  • Maybe not on the main channels I tend to watch on yt, but there’s one who I have pretty much completely stopped watching ( GrayStillPlays ) because I just wasn’t as interested anymore. I come back one day recently to check out a Universe Sandbox video he just posted that day and the second he started asking I think it was chatgpt something about a little laser pointer, IIRC, I immediately noped out of the video.

    I ain’t supporting him if he’s just gonna use an “AI” LLM to get the info he wants. I could at least, before LLMs became the big bubble they are, look past him just casually asking g••gle using the shitty voice assistant thing because it’s whatever, but can’t for “AI” LLMs.

    Well, for Lemmy, I jumped because of the r•dd•t 3rd party API fiasco. Haven’t looked back since.

    As for the Fediverse in general, I never really used mainstream social media ( yt not included that list in my opinion) besides r•dd•t. So, I figured I’d try Mastodon and it’s pretty alright.

    Also, don’t really know much about Matrix, so I don’t use it.






  • This is gonna sound like a pretty weird train of thought, but I cannot listen to that Pharrell Williams song “Happy” because I’m my brain has forever connected it to the time I had some bad pea salad from a local place, which completely ruined both of them for me. Every time I hear it, even in my own head, my stomach starts churning a little and I eventually start to feel like I wanna throw up. Thankfully that song has died and I hope to god nobody ever revives it.





  • At this point, trading card collecting and grading. Oh, a new series of trading cards for pokemon or yu-gi-oh or whatever dropped? Time for all the adults to buy out every single card in the store and then run home in hopes that their scam leaders like PSA will encourage their behavior by gracing them with a card they claim is worth money despite only being out for less than a week.

    Card grading ain’t nothing but a scam, cult, and great way to encourage the worst in people, while simultaneously gatekeeping trading cards from everyone with more than 2 braincells. Ain’t nothing gonna change my mind about it.







  • I could think of a few historic figures I would love to see be smothered in their cradle, but I think of it’s a one way trip, I’m going to get PDFs with just about everything I would ever need to know about programming in older versions of various languages, burn them to CDs, then return to the early 90s.

    My hope would be, assuming I could take the CDs with me, that I could spend time becoming someone known specifically for making good quality software that helps people. Then when people on windows get attached to that software, pull the rig by saying that, maybe around the late 2000s, all my software will now be only available on Linux. I’d hope to create such high quality software, with the help of any other lunatics I could find, that nobody else can compete. A sort of VLC is the best, or at the very least probably the most used, video player around the world sort of software. Get entrenched and then force a shakeup.

    Bonus points on me bringing proof I’m from the future, if I could, to ensure I could get people to believe me. Something like my soft modded 3DS. Also, bonus points if I bring CDs with PDFs for future versions of things like Python and other languages and such so we could stay ahead of the curb.

    Some real techno elitist type stuff if I had to say so myself.
