Fuck you, Subscribe.

It would need to physically slap you through the screen to be worse than it already is. How is anyone still using it? inertia? there’s literally no way anyone started using it after the subscription was added right?

Youtube keeps trying to add friction but it’s still better for most people as a direct result because it makes the content worse without youtube specific plugins. I can’t imagine what needing a vpn would look like because it’s never been a good experience whenever I’ve tried in the past, I’m just lucky I don’t really need one I guess.

mirroring content is never a bad idea.

The biggest problem I have with peertube besides videos buffering or simply not loading at all is the fact creators just cross post their youtube content which is a worse experience than just watching on youtube with sponsor block.

I have a netgear router that isn’t even that old and it doesn’t have gigabit ports.

even though I was able to throw openwrt on there to mess around with it’s still e-waste

no, this is a psy op to make people think anyone was ever on twitter

this but unironically

learning is the basis of all known intelligence. LLMs have learned something very specific, AGI would need to be built by generalising the core functionality of learning not as an outgrowth of fully formed LLMs.

and yes the current approach is very much using a brick to open a lock and that’s why it’s … ahem … hit a brick wall.

Turns out AI isn’t real and has no fidelity.

Machine learning could be the basis of AI but is anyone even working on that when all the money is in LLMs?

That’s the joke.

But damned if MS aren’t trying to make it a reality at every turn.

Win 11 requires TPM.

until they need that last few percent to make line go up

Finally, the year of the Linux desktop

the other side has always been the state and it’s always had all the guns

Microsoft’s malware is just protecting you.

Game recognises game.

this is the police we’re talking about, they probably just forgot to charge them and are trying to shift the blame

right? I already have the ones I give a shit about … On my shelf where they can’t de-list them.

I still have a 2nd drive with windows on it for davinci because things don’t quite work right in the linux version.

I’m using Bottles for the 1 game I play seriously and it was the only thing keeping windows as my daily driver. it’s been almost a month without booting into windows now.

The real secret is to dual boot and don’t inconvenience yourself. Nothing will turn you off linux more than having limited time to do something specific and needing to spend it all compiling something that just fucking works out of the box on windows.

Use the right tool for the right job and eventually you’ll realize how bad a tool windows has actually become.

I’m all in on Linux at this point, it already does everything I need but faster

something, something, open source car.

did 80s VCRs even have OSD? we went from a top loading National to a hi-fi so basically skipped the 80s. and 90s VRC UX would be perfectly acceptable as far as I’m concerned.
