It's so over... I hope you guys manage to escape the Russian/Chinese path to total Internet isolation and deanonymization. Trust me, it's horrible, we're living through it.

I recently tried out #MeshCore because I thought it would be cool to try across town, not having much hope about coverage. The first thing I see on the tiny device before even connecting it to my phone is people speaking another language from across the border. I love it already.
You retards fail to understand the Internet is an open platform. Putting age verification on VPNs serves nothing but a way to surveil and catalogue individuals who use these services to bypass your shit blocks. You don't give a fuck about kids or else you would focus on the parents handing devices to their kids with no oversignt.
People should bypass this by using no ID services like Mullvad so they never have to provide a piece of ID to even make an account. People should also consider using OSS platforms like Signal to bypass your attacks on encryption as well.
Fuck you and fuck the draconian world you want to build.
Can Windows 11 stop killing my sound card? I thought Linux is supposed to mess your audio up, but I only have problems when I boot into my Windows installation. I'm so glad I switched my workflow to the penguin ages ago, otherwise this would piss me off even more.

You are telling me they reinvented Wingdings and gave it a language? Yeah that tickles my 'tism just right, sign me up!
Whether or not people blame AI for the layoffs... one thing is certain. You can always blame Epic for being a trash company.
Fuck Fortnite! Spend some time in Unreal Tournament 2004 instead. It's received an update that revitalized it for modern systems and is free to play and download!
The most annoying trend on social media is quoting a random post with:
"Let me explain why it matters"
[adds no new info]
[just repeats shit by stretching out the original]
[ends statement with "it's not X, it's Y"]

If you live outside of the US, ask yourself the following: Could you still text your friends if you lose access to US tech/services? (trade wars, sanctions, damaged undersea cables etc.)
If your answer is "No.", you need to look for alternatives ASAP!
For all the people currently looking into switching to Discord alternatives: Do yourself a favor and make sure your new app is or will be open-source and decentralized/federated. If not, you will just jump from one walled garden into the next until the next drama goes down.
The Internet is going to shit atm it's crazy. The sad part is that people will eat it up as they can't be bothered to look for alternatives, let alone to push back a little. Companies and governments know that they get away with anything as long as you can entertain the masses.
βΌοΈNVIDIA allegedly contacted Anna's Archive directly for access to ~500 terabytes of "pirated" books and papers for pre-training their LLMs
After being warned by Annaβs Archive of the illegal nature of their collections, NVIDIA management gave "the green light" to proceed with the piracy for LLM training, according to internal docs.
I don't do monthly subscriptions and I won't let random corpos force me down that path. I pay my phone bill and other generic stuff, you won't catch me feeding into this SaaS bullshit. If I pay for something, I better own it or have permanent access to it.
-be Tech Corporations
-grabs up all the ram for Ai
-leave consumers in the dust with extreme price inflation and shortages
-many consumers are price-walled off med-high end Hardware
-Corporations like Nvidia "saves the day" by selling you Geforce now, play games on their servers without a beefy PC...for a "reasonable monthly fee"
-Arbitrarily places limits on how long you can play games on their service.
-So that you have to pay extra on top of your subscription to "increase the limit"
Another certified "you will own nothing and you will be happy" this time courtesy of Nvidia.
And of course, I am expecting a high likelihood that Ai Bruhs will jump into this post to try and say its not a problem.
