    The part you’re missing is that it’s the Feywild, often known for trickery and being literal with language. I.E. The classic “can I have your name?” being a Fey asking to steal your identity.

    In the Feywild specifically, the DM’s pun could have literal power in that the characters would take a literal fall, and players in the Feywild should be prepared for such shenanigans.


  • Wow, what a mess. Personally, I’m fine with this degree of telemetry, trying to understand how many people are using your app has obvious value and isn’t a huge concern for me compared to what telemetry usually refers to. This feels like a bit of a “mountain out of a molehill” where the overwhelming quantity of feedback has aggravated the primary dev into being very jaded about the whole topic. I assume he got a lot more flack for this than is still preserved in this thread.

    The big thing about Bruno is that nothing is synced to the cloud, so I can use it without worrying about it being a security risk. In addition to being pretty great, and letting me easily distribute a collection in a git repository. For that, it definitely still earns my support as a good tool, whether I’m logged as a “daily active user” or not.

    Still, hopefully the main version does get that opt out added, mostly just to remove the black mark from its name and to be properly GDPR compliant.


  • “Good” also doesn’t mean flawless at all times. Characters can make mistakes and still be “good” without you having to justify everything they’ve done as perfect.

    An even better example is King David, the one and only “man after God’s own heart” taking another man’s wife while he was fighting David’s war, and then arranging his death to cover it up after he got her pregnant.

    Arguing that that, or this, is advice for the reader, or meant as an example of something you should do, is a comical straw man. A narrative doesn’t usually stop to explicitly label “good” and “bad” for us like children. There’s loads to complain about with popular far-right Christianity, why would we invent ridiculous arguments that are easy to debunk and make us look like we don’t have good literary comprehension?


  • Risking some downvotes here, but just like most stories, not every character in the Bible is supposed to be a paragon of morality. Just like in any story, people do bad things.

    Obviously this post is somewhat satirical, but dunking on something like this just reminds me of book banning arguments, and that general lack of literary comprehension. There’s better things to take issue with.


  • Ugh, this is what our legacy product has. Microservices that literally cannot be scaled, because they rely on internal state, and are also all deployed on the same machine.

    Trying to do things like just updating python versions is a nightmare, because you have to do all the work 4 or 5 times.

    Want to implement a linter? Hope you want to do it several times. And all for zero microservice benefits. I hate it.
