The Ukrainian revolution was live streamed.

I've bought a copy but the interface isn't very Steam Deck friendly so I've barely played it.

It turns out paper doesn't stop fascism. Who knew?

Looks like your optimizer link didn't make it into the post. Good shout on Cemu, btw, as I'm wondering if I'd like BotW.

I gave the build a go and it was great fun!

I feel like it's rare to encounter another person that doesn't love San Andreas. It was fine, I guess, but I really didn't find the setting compelling. The kitchen sink approach to game mechanics didn't help either.

I use an LLM to do stuff that I find tedious and can easily verify to be correct (e.g. creating arguments for a script using argparse), or turning something from a table in a PDF into a Python list. My experiments trying to get any level of reliability for more complex tasks have been infuriating failures. They invent parameters and functionality that doesn't exist, swear blind that something is true but can't provide accurate references (or provide references that directly contradict what they just said), and so on.

I'm reminded of films sold in Europe that have that idiotic FBI warning at the start. Where do you think you are, you fascist arseholes?

I didn't make the initial comment and I would have thought it was pretty bloody obvious I was making a joke with my second sentence. I was trying to make the explanation less dry, but thanks for the hostility. Reminds me of fuckin' Reddit.

Calling university "school" is not a universal practice in English.

Edit: last time I explain someone else's comment...

In much of the world "school" does not refer to higher education. Unless you meant that you went back to your high school at 32.

Edit: looks at negative score Did I need some emojis or some shit to make it clear that I was taking the piss? Back to "school" with you lot.

My question was about OP's feelings specifically. I could compile a list for or against myself, that wasn't what I was asking for.

What specifically don't you like about it?

This is what I miss the internet being. Great work!

I have fond memories of Weebl and Bob and Charlie the Unicorn...

7, because they don't feel special. I never have to fret about my brain wanting to save them for special occasions.

I'm reminded of forums that would have a million subforums and as a result never build up any critical mass. Have one big bucket, maybe two, and if something comes up often enough organically then, and only then, consider a separate subforum for it.

Whenever anyone tells me a discussion should be moved I am done. The spell is broken and the social interaction concluded because I'm no longer interested. Discord channels are fucking social poison.

I feel a fundamental problem is the ephemeral post model. If one isn't actively contributing frequently it's effectively the same as not being part of the community at all.

Seeing lots of familiar faces in threads, even if they didn't post today, helped.

With regards to your point though, I think it's one of the reasons I'm not fussed about getting "everyone" onto a single platform. It's too many people!

I'm honestly not sure this is a bad thing. Dear God, remember how threads would get blown out by hyper-configurations? Sig blocks that were 20,000 pixels long and endless GIF spam? Not sure I'm in a hurry to get back to that!

Honestly, no, none of the forums I ever used allowed that sort of things for, well, for obvious reasons!

Anyway, my reasoning for this is to help make it easier to mentally anchor a given interaction to a user. On things like Lemmy and Reddit I feel like it's a constant sea of random usernames - there's no persistence or community. I could well have spoken to the same person multiple times but I don't notice because they're so anonymous.
