how was 2004 internet, before facebook and youtube? how different was society? were people less lonely and did you live through it?
>>106540185>so you're saying pretty much geeks used them.now yes but back then no, it was the same people you would find in a normie discord server. girls use them, women use them, kids use them, old people use them. variety. the only real difference was that the forum was superior for a community because of the better features. better community management software means better content (reward effort posting, allow long form back and forth communication, long lasting targeted threads)discord has just been coping trying to add these features but the userbase is retarded at the root and they've made them that way, not themselves but they encourage it. also the best feature was the public indexing aspect of the content, so randoms can find your community and join in the first place from search engines.
>>106539896>do you think all those things were used by normal people as well?nope, normies were either watching tv or using messenger/fotolog. maybe habbo hotel or some shit.. but since smartphones were non existent and they didn't really know how to use wap, they used it for a limited time then went back to their normal outside lives.Grandmas, moms and boomers in general were watching tv instead of being brainwhased in facebook or making dumb tiktok videos, the modern world is crazy if you think about it. I never imagined my grandma drooling at a phone, but here we are.>would they have the same number of users? A big popular forum around that time would be something like a busy thread in a busy board here, most popular ones I knew were software sharing websites. Normal forums were small, but with fresh blood since google was actually useful to find them.
>>106540224>it was the same people you would find in a normie discord server. girls use them, women use them, kids use them, old people use them. variety.lurking the "non commercial" internet for something like two years made me realize how everyone is literally a 40+ year old geek. unix forums, cooking forums, movie forums, game forums, sdf.org. nothing against that but it's getting tiring.i made this thread just as a way to rent about the fact that as a 20 something year old that does not use any kind of spyware like discord i will just be forever alone. i guess i was right then and someday i'll just be forced to keep my paranoia at bay and install windows + discord if i don't want to kill myself out of loneliness at 30. i just wish i was born in the 90s or something.i guess honesty is a rare thing in this website, but there you go.
>>106540286yeah i getcha, you can just make your own thing. you have to be pragmatic about it though.like, use every social media you can for whats it for, not socializing, posting shit. youre not going to get good traffic to your thing because those social media websites dont want to encourage traffic leaving their platform.but you will inevitably, catch the interest of similar people, people who you want to know, and they will find you, and take the effort to go through using whatever you made
>>106539470It was great, you could meet people from forums, or IRC irl without very little chance that they'd be insane and/or arseholes. No way I'd do that shit these days.

>>106540696Show me a non-schizo example of maps in bash
>>106540648>oh wowyeah, just feels like they want to prove they can do "everything but better" it really is a totally different tool.you could argue they want to fully replace the userland utils.in fact, i think that is their goal. to be able to ship with some future kernel as part of a future operating system.>You don't need associative arrays to look for a file in your documents foldercorrect but as a bloat trade off, i dont have floating point support.
>>106540648i don't use nu myself. but they actually have an ergonomic solution for unshadowing, which is just prefixing a command with '^'. with other shells, you have to provide the full path or use "command" if i'm not mistaken. and bash's `which` doesn't even recognize builtins, a problem nu (or zsh for that matter) doesn't have.the alternative tools are provided for native "table" support, or whatever they call it.

>30% of Microsoft code is written by AI>"I'd say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,">Google CEO Sundar Pichai in October said that more than 25% of new code was written by AI. Earlier this month, Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke told employees that they will have to prove AI cannot do a job before asking for more headcount. Similarly, Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn on Monday announced in a memo that the language-teaching company will gradually turn to AI in lieu of human contractors. Is this true?

It's going to be very funny in a few years when they rewrite the windows kernel with AI and none of the ancient boomers who actually understood a fraction of it are around to bail them out.
>>106537090At least the zoomers will stop becoming programmers and/or AI rot their brain so much that they're useless and never learned their craft. Well possible that the old man they laughed at will save their lives with a single bash command!
It has been a while since I last saw a fastman thread, has /g/ gotten too slow?
I still don't understand what fastman is.My guess is that he would be a hacker for work but also live off grid with minimal possessions.The problem with that is that he hacking benefits from computer power, reliable electricity and internet.

>>106540428>so what you think is a bot reply could just be a 70 iq third worlder.More often than not, I would rather read what a bot says. If you've ever (god forbid) read the comments on any social media platform, you'd understand that the average IQ is <80. People respond to videos as if they were directed specifically at them. They ask retarded questions that can be easily googled, or were already answered. What bots do is try to follow an algorithm to be "funny" or just leave a nothingburger reply. The thirdies have genuinely made by internet experience horrible. I'm genuinely considering making a script to look for anyone who can't punctuate correctly and remove it. For instance, sometimes people do "Hello , My Name Is Jeet And Today I Will Be You'Re Agent Of Support ." It's like they have no idea where to put the comma or that not every word in a sentence is capitalized.

>has only 1 camera>3 hours less battery life than the base iPhone 17 and 10 hours less than the pro>costs 200 more than base iPhone 17 and is only 100 less than the iPhone 17 proWhat is even the point of this? Why would someone not just spend an extra 100 to get the pro or save 200 by buying the base and get 2 cameras and more battery?
>>106539864>What is even the point of this?its probably for the "european" market, probably the best way they can think of implementing a self destruct feature against "reuse"
