Cave diving is so wild to me. All the horrors of spelunking with more cold, extra crap to carry, and a time limit with the consequence of death if it hits 0.

- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 2 weeks ago:
I had one truly awful professor in college. I’m pretty sure he came in hung over multiple times. Regardless of speculation, he definitely DID Google the topic of the say and get notes from other professors from other universities to teach from and then also had the audacity to complain about them. The cherry on the shit cake was him fall asleep during the grad students’ presentations and then was weirdly aggressive and nit picky about what they said after waking up. I really laid into him on the student review. Supposedly their boss reads them all. I hope he saw some consequences. It’s one thing to sort of be hands off and say “you’re in college now, you need to teach yourself,” but it’s another thing to be an asshole and disrespect your students by falling asleep.

- Comment on Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora 2 weeks ago:
I recently stopped working as a developer for Disney, and even if this deal is gone for using their IP in AI, they’re still really big on AI at the moment. From the C level there was a push for everyone to be using it as much as possible. Everyone needed to be showing how much they were integrating it into their workflows.

I remember as a kid they showed us so many nostalgic images of Ellis Island and talked so much about the American dream. Now they’re so strict on immigration that ICE is killing US Citizens.

EndeavorOS too, which is even closer to “vanilla” Arch than CachyOS.

Top ten numbers under 10, starting it off with an honorable mention we have 10, which is not a number less than 10, but is equal to 10. Prior to the discovery of the concept of 0 this was the tenth number.

I don’t have any experience with Google Fiber, but I was bummed when Google Domains got sold off, I forgot to whom. Google Domains was so simple. No nonsense.

Or better yet, try to find why they’re using it and help fill those gaps by contributing.

I try to point it out to everyone I see who is marked as a bot who seems human because you can also enable an option to filter all self marked bots out.

I may not have been clear, I just meant that “Discord servers” are not “servers” in the way the word is actually used (meaning a computer) and that Matrix instances actually are real “servers”. But yeah, spaces are like Discord servers.
- Comment on Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto 1 month ago:
This is bullshit. I’m sorry. I’ve tried signing up on like three servers with Element Classic and Element X and all of them fail. Maybe I’ve just gotten incredibly unlucky with the instances I’ve picked, but it’s been a much tougher time than joining Lemmy was.
I have an old matrix.org account I can use, but it’s asking me to get something from a currently logged in session, which I don’t have any. I saved all the files and phrases it asked me to when I joined originally, but it isn’t enough. It’s a possibility I missed one, but the fact that I do have a file and phrase saved in my password manager is evidence I was saving what it and me to.
If worst comes to worst I can just use matrix.org, but I know that Matrix’s “federated but de facto centralized” problem is much worse than Lemmy’s (lemmy.world is big but not a majority, but I think a majority of people use matrix.org) and I’m trying to help fix that.
It’s just frustrating. I want Matrix to be the Discord replacement but it’s a pain in the ass currently. And Discord is so many things to do many people. It’s voice for some, streaming for some, and for a lot it’s the fact that it’s DMs, chats, servers, voice, and streaming all in one and with a very large user base. Matrix, to my knowledge, is only chats, servers (or more properly rooms in Matrix, since they have real servers), and DMs. Back when I used it more frequently it wasn’t super active. Especially for really niche activities. And don’t even get me started on the state of NSFW matrix, I went down that rabbit hole and one of the top results was MAP stuff (pedophiles). There’s also just a huge amount of furry stuff, which isn’t inherently a problem, but when it seems like there’s dozens of NSFW furry rooms and a top result on search is talking about which servers and rooms are sympathetic to pedophiles and the folks most likely to be leaving Discord are the ones who were doing NSFW things because that’s what’s actually age restricted I can’t really evangelize Matrix as a good replacement.
This sort of turned into more of a rant than I intended. It’s just frustrating.
