As the rule of thumb with FOSS projects, it has a horrible name

Time to rename it to one of the very creative FOSS project names

• yet another something (YAS)
• something is not other thing (SINOT)
• OpenSomething, FreeSomething, LibreSomething
• Something
• Periodic table
• Somethingify (this one is new)

Kudos to devs though. This is awesome

I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi

I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.

I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable

I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms

They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn't exist in any version of GTK

This seems like a stupid idea at first but it's actually amazing. They mix high resistance metals into the bricks so the bricks can conduct electricity and heat up while doing that. And then they blow air through the holes on the bricks to extract the heat whem needed. It leaks about 3% of the stored energy per day which is absolutely nothing considering it's cost

I'm gonna drop these papers here. First one is more of a brief intro and the second one discusses practicality and logistics of such systems

that's enough staring at the simulation on big computer today

time to lay down and talk to weirdos with the little computer

and if you can't decide, you can use the middle sized computer to stare at a smaller simulation

A criminal commiting crimes, not suprised. He won't get punished for it, and I'll not be surprised about that either

They'll probably say this is not a violation of the Logan act since trump is just "discussing about the ceasefire", not negotiating.

But this is clearly a violation because this conversation could greatly change the war and US-Israel relationships

Fuck yeah I'm gonna install Arch Linux^btw on my microchip

it's a parody of this poster from early 2000s

cat /dev/random > /dev/pty23

Imagine someone adding this to your .profile

I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao
