It's true tho, I'm tired of these people being unwelcoming and lashing out at people when they just need help, for absolutely no reason

It doesn't cost a penny to be nice

[forest valve]

He could have said way worse

[graceful burrow]

True
I thought I was quite nice :(

Clear and concise answers >
No beating around the bush

[jade snow]

Try working in customer support. You will realize it takes all your soul to do so.

[wispy marsh]

Need someone to be mean and condescending? I'll be at your service anytime!

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I can be a dickhead if you want

[jade snow]

To the people i haven't offended yet i am sorry please be patient ill get to you soon

[wispy marsh]

Yet? Your mug is innately offensive!

[spark frost]

seems to be, i just ran a geekbench on my exynos 2100 and looked up a video from when the pixel 7 released and theyre about the same speed at 3220ish points

[wispy marsh]

[full fossil]

@late flax some help here with people being sarcastic and mocking me?

[graceful burrow]

[jade snow]

Stay with your phone, if he wants to change is because theres something he doesn't like about it

[graceful burrow]

If you wanna tag mods you're supposed to tag the whole role btw, the mods prefer it

[full fossil]

<@&750150305383186585>

[graceful burrow]

I haven't been sarcastic or mocked you
I gave a clear and concise answer
The mods themselves have said "you aren't owed help"

[wispy marsh]

Bear in mind I have not directed mockery to you, you or you

[jade snow]

Basically aldo gives the generic greeting of there is help but don't be karen. And baer immediately proceeds to be karen. Ironic

[spark frost]

no, its my dads one, he just ordered it open box and will use it for uber only, he said take the better one or whichever you prefer

[graceful burrow]

I just be upsetting people when I don't even try

[spark frost]

nothing wrong with it afaik

[jade snow]

Oh then sure go ahead

[spark frost]

thanks, ill see when it gets here

[wispy marsh]

We who spend too much time on discord, are miserable in our own way

[jade snow]

Some people just have 7 day long Mondays

[neon mesa]

his response was a neutral response, not nice, not mean
if you're pinging mod over a neutral response honestly i think you're the prblem

and that response isn't even remotely rule breaking

[full fossil]

sifwia: Yet? Your mug is innately offensive!
Aldonist: Yeah I can be a dickhead if you want
sifwia: Need someone to be mean and condescending? I'll be at your service anytime!
This is mocking

[jade snow]

Glass kids these days

[full fossil]

and being a d---

[wispy marsh]

Ah, you victimised yourself. I apologise if I have come off as offensive, but no more.

[neon mesa]

good lord it's discord.

[full fossil]

Ah, you victimised yourself.

[neon mesa]

you'd melt if you touch reddit in one second on god

[jade snow]

Its so funny. Its like he's following the karen guide to getting the manager

[spark frost]

oh, one more question

[neon mesa]

man's really getting worked up over neutral responses

[full fossil]

Can you stop comparing me to a karen? You're being disrespectful.

[spark frost]

do you think the optical fingerprint sensor will be noticeably worse than the ultrasonic one?

[neon mesa]

this response is literally what a karen would say

[jade snow]

Idk, i have an lg g8x and the fingerprint thing is under the screen, thats as much as i know

[wispy marsh]

Why not just have a proper fingerprint sensor where the lock button is, like the iPad?

[full fossil]

How about you stop directing comparisons or labeling of others?

[jade snow]

If fails regularly

[graceful burrow]

I've got a oneplus 7t, one of the first phones with an optical fingerprint sensor, I've had the phone for a number of years
Works great

[neon mesa]

it's the internet, and it's free speech within limits
being called a karen is one of the most tame thing ever

[graceful burrow]

It's under my display

[jade snow]

Only real karens get offended over being called karens anyway, its like a self fulfilling prophecy

[wispy marsh]

I remember my first iPhone 4 and 5S. The fingerprint readers were garbage until the 6S

[full fossil]

I would appreciate it if you respect me and stop labeling me as a karen

[neon mesa]

self awareness

[full fossil]

If you believe so that's fine but please keep that to yourself there's no need to be name calling others

[wispy marsh]

After that, I went FaceID in 2018 and never looked back... well except for my 2017 iPad

[neon mesa]

just realized his mod ping over the neutral response is literally calling the manager for no reason

[gilded quest]

well of course the 4 had a garbage fingerprint sensor......cause it didn't have one

[jade snow]

But yeah people aren't willing to help you with that attitude

[wispy marsh]

Ah, it was the 5S!

[jade snow]

Confrontational for no reason at all

[gilded quest]

lol
yeah 5S introduced touchID

[full fossil]

Just asking for respect, but seems too much to ask for.

[wispy marsh]

The 4 introduced multitasking

[graceful burrow]

Where's the respect on my part
Saying I was being sarcastic and mocking when I did nothing of the sort

[jade snow]

Respect is first come first served

[gilded quest]

4S was siri iirc

[full fossil]

Do not harass, disrespect, discriminate against, or otherwise be a dick towards other Discord members

[graceful burrow]

You got antagonistic over a simple and clear answer

If anything you're harassing me by calling mods on me when I broke no rule

[jade snow]

Maybe its a chatGpt bot

[wispy marsh]

4S gave us Siri and it never evolved afterwards

[full fossil]

you and @wispy marsh starting mocking me afterwards. that's the problem

[gilded quest]

so sad but so true

[graceful burrow]

Where did I mock you

you
All I did was say a true statement

[neon mesa]

it's always the leaf icon good lord

[wispy marsh]

Oh my god, you're still onto this. I applaud you for being unrelenting and also for your attention span, but I also don't like clinginess one bit.

[graceful burrow]

I did not make fun of you
I did not call you a Karen or any other name

[jade snow]

The all new nissan leaf, now with less luxury

[graceful burrow]

I was not sarcastic

[wispy marsh]

That's all I'm going to say for this particular subject because it's hella touchy

No, seriously, stop harassing me please. Don't ping me anymore

Win garden barcelona?

[lament crystal]

I'd probably buy stuff from LTT store if the shipping cost wasn't so high

[wispy marsh]

Same

[jade snow]

Thats international shipping for you

[lament crystal]

Like, just to get the desk pad shipped over I'm $19

[wispy marsh]

I've only bought fp and bottles from them

[lament crystal]

I bought their hoodie once a few years ago but I wore it so much it basically got worn out

Like, 2.5 years of daily wear

[wispy marsh]

Buy more

They've got the windbreaker now and it looks so cool

[jade snow]

Dear LttStore buyers make sure to sell your old apparel to thrift stores so they may me imported to my country at a later date. Regards Master Cobalt

[lament crystal]

Hold tf up, $250 for a fricken jacket

[wispy marsh]

[jade snow]

Its a really good jacket -Linus

[wispy marsh]

It's funding for the lab

[lament crystal]

If I pay 250 dollars for a jacket it better keep me at the ideal temperature year round no matter where I am

And look fly af

[wispy marsh]

It's water resistant, not your personal thermostat

[lament crystal]

Which, in fairness it does look pretty fly

[jade snow]

We need footage of Marty McFly wearing an LTT jacket

[lament crystal]

Honestly though, I would easily spend 50-80 for an ltt hoodie, if I didn't also have to pay tax (It should be included in the price America), shipping and import fees

[wispy marsh]

I would if it wasn't so expensive where I am

[lament crystal]

So the stealth hoodie is on the site for $70 but when I go to shipping, the price jumps up about $35

[jade snow]

Id buy a water bottle but i have better things to buy. Like cinder blocks

[neon mesa]

eh LTT still has that youtuber merch tax
they're in the expensive side

[wispy marsh]

The bottled were very nice in comparison to overpriced hydroflask products though, where a 42oz bottle is extremely pricey here in Far Southeast Asia

[neon mesa]

buy to support LTT. but to be honest other than that they're meh in worth

[lament crystal]

Nah LTT store stuff is pretty quality, it's definitely worth the list price

[pure kelp]

Will i loose warranty if i unlock bootloader in a redmi device (india)

[lament crystal]

Like there's a reason I wore my LTT hoodie out, I wore it a lot because it was so damn comfy

[wispy marsh]

Wow, bootloader. I haven't jailbroken since 2018

[neon mesa]

i mean at the price they give they better be good lol
but you can definitely find way cheaper option with similar quality

[wispy marsh]

Get the Uncle Linus Potato Farm one

[neon mesa]

the thing is, other brands have the super power called mass production which reallly lowers prices without quality sacrifice

[lament crystal]

I kinda want to buy a 64oz water bottle because it looks really cool and also it's no more expensive than the 21oz bottle

[neon mesa]

buy if you wanna support LTT/want LTT branded merch
but if you're aiming for pure utility they're not it

[pure kelp]

will i loose warranty if so, imma just wait till its warranty runs out if not then i'll unlock it

[jade snow]

The warranty doesn't cover useful things like falls anyway, go ham

[vapid smelt]

Idk we don't work at Redmi

[pure kelp]

but it does cover full motherboard replacement incase it doesnt boot ; for free

[neon mesa]

warranty covers defects
if you want protection from your clumsiness, that's where insurance comes in
not recommended still as they're pain to claim

[wispy marsh]

I've never daily driven an Android device, I'm useless at Android advice

[jade snow]

Modifying a product outside of its intended use always voids warranty

[gilded quest]

wait till you see luxury/fashion brand pricing

[wispy marsh]

Sounds like the voltage mod Alex did on RTX cards

[pure kelp]

Ived asked in places but someone says it does someone says they dont, thats why i am bit confused

[lament crystal]

Oh I've seen it, it's crazy

[wispy marsh]

4k for a white tee at Yves Saint Laurent

[neon mesa]

LTT is definitely not the place if you're purely for bang for buck

[gilded quest]

4k what
INR? rubles? pesos? yen?

[wispy marsh]

Why the fuck does a plain white cotten tee costs $4,000

[wispy marsh]

USD

[gilded quest]

bruh

[jade snow]

Is fruit of the loom bad? Linus was shit talking it

[gilded quest]

fruit of the loom is very affordable for those who need it

[vapid smelt]

Because they need to make $3,998 to be profitable

[lament crystal]

I have some fruit of the loom tshirts, they're okay

[jade snow]

I bought a pack of undies, they are very comfortable

7 for 18$

[gilded quest]

FOTL shirts are not very comfortable

same with Gildan

[vapid smelt]

gamers Nexus tri blend shirts are super duper comfy

[gilded quest]

I love my Polo by Ralph Lauren t shirts

by far more comfortable than any other shirt I own

[wispy marsh]

My bad, it wasn't $4000.

[gilded quest]

$450 is a steal /s

[jade snow]

450, 4000, whats the difference really

850 my ass, i can buy a 350 with that

Probably... More likely a truck LS

[gilded quest]

better be handmade in NA/EU

[jade snow]

No it comes from the same Indonesian factory as everything else

[hardy lagoon]

Has anyone seen the 7700x pricing on Amazon?

[tired glade]

Wait,is that 850$ for cheaper looking t-shirt?

[hardy lagoon]

What seller is that?

[jade snow]

Id be bullied if i wore that anywhere

[tired glade]

What materials used for this?

[night heron]

yeah it looks like a scam seller

[wispy marsh]

Everything's cotton and plain white

[tired glade]

Is that a scam?

[jade snow]

White doesn't need dye, more money

[hardy lagoon]

I bought from it. Probably a scam. I'm not worried though.

[tired glade]

Bleach still has cost

[night heron]

definitely a scam but amazon will give you the money back

[wispy marsh]

The whole fashion industry is a scam.

[hardy lagoon]

Exactly.

Worth a shot.

[jade snow]

Yeah but you don't have to buy 70 different colors of bleach

[night heron]

kind of a waste of your own time

itll take like a month before they let you request a refund

[tired glade]

Bleach like chemical formula

[hardy lagoon]

I've got a whole 2 months before I can build my pc. I've got time.

[jade snow]

7700x like the old ass intel cpu?

[night heron]

youre probably gonna have to fight with amazon support for a few days because itll be out of the official return window before they let you request it

[neon mesa]

the ryzen 7 7700x

[tired glade]

7700k*

[night heron]

but if your amazon account is old they should help you

[hardy lagoon]

Whatevs 🤷‍♂️

[tired glade]

And 7 gen wasn't a long time ago

[night heron]

the seller probably wont reply at all if i had to guess

[neon mesa]

7800x is where it gets confusing

[tired glade]

There isn't 7800x

Oh,that 7800x

Oh, that why AMD hadn't made 7800x

[neon mesa]

orr maybe because the x800 lineup is stupid

[tired glade]

8,25mb of cache

[low rain]

Alr but even when I’m facing any direction rlly the sun js gets in my eyes

[night heron]

equip sunglasses

[tired glade]

Get something to block direct light

[low rain]

In the shower

[night heron]

yes

[low rain]

💀💀💀

[tired glade]

Just get peace of clothes or something

[night heron]

u gonna let a shower tell u what to do?

[tired glade]

Shower towel will do

[low rain]

Yes, yes I will

[gilded quest]

stop looking into the fucking sun then?

[night heron]

they need to equip sunglasses

[harsh quartz]

Curtain

[tired glade]

Most likely his shower has reflective title

RT shower or something like that

[harsh quartz]

Could also just turn off the sun

[neon mesa]

be grateful you still only look at the sun and not looking at someone's drone

[low rain]

Even if I look straight the sun still gets in my eyes

[gilded quest]

can you draw it out

[summer folio]

Do you guys also like to eat the ice in the drink? Or just go the freezer & pop in/chew on some ice cubes?

[tired glade]

Crush ice with lemon is good

[low rain]

If I’m in the middle of the shower it gets in my eyes so I have to be in the very front or back to get it out my eyes

[harsh quartz]

Ice doesn’t belong in drinks

[night heron]

get some tinted swimmer's goggles

[tired glade]

Burn that side for heresy

[harsh quartz]

Curtain

[night heron]

designer clothes are meant for multi-6-figure or higher salary people with nothing better to do

[tired glade]

And quality looks bad

[harsh quartz]

Weirdest part about this is how skinny that’s dudes arm is

[neon mesa]

5 figure or lower salary who wanna look rich infront of their fake friends

[tired glade]

Look how armpit dropped out

[night heron]

if you have to even think about how much it costs it was never meant for you imo

it's meant for people with so much money they can piss it away and laugh

[neon mesa]

people with that kind of money generally know these brands are shit

[tired glade]

If I checking pictures and realising price not worth it, it's a scam

[neon mesa]

they prefer using custom made ones

[tired glade]

Cheapest scam that can be

[neon mesa]

some prefer still using not overpriced clothes

[low rain]

Me personally I wear designer but not often

[neon mesa]

only one i can think of buying these shit brands are not people who are making the money themselves
but the relative of that person

[low rain]

Except my glasses which I wear all the time

[neon mesa]

or a trust fund kid

[harsh quartz]

I literally get most my clothes from Amazon basics

[low rain]

I feel like designer is a waste of money

[night heron]

if you're not a social media influencer yes it is

[low rain]

Like from my experience with like Yeezys, I think it’s pretty mid.

[night heron]

but some people make so much money that wasting some doesn't affect them

[tired glade]

That's not even designer clothes,it way to bad looking for that

[tired glade]

5 years old clothes for grown ups, just for 2k

[low rain]

My sister is the only one who regularly wears designer

[harsh quartz]

Expensive shoes make no sense, they’re literally designed to be dirty and wear out, but people don’t want them to get dirty or wear out

[low rain]

In my family

[night heron]

what do you consider expensive shoes

[low rain]

For me I don’t have Yeezy shoes but I have their hoodie and I think it was a waste of money

[harsh quartz]

Anything you buy for the name and not for the shoe itself

[wispy marsh]

Expensive shoes to me are New Balance 574's

[tired glade]

Look at that contract between skin and t-shirt... that's like 10$ shirt at best

[night heron]

in my opinion $250 for shoes is not unreasonable if you wear them often

[low rain]

I have designer but I don’t wear it often cause I’m scared of getting mugged

[harsh quartz]

Like, I buy 60$ shoes, which is considered expensive by a lot of people, but they last for years and they have memory foam

[wispy marsh]

The NB shoes used to cost 57.4, that's why 574

[harsh quartz]

This is very unreasonable

[tired glade]

If it had made and natural low product shirt, maybe,if it synthetic materials,10$ not more

[night heron]

when i decide the value of something i dont look at the fact that you can get cheaper shoes for example

i just look at how much they cost in a void, in comparison to how much money i make, and how often i would wear them

just like you can get a $20 mouse and it's absolutely fine (razer viper mini) but i would pay $350 for a mouse and not have a problem because i use it very frequently

[harsh quartz]

I’ll agree with this to an extent, if I see that I can get the same or better value for less, then I will factor in other prices

[neon mesa]

would you be happy with tommy hilfiger set

[wispy marsh]

What if the seams of the white cotton shirts are renowned zippers that you can use, to change out the parts of the shirt just like a Framework laptop? Would that shirt be worth $3,988 to you?

