Uhhh... You can't unring a bell ๐Ÿ˜‚

I understand that this new CEO has been dealt a pretty shit hand and is doing their best. But, I doubt they'll win back many people that have already migrated to new tools.

His expression when she said that was GOLD

I've been looking around for demos that would actually be more fun to play on the deck than playing on my PC. Right now I'm eyeing up one called Combat Complex that is a twin-stick shooter ARPG with shooting mechanics that look really juicy! I'm hoping to get it installed tomorrow and give it a shot ๐Ÿคฉ

I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.

I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

The features I use the most are:

  • Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
  • Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
  • Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
  • The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
  • The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.

My husband and I are in the exact same boat. Not looking forward to it sinking. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Oh, goodness, this is the first time I've ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn't give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it's due! Thanks for your hard work!

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they've shared a roadmap? I'd love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

Oh, that sounds really cool!! I haven't actually used chatGPT so I'm not familiar with the pricing or free limitations of it.

Recently I've been really enjoying LM studio for D&D related things. I've created separate conversation threads for different topics, plots, and characters. So, when I ask a question it already is aware of the context behind my ask and it tailors the response accordingly.

For example, I recently had a one-shot and I knew I wanted to have a powerful sorceress who controlled minds. So I spun up a new conversation and typed out the basic info. Then I asked the LLM what her favorite form of torture was, how many people she had mind controlled, and what her lair might look like, etc. It worked better than I thought it would, although some of the responses seemed pretty cookie cutter ๐Ÿ˜…

I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.

It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . ๐Ÿ˜‚

A friend who I've only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.

It's crazy that I've interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!
