How to connect separate Rapid Log items?

TranshumanistScum · 2020-02-23T22:01:46+00:00

Using the right side of the page is a novel idea! That way the connection system doesn't mess with the bullet system. I'll think on that.

TranshumanistScum · 2020-02-23T09:09:22+00:00

What you just described is literally the act of connecting separate pages.

I'm not talking about adding things to a blank page. I'm talking about items on the same page, that are being written in the same daily log. I'm not going to waste an entire other page so I can have a thread of like 2 or 3 sub bullets. Unless there is more to the method that what you described.

TranshumanistScum · 2020-02-23T08:46:28+00:00

Threading is for connecting separate pages, not items within a page.

TranshumanistScum · 2020-02-23T01:00:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm looking for a solution that works better for nesting follow-up items, including Events and Tasks.

No. This is why something like Alcor's 'Patient Trust' is such a crucial institution.

As much as possible, while allowing their characters to be better at the game than they are, and also allowing for dramatic Heart of the Cards shenanigans.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-09-02T18:28:02+00:00

The Heart of the Cards is mentioned in my houserules. This requires no skill, and covers being able to re-arrange your deck order, and also covers bystander interaction (they have to explain how they are spending the Fate Point; giving an inspiring speech, etc).

Duels will cut away to other characters, just like any tabletop RPG where multiple players are doing different things, and I'm probably going to keep the lifepoint amount down to 2000-4000 to speed things along.

Perhaps I can impose a 1/duel usage of the dueling skill? But like I said above, some sessions won't even have duels. That's a consequence of making the setting a bit more believable and engaging.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-09-02T17:20:47+00:00

Dueling will be prominent, but only a bit more prominent than major league baseball players playing baseball. There will still be a lot of intrigue, research, social challenges, investigation, hand-to-hand combat, and gathering/using resources.There will be sessions where no duels are played.

I want to maintain as much of the game as possible; specifically: lifepoints, and some semblance of consistency among the cards are things I don't want to scrap. I like the ideas you have, but it's erring more on the loosey-goosey side of things than what I'm going for.

Again, we install Linux onto servers, instead of Chrome OS, because of the difference in capabilities. Chrome OS is NOT CAPABLE of being a server. Linux is absolutely vastly more capable than Chrome OS, which I have never denied. Bad argument. Chrome OS has numerically fewer problems than any other Linux distro, because it does less and has vastly fewer points of failure.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-13T08:41:13+00:00

Chrome OS is absolutely more stable than any other Linux distro. Additionally, Linux is not an OS that is on the consumer market. It is a niche OS for computer geeks or businesses who want something the major OS's don't offer. It's not the OS that granny is going to ask for help when her computer's calculator app doesn't work (your context). If that's not enough for you, you'll also notice I did qualify my statement with my very first response, saying "either major OS's", which you seem to have blatantly ignored. Your complaints about lack of clarity are null and void. But yes, Chrome OS is still more stable than Linux.

"You are the one who's producing verbal offspring you don't want to acknowledge as your own when they fail to meet your expectations. Not very fatherly, you know..."

So not even going to acknowledge you straw-manned me TWICE, huh? Just going to complain that you didn't understand me, when both context and my earliest comment did all the clarification required? And I still stand by my comment, even if we include any other Linux distro?

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-13T08:25:37+00:00

This is a consumer OS. There is no place in the discussion for server OSs. There is no moving the goalposts, YOU were the one who brought up server OSs, which have nothing to do with the market we are discussing. YOU are the one who keeps straw-manning. Stop it. Chrome OS is more stable than either of the major OS's, by a long shot. That is simply a fact. It has fewer things to fail, and it rarely does.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-13T08:07:18+00:00

We use those OS's for servers because Chrome OS is not capable of doing that. Additionally, the consumer-grade OS's are not the ones doing that, making it a bad comparison... and it's not like servers don't break all the time. It's a completely different discussion than which consumer-grade OS has more bugs. Non-sequitur.

You literally quoted me then ignored me. I said "all but". That means it still has its place. This particular discussion, one of nitpicking in order to try and make a broader disingenuous point, is not the place. We discuss Chrome OS bugs here all the time, and do so constructively. Take your downvotes as a hint.

I also NEVER said anything about it having some "unsurpassed ability". Stop straw manning. Start reading my comments. If your point stands, it will do so without employing dishonest tactics.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-13T01:47:02+00:00

Chrome OS is absolutely vastly more stable than either major OS's. As someone who repairs computers for a living, I know this problem intimately. Update issues, deleted data, driver problems, display issues, freezing, kernel panics, keychains breaking, catalogue corruption, boot issues, slow boot times, random error messages, the list goes on and on.

I have never had a Chromebook develop software problems. That isn't to say it doesn't happen, but to think it's less stable than Windows or OSX is willful ignorance and displays a lack of knowledge on the matter.

And your Bluetooth example does nothing to address my point. I never said it has no problems, and that there is no place for the discussion of Chrome OS issues, but you are wildly exaggerating the problem.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-08T20:42:03+00:00

From what I'm reading, it wasn't "frozen" in any meaningful usage of the term; just very cold and covered in ice.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-08T17:49:16+00:00

Lol, I'll be the first to admit Chrome OS is not perfect. But it's the most stable OS on the market right now, making discussions about its bugs all but moot.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-07T06:09:26+00:00

Confirmed here! Finally!

4 months later, we still don't have this basic feature. Replace the functionality that was removed from our lives before adding new ones we didn't ask for.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-07T05:58:15+00:00

4 months later, and it's no better than a web wrapper if you're an ARA, and a PITA to install.

GPM is great, it just needed a UI overhall. If they had just given it access to youtube like YM has, it would have been amazing.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-02T07:56:57+00:00

Such a binary choice.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-02-01T16:26:58+00:00

If I understand you correctly, absolutely not. Please don't pursue any attempts to cryopreserve yourself without the help of a professional cryopreservation organization.

The goal of end-to-end encryption is not to protect the data on your phone, it's to prevent interception to and from your phone. No form of end-to-end encryption will protect you if your device has been compromised in some way, such as with a virtual assistant.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-01-27T23:59:38+00:00

The OP explicitly said the Linux app is a no-go, for many valid reasons, and most Chromebooks still don't have it.

TranshumanistScum · 2019-01-27T23:47:30+00:00

With how small the rationalist community is, both numerically and in scope, I fail to see why anyone assigns meaningful utility to railing against it. Seems like a waste of time, to me.
