That only applies to work devices. If you’re using your personal device, they would be able to see traffic to/from a dating website but not the actual content.

Cult of the Dead Cow unveils 'Veilid', "a secure peer-to-peer network for apps that flips off the surveillance economy" (www.theregister.com)

DEF CON Infosec super-band the Cult of the Dead Cow has released Veilid (pronounced vay-lid), an open source project applications can use to connect up clients and transfer information in a peer-to-peer decentralized manner....

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Exactly. I’ve been using AI (mainly ChatGPT and Midjourney) for my current campaign and it’s great. While I make up most of the campaign myself, ChatGPT is like a supercharged contextually aware DM app. “Come up with a monster that would fit x situation”, “make up a riddle for the players”, “what do the rules say about x?” and so on. It’s like having another person to discuss the creative choices with, but that person is an expert that knows every rule, monster, place and so on.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Yes, but what’s nice about using AI for it is that it’s contextually aware. If my players are in a major city I want a dice table that fits that context, if they’re in a small seaside village I want one for that context. I may also want to customize it with very easy or very hard monsters, NPC’s with certain backgrounds or traits and so on. I’ve been using ChatGPT for exactly that and it really helps make the campaigns less repetitive.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Is it possible to use it without syncing all browser tabs? I tried to read about it on their website since I want to know exactly what they collect and how they store it but couldn’t find anuthing other than instructions on how to set it up.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Wait, they banned r/savethirdpartyapps? I guess they really don’t give a shit about anything other than making money.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Authority is useless. It’s all about building relationships, especially with the difficult kids. The rest will usually listen to you anyway just because you’re an adult.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Third baker in this thread. Is this a conspiracy from Big Cake to take over the fediverse?!

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Now I wonder if it would work on those tiny painful as fuck cuts that you get around your fingernails during winter when your skin is dry. I’ve been using those expensive Compeed bandaids which do provide instant relief but if it’s just about blocking the air then maybe Vaseline could be just as good.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

I agree with many of the comments about just choosing a direction and trying out a lot of things - that is absolutely what you should do at first.

However, I disagree with many on the part about just finding something that pays the bills and finances your hobbies. You’re going to do your job for 40 hours a week for almost your whole life. There is nothing you’ll spend more time doing than your job.

I’ve found a job that I love and it makes life much more enjoyable. While my job doesn’t have an exact US equivalent, the best way to describe it is that I work as a teaching assistant during the school day and as a teacher at after-school. Sure, I still hate getting up on Mondays (and the rest of the days too, honestly), dealing with difficult parents and idiot bosses and all the other annoying shit that comes with any job, but all in all I love it and I’d gladly keep working 20-30 hours a week there for free if I won the lottery tomorrow. I could make hundreds or even a thousand dollars more every month if I took say a factory job, but it’s still worth it because I genuinely have fun doing my job.

Try to find something that you really like and still pays the bills. It’s worth it.

DM_ME_SQUIRRELS,

Why did you have to do that? What happened?
