"hey"

"hi"

"so what do you think is our place in the universe"

By leaving the game open when they go to sleep. Come on, anon, you know this.

yeah, sorry about the jaggies, the top one originally had a black background which i bucket-tooled out, and you know how the bucket tool is with jpegs. :/

that's true. however, you're gonna have a tough time finding something to run on there that isn't worse than discord by any reasonable metric.

like, buddy, i get it. i also selfhost. but let's not lie to ourselves. google drive is LIGHTYEARS ahead of collabora, matrix is a buggy mess, jellyfin -- okay, well jellyfin is actually unironically better than netflix, but that's assuming you have the technical chops to run a seedbox and the money to bulid a sufficiently beefy transcoding server (either that or put up with external video players, excessive bandwidth usage, and in some cases stuttering bc of software decoding), and you can either overlook the moral issues or buy everything on blu-ray, and ChatGPT and friends might suck total ass but they can still run circles around anything you can load into ollama.

this is also ignoring the fact that you would need the technical know-how to self-host, which as techies we tend to underestimate. is docker easy for us? yes. is it easy for joe random who may or may not have ever intentionally opened his browser devtools? no. plus there's still configuration files to think of. but even if you're using one of those easy vps services that does all that for you, you're still selfhosting a freaking chat platform. assuming you want to talk to anyone who isn't an LLM, you're going to have to either convince them to join your chat platform and then do moderation, or federate, in which case, what can you get from a single user instance that you can't get by joining someone else's instance and saving yourself a LOT of hassle?

Enables reproducible builds years later

If I had a dollar for every flake I've pulled from Github that didn't build because of link rot, and $10 for every nixpkgs package that didn't build because one of its dependencies had broken and it hadn't been updated, I could afford to contribute to Nix full time

I actually did not know that! That's so nifty!

for those unaware, this is made by Reddit's /u/ObviousPlant (you can see his logo in the bottom right). nothing he makes is real

Hi!

Sorry for taking a year to respond, but I figured better late than never.

Do you have a Matrix account? I'd like to chat more.

I don’t think a state should kill anyone for sake of retribution

That's funny. Just a couple replies ago you were actively advocating for murder. Is it only bad when the state does it?

oh boy the mogais are back

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Apologies. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. Summary execution, I now realize, is never acceptable. If Hitler hadn't killed himself, he would have deserved life in supermax, not the electric chair. Deliberately ending a life is simply inhumane.
