What it does

Ongoing: At a Social location, +2 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2011

A small Linux distribution built for security and simplicity, using musl, BusyBox and OpenRC in place of the usual GNU tools and systemd.

It began in 2005 as a system for devices such as wireless routers, started by Natanael Copa. Its name is a backronym for something like 'A Linux-Powered Network Engine', though he has forgotten the exact phrase.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
