Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.
All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he’s just as good an artist and Jezza doesn’t have the heart to call him out on it.
I’d say convenience and shareability. I come across far more dead Dropbox links than dead Google Drive links.
And Onedrive is further down in enshittification than Drive. Like windows relentlessly trying to reenable and reinstall without permission.
Overall I like it cause it’s just there and works. But I wholeheartedly would not recommend it for business applications (without backups at least). There have been instances of companies data just getting deleted or randomly banned from their google account.
In essence, I would not pay for upgraded storage.
Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother’s an actual artist too so it’s hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very “anti-woke” and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.
The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he “gave them” a child, while the ones that didn’t get pregnant were jealous.
He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn’t the protagonist’s viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.
Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.
Honestly Google Drive works great as free storage (Though for large storage there’s no guarantee they won’t accidentally delete it, it’s happened before).
And Google Suite is good enough if you can’t be bothered to get Microsoft Office. Though they’re forcing AI into it and have some weird quirks like being unable to copypaste external text with rightclick.
I love the idea of Weird Al personally telling strangers to eat rocks and glue.

There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought “this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?”.
That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out “make it bigga!” then pushed to production.

I imagine it’s because the attributes that IQ measure could be the same as we use to measure success.
Effectively if your test is based on the skills needed for STEM, and the STEM fields have jobs with high pay and respect, then you’re likely to be considered “successful”. But the same person could be awful at communication, politics, the arts, and just be ignorant at large to how the world works. They may even be hyper specialized to their field but lack the flexibility in their intelligence to understand other STEM fields (I hear physicists are guilty of this).
Another, simpler answer, could just be that already wealthy people have better access to stable education, so they were already successful in many ways.
God you don’t realize how many tiny things you need to buy until you don’t have them.
You’d expect to find something like a ruler, some tape, a pen, sticky notes, ect. but realize you gotta buy them first instead of just searching your clutter drawers.
Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.
Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.
I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.
Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.
Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.
Unfortunately the spam arms race has destroyed any chance of search going back to the good ole days. SEO and AI content farms means we’ll need a whole new system to categorize webpages, as well as filter out human sounding but low effort spam.
Point being, it’s no longer enough to find a page that’s relevant to the topic, it has to be relevant and actually deliver information, which currently the only feasible tech that can differentiate those is LLMs.
Gemini is weirdly constrained compared to other LLMs, it feels far more like it’s just searching for text that already exists and copy-pasting it. (I have the free trial Gemini Advanced too)
Soo, appropriate for Google I guess? But besides summaries and search it barely feels like an LLM.
Luz is the opposite actually, she’s a hyperactive dense extrovert that relies on cleverness and magic instead of a weapon.
Yeah I love Foundry, but I’m convinced the DM needs technical knowledge to use it. I ran a server for non tech savvy DM and it was like working customer service.
With plenty of investment you can get the tabletop to be almost exactly what you want it to be, and for a popular system like 5e you can make it as automated as a Baldurs Gate game. You just need to download a lot of modules to get there and customize a lot of settings. Without that it just becomes a less intuitive Roll20.
And I must stress from experience, never offer to host/troubleshoot a server for someone else, especially if the DM likes to complain or can’t handle minor technical setbacks.
If you want barebones Windows I’d suggest you cough cough obtain Windows 10 LTSC.
It’s got most the bloatware cut out, you just have to reenable the old style picture viewer.
Though when I eventually make a new PC, I’m probably just gonna use Linux Mint because I hear running Windows games/software isn’t nearly as bad nowadays, thanks Steam.
That “rated 3 and up” is killing me.
Finally a solution for those jobless deadbeat infants.
My biggest gripe with Webp. If people just add support like Jpg, Png, Tiff, ect. then I could just use it like any other image without having to open with a browser.
