Thank you!!

Yup, my husband is the same way. It makes for fun road trips when he’s the navigator 💀

Thank you!!!

They used a big word: “graciously”

They must be the smartest person on the planet! Make them president!!!

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 . 😂

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.

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).
