Yeah, I get that - and I knew it was a long shot trying to find help.

And I totally get what you're saying, and I agree, but if I'm being honest with myself I'm not really trying to become a programmer (I've already tried in the past, before AI - and I've realized I don't have the motivation/persistence/attention span to become a good programmer. I actually changed career paths when I was younger because of it)

Not that this helps, but my goal is the board game - I've been working on this board game for over a decade, on and off - and this is my attempt to make it actually accessible and a shot of actually being played by others. My hope is to maybe get a "good enough" version/demo that is playable. If the board game ever gets enough players, then maybe an actual programmer will come along and create a proper application.

I know that's not really a likely scenario, but it's the best bet I have at the moment without actually paying someone to make it. And I don't have the money to pay someone to make something that is literally just a little hobby/passion project I've been working on. I've made the actual board game Creative Commons in the hopes that maybe someone might find the game interesting and be willing to work on it as a hobby as well.

Ehh, sorry - a long tangent without much substance. But regardless, I appreciate your advice - and it's solid advice, but being honest with myself it likely isn't something I will pursue.

    Oracle must be a mess inside. I’m a DBA, mainly in Oracle. They issue a list of security patches every 3 months. For the one published in January, almost all patches were late. Then, they had to create a patch for one of the patches because of a stupid error that any QA with half a brain should have caught.

    It is accurate to call both censorship, and that's how the Local-LLM movement have been calling it since day one.

    Corporations call it alignement, Chinese authority call it security and harmony, this is the same shit. You always need to dig deeper than the official speech.