[night heron]

likes yes i can buy $40 shoes and theyll last me just as long

but if im wearing these shoes for 8 hours a day for 3 or 4 days out of the week for a few years then $250 really is not a lot of money

[wispy marsh]

What if that modular shirt costs $398.80?

[harsh quartz]

Start mixing and matching different shirt seams, have patchwork shirts, that’s would be interesting

[wispy marsh]

$39.88?

[tired glade]

So, Supreme is better than anything else if they price tag higher?

[night heron]

supreme shit is cringe

[harsh quartz]

Yes, but I know personally that I can already get very comfortable shoes that I’m comfortable wearing 12 hours a day 6 days a week for years for 60$, then I won’t even look at the 250$ option

[wispy marsh]

Supreme sounds like you have stage 6 chuunibyo

[harsh quartz]

But the drip

[tired glade]

People, remember golden Apple watch situation?

[night heron]

yeah just different philosophies

[tired glade]

10k poor man smart watch?

[neon mesa]

of course still get the cheapest one possible if the quality is the same

[night heron]

i wont

[neon mesa]

there is no reason to spend more just because

[night heron]

it's usually not just because

[neon mesa]

at that point you're just saying "i like burning money"

[harsh quartz]

Probably raised in different economic circumstances, which is fair

[neon mesa]

as the quality is the same

[night heron]

if i like the design of the more expensive shoes more and theyll make me happier then in my opinion theyre worth the price premium even if they have the same durability

[eager venture]

Guys,should I turn off vsync?

[night heron]

nah i grew up poor as fuck

[full fossil]

Yesn’t

[neon mesa]

well at that point it's aesthetic preference

fuck vsync

[low rain]

Me personally the family I grew up in everybody always wears designer and stuff like that but I js buy the same exact pair of vans like twice a year

[night heron]

i just dont look at something and say that all products of that type should cost X just because some of them do

[neon mesa]

i'll take tearing over the trash performance and input lag

[harsh quartz]

For me with clothes it’s all about comfort, I’ll pay for the cheapest thing that I’m comfortable in, which is why I like Amazon basics for a lot of clothes, they’re pretty comfy for fairly cheap

[night heron]

like you can use a $10 keyboard and perform just fine but im going to use my $150-350 custom builds

they make me happier

[full fossil]

I grew up poor, so experienced a lot of the buy cheap multiples times philosophy
It sucks

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, again it’s about comfort, I’m not comfortable with a 10$ keyboard, I’m comfortable with one around 80-100$ tho so that’s what I use

[full fossil]

What about $50? There’s a ton in that range

[night heron]

if i made 6 figures i would buy these solely to spite you

[neon mesa]

but yea i agree

[harsh quartz]

Ooo, angles and triangles and shit, you know this is fancy

[full fossil]

Fuck that

[wispy marsh]

[night heron]

i bought floatplane solely to spite somebody in here and havent bothered cancelling it

[neon mesa]

i spend more on my 32GB RAM kit because sparkly light go cutesy

[night heron]

i dont even use floatplane i just wanted the blue name

[neon mesa]

could've easily save 30 bucks on generic kits

[wispy marsh]

Fp has good quality

[harsh quartz]

Fair, I used a Logitech g613, which there are cheaper ones of the same keyboard around 50$, but I paid for the Bluetooth upcharge on that one

[neon mesa]

i don't understand bluetooth keyboards

[harsh quartz]

I don’t like the wire :p

[neon mesa]

unless you make mods like linus did you're plugging that shit anyway

[fossil frost]

but could also spent 50 extra on the kits that have higher speeds and lower latency, giving noticeably better performance, that just happen to have RGB on them because thats the way the manufacturer decided to go

[night heron]

universal wireless keyboard for applications where input latency isnt important

[neon mesa]

it's 3200MHz CL16 already

[harsh quartz]

It’s nice to switch it between my personal and work computers without moving wires around

[fossil frost]

3800 cl14 is faster, and just happens to be rgb

[neon mesa]

diminishing return from there
sooo sparkly light make happy

[full fossil]

Personally, logitech lightspeed is more than enough for me

[harsh quartz]

Trident z rgb best ram

[neon mesa]

my 2200G right now max out at 3000 anyway

[night heron]

tldr the existence of cheaper products exist does not make anything more expensive a waste of money

[fossil frost]

ive won many-a-match using my logitech lightspeed kb and mouse

[harsh quartz]

Love my Logitech’s, I won’t use anything else for peripherals

[neon mesa]

My G102 double clicked after 8 months

[stray apex]

If only Logitech could afford to switch the g pro wireless line to usb-c

[neon mesa]

but fixed it by drowning it in ethanol

[harsh quartz]

I’ve been told that’s a good way to fix most problems, including me

[neon mesa]

it's 60% ethanol so i can very well brick it but eh it was unusable from the double clicks so i'd need to buy new one either way

[fossil frost]

my g502 hero did, then i got it replaced, and it did the same, then they replaced it with a lightspeed, that was made with the better switches, rather than the shit switches they use sometimes, and its been brilliant since... thats the only issue with logitech mice, they have 2 factories, and 2 supply lines, 1 supply line has shit components, the other is quality, but the shit component is the "target", the good component is just a bonus

[harsh quartz]

Idk, I have 2 g502 heroes and haven’t had any issues with either of them, 1 wired 1 wireless

[neon mesa]

logitech logic smh

make all good component or waste RMAing someone 2 times
presses the second button

[harsh quartz]

At your not paying for a brand up-charge like with other gamery things

[stray apex]

that's just because the gaming mouse market is pretty competitive

[night heron]

the cheaper logitech mice are all mostly older less competitive designs

[stray apex]

yes, but at the low end they can use their brand reputation to beat out cheap chinese mice

[full fossil]

Why 2007-2013 feels longer than 2017-2023

[harsh quartz]

I also use one of their headsets for my help desk job and it works pretty well, better than Jlab at least

[neon mesa]

my keyboard is a 7 bucks logitech K120
it just works, don't need anything more
would love to do better but just because i want gamery light to fit pink aesthetic. but functionally the K120 is the best bang for the buck

[harsh quartz]

Nostalgia

[night heron]

time is relative

both to gravity and your own perception

[harsh quartz]

Can’t stand an RBG keyboard, another reason I like Logitech stuff

[night heron]

the older you get a year becomes an increasingly smaller portion of your total life up to that point, so they seem shorter

[neon mesa]

i was watching gothamchess when levy said "the last time is 20 years ago"
then i thought, "oh somewhere in the 90s?"
then he said 2004

[echo canopy]

Is this in response to my last statement about intra ISA? If so yeah. Emphasis on the quotes around risc tho

[neon mesa]

this one is a bollocks theory
more like that our lives become increasingly repetitive that we forget most details in our memory, giving the impression that time passes faster

[harsh quartz]

We’re closer to 2040 than 2000

[night heron]

it's not bollocks but it's also not always true

if your life is getting shittier as the years go on it can feel like time is slowing down because you're having less fun

[full fossil]

My god

[neon mesa]

you don't have to do me like that

[harsh quartz]

🙂

[full fossil]

Maybe more busy?

As a kid you do nothing so time flies?

But then what i say is heavily the opposite at what happened in the p-p-pandemic

[harsh quartz]

I was in a server yesterday and they said 2003 cartoons were “old cartoons” and I never felt more like a boomer

[neon mesa]

how did we went from pong to Advanced AI in 45 years 💀

[harsh quartz]

Moores law

[full fossil]

is dead

[neon mesa]

we also went from the wright brothers to the F22 in like 60 years

that's competition for you

[echo canopy]

In our technological boom everything is exponentially out of date or old. We went from the first “airplane” to the moon in less then 70 years

[full fossil]

Moore is truly dead to be honest

[harsh quartz]

Look at how much technology was in the moonlander vs how much is in a modern car

[neon mesa]

big dick contest between superpower countries does wonders

[fossil frost]

we went from the wright brothers to the moon in less than 70

[full fossil]

we went from gta v to gta v in 10 years

[night heron]

ai will be the next big boom if we allow it to happen

[harsh quartz]

And Skyrim to Skyrim

[fossil frost]

and yes, that will do it... we sort of need another one of those contests to happen

[neon mesa]

my pfp is AI generated

[full fossil]

Have you seen the new skyrim Ai update

[full fossil]

mod*

[harsh quartz]

It depends where we are on that curve, the beginning middle or end, if we’re just at the beginning, then this’ll be an insane ride

[echo canopy]

It wasn’t even a competition, the Soviet’s failed miserably. We only gave NASA on average 3% of our budget

[night heron]

we are absolutely at the infant baby brand new stage

[full fossil]

Then now its not even 1%

[night heron]

eventually AI will be able to design better ai which will design better ai exponentially, while other ai designs better computers

[neon mesa]

the soviet beat the americans at most of the thing but landing humans on the moon

[fossil frost]

in what measure was it a failure? the USSR beat the americans to every other milestone other than the moon its self?

