That and conservatives abhor thinking. They need someone or something to defer to. And LLMs can give them all sorts of moderately intelligent bullshit they’ve come to expect . From their leaders and politicians. But better and faster. With possibly even less accuracy.

While I would love this personally. I think this is still a bit of a browser support issue Etc. But yes jpeg XL please. Smaller size for similar fidelity as JPEG. Even lossless with transparencies much better sizes than PNG. Though I know there is traction on the PNG side again and they are talking of implementing something other than lzma compression. That’s still the future. Jpeg XL is here and now. Not As tied as webp is to a single company Period and not quite as esoteric as avif is.

I’ve seen one Dunno about a large influx. But it didn’t last long.

They can’t. Not without my consent. And minors can’t not without their parents consent.

And if we’re all going to rail against things because they can have side effects. Viagra can cause heart attack and death. Boner pills kill y’all. We should outlaw Viagra or similar medications they’ll literally kill you. Puberty blockers and transitioning won’t do that. In fact generally the opposite.

I never said it was. There’s 100% side effects for every medication around. They generally don’t really impact most people however. And are often preferable to the condition they seek to solve.

And regardless I don’t think anyone should take someone implying that something is the work of demons seriously. Or give any weight to anything you say over scientists and doctors who consult with their patients. Who all say otherwise

Puberty blockers don’t do any sort of transition. They literally just block puberty. Which runs its course when the puberty blockers stop. There is no transition. But this is the thing with your type. You get indoctrinated with an concept and then imagine all sorts of crazy things to explain it.

At the very least fathered the internet we know today.

Not even that. It was because a disingenuous psychopath raised a big stink to the payment processors that Steam and itch rely on. As long as they want to process payments they unfortunately need the companies and have to appease them. The best thing we could do is raise a bigger opposite stink.

Too true

Seconded

Yep, luanti can do *Minecraft. And much much more. Luanti has the potential to become a platform more like roblox.

You aren’t disagreeing with anything I said. It’s all very asterisk-y. And if my personal preference/position is unclear. I run non proprietary *nix systems at a 7:1 ratio to proprietary. Precisely because of the better support. Come October that ratio is going to be getting even more lopsided.

Oh absolutely. You’re preaching to the choir here. Part of the reason I have a lot of hope around riscv. The processor designs themselves aren’t necessarily open source. But with the ISA being open and open source the first to embrace. It “could” foster a new much less proprietary ecosystem.

Proprietary “can” mean better support. But that’s asterisk heavy. Often that comes down to commercial hardware putting up road blocks to competitors. Or the open source solution being the product of a single developer in their spare time.

As others have said. Minecraft is the more known and established. Luanti is awesome though. It can do “Minecraft” and so much more. I’d say it really comes down to external factors.

Do your friends already play Minecraft. And if the don’t, are they going to have money to put towards it? In the end there’s nothing saying you can’t do both. I will say this though. Installing and running a dedicated server for Minecraft, bedrock at least. Was way harder than luanti. But if you aren’t planning on self hosting then you don’t have to worry about that.

I generally agree with hank

IKR? Shades of Ralph Wiggum.

If the most relevant way to describe someone is “influencer”. Then everyone influenced by them is a moron. They are just a mega moron. It’s a safety hazard any of these vehicles are allowed on the road. Let alone, driving autonomously with no actual intelligence on board.

Ozzy, Malcolm, and Chuck on the platform. Ready to ride the crazy train to heaven. Just waiting for them to clear the tracks of that meat head wrestler bulk. From the crossroads to hell. Gotta be able to get up to speed to go off thr rails with that crazy train.

Yep even if people don’t know his music. He was still a cultural icon on KOTH.
