Yeah. Maybe too bold...I'm reconsidering my stance after some points were made about later seasons of DS9. Later DS9 seasons were fantastic.

Lol. Nice.

In my decades doing this, I can honestly say I enjoyedboth times that happened for me. It was nice.

I'm all for companies participating in open source communities... but this is the company that routinely blocks me from viewing my aunt's reposts of Russian state sponsored racist propeganda just because I don't install the incredibly invasive mobile app.

I can imagine a few ways that this could go wrong...

Here's a controversial opinion for y'all: The season of Discovery with the broken remnants of the Federation examining how and if to bring back the Federation is the best season of Trek ever made, to date.

I liked the crying alien. Trek is full of zany Q-like entities whose whims cause fallout for everyone else.

Ooh. This would make a great tradition, here. Count me in.

Edit: LibreOffice. Good call. Done.

In epic scaled games, I work around this with a "reroll at -20". So the rogue in this case would have had about a 25% chance to recover on a DC10 check.

I also always include an in-game explanation. In this case, I would have made it a huge flashy "boon of insight" from the Paladin's deity.

Then it's all the more fun if the rogue actually manages the re-roll. "Dude, I even tricked your god!"

I would also RP right into it. "A voice from on high intones 'I dunno, seems legit, to me.'"

Similarly if the rogue actually fails:

"A voice from on high intones 'Seriously, you need to stop falling for this crap. I'm going to send you an amulet of insight or something. What's your next stop?'"

I've had players have this exchange, and then the Paladin decided to ignore the rogue's critical miss, and just roll with it.

Paladin to the rest of the party "I forget what they said exactly, but it was a very convincing argument!"

Thank you.

I assume you mean to check on his often they're is the breaking changes? :)

Declarative style isn't perfect, but it's a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.

I think you're looking for Ansible. Have fun!

The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a 'check', 'change', 'verify' pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)

Hang in there. I've been out there wishing for the same, so there's still hope.

Same. Tragically, I finally just had to give it up. Folks don't know what they're missing!

I actually did this once...I swear there was a good reason. I promise it wasn't anywhere that mattered.

Edit: I think it was a personal journal repo that I wanted daily versions of, but couldn't be bothered to actually check in.

I was being more evil than that, saying that if one is gonna push direct to main, might as well maximize the possible damage to everyone else's branch.

I couldn't resist and checked it out. I can't think of any reason I blocked them. Probably the white background image at night time thing. I've learned to double check for my Risa peeps, but I didn't used to.

I blocked whoever you're replying to a long time ago. So this thread was quite a roller coaster for me.

For context though, I block people for posting images with bright white backgrounds that blind me when I'm reading later at night than I should. So I have no way of knowing if what I'm missing is awful, or delightful.

(I mean, I could log out and check, but what fun would that be...)

Well that's about half my commit messages that are going to be nonsense on weekends projects, now. Thank you!

Not with that attitude! /s

You forgot this --force flag.