[neon mesa]

the soviet beat the americans going to the moon
just not humans on the moon

[harsh quartz]

This isn’t extremely true, they weren’t too far behind us but they just gave up once we beat them

[night heron]

right now all ai really does is read information we've already put on the internet

[full fossil]

Why was there no ride to mars after

so much wasted potential

[neon mesa]

the soviet union became soviet no union
that's why

[full fossil]

Not in 63

[neon mesa]

mars is simply not in our technological range at the time

[harsh quartz]

KEK I just got warned for saying the Elon meme

[night heron]

in my opinion going to mars right now is a colossal waste of money

[neon mesa]

it's elon's money, let him cook

[night heron]

the only reason would just be to say that we did

[full fossil]

Tbf yes considering other planets which could sustain life

[fossil frost]

AI is a general execution function that takes a bunch of info WE as humans have learned and written down, as a parameter, and something else (say some txt as a question), and returns something that looks like an answer

[echo canopy]

Because we weren’t even trying at first. Iirc the budget peaked around the later part of the Apollo missions.

[full fossil]

But they are too far i think

[harsh quartz]

Father Elon is working on the mars thing

[fossil frost]

noope, it advances all sorts of other technology and drives all sorts of other things on the way, a LOT of technology we have now is thanks to the space race in the 60s

[night heron]

attempting to colonize mars right now is an absolutely astronomical waste of money

[neon mesa]

the moon is somehow set as the thing that makes a winner
the USSR just gives up after

[full fossil]

What if it has water as they say

[echo canopy]

Be barely spend anything on NASA and they overpay for everything. You are better off making that argument against the us military

[fossil frost]

"weren't trying"... very much an american answer... looking at it from the outside, the americans hired all the best people in the world, and was pushing as hard as they could the entire time, because every step they took in the space race, lead them to better and better weapons, that 3% at that time, was essentially military spending, because where do you think ICBM's came from?

[full fossil]

If we like fighting too much between us

Why dont we unite so each big superpower gets their own planet

Its like, we like to fight in 1 room vs each with their own house

[night heron]

who cares? we have water here

[full fossil]

A lot of planets have water

Just not near

[dusty rune]

a strong military would be better than trying to colonize a planet

[fossil frost]

do they have oil? because if they do, the USA will want to liberate them from their evil overlords

[full fossil]

Ugh

[night heron]

i dont have any problem with the amount of money we give to space research in general but i think that trying to colonize mars today would be a misallocation of those resources

you're trying to run a marathon as a newborn

[fossil frost]

tell me you dont understand why we are doing any of it, without saying it...

[full fossil]

Better than going to the army

[full fossil]

I think he is saying that money could go into healthcare , education etc

Problem is it doesnt

[night heron]

no

[echo canopy]

I think you’re also forgetting the cultural impact space has. Apollo/Hubble is a incredibly good example of it.

[night heron]

im not saying that at all, i didnt bring up divergence of funds to elsewhere a single time

nor did i ever complain about military spending

[fossil frost]

we are not trying to colonise mars next week, its the long term goal... and that long term goal is 30 years away... and all the technological advances that benefit everyone on earth in the short term, like, purifying water from contaminated water, or purifying air, or, growing crops in hostile environments, or microchips (space race), microwaves (space race), more efficient/netter material science, and thats just off the top of my head

all of which, benefit everyone and everything on THIS planet, before they ever make it to another planet

but no... spend it on more guns to liberate more countries that dont want liberating

[night heron]

we should have been working on those things before we had the goal of colonizing the dirt ball

[fossil frost]

we should, but without a lofty end goal forcing the issue, it wont happen

[echo canopy]

People have a hard time doing things without a form of motivation.

[fossil frost]

Formula1 improves car safety for the average car, fuel efficiency, material science, driveability, everything on cars... all of which we SHOULD already be researching... but... that little bit of competition, forces the issue to be looked at faster, and harder

[night heron]

this conversation could easily be diverted into a philosophical debate on human greed

[fossil frost]

FormulaE was invented as a sport to force the issue of making electric cars better... better batteries, better charging, Formula1 and FormulaE are research and development arms races... not motorsports races... the motorsports is just the excuse to have the R+D race

[echo canopy]

It’s not philosophical more then it is just analyzing what has happened in the past

[night heron]

nah im not disagreeing with the fact that it requires incentive to force these people to innovate

im just sad that it does

[full fossil]

The past is not always a perfect indicator of future action, though it is integral to consider

War is the best innovator, historically speaking

[fossil frost]

its human nature, the promise of reward drives exploration/innovation

[full fossil]

I wish it wasn’t.
I wish we did cool shit because it’s cool

[fossil frost]

not just human nature, the same thing is seen in other animals too

[night heron]

it's the nature of many people but not all

[echo canopy]

Hubble/James web are easy examples.

[full fossil]

For some the reward is exploration
Granted we could get all philosophical and claim that still maintains that rewards are essential

[fossil frost]

and 1000s of years ago, those people would have died in a cave in winter, while the people who are driven, will be sat somewhere nice and sunny, eating loads of buffalo

[night heron]

good thing it isnt 1000 years ago

[full fossil]

Oh god not the competition narrative again
This always turns into a leave the weak behind bullshit event

[night heron]

nah we're not arguing

[fossil frost]

the medical science we have... that wasnt done because people just felt like it... that was done because of war, wanting to win, wanting to come out better than your opponent... yes we made small advances without that... but most of the medical innovations we have, have been made during war

[full fossil]

Human nature is to protect those who cannot protect themselves
People who genuinely enjoy others suffering are barely human and I’ll stand by that

[night heron]

i see people who lack empathy and would only use their knowledge to help others if it meant they got paid, as well as those who are intolerant of the differences of others as lesser intelligent people

[fossil frost]

the germans in the 1940s took MASSIVE leaps forward for medical technology... they did it in a super evil way... but a lot of people are alive today because of it, and you likely are alive because of it too, and you arent complaining about that

[night heron]

who aren't capable of ignoring their human greed or xenophobic instincts and be part of a better society

[full fossil]

Honestly I view it as a remnant of feral traits

[night heron]

but you are right, the kind people never win

maybe thatll change in the future but probably not

[echo canopy]

The only inherent fact of humans is being social creatures as it gave us a evolutionary advantage. Empathy is a byproduct of that but is far from the whole

[fossil frost]

noope, its only going to get worse

[night heron]

i mean we do have some things we can look at and use as evidence that it may get better

[fossil frost]

because of capitalism... capitalism rewards this behaviour more so than any system in the past... and... capitalism has made socialism a dirty word for that very reason... people misunderstand socialism, because capitalists want them to misunderstand it

[night heron]

for example the popularity of open source software made solely to help people grows every day

[full fossil]

Why do these discussions always turn to “b-but what about 40s Germany”

[summer folio]

Tomorrow the electricity prices is -10 cents/kWH
gonna make some sweet cash putting on all electric stoves

[night heron]

absolutely you're 100% right

people are literally brainwashed into physically recoiling at the idea of anything being socialized

because the american government is owned by corporations

[neon mesa]

Human nature is definitely conquering as 12000 years of history proof.
Protecting people who can't protect themselves are a relatively new concept.
Humans amiright 💀

[full fossil]

The entire government is socialized
People are dumb as fuck

[fossil frost]

and those open source developers, get picked up by multibillion dollar companies... now... who is to say that their underlaying motivation wasnt to eventually get paid for their effort? they can claim they never aimed for that, but, how can we trust the newly made multimillionaire?

