Woah, that sounds insanely promising. Thanks for sharing!

Do you mind sharing your experience? What kind of documents have you been writing and how easy has it been to adopt? Any frustrations or issues?

Uhhh… You can’t unring a bell 😂

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.

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. 😥

Am I going crazy or does this somehow look smoother and more punchy than MW5?

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.

Any time I hear about this game, I always remember how much TB adored it. Thanks for posting this!

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 😅

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 . 😂

If you’re not memeing, I think that is Josh Hutcherson

Aha! I’ve finally found someone to talk to about that! I’m pretty unfamiliar with the franchise. I think I briefly played the first game on mobile, but know very little.

What’s so engaging about the first game and what makes you look forward to a second one?

That was an amazing night for Baldurs Gate 3! It’s a lovely game, so I get it.

I was a bit surprised by the multiplayer win, though 🤔

If they support this game even half as well as No Man’s Sky then I’m excited to see how this one works out!

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! 😱

I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.

This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.

Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.

The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would’ve cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.

Ruh roah, raggy.

A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.

After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn’t go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.

I don’t want to think about what would’ve happened if I wasn’t up playing that closed beta 😅

With what I’ve been through, I’m beginning to wonder if OP is telling the truth 😂

About 7 years ago I got a call from some random lady in her 70s. Turns out her husband passed away not long ago and every computer in the house had Linux Mint installed. She needed someone to help her with some various simple techy things that her husband used to handle.

I couldn’t help but wonder how this random lady got my phone number. Turns out that one day, my Grandfather went on a walk down the road and this lady was outside tending to her garden. I have no clue how the conversation shifted to the topic of Linux, but it did. And my Grandpa knew I was in college for Computer Science, so he just volunteered me for this task.

Fast forward to today and I still help her out once or twice a year with whatever random questions pop up.

From what I’ve played Killing Floor 2 is at the top of my list when it comes to satisfying gunplay. The original was lots of fun too. As long as this one keeps up the quality, it seems like it is hard for them to fail, right?

I’ve had some luck blocking instances within mobile apps, but that doesn’t scale well if the number of toxic instances is constantly growing. I’m curious to see how this gets addressed in the long run (or if it is left as is, since it is technically working as designed).

On the bright side it’s always easy to spot a cheetah!
