They may just be fucked front ends running completely client side, with broken functionality due to no backend

IRC exposed users ips, so not only did they not understand their low orbit ion cannon firing at localhost was self inflicted, but they didn’t actually need to ask for your ip at all.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 1 week ago:
What are the others missing? In other words, what are the main features of discord that make it stand out so far above the rest?
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
Hello!

For every one person who tells me they’re vegan about 10 brag they’re not
People are proud of who they are, I guess.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 2 months ago:
And it’ll happen again and again and again
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 2 months ago:
Correct. Even many engines say LLMs are a waste of time:
Yann LeCun, Meta’s longtime chief AI scientist, quit and said LLMs are a “dead end” because scaling text-only models can’t produce real intelligence
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 2 months ago:
A lot of top researchers have already moved on from transformers.
Yann LeCun, Meta’s longtime chief AI scientist, quit and said LLMs are a “dead end” because scaling text-only models can’t produce real intelligence, and he’s not the only one who thinks so. Lots of engineers understand the limitations of LLMs.

Xfce already exists

Maybe but most consumers, but I’m not. I don’t have a smart toaster or fridge or even tv (I bought a dumb panel, it was cheaper). I honestly hate all of that so called smart bs. “Smart” tvs take longer to turn on than my dumb panel. And cost more. For features I literally don’t want.
But yeah, to each their own!

And after the transformer rush it’ll be something else

When did they ever care? I mean, besides valve I guess.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 2 months ago:
Datacenters aren’t helping, but they’re like 3-4% of emissions. It’s still manufacturing plastic crap and shipping across the ocean with bunker fuel burn causing 60% of it.
But yeah, increased energy usage isn’t helping.

Fingerprinting still does a lot. If you want to do hard, use a VPN inside a VM. Even harder? Use multiple different VMs and a VPS with a VPN.

Good thing I know how to use VPNs

Pro move

If you’re only doing that now…

Jokes aside, I loved Freelancer and that was Microsoft

If I didn’t know better id think they’re trying to get people to switch away from windows.

Same boat. W10 LTS until I’m finished wrapping up some loose ends.
Then I’ll do a VM with GPU passthrough on an old Windows for non critical things.
I never loved or trusted Microsoft, but this (not just the uninvited transformers, all of it) is beyond unacceptable to me.

My sib, they’ve been doing this kind of thing for years. This is not new. This is how they operate.
If you value your privacy at all don’t use MS products.
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 6 months ago:
Thanks for convincing me to get a Mac! I love it so far!!
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 6 months ago:
I mean, AI is using like 1-2% of human energy and that’s fucking wild.
My take away is we need more clean energy generation. Good things we’ve got countries like China leading the way in nuclear and renewables!!