[night heron]

profit is privatized but when the companies fail the losses are reimbursed with socialized money

the government is quite literally controlled by major corporations

[full fossil]

Not only that but every government employee is a product of socialism

[echo canopy]

Not that much anymore, micky mouse is going public domain

[full fossil]

*steamboat willie, Not the same thing

[fossil frost]

ive built a few FOSS projects, a few of them i made FOSS because... fuck it... but there are other projects of mine i released as FOSS, to get noticed.. .and... it works, the project got noticed, i got noticed

[night heron]

i agree that the portion of people who want to be good solely to be good is much smaller than the majority of people who are greedy

[fossil frost]

noope, it WAS going to do, but, capitalism extended the copyrights

[night heron]

but i dont think that means that humans by nature are greedy

[full fossil]

Self preservation does take priority naturally

[night heron]

given enough time hopefully people will figure it out and stop being barbaric animals

[echo canopy]

The point is they can’t extend the length of copyright anymore.

[night heron]

i think it's an inverse bell curve situation

[full fossil]

They can if they want to and have in the past

[fossil frost]

you underestimate the power of disney

[night heron]

before civilization we were likely much more accepting of others and willing to help eachother out

[full fossil]

Disney has lobbied for the copyright limitations to be extended twice

[night heron]

during the boom of capitalism we're gonna stay greedy until eventually maybe we will become empathetic again once we've built an advanced society

[full fossil]

We could fix food and housing so quickly in the usa, it makes me sad

[night heron]

(within our own community, i am aware there was a massive amount of tribal conflict)

[full fossil]

An insane amount of food is just thrown out because no one buys it

[fossil frost]

capitalism has about 100 years left in it, before the planet its self cant sustain it anymore, nevermind everything else

[night heron]

no no no itll trickle down eventually (/s)

[full fossil]

when will then be now

[night heron]

there's a very decent chance that society will collapse within our lifetimes, rather than in 100 years

we're coming up on another housing crash soon

the cost of housing cannot keep rising exponentially faster than wages

[echo canopy]

Side note, we in a lot counties and states have pretty good systems for the homeless or jobless. A lot of the people you see on the streets begging are panhandlers

[cosmic ore]

I put quotes around it because the lines of RISC/CISC are quite blurry nowadays. But even under more classical definitions, the microarchitecture falls under RISC, despite x86 being typically classified as CISC.

[full fossil]

A bad one
We’re legitimately approaching a critical mass of people not being able to afford anything and profits thus falling off a cliff

[fossil frost]

we are in a more long and drawn out financial crisis like that happened in 2008 right now... but governments were on the lookout for it this time and are trying to avoid it at all costs, but, its coming

[night heron]

so what happens when the majority of people cannot afford to live

[full fossil]

Oh I know most of the homelessness is hidden
Which makes me even more sad

[night heron]

because we're literally on the edge of that happening right now

[echo canopy]

Maybe “baseline” x86 is close to risc but no way in hell would I call modern extensions of it risc

[full fossil]

If people can’t buy, companies can’t sell, they can’t make money, they lay people off, people are even more poor, even less can buy than before, less is sold, more are laid off

The only solution to this is fix this infinite growth culture

[night heron]

wealth inequality will soon hit its sustainable cap

[echo canopy]

You want a resurgence of the middle class

[night heron]

i do yes

[full fossil]

Plus, infinite growth is possible anyway, that’s the idea of inflation

I want a resurgence of people being able to afford food, clothes, homes, and clean water

[echo canopy]

I remember when the uk pound was more valuable then the USD kekw

[night heron]

but if you even so much as suggest socializing healthcare, controlling housing pricing, or adjusting the tax bracket then half of the country will have a mental breakdown and call you a communist

[full fossil]

Yeah brexit was dumb as fuck for an island

[night heron]

because theyre brainwashed into doing so

[fossil frost]

when i was 15, i was contracting for a US based company, and was paid in USD... $200 was worth £90 then... now, $200 is worth about £170ish

[fossil frost]

brexit was weaponised racism... and a fucking stupid idea

[echo canopy]

The EU was a fucking mistake from the get go and fucked over all the smaller counties economy’s

[night heron]

england has little man syndrome

[echo canopy]

England didn’t want to deal with the fucking EU anymore and for good reason

[fossil frost]

yep, 51% of the country fell for the xenophobia and weaponised racism created by a few politicians that made an absolute fucking fortune from brexit

[full fossil]

How’s that working out for them
Seems real great so far /s

[fossil frost]

given that i live here, and can give an informed answer.... brexit was, and still is, a fucking stupid idea... everything about it was a lie, and was designed to make billions for 5 or 6 people... which it did, and then covid on top of that, helped them even more

[night heron]

sounds very similar to how politics go in america

people are conned by billionaires and brainwashed into hating eachother instead of the billionaires

[fossil frost]

the chief architect of brexit, immediately moved to the USA to help donald trump create trump-politics, and made EVEN MORE money from that

[dull granite]

so what is carbon fiber made out of exactly

[fossil frost]

fibers of carbon

[dull granite]

like is it pure chemical magic or you need some materials

[echo canopy]

It’s a specific structure of carbon molecules

[night heron]

literal woven fibers of carbon atoms

[fossil frost]

its carbon, created into a fibre, then that fibre is woven into ribbons, and then that ribbon is woven into sheets... and then you melt a bunch of plastic, and reinforce that plastic with the woven carbon ribbons... when it hardens, the plastic is much stronger than it ever would have been without the carbon reinforcements...

[night heron]

but yes it's a complicated process which is why it's expensive

[fossil frost]

think "reinforced concrete", where the concrete is plastic, and the steel is strands of carbon

[dull granite]

yes but i ask about material themselves

[night heron]

the material is in the name

[dull granite]

like probably not (just) coal

[fossil frost]

diamonds are "just" coal

[dull granite]

yes

[fossil frost]

you are "just" coal

[night heron]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

[dull granite]

i know

[night heron]

shh many people believe they're the chosen children of a divine being that lets them exist outside of the circle of life

rather than just being an intelligent multicellular carbon based organism

[echo canopy]

Fuck being carbon based, I wanna be aluminum based

[dull granite]

there are only two elements - hydrogen and helium

[night heron]

i wanna be made out of graphene

[dull granite]

rest are just made up

[night heron]

my quarks and gluons are cooler than yours

[fossil frost]

tbh, life is a miracle, just not a religious type of miracle... the fact that some star exploded billions of years ago, and some other stars crashed together billions of years ago... and a bunch of others did the same... all in a similar area... and then all that shit that fell out of those explosions/crashes, collapsed into another star, with enough shit left over to form a planet, and that planet had just the right type of materials, and formed in just the right place to allow the runaway chemical chain reaction that is life to actually happen.... thats a lot of stuff that just happened to happen in just the right way to get to you being here right now

[night heron]

it is yes

[echo canopy]

Statistical anomalies will occur given infinite space and time

[fossil frost]

hydrogen is the principal element, helium is formed from hydrogen-hydrogen fusion

[night heron]

factual on god creamsoda

[echo canopy]

IMO it was destined to happen

[dull granite]

i wish we came back to times where people thought radium was best thing ever and they ate it

[night heron]

isnt the current theory that the universe expands and eventually contracts on loop forever

so given an infinite amount of time we've had this exact conversation before

[fossil frost]

life existing on earth, if studied on a universe scale, wouldnt even show up as a rounding error, it wouldnt even be noticed in the data at all

[echo canopy]

The universe is actually speeding up its expansion and will probably result in the big rip or the big freeze

But it depends tm

[dull granite]

my theory is that there is shitton of parallel universes and each of them square in number when something moves

[echo canopy]

Making any wild claims tho are in jest as we don’t even know what holds galaxy’s together

[night heron]

well yeah we've only been truly intelligent for like a hundred years

we're literally peons absolutely nothing braindead idiots in the cosmic scale

we learn things that we didnt think were possible often

[fossil frost]

and in one of them, somewhere, i didnt slip with a knife today while opening a box, and stab myself in the meaty part of my hand below my thumb, right down to the bone

[night heron]

i was just talking to someone yesterday about how i dont know what that part is called

[dull granite]

please put trigger warnings on these next time

[fossil frost]

"the meaty bit" 😄

[night heron]

a theory my friend has is that eventually during the heat death when all that remains are black holes they will attract eachother and compress into one final black hole that will eventually explode, which is the big bang

[fossil frost]

ill put a trigger warning on the photo, but not the description

[dull granite]

why tho

sometimes a description can be more disturbing than a photo

[night heron]

his description was not graphic in my opinion

[fossil frost]

because its just words, if you are offended by words, or upset by words, dont be on the internet

[night heron]

he described what happened in probably the simplest and least graphic way he could, without emitting information

[dull granite]

right down the bone

[echo canopy]

It would only happen in localized pockets as majority of the universe is cut off from each other

[night heron]

how else could you phrase that without removing the context that it went down to his bone

[fossil frost]

one thing i did omit... it hurt like fuck

[night heron]

[vapid smelt]

Want to see a picture of my open stomach?

