  Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it’s a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard

  Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go “if you want to ever talk with me again, go here” and people would follow. It’s a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on

  Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don’t really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn’t do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run

  While true, it’s very unlikely we’ll use hydrogen. It’s very impractical for this use compared to alternatives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Premature Speculation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capsaicin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truly “mission failed successfully”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s very funny to me, since GTA 2 is the only GTA I have fond memories of

  But then again, I was a kid so. Not exactly the most refined tastes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stress⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should you even call something out as a repost when the last time it was posted was 4 years ago?

  After all, millions of people have been born during that time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But apartments in the middle of cities are more expensive than ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s 54 years old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI has been used for these things for decades, they are just in the background and not noticed by laypeople

  Though the biggest issue is that when people say “AI” today, they mean specifically LLMs, but the world of AI is so much larger than that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations

  When you’re struggling to be productive and work, society treats you like trash, and often won’t give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve read the contract of my internet provider. No limit

  Then again, I don’t live in th US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Girl without smartphone unable to join in lesson — 'I feel guilty for not buying my daughter one for school'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised everyone having laptops and using them for school isn’t standard. It’s been standard when I was in school here in Norway a decade ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disposable vapes, not vapes in general

  Banning disposable vapes are just a strictly positive thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can explode without turning into pieces, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 in 3 People Often Encounter Hate Speech Online.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoken like a true non-minority

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beginning of the End⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but if you get hit and die from the shrapnel of a grenade, I won’t say that you died of blood loss, or from shrapnel, but not from the grenade directly. I will just say “killed by a grenade”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but the original comment never mentioned building codes, but the rental agreement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Octopus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, sure, but would you rather write that a substanc has a pH value of 11, or the absolute value, which is the hydrogen ion molar concentration, which would be 0.00000000001?

  www.fondriest.com/…/ph/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Octopus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition, pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 3 is 10x more acidic than pH 4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Yorker’s ‘Social Media Is Killing Kids’ Article Waits 71 Paragraphs To Admit Evidence Doesn’t Support The Premise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can tell you for a fact that if I were to unalive myself today my parents would blame it on social media, the school system being woke, queer people “confusing” me, vaccines, or whatever else

  But they’d never look at themselves and think that maybe how they treated me as a child led to consequences that still heavily affect me today. Where their “parenting” led to mental health issues that I struggle with even still decently into my 20s

  (And in case you’re worried, no I won’t kill myself, don’t worry)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see a lot more people complaining/joking about arch users than arch users proselytizing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s useful, you just gotta keep it on a short leash, which is difficult when you don’t know what you’re doing

  Basically, it’s a useful tool for experienced developers that know what to look out for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This researcher wants to replace your brain, little by little. The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh?? 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no need to use Blockchain for this. Computing pools like this have been used for ages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Effort require Effort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, body language

  I don’t even know what’s that supposed to meaaaan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is your writing skibidi?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Speak for yourself lol, gen Z absolutely had the internet as kids. So did millennials

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is your writing skibidi?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Were we any better aa kids?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kagi is announcing a AI Assistant.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But… Then that’s literally false?

  Yeah, modern AI-assistants are LLMs, that’s not surprising. I’d even argue that LLMs are the right tool for the job here (but not all AI, or at least only as the part that binds the rest together)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No screens before age of two, Swedish health authority tells parents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, as teenagers high amounts of screen time is a symptom of other stuff, whether it’s an abusive home situation or mental health issues, or something else

  In addition to… What else is there to do as a teenager these days? Especially in a car-centric place?

  Kids however probably should have screen time limited, and try to be engaged in other ways, especially their parents, however, many parents are not good parents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In theory? Yes. That’s the point. All I’m saying is that it’s not literally impossible, why is it so hard to understand?
