- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 1 day ago:
No modern housing due to NIMBYs here in the UK. A smaller community means renting a tiny attic, basement or god forbid house sharing a room in a partitioned victorian mcmansion for £1k a month or more.

Eh it’s not really the same thing, there’s plenty of these sorts of things like rationalwiki and prolewiki and whatnot. I meant the Wikipedia itself

At the same time technology is neutral, it’s humans who chose this, so frankly less interaction and a bit more technology might be highly beneficial.

I imagine we will be saying goodbye to many such things soon, in the extreme maybe yhe entire idea of a global internet and many open projects like Wikipedia, I can’t see how they can coexist with our world now without being shut down or subverted into evil, might as well go out on their own terms.
I do hope a copy exists somewhere, perhaps waiting for a brighter day. Maybe that’s naive, but maybe truth and knowledge will become a goal again one day.

My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

I just moved to a new place with full fiber optic and it’s the first place I lived in where that’s a thing.
- Comment on LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week 6 days ago:
None of those have much real impact outside internet noise compared to people seeing their bank accounts drain.
I’ve been leaving corpo shit behind for years as a personal boycott, but even I found it much easier to invest time and effort moving off paid services than free ones because of a perceived material benefit beyond smug self-satisfaction.

- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
I have a Facebook account too actually for far more vapid reasons of needing a “meta” account to use Oculus Quest, and I have an Instagram from the before-times - for when I was a content creator. I just don’t use them.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
I’ve unplugged and absolutely nothing changed. People are absolutely full of bloodlust with or without social media and have always been. I don’t even use any corpo social media whatsoever still, I have no need or time for it.

This. Don’t rob the public of agency, they actively choose algorithms.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m starting to agree. Even if some of us here are more than evolved enough for this, it doesn’t mean the average joe is.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
Agreed. Many people have issues thinking in the abstract in general, even when they do speak on it they don’t understand what they’re saying, they’re just mimicking what reasoning sounds like, no different than predictive text typing, it’s why so many can hold completely contradictory views.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
Why is it fairly easy?
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
Yes. Social media is literally just a fairly accurate reflection of us as a species and our civilization. If people wanted, things would be very different. People simply do not want equality or progress, they want to hate thy neighbour.

Thanks!
- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 1 week ago:
Meh, I’d rather play at lower settings than upscale. DLSS just looks like muck and the rest of them are indistinguishable from normal resolution. I don’t know any game my RTX 3090 can’t crush GPU wise at 1440p at decent settings. I even turned off path tracing in 2077 because I didn’t want to ever use DLSS.
But there is one situation where I support the brainrot and that’s on portables. Steam Deck did the right thing by having a nice OLED 1280x800 16:10 screen instead of chasing resolution, it looks great, but if they do up it as most g*mers seem to want them to for mostly nonsensical reasons, FSR could work there, and something like DL DSR could help for games with small details if they go for an 800p screen again.
One thing I won’t miss for sure is TAA, fuck TAA so much all my homies hate that shit. DLAA is at least better but never forget they took SMAA and MSAA away from you for this absurd world where consoles advertised themselves as 4k, 8k while they run games at barely 720p via checkerboarding and what have you.

- Comment on I've done it again... 1 week ago:
Lucky. For me it’s either spend more money to eat beef or pork with every meal or just cope with always feeling low-key hungry.
- Comment on I've done it again... 1 week ago:
Yeah only proteins make me feel full, unless there’s meat involved I generally don’t consider it a meal. Carbs and veggies do not make me full at all and I never crave them, they’re only there to give me variety and make me feel civilized while I consume meat. I never really crave sugar either.
P.S. I’m not one of those “meat diet” whackjobs and I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans or animals but this has just been my experience entirely.