[mild current]

no

[dull granite]

this is very similar to "wow internet has a lot of assholes, i guess it allows me to be an asshole"

[dull granite]

fuck off

[fossil frost]

is that a euphemism for your anus?

[dull granite]

??

[night heron]

it was yes but in this context he didnt say something derogatory or offensive and use that reasoning as an excuse

[still yacht]

I want to speak english for develop english, Who is can speak with me
I am taking english lesson also I want to develop my english as an extra
Who is can help

[dull granite]

I guess yeah

[vapid smelt]

No a picture from 2009 of my real, really open stomach

[night heron]

how open?

[fossil frost]

gastric hernia? or something else?

[dull granite]

but still i think it's better to put a CW or TW than not put one
there are a lot of ppl and everyone is different

[vapid smelt]

Really fucked up appendix, from the bottom of my chest to my belt line I have a long cut

[vapid smelt]

You can see all my stomach muscles

[fossil frost]

ah, so the thing that is MORE terrible than a hernia in your stomach

[night heron]

how ripped is ur stomach? u swole?

[echo canopy]

IMO, don’t call it a trigger warning as that leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth… ||because of tumbler||. It’s just disgusting

[fossil frost]

with no skin? SUPER ripped

[vapid smelt]

Hell no

[dusty rune]

why do u have a picture of it though

[dull granite]

in "internet-noise" shitposter edgybois caverns it might not matter as much, but this one is pretty normal

[vapid smelt]

I got 5 hernias a few years after from it

[night heron]

ordinarily i would agree with you since all you're asking for is a heads up but his comment really was tame

[dull granite]

why would it leave a bad taste, also why tumbrl lmao

[mild current]

fucking strooth

[fossil frost]

mate of mine had 2 at the same time in different places, and... just... ignored them... and they sort of just went away... he cancelled operations on them 3 times to run a marathon instead

[fossil frost]

something i have just noticed... i dont need my glasses most of the time... but ive just put them on now, and i can now 100% see where the micro-dimming is happening on my monitors 😄 ... usually cant tell, but its so clear and obvious when i have them 😄

[echo canopy]

18+ content word

[dusty rune]

i think my eyesight worsened even more, i cant see the texts from like 1m away

[fossil frost]

yeah, but he really loves running marathons, and they were "not so bad that i cant do anything", so he just stopped paying attention to them

[night heron]

intentional backlight local dimming or are the leds in your monitor dying?

[fossil frost]

intentional

[mild current]

that's probably the reflection more then what the glasses were intended to do

[night heron]

oh neat what display do you use?

[dull granite]

Pop Corn shortened?

[echo canopy]

After tumbler banned it the communities infected other sites and created the modern web. It was a ces pool of a site.

[dull granite]

the modern web?

[fossil frost]

some LG ultragear 24", i forget the model, and i can only really tell when im typing, because of the white text on a black background

[dull granite]

ces pool of a site?

[fossil frost]

tumblr was the anus of the internet... sort of what fourchan is now

im pretty sure spelling it correctly, with the 4, is a banned word

[dull granite]

four chan always was lmao

[vapid smelt]

But 4chan is a single individual that is a pro hacker

[fossil frost]

tumblr was a toilet long before 4chan

[dusty rune]

isnt it tumblr

[dull granite]

it always sucked
It always was full of "bad people"

[night heron]

twitter is pretty disgusting too

[fossil frost]

i see you never experienced early days tumblr 🙂

[vapid smelt]

Humanity is disgusting

[echo canopy]

4chan did don’t fuck with cats and bullying Shia. Idk anything good tumbler did beside dashcon…. Oh wait

[dusty rune]

every site is disgusting. all depends on what side of the app youre on.

[fossil frost]

nothing compared to what the internet used to be... people think the internet is a toilet now... you didnt see it 20 years ago 🙂

[dull granite]

at least tumblr wasn't filled with a lot of ----fobias and --isms

[night heron]

yeah that's true you can find horrible videos on all platforms

[mild current]

tumblr is a wet dream for 4chan

[night heron]

the amount of.. content.. grows every day, i would argue it's worse now

they just do a better job of shoving it under the bed

[dull granite]

troublerml doesn't seem too bad nowadays tho

[fossil frost]

any individual piece of content today, is quite mild to any individual piece of content back then

[echo canopy]

||It was straight up pedo content and bullying children instead||

[dull granite]

oh

[mild current]

Maybe 4chan is ran by the FBI?

[dusty rune]

now thats reserved for the league community

[vapid smelt]

[night heron]

oh like twitter is today?

[echo canopy]

Most of thoes people came from tumbler after they banned 18+ content

[night heron]

such are the consequences of virtual anonymity

[dull granite]

i remember asking my mom when i was 8 what is a razor blade, and she decided to just google image it to show me and my sister and there were a lot of self||-harm photos of ppl cutting arms etc :P||

what was that

[fossil frost]

what the fuck... fucking warship doesnt like a new word

dick is fine, but the same thing described with a word starting with c isnt

[dull granite]

whst word was it

[dusty rune]

rooster i think

[echo canopy]

Try having a normal conversation without getting muted by warship any%

[night heron]

probably because the c word is usually used for more inappropriate contexts

[dull granite]

I love roosters?

[echo canopy]

Dick is a name

[fossil frost]

i said rooster and balls, a few times, and it didnt like it

[dull granite]

yeahh
just like cat's other name

[dull granite]

yea

[fossil frost]

self-delete

[night heron]

do you guys like avatar the last airbender?

[dull granite]

yes cuz it starts to turn into popcorn title

without sexist and often racism ofc

[dull granite]

yea I loved that movie

[fossil frost]

we need a new warship, that uses AI to assess toxicity and context

[dull granite]

the live action CGI one

[night heron]

i think warship is fine

i have 63,000 messages and ive only triggered warship 20 times

[echo canopy]

That’s even worse as it has no set rules. At least warships does even if it’s arbitrary. It’s also trivially easy to make a AI TO BYPASS that

[dull granite]

could be improved but yes

[night heron]

it's very simple in its filtering but i dont think it impedes conversation very often

[dull granite]

like uncensor queer words

OH shit they did it

[night heron]

what a queer thing to do

[echo canopy]

Anyways, don’t use “triggered” or “trigger warning” because people connect it to tumbler

[dull granite]

what?

[mild current]

I think it's ok for people to move on, warship is automatic, just wait until you aren't protected by the anonymity of the internet

[dull granite]

no I won stop lmao
don't care if it's connected

[jade snow]

Remember the great Tumblr scape, they are all Twitter users now

[echo canopy]

I don’t think michael believed me when I told him that lol

[night heron]

?

[jade snow]

Pandora's box was opened due to corporate greed

[echo canopy]

It wasn’t corporate greed||, they literally couldn’t keep pedos off the site||

Majority of their user base was there for artists that often did nsfw content. It was a last resort

[jade snow]

Whatever it was, they were thrown to the rest of the internet. Like a petrol tanker leaking... Well petrol

[night heron]

theyre all on twitter and discord now

[jade snow]

Tumblr should have taken one for the rest of the planet

[night heron]

honestly yeah i would argue it's worse now that they're spread across several different platforms

[jade snow]

And the problem with thats spread is that they multiply

Before it was just the Tumblr userbase. Now the entire world.

[night heron]

you should talk about something else now

[echo canopy]

Uh, windows sucks

[night heron]

yeah true but ill keep using it because it does what i want it to

[echo canopy]

Any news on Intels > 100 core cpu?

[next dove]

It seems some game developers forgot that build system can build --release versions of programs
Because I see no point why some games require x2-3 more space than os they are deploying on

[echo canopy]

—release (rust at least) does not effect asset size, only compiler optimizations/removes debugging things

Assets are huge because they don’t wanna use compression and duplicate them a lot

[next dove]

Oh, sorry, i forgot

[profile.release]
opt-level = 3
lto = true
strip = true 
codegen-units = 1

[echo canopy]

Compiler opts can actually make binary’s bigger if things like unrolling loops is common

[next dove]

k, I got it

I just hate the fact I have to reinstall my dualboot windows because 128 gb C: isn't enough

[echo canopy]

Just resize the NTFS partition?

