Thanks for letting me know. Shame it’s only in black which kinda kills the point

Regulatory and taxation pressures? Wouldn’t it be mostly due to rising rent prices?

I just skip the AI stuff same as I’d skip any bad song. If a good song was AI generated I don’t mind it honestly, but I’ve yet to hear one.

In my experience though I’ve not seen a single AI generated song yet. I discover music primarily from Spotify, at the bottom of my playlists where it shows recommended songs to add, or below songs in the player view where it shows “similar to” or something like that.

I got the “unicomp model M” from KeyboardCo circa 2019 and it was a huge piece of shit, least reliable thing I ever used, apart from the buckling spring switches which felt great it was just the cheapest piece of junk and it worked for like 2 months before breaking. Avoid them.

My longest lasting mechanical keyboard was the Vortex Cypher 65% with Cherry MX Clear switches. Lasted several years, not even an old school Ducky usually did.

Right now I’m using a Ducky One 3 Daybreak SF 65% with Cherry MX Blue switches and it’s holding along fine. I also bought a random keyboard on AliExpress for like $50 and was really shocked with the good quality. It was a Yunzii X71 68% with some mystery “Crystal switch”, I only got it because it looked neat, I didn’t even know it was mechanical, shame about the ugly ANSI layout though, I can’t stand not having tilde next to CR when using Linux.

“algotythm right right themself notoces thier” to you too. Not sure what language you’re using there, it’s reminiscent of Latin though.

Also of course it’s not just about me, but it helps to put yourself in the shoes of those that will be impacted by this thoughtless censorship law, to try on their perspective for a change. I know that if this impacted me as a kid it would’ve been fucking awful for reasons I stated prior. You’ve given no rebuttal to this, so I won’t bother waiting for one, or for you to learn to type coherently for that matter.

Also how fucking gross of you to even attempt to conflate something as inconsequential as cyberbullying with real life physical violence. Literally if you don’t like the internet just turn the screen off and go outside. I had no such option.

And it’s not the youth that’s falling for right-wing propaganda, and never has been, look at the data and the polls - almost all right-wing voters are gen-x and boomers. The kids are fine, the call is coming from inside the house.

How are they going to talk on whatever would be the Skype of today without an account? Are you dense?

Why don’t those people who’ve been allegedly supposedly reportedly anecdotally harassed on social media so much they want to cut off and entire generation from socializing - delete their accounts instead?

At least there they have that option, unlike any IRL bullying. I used to get beat up daily in elementary school and wasnt the only one. If anything once the trogs got on the phones life got much better.

That’s so cool. I love the windows 7 look, really was the true peak of old school desktop OS aesthetics.

I use the DWMblur on my desktop PC myself alongside aerotweaker, oldnewexplorer and cracked startisback and some winhawk mods to get a decent look while still being usable but on a hack level this is way cooler.

Lurking the winclassic forums and checking out some new project is a great pass time for when I’m feeling kinda brain-dead.

I was a kid in rural UK surrounded by bucktooth hillbillies and the only reason I found out about gender dysphoria and transitioning was 4chan, if I didn’t bypass the multiple blocks the school had to find like-minded people across the globe id have offed myself.

For the non-typical individuals this could be a horrible thing and cut them off from the only people that might actually seem like people to them.

That was the beauty of the internet, no matter where you are, you could find some people like you online, even if everyone else around you does not even understand what being gay is etc.

This wasn’t the 90s either, this was like 2016.

It doesn’t even have to be so dramatic, I have never met anyone IRL that didn’t seem like a complete alien roaming about untethered in society, no clue about the news, no clue about much of anything, they can’t name media they like, but I don’t, and they don’t have any hobbies, even my cat had stronger opinions on stuff.

You’d be lucky if they like sports but they don’t even talk about it that much. It’s like an LLM struggling to keep up generating responses as I keep talking to it or something.

Heck I’ve definitely had more interesting convos with a Mistral-7b I used to run locally trained off my own WhatsApp messages and there was literally nothing new to me that she could say, (and unlike corpo yesmen LLMs she even pushed back when I tried to make her agree with me that I’m a deep sea isopod, she will be missed RIP).

Online people always seemed more real, actually aware of stuff, they had hobbies, opinions, dreams, thoughts about the world. This even extends to people I then went on to meet IRL after finding them online, whether it be dating apps or whatever.

