Orbit is also (kinda) available from FDroid. Fedilab is designed to work with Orbot, see Settings.

You might also want to avoid BigData instances like #CAGFAM for any private Aspect.

@TransGal4872
Yes, fediverse and #FDroid apps like #Fedilab, are designed to enable you to use different instances for different Aspects of your life.

Its up to you whether you want to link those #Aspects together, or enjoy them separately, but yes, we would recommend separating your Aspects, if you have any doubts at all.

Keep in mind that almost all m sexuality orientated instances are #Cloudflare, *wink*.

@lemmy@botsin.space
Nice discussion there.

For those who like the #socialGraph aspect, look into #aspects. Apps like #Fedilab make it easy to move between difference #identities for difference "aspects" of your life.

So one can enjoy an #activist aspect while maintaining a #professional aspect akin to #linkedIn and then another for #dating.

This type of separation is incredibly important in the modern digital world of #BigData. If one goes down this path they ought use #Orbot/#Tor to hide web traffic.

@fruechtchen
Very well. Have you heard of the Fedilab app. It might solve your first two #cookies problems.

Also you can have multiple accounts in it, called '#Aspects' if memory serves, to seperate different aspects of your life.