[next dove]

wait, you can resize C:?

[echo canopy]

Pretty much every major file system can be resized

[full fossil]

Who tf said petrol tanker

We talking like for cars petrol

[echo canopy]

Also have you tried NTFS compression?

[next dove]

Well... It would be very useful information that Quicksilver from <t:1682715600:R> would like to know

[next dove]

Once on system drive, it was several years ago,
It didn't boot up

[echo canopy]

such a quality file system microsoft. It’s not like ZFS and BTRFS solved it years before

[next dove]

I decided to try btrfs on fedora and switched from arch

tbh see no difference between file systems, maybe it is a good thing

[echo canopy]

Arch supports btrfs as well, you could have just reinstalled. Drivers for it are in the Linux kernel

[next dove]

I wanted to try Fedora too, because it wouldn't be a good thing to suggest it to other people without trying it

Long story short: I like flatpacks and hate them with every body cell I have

[echo canopy]

BTRFS is a self healing file system and can fix bit rot ext4 wouldn’t. Also it supports compression like NTFS and ram cache

Wait compression is in ext4?

[next dove]

I had to install Jetbrains Toolbox and install Clion using it because Flatpak Clion apparently have no access to system's cargo and compiler

[low rain]

Ahdnw

[glass lantern]

F£&# think my GPU died, tried DDU but still no dice...

[elfin jetty]

Have you tried reseating it

Or making sure the cable is connected to the monitor and gpu

[glass lantern]

Will have to try a window reinstall but... Will try but the computer hasn't been moved or anything like that so I don't believe that will do anything.

[harsh quartz]

Tried it in a different computer?

[full fossil]

Anyone know what happened to that msi mascot statue they unboxed a while back?

[slim mirage]

good question i actually dont know hmm

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTUBwRSqht8 This vid

[vapid smelt]

@karmic flame would know

[full fossil]

I remember watching it live lol

[glass lantern]

Eh seems to be working for the moment.

Well pants a second after I posted that it seemed to be working for the moment it blue screened honestly I have had it for 5 years and I bought second hand so it's not surprising it's dying.

Will try reseating it tomorrow, but I don't have high hopes.

Also after that a clean install of Windows, then it's time to look for a new GPU honestly I might just buy a 6650XT, I don't really use the GPU any more nowadays and when I do what I had was pretty overkill for the games I play.

KSP, DSP, Stellaris, Cities Skylines are all CPU heavy or just not that demanding to begin with.

Is a shame to lose the 1080Ti though.

Although I do plan to play GTA 6 when it comes so I probably want a 6700xt at least and probably a 6800xt.

[heavy dust]

bro is talking to himself

[elfin jetty]

[glass lantern]

It's called thinking out loud.

[wheat karma]

Got the LG C2 42 inches. It’s amazing. Idk what made me think the Samsung Odyssey Ark would make a better experience

[strong knoll]

[elfin jetty]

though personally i've never had issues with newegg so

[plain dome]

Have you tried to updating the drivers before it’s able to crash

[strong knoll]

[slim mirage]

even if you could i think there would be a massive delay in it processing im not sure though

[heavy dust]

bro

[heavy dust]

[heavy dust]

[heavy dust]

[low rain]

bro i been getting redbulls and stuff from stores since i was like 12

[pliant karma]

There’s always an age limit for stuff.

[heavy dust]

water

[slim mirage]

caffeine addiction and I'm sure there was a rise in heart conditions since also just consuming caffeine at a young age can be harmful especially if its a high amount

[heavy dust]

13 year olds can literally buy vapes for 8 pounds what do u think a law is going to stop

[low rain]

i've been drinking energy drinks with like 300mg of caffeine since i was 12

[slim mirage]

that aint a good thing lmao

[low rain]

ik 😭

[heavy dust]

did it do anything

did he die i guess not

[low rain]

i dont think im dead

[heavy dust]

so it’s not a bad thing

[vapid smelt]

[slim mirage]

bruh

im just showing the reasons its banned for under 16s in uk i used to drink a lot of redbull when i was younger and it didnt really affect me as far as im aware but doesnt mean it cant

[heavy dust]

“Caffeine is bad for you-high blood pressure, high heart rate it’s horrible!” 🤓

uk gov is doing nothing

[jaunty compass]

At least he's honest about why

[jaunty compass]

"Caffeine is bad for you"
My 32oz coffee mug:

[heavy dust]

Helping the poor❌
Banning caffeine because “High blood pressure” ✅

[leaden gale]

Bruh people arguing about caffeine remind me of folks arguing about fucking cholesterol

Every couple of years, the balance of opinion shifts over this or that study

[heavy dust]

That’s nothing new

[jaunty compass]

I love caffeine

[heavy dust]

You mean carbohydrates

[elfin jetty]

me as i chug my monster

[jaunty compass]

Inject coffee into my eyeballs rn

[slim mirage]

aussie lemonade monster is nice

[leaden gale]

Nah, I meant what I said, though people argue a lot about carbs too

[distant wren]

Nah caffeine ain't bad, its more like what the hell is inside Energydrinks? 😄 except for caffeine?

[heavy dust]

Coffee is garbage

[elfin jetty]

yes

[leaden gale]

Skill issue

[distant wren]

The shit thats in energy drinks 😄 , its garbage in a can and people love it

[low rain]

would have been better if he lied

[heavy dust]

who cares

it’s not like i’m dying

[low rain]

ong

[heavy dust]

give him

[low rain]

hes 16

[distant wren]

I do, its just garbage and should be on the same line as 18+ with other alcoholic beverages, its just not good for a human development in general.

[heavy dust]

Same thing as 18

[low rain]

im not gonna give a 16 yr old money so he could buy weed 💀

[heavy dust]

it’s not like ur gonna stop him anyway

[distant wren]

we have an 14+ age limit for energydrinks 🤷‍♂️ in NL enforced by Lidl and Aldi.

[heavy dust]

well no shit it’s not good but what is the worst that could happen

[distant wren]

https://www.rivm.nl/publicaties/gebruik-en-risicos-van-energiedranken-bij-kinderen-en-jongeren-in-nederland#abstract_en well they did a research, this is the abstract of it.

[slim mirage]

alcoholic beverages is such a goofy phrase

[low rain]

i kinda am cause since im not giving him the money he cant buy it

[slim mirage]

hey buddy could you pass me over that alcoholic beverage

[heavy dust]

no one are gonna experience these effects

[heavy dust]

he’s gonna get it anyway

[low rain]

how if he doesnt have money 🤨

[distant wren]

Thats such a bullshit reasoning 😄 to just dismiss a whole research

[heavy dust]

Ok

[low rain]

bro zbd you sound so stupid rn 😭

[heavy dust]

gotta get the bread at ALL COSTS

[elfin jetty]

keks in having a job so i can buy my own shit

[distant wren]

68 people actually had toxic poisoning due to Energy drinks 🤔 as cause

[elfin jetty]

whered ya get those numbers

[heavy dust]

what is the chance that i will be one of those 68 people

[distant wren]

https://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/2018-0071.pdf page 23 of this research table 4.1 its a dutch research

surprisingly 0-12 years old should not drink energy drinks 🤔

[low rain]

Zdb honestly you sound very um

[heavy dust]

Normal

[low rain]

Let’s say uneducated so it don’t come out mean or wtv

[heavy dust]

i’m not uneducated

i simply don’t care

[elfin jetty]

ya like feeling tired all the time? keep drinking multiple a day and see what happens

[distant wren]

Yeah energy drinks are very bad for your health in the long run

[heavy dust]

if u happen to be the one out of 68 people to have toxic poisoning maybe it’s meant to be

[deft flame]

couldn't be more intuitive lol

[heavy dust]

i wouldn’t anyway they taste like ass

[distant wren]

Advice Nutrition center energy drinks
website dd. 4/13/20184
Because of the caffeine:
a maximum of one can per day for children >13 years and pregnant women
women and women who are breastfeeding. Children under thirteen
year is not recommended to drink this.
Further:
• Do not combine with alcohol.
• Do not combine with other caffeine-containing products.
• Do not drink before or during exercise: they are not a thirst quencher.
Therefore always drink enough water

[heavy dust]

249 died from airplane accidents in a year so i should never travel again 💯

[distant wren]

Love this part 😄 especially.

