Consider reviewing https://trash-guides.info/ which helps pickup best releases, and yeah review/consider your trackers, some are horrible for zero quality cobtrol

TY for the post, been keeping a eye out for open reg so I don’t need to accept invite (personal pref to prefer to wait and recruit/open reg in) I’ll get FNP added to my cross-seed setup so I can start getting my brr on

Webrings are back baby

Yeah this is bookmarked now

There is no middle class anymore, there’s only have and have nots. And I don’t believe it’s 100% property market at all - it’s the upper echelon rich funneling money from all working class into their pockets.

Eat the rich.

Its 100% free with a totally optional donation. Appreciate there’s been a lot of concern about their partnering with FUTO, but I checked heavily into it and I’m comfortable there won’t be a rug pull.

Bazzite is an excellent spin on Fedora Atomic, gaming ready. It will usually get mentioned over plain Fedora

The killing fields and ‘interrogation centers’ were a chilling tour when I went.

I’m thrilled were still making games like this.

Ugh I mean I know we have block and are encouraged to do it, but there’s only so much I feel like doing. I’m at a point of nearly instant banning any community that sounds copy/paste from reddit

Not convinced the masses will go back, they will keep flocking to whatever’s hyped and new. Many countries only know web2.0 as the internet and never experienced the wild west, their world is Facebook and whatsapp

Starting to feel like reddit and its low effort crap is starting to make its way here too

I despise the centralized web and actively avoid it. Theres still plenty of WEB1.0 oit there, its just gettibg harder to find as years go on. But there are some things I don’t want to go back to, gore and other shock stuff comes to mind.

Posting on forums and finding random websites, GeoCities, tripod, chatting on IRC… These were the days.

I wish I’d never stopped using IRC for chat tbh

This one’s gonna get pitchforky.

Dont think this is an unpopular opinion. I can happily play most any game made in the last 15 years and be pretty happy, and if the OG game was pretty plain there’s always modders (like, morrowind/system shockn2 or freespace mods make a huge difference for that age of game) I was just watching GDQ today and surprised by well some games over a decade old just look… Perfectly fine. I find myself Turing rtx on and off a bit to figure out what difference it’s actually making - i believe rtx is a bigger win forndev workload than the quality increase for gamers. (Don’t get me wrong, full glass/water/puddke reflections are incredible, but it’s a lot of $$$ for the visual jump)

Time for Ea-nāṣir to shine!

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

My hardcore windows only friend is discussing joining me on Bazzite really seriously. If it gets him, it will get a few tech savvy but windlass only people.

Still a long way off non-tech people though

We create tech these days to extract maximum value from the populace, not so much to make lives better

Not at all, there are valid uses for LLMs and I take this community with a gain of salt. I think a lot of us passionately hate the hype narrative and useless uses for the tech, but it doesn’t mean that every single use of it is inherently bad.

The biggest thing if worry about might be the risk of it giving/outputting misleading information if it’s easy for you to sense check it.
