I like the way you think.
I like the way you move through the world in a rumpled confusion, leaving a trail of half-baked ideas, unread books, and disappointments in your wake.

searching for stroopwafel 'cos I've not seen them in supermarket for a while & part way down the results, past Daelman's website is Manchester Airport. DuckDuckGo thinking I'd casually fly to the Netherlands & fill my luggage with them.

Lego has released a French revolution commemorative collection.

I like Firefox but after maybe the 10th pop-up pointing out some tool thing I don't need (fairly fresh OS install on this laptop), I think browsers in general need to stop trying to add so many /features/

Split view, vertical tab, tab categories, embedded VPN, generative hype train!

Just let me browse websites and be able to use an adblocker and tabs, stop trying to turn this into a desktop environment, it's a /web browser/

PSA: uBlock Origin's EasyList has an AI Widgets option that doesn't get turned on by default, including if you had other EasyList items selected already before it was added.

Enabling it removes a number of various AI buttons, nags, prompts, etc. across various sites.

My go to search engine is (please boost for greater exposure):

I'm trying to collect an updated list of drop-in D&D 5e replacements. That is, those that can use adventures and supplementary material designed for 5e D&D. I'm aware of many alternate systems, and invested quite heavily in Pathfinder 2eR, but my purpose is to make a list of drop-in replacements.

If you have more information on this MCDM thing and its relation to 5e, I'd like to know. Because I guess their website doesn't want to tell me.

So far I've found two major alternatives with online rules:
* Black Flag Roleplaying (Tales of the Valiant) from Kobold Press
* Level Up Advanced 5e from ENWorld

I could've sworn there was a third one I found a couple years ago but I forgot and web searches are fucking useless nowadays. But I'm still working on it. If you have any pointers that would be helpful.

LOL

"Don't use evil Chinese open-weight LLMs (Large Language Models) but instead give your money to "AI" companies that are proud of the fact that their models can escape sandboxes and attack you" is the weirdest marketing flex I have seen for a long time. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