Because of the amount of energydrinks mixes that exist out there in combination with alochol.

[slim mirage]

Jägerbomb

[heavy dust]

literally any drink on existence probably tells u not to mix with alcohol

[elfin jetty]

hm, ive been using them as a thirst quencher while i do manual labor, i should probably be dead

[heavy dust]

they don’t exist

[distant wren]

are you an energy drink mix , with alcohol denier?

[heavy dust]

Yes

[jade snow]

A better advice is 0 per 100 years

[elfin jetty]

[distant wren]

Oh its also directly linked with the amount of people who drink it with education , basically the report says higher educated drink less energy drinks

[elfin jetty]

I'll bet you're antivaxx too with the way ya deny the facts

[heavy dust]

i’m not

ur guys think i deny it i just don’t care

[elfin jetty]

ehhh I'd say that one is probably less true

[heavy dust]

it never hurts to eat a chocolate bar, drink an energy drink or drink alcohol

[distant wren]

it ain't

[jade snow]

Kyle drinks momster, so that side of the spectrum is true

[heavy dust]

u guys overthink u simply boring

[elfin jetty]

ya sound like a caveman with all the u

[jade snow]

Drinking venom is not "cool"

[low rain]

“U simply boring”- the guy who told me to give a 16 yr old money so he could buy weed

[elfin jetty]

I drink monster, I know it aint great but it satiates my adhd

[distant wren]

https://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/2018-0071.pdf page 15. of this report, noting the years and the education where VMBO is lower educated / practical educated and VWO is higher educated.

[heavy dust]

i never said it’s cool

[slim mirage]

my opinion is the under 16 ban is decent to purchase energy drinks if parents want their children drinking energy drinks then they can buy them for them and its no issue but having a ban on it is a decent way to push people away from buying it especially since some people would just buy them for the flavours

[jade snow]

You said we are boring for not doing so

[heavy dust]

not what i mean

[low rain]

My parents only let me have them during testing weeks

[elfin jetty]

also arent pre workout mixes just a shit ton of caffeine?

[heavy dust]

i don’t even drink energy drinks but u guys once u see an energy drink “Oh no! This horrible for my cardiovascular health and my digestive system! Holy smokes!”

my point is u care too much

[jade snow]

You care too little

[distant wren]

Yes most are and not all are that good , and most of them are just bullshit, with allot of weird additives.
as usual, good food and sleep beats everything,.

[jade snow]

The best preworkout comes from colombia in submarines

[heavy dust]

i care but once in a week isn’t gonna kill u and give u skin cancer

[low rain]

So we should js not care about staying healthy?

[distant wren]

army stuff is potent , but healthy? 🤔 they used to give people literally drugs to stay fighting.

Stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines were widely used in both World Wars to increase alertness and suppress appetite.
source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_drugs_in_warfare#:~:text=Stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines,health care systems of militaries.

[heavy dust]

Yes if ur gonna act like that’s what i said

[jade snow]

That is exactly what you are saying

[heavy dust]

Ok then

[remote plover]

there is alot more to it then that. I already understand that much. (and the massive theoretical advantages of QD-OLED) but wanted to learn more about the underlying technology of OLED.

[vapid smelt]

The WW2 Germans used it allot

[remote plover]

The video actually explains stuff I thought was really interesting! I broke my Galaxy Note 3 back in 2014 or so by mistake and had a massive black spot of death that grew from the cracked area. And this section of the video explains why! https://youtu.be/qg8pMUd-tSk?t=1017

Turns out it is not the organic emission layer that is being destroyed, rather it is destruction of the cathode interface that causes an insulation region that blocks current from flowing.

There are multiple types of OLED technology, catigorized into polymer types and molecular types, so failure modes may be different depending on the type.

18 in 1 promotional offer

[jade snow]

Reminds me of the 13 in 1 shampoo

[heavy dust]

There is PURE-CASTILE LIQUID SOAP
Peppermint 18 in 1

Idk if u ever heard of it

[jade snow]

Ik that one but i don't like it as much, ill post in #off-topic

[harsh quartz]

Unironically I use a 5in1 shampoo

[jade snow]

Meanwhile other set of people have 13 different products

[vapid smelt]

I like the model that can be used as engine oil

[heavy dust]

i don’t even get it how it can be 3 in 1

it literally makes no sense

shampoo and conditioner at the same is literally impossible

[slim mirage]

facewash
bodywash
and shampoo in one is common

[heavy dust]

shampoo is the opposite of conditioner

[heavy dust]

that makes sense because it just all needs one ingredient to be considered body wash shooo or anything

it just has sulfates, even dish soap can be used as face wash body wash and shampooo

but conditioner is just crazy, it’s supposed to like provide moisture to the hair and shampoo does opposite

[harsh quartz]

Just bath in bleach

[spark wolf]

what benchmarking software do you guys use to check how well your games are preforming?

[plain dome]

I'm more of a fan of the one with tomato ketchup to be honest

[light jacinth]

I always wondered where all the stupid ass takes came from when people would send in comments during WAN show... Then I joined this server and it became all too clear

[graceful burrow]

Yeah it's fun

[heavy dust]

I think they actually do

People with aczema

[heavy dust]

Then ur one of them congrats

[jade snow]

The games..?

[distant wren]

by opening up the games itself? 🤔

[jade snow]

Or even better, by actually playing the games

[heavy dust]

Same thing

[jade snow]

Mfs spend weeks "fine tuning" their settings. And after that they claim they are bored of that game. Claiming they played it

[distant wren]

thats basically most RPG beginnings? playing 4 hours with the character maker? 😄 or Factorio with world creation? and spend forever picking out which mods to use.

[jade snow]

I meant the graphics settings, checking framerates and frametimes. But yeah i suppose installing 500 mods counts

[distant wren]

https://mods.factorio.com/ there is a reason we got a saying in factorio : "There is a mod for that" for almost anything you can think off

And if you cant think of it, somebody else already made it or is making it 🤷‍♂️

[jade snow]

I don't like micromanaging games. My cousin is always pestering me about total war, but it just doesn't tickle my pickle

Good evening!!

Infidels!

[full fossil]

Andrew was released from prison a few weeks ago and I did not hear about this lol

Anyway here is a recent weird tweet of his:

[heavy dust]

bro dou not have internet access

[spark wolf]

yeah. while i'm running a game, i want to see how well the game is running

[tardy terrace]

The man is so full of himself.

[heavy dust]

i don’t even know what this guy is preparing for

[full fossil]

I got the info from the law and crime network lol. I didn't see anything on the news

[heavy dust]

but let him cook i guess

[distant wren]

use nvidia overlay? or some other form of overlay? 🤷‍♂️

[fluid ridge]

what did they feed him in prison holy shit man is jacked

[spark wolf]

yeah

[tardy terrace]

andrew taint is is like alex jones trying to promote their stupid "workout supplement"

[heavy dust]

he always has been

[distant wren]

MSI Afterburner has na overlay ? 🤷‍♂️

[fluid ridge]

he was muscular before but he definitely was not that jacked lmao

[median idol]

It's Andrew Tate....

[harsh quartz]

Msi afterburner is a good frame counter and hardware usage tracker

[full fossil]

I don't use twitter so most of my info comes from youtube based news outlets like TLDR news

[distant wren]

Andrew Kate? The soap star?

[jade snow]

The Andrew guy is no different from any of the other Twitter extremists out there, hes just on the other side of the scale

[spark wolf]

alright

[tardy terrace]

all words, no action besides dressing up w/ a cigar in any video he's in and spouts some misogynistic bullshit

[harsh quartz]

Gotta learn about news through memes

[median idol]

I can't wait for that shithole (Twatter) to implode.

[vapid smelt]

Damnit wish he was in for good

[tardy terrace]

tate got shit on by thunburg and in his response he outed himself & got arrested in a foreign country

If this doesn't scream "I am a massive douchebag" I don't know what will

[full fossil]

Too be fair, you can't do a whole lot in prison.

[tardy terrace]

all the guy does is work out & boast about himself

[fluid ridge]

i dont like tate but they definitely had no proof to arrest the guy and held his ass for 3 months romanian "justice" system moment

[harsh quartz]

We have a guy in our class that talks about how much he idolized tate and that Tate did nothing wrong, he also calls himself an alpha male and said that Michael Jackson did nothing but make the world better

[heavy dust]

tbf he’s rich and ur not
