Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
So, I’ve got a weird question. Anyone had a club faction split? Our club is sponsored by a brewery owner. He’s been super restrictive about what other breweries we work with, banning interaction with 99% of other breweries. Some of our members are discussing forming a splinter group just so we can do stuff without asking his...
I’ve known for years that Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics for Theme from Star Trek so that he could receive 50% of the royalties, but it never occurred to me that I should try and find out what those lyrics were. However, the lyrics did come up recently in a nerdy trivia show I watch, “Uhm, Actually”, and now that I know...
The Phillies TV announcers just need to talk more about deadly serious and sobering topics during his at bats. Bring up a school shooting or two to get those numbers up.

So, I tried using Google Bard Gemini to help write one-line Character Background descriptions for a 5e supplement I’m trying to write. I specifically feed it the longform descriptions and features I’ve already written and ask it to summarize. The output I get is so foreign and detached from my “voice,” it’s totally unusable.
Even when giving it more than you want to get out, it can’t produce acceptable results. I can only imagine the drek this lady is being inundated with, and it makes me sad.
The only success I’ve had so far is telling it, “pluralize X in this paragraph,” in places where I wrote something like, “A Painter paints for a living,” and want it to be, “Painters paint for a living.” (I’m pretty sure Microsoft Word could do this shit in the 90s.)
Is it a meme? Whenever I’m making maps I always ask
Where do they eat? (Cook, store, and consume food)
Where do they sleep?
Where do they poop?
