Didn’t a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan
- Comment on Discord in Early Talks With Bankers for Potential I.P.O. 3 days ago:
Its the closest thing I’ve found to the discord experience, but it still feels young (I.e. buggy and laggy, UI feels off in a few places). Other than that its almost 1:1

Yes, a lot of websites embed Google Analytics, or more nefariously Google Fonts.
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 3 weeks ago:
Its more of a chaos entity. Because anyone can be a part of it with literally no steps other than saying “I am Anonymous”, anyone can say or do anything. As a result, one person or group may claim Anonymous while doing a legitimate hack, while another person who is just a script kiddie won’t ever actually do anything and you get this hot and cold, will they won’t they effect as a result.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 4 weeks ago:
I personally enjoy PNG image format for my compressed web images, but I’ll be damned if JPG isn’t “good enough” while also being magnitudes smaller, especially when I have to start embedding things as base64 encoded text in outlook and teams at work, or when I don’t want my screenshots folder at home taking 2TB of disk space (Spectacle can change image format).
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 4 weeks ago:
I would say its more like 60hz refresh vs 90. The difference isn’t super huge but when you notice it, you can’t un-notice it, so it’s almost better to stay ignorant to it.

Summarizing documents, writing documents you don’t want to (within reason), and… whatever the hell Neuro-sama is doing on Vedal’s channel, are like the only ones i’ve found so far that kind of work. And I guess image generation.

That definitely is true, we do tolerate a lot of rough edges out of ethics and principals.

Interestingly, the Linux foundation had to remove several Russian maintainers recently because of the sanctions.
I have not looked into the details on the matter, but from what I gleaned it seems like they did not want to (don’t punish the individual for the sins of their government), but were made to. Linus Torvalds apparently made a statement on the matter that I still need to go read.
I could be very very wrong on this and am open to being educated.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
A lot of people grew up in a time where the desire for anonymity on the internet was praised and respected, reading usernames unless you had a specific reason to do so was considered strange.
I know I at the very least have to force myself to look at them if it’s something that needs doing, as I am conditioned specifically to ignore them.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.
The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn’t feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
I actually hand-typed it, thank you very much.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
I listed a bunch of things that have been said by the community in the past, and pointed out that he made a statemen that fell into that larger bucket.
So, i would be willing to concede that I lumped him in with the greater whole. But: I did not start with the aggressive namecalling.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
Read the first post again and tell me how what i just said is a backpedal.

I accused the community as a whole of goalpost moving.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
I think that talking about how you want to switch but then claim the thing you want to switch to sucks because of totally fabricated reasons is cringe.
I don’t think everyone should switch, but i do think that people walking around spouting out bullshit that they clearly have no idea about should be called out and shut down.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 4 months ago:
So the projector thing isnt from DXVK, but rather from the Windows Media Foundation library. Basically, there are a bunch of video codecs that are completely illegal to reimplement locally because of the patents on them.
The good news is that Valve is working on a major workaround, and just pushed it out to Proton Experimental recently. They’ve had okay-to-good support for video codecs up until recently (right around after you had that problem), and now it should be moving towards great-to-perfect.

Honestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.
If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck.

-
99% of my games don’t work! I’m not switching!
-
About half of my games don’t work, I’m not swiching!
-
20% of my games don’t work but the ones that do are all perfect, I’m not switching!
-
10% of my games don’t work and Valve is pushing for functioning anticheat with EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye, i’m not switching!
-
You are here → 0.1% of my games don’t work because of holdout companies being assholes and refusing to support Linux despite the massive success of the Steam Deck, I’m not switching!
At some point you have to ask yourself if it’s the companies thats holding you back or if it’s really actually you who are holding yourself back. Switching is gonna always require some kind of sacrifice or another, and currently that sacrifice has never been this minimal.

I dont think that the developers who came up with the processes for LLMs were really targeting that usecase. It just so happens that the limitations of LLMs also lend power to disinformatiom. LLMs don’t really know how to say “I don’t know”.
