Yup; that's when I bailed on Ubuntu and went for Mint.

The problem with using it is that you might be sending company proprietary or sensitive information to a third party that's going to mine that information and potentially expose that information, either directly or by being hacked. For example, this whole thing with Samsung data: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/02/samsung-bans-use-of-generative-ai-tools-like-chatgpt-after-april-internal-data-leak/

I do the same thing; it's been great. ChatGPT is often problematic in other scenarios because it will sometimes just make stuff up, but that's nothing but a positive for brainstorming D&D plots. I did tell my players though.

Rollbacks are super easy: there's a tool called Snapshot Manager or something (maybe just Snapper?) that gives you a list of all the snapshots on your system. You can just select one and roll back to it. If I'm about to try something weird, I'll make a new snapshot and give it a descriptive name so that I can tell which one to jump back to if need be.

I feel like night is a lot shadier than even a total solar eclipse.

I've been using Garuda since the beginning of the year, and I'm enjoying it. Having BTFS by default really helped allay my concerns about going to a rolling release; it's been pretty easy to just roll back changes when I needed to. Even that one time where I rolled back too far and corrupted my GRUB didn't take too long to get squared away; the forums have been super helpful.

Huh, here I thought Amtrak was America's Amtrak.

Came here to say this. Her rendition of Creep is just mind blowing.

Ah nice, that makes a lot of sense!

The group I'm running for are reasonably experienced and know character and creature abilities pretty well, so I'm using a whole bunch of stuff from Conflux Creatures to keep them on their toes; it's working really well.

For me, it really depends on what the party is up to. The big one would be advancing the in-game calendar; we play remotely using Foundry VTT, and I've got a calendar mod installed that I can use to keep track of time. Can even keep notes on it, which is super handy for knowing what happened when.

Interesting! That could be fun. I tend not to give enemies PC character creation options; I'd think about it for a major recurring figure or something, but generally I just use humanoid monsters. For big fights, like armies, I'd be tempted to use MCDM's minion rules. This does look like a cool little tool though!