All I feel is sorry for those kids, they’ll be miserable, cut off from the world for no real reason other than that the boomers are a massive voter bloc and they should’ve never had the internet because it fried their brains to high heaven, but cutting off their internet access is political suicide, and the government doesn’t want to sit around doing nothing, so they do this, the exactly wrong thing possibly, all while young people have always seemed to suffer no ill effects from the internet.

Idk what it’s like in Australia but in the UK basically everyone above the age of 50 in polls is some hard right racist, and everyone below is half-decent. Problem is there’s more of them than us, so we’re just doomed.

I’m always pro-information availability, so this sucks, I hope the repo was archived and returns and the FOSS paradigm proves resistant to harassment and the repo finds a new home.

I think the title of this thread is a tad inflammatory though, as for the quality of AI code, I mean, tbqh it’s more an issue of maintainers and standards. I’ve seen plenty of code written by flesh and blood people they themselves couldn’t explain either. Like if there was LLM code in the Linux kernel, I’d trust it no less than any other code in the Linux kernel because I trust Linus and others working on it and their eagle eyes and high standards for spotting problems and bugs, having passed the same standard I’d have absolutely zero issues with the code regardless of where it came from.

Well, shit, TIL, thanks. I should’ve read the article better.

So why are all these people going there then, if they have no real promise of citizenship etc.? Or am I wrong there too? Is Chinese education that prestigious? Or are we talking PhDs and researchers and the likes?

Wouldn’t mind some other sources as well.

I’m surprised we haven’t sold it off for raw materials to the Chinese yet

And what’s the number of international students at those Chinese universities? I doubt it’s anywhere near what the US has even on ICE raid day. China hates immigration. But they also got the money. The victors of globalismo are the ones who play the dirtiest with human lives.

Yeah it’s rough. Ukraine could become another Hungary somewhere down the line so limiting it’s powers to affect the union is important, but also protecting it is paramount. Between Putin and Trump, Europe is dying, whatever happens it must happen soon.

If you use yt-dlp you can just give it the entire playlist URL.

I think I’d be fine, I have a massive offline media library on my Jellyfin, endless game backlog, meme folders spanning content since 2014, YT videos from my favourites playlist (like 2k of them), endless projects to take on, and I have an offline backup of Wikipedia (both as kiwi reader and official tar with the offset file iirc) so if I need to look anything up I can do that there. Last time my ISP’s BGP shat the bed I just had a really chill day reading, chatting with my gf and playing some games during the workday, then making some music and portscanning my ISP’s upstream gateway (only thing I could actually reach lol). I loved it, and frankly even during power outages I’m very good at keeping myself entertained even without all that. I also have some Roland boutique synths that are battery powered so I could always just make my own music if I was really desperate for some entertainment and things got apocalyptic.

I also have dozens of books, manga volumes and more I’ve been meaning to read, lots of physical cassettes and a late 90s cheapo walkman to listen to them on to and some charged batteries I’m always able to throw in the walkman there.

Not meant as a flex, but more as a comparison for what solutions I have and a demonstration of what someone without an internet addiction of any kind might do if the internet went down.

I am an actual drug addict though (I have ADHD and receive a medication on prescription via the govt health service), because of amerikkkan pharma kkkartel rules I can’t build up a stash, only 30 capsules per month, only one month at a time, so I’d need to switch to my backup DNM amph to tie me over, though amph w/ds are very chill, you just feel stupid and sleepy for like a week or so. Procuring nicotine and estrogen might be more problematic though.

By that definition sure they are, but that’s a really odd definition which would include basically all internet websites with some forum-esque component and images, including Lemmy and Reddit and twitter.

I would use the “List of imageboards” from this article instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard

Hah I meant Instagram and Pinterest, obviously 4chan is an imageboard

None of those are imageboards

He just repeats what he heard elsewhere, he doesn’t really understand what the words mean, just fancy text prediction

I’d even say most western European and other big country capitals have pretty good data coverage underground. Wikipedia lists Hong Kong, Delhi and Copenhagen as examples but I’m certain I’ve experienced it elsewhere.

Even in London where there are many no signal spots on the underground the data connection is better than some city centres and urban areas above ground just standing around on foot, like around the Brighton centre and Guildford edges.
