went on vacation and another dude cleaned it up

the utopia/dystopia extreme views we keep seing

It's almost like the person going on vacation comes away with a positive view, and the person cleaning up after them comes away with a negative view . . .

The LLM Sales Pitch (mini-rant) (ttrpg.network)
 
  • When they're given an open mic, they tell me their product will destroy the world.
  • When I say I don't like the direction they're going, they threaten me with being left behind.
  • When I ask why they use it, they tell me it's impossible to get rid of.

I don't find this bizarre style of negative hype persuasive at all.

Site Rarely Loads in c/community_meta@ttrpg.network

Maybe I just had bad timing? It felt like errors were the norm for a couple weeks, but it seems better right now . . .

It feels like a miracle that today I can actually post this. Most times I visit the site, it does not load, with a variety of different error messages.

RPG Playstyle Survey in c/rpg@ttrpg.network
[–] bjaress@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month ago

I don't remember it using the word "prefer" or the word "approve." My point is that you don't have to always play the same way to give an opinion on which way is better, especially when the questions allow you to pick a middle answer.

Unlike some of the other commenters, I had no problem answering the questions, even though I do not always play the same way.

Folks, it's asking what you prefer, not what you always do. If you have no personal preference and just go with the flow, pick the middle option. If you have a preference, pick that even if you sometimes do it your less preferred way for some reason, such as the way the game is designed or how the group interacts.

So, "red, green, refactor" has become "red, green, deploy"?

That's a change, for sure, but I wouldn't call it an evolution.

Is that why the site seemed to slow down suddenly, not that long ago? It does seem better now.
