Tbf statistical calculations put grooming on discord in the higher percentages unfortunately.

That said I don’t get what their endgame is. Blanket ID verifications will clearly eat into their bottom line, making it unsustainable. Either there’s some limits on it that I’m not aware of or they just budget in a huge decrease in margins.

I just don’t get the logic of “we do it to fight grooming”, because it just doesn’t make sense timing wise, but “we do it because UK and Australia are making us do it anyway” also doesn’t pan out because I just cannot imagine the predicted results look manageable.

The results are kinda obvious regardless. Losing their core audience and subsequently twisting their bottom line, just like Facebook.

That’s fucked

My life is on there, and I ain’t gonna give them any ID. Wth do they expect me to do

What is your life’s purpose?

I used to ask friends about it because I was in a bad spot. I got “to have fun” “nothing” and “I’m depressed, so I’m looking for one”. There’s no right or wrong, but it can be incredibly helpful to motivate you day-to-day actions if you feel stuck not knowing what to do.

Mine is “to be helpful to other people”. I wanna leave the world knowing I armed the right people with tools to make major positive change. So a lot of my time I dedicate to technical tasks that my friends need help with, and it gives me meaning.

Some can be selfish, some less impactful and some nonsensical. But I think especially people who can’t get out of bed are the ones potentially having the biggest positive influence on the world, and so these people need a reason. And then if you do a small thing every day, you’ll feel like you’re on track, and that feeling is important.

Sry for the rambling but I have thought about this topic a lot ^^’

So you want that community to change because you don’t like it.

It looks everyone else is fine with it. So you got two options: block it on your end, and / or make your own the way you want.

I understand this is not what you expected, but just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it needs to change just for you.

Btw there’s a reason that people don’t like to hear often: we do not have reddit numbers, and therefore if you do not allow reposts from reddit, a lot of communities would be basically dead.

Maybe too many eggs in one basket

You know what? Actually yes. This looks awesome.

• people don’t like him in a few movies, including the joker
• he has at least 9 public sexual misconduct allegations against him, including costars alluding to some additional misconduct
• his fans treat him like a cult leader and he leans into it, adding to the “creepy narcissist vibe” for many people
• he is an intense method actor, going so far as to send used condoms and dead rats to production companies and costars during the filming phase

That’s the jist of it, but for me there’s some additional things, like seeing some of the tiktoks he did he is just missing the mark for me. To me he comes off as inauthentic in minor ways, leading him down the uncanny valley.

I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.

I use AI quite a bit for when I have to deal with something again that doesn’t have a simple documentation or stack overflow / reddit thread, and I know all too well I will never need agentic anything.

The one most useful AI for coding is supermaven, which is literally just auto complete plus but it doesn’t just do things, it works like any other tab completion.

Pretty sure no software dev at windows has ever really given these things a proper workout and still found them essential. Windows is really out here advertising Linux.

Good game, worth the cream.

I tried but there’s so many things that I need to be able to turn from bad to good in just a few clicks, and that’s basically irreplaceable for me rn.

I tried reaper and even if I learned it more thoroughly it would still result in 3x the time on every single process in song production, mix & master and that’s unacceptable for me.

Heard a lot about bitwig and that would probably be my preferred alternative but that unfortunately still leaves the issue of third party Plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this properly for quite a while now but I have yet to find a way to do this that’s sustainable long term.

Not trying to talk down your suggestions because I genuinely think they could work for others, just adding more information to why that’s unfortunately not enough for me to switch completely.

Btw for my servers and backup notebooks I already use lots of Linux. Anything not main driver kinda works perfectly with Linux and most of all it keeps on working when I need it. In fact I suspect my hardware will give in before the os and or software will pose any issues.

Honestly right now there’s no way to use 90% of the industry standard audio plugins and most popular DAWs on Linux. FL Studio and Ableton do work on Linux but very unstable and as long as they’re not stable you can kinda skip the latency talk, because stability is quintessential. You are bound to native plugins and as long as alternatives are way harder to use and take longer to learn configure, there’s a massive overhead, not even talking about the ones that genuinely do not work even with wine and or winetricks, bottle, etc…

The same goes for video and photo editing as well as post effects. Although I have to admit you genuinely have more options and some setups even though not much more stable to technically work already.

Games are also annoying but I just don’t play valorant or battlefield 6 or any other games that are kind of incompatible by design, so if that was the only thing I could manage.

And lastly (but everyone knows), office compatibility is still an issue because sometimes I need to do something in Microsoft office to ensure it still works when I send it over.

Honestly the real deal breaker for me is the first paragraph. I currently mix & master a band and produce music by myself, with friends and do small audio jobs for other people. Gimme an environment I don’t have to pour another decade into and I’ll switch. In it’s current state I will not place a bet that if I give it my all things will still work when I need them to and that’s the bare minimum.

I have to say one thing though: you have every right to be pissed that this is what your tuition money is used for.

But that’s kind of a different conversations and generally a lot of the things your university uses your tuition on are very debatable.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Nothing outlined makes me think this is particularly pro AI. This is more of a reaction to it. Making people understand AI better is a good idea. Providing an AI platform on premise so as to not transmit all of the conversations directly to open ai servers is also a very good idea.

Whether you wanna decide to use it or not is up to you, but all of these things are a) optional and b) they sound quite sensible to me.

I tried Deezer and tidal for a month each. They were both alright, however their offline download for bigger playlists straight up sucked, so that took some sanity out of me and I had to switch back to Spotify ultimately.

Please keep this in mind if you ever consider switching.

Roblox is so fucked up, this would at least be “some” hurdle. It’s the worst way to go about it, but at this point it’s better than nothing. I just hope this will not become standard. You know, for privacy reasons.

I mean it depends on what you wanna do.

Of course if you goal is to make money, drawing comics might be a very tedious way, but if you do it for fun (which I assume) then just do it.

As some people here have mentioned there might be better ways to go about your creation process regarding language, but make it fun first, and then you’ll gladly adapt to make it digestible (at least in my experience).

I can imagine the Tor address used to be legit but now after banning vpns they banned onion addresses too completely forgetting that their own onion url exists.

So there’s a reason, but then again not even realizing it still exists is exceptionally sloppy and ambiguous.

Disagree. The short term solution is for you to change your prompt but it is definitely a short-coming of the AI when the answer is strictly useless.

It’s like crime: it should be safe everywhere anytime because of police and laws, but since it’s not, you can’t go everywhere anytime. That’s not on you, but you have to deal with it.
