  • I imagine that Brennan Lee Mulligan walks a fine line as a public figure.

    He still plays D&D often enough to (seemingly) not alienate people at Wizards whose work helped launch his career.

    But he also plays significant amounts of other games, including some that I think are Indie developers, like Kids on Bikes.

    I’m sure he’s aware of the issues and concerns in the community around D&D under Wizards - and probably shares many of those same concerns, as a fellow player and DM.

    But, yes, the idea that Brennan secretly hates anything sounds pretty silly. Brennan has been pretty direct with his epic rants about things he really hates.



  • While you can setup a second profile to put the Google services into, I don’t recommend it.

    The version of Google Services on GrapheneOS thinks it has root, but it does not.

    So there’s no dramatic need to setup a second profile, unless you want it for other reasons.

    I personally think the second profile feature is one of the things people think they want/need from GrapheneOS, but really are happier without.

    (Sure it’s safer, but GrapheneOS is already so much better than other mobile OSes - and I hate to see someone quit GrapheneOS just because they didn’t like the optional profiles.)

    An exception I have seen is for apps mandated for a job. I’m happy to bury that stuff deep.







  • Just tell him respectfully, sometime.

    As a parent, myself:

    • I totally don’t mind if my kids tell me they can hear me. I appreciate knowing our communication lines are open.
    • I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate’s share of the costs to run the home, they’re still kids, not roommates.
    • I’ll probably buy the kid some nice noise suppressing audio headset as a shopping surprise, sometime soon.
