I don't get it, because the internet is alive and well. It's not the internets fault you keep going to the same 3 websites and hope it feels like it did when those websites were new and your parents didn't know what a subreddit was.The same niche underground feeling is everywhere, the same creativity exists with even better tools to do it with, the same insane schizobabble is always one click away. Treat the internet how we treated it in the 90s and early 2000s, just keep clicking random links in webrings until you stumble upon something cool as fuck; and most importantly be okay with the fact that it's not updated every 40 minutes for you to come back and scroll through perpetually.Start reading actual blogs again. Go through your bookmarks from 10 years ago and actually look at them. Check out BBS groups even if you never intend on sticking around. Read old blogs on topics you're interested in. Go search up online bookmarking sites like linkhut and just randomly start clicking shit people have bookmarked. Check out marginalia-search and find indieweb sites, hell you can even use the randomize feature and really give it a spin. Find diehard forums that still exist and have a small active userbase and start participating. All the social media you DO have, why don't you actually go search the sites of the people involved for the accounts you love? Half of them have one. Half of them have a team of people you can find easily. Go use the internet archive and just fucking search random terms and find things and then look up what those people are talking about in the modern age. See what their influences are, see what art they love and what music they listen to. Go find ARGs from the 2000s and look up any contact you can find that was affiliated with them, I guarantee you they're still making cool shit. The video was fine, but that feeling you long for still exists. There are infinite avenues for you to choose from. It just requires effort on your part.

Troonix, which is unix-like, can run steam. Notice that being unix-like doesn't mean that you can run steam. So saying "unix-like OSes runs steam" is not true. When it runs, it's not a merit of the "unix-like" concept.> Proof?It has a OOP-java async style in C. Which has led to ALL implementations having LPEs.

What happened to chatgpt? The only useful usecase I found for it was venting to get psychologycal support. I hadn't used it in the last few months but now it's dumb as fuck, it sounds exactly like Cleverbot. Is OpenAI gutting it for liability like when it stopped mentioning loli, or is it part of the life cycle of ML shit? I seriously can't believe the world's economy depends on something as unreliable as this.
>>107726355It's not. At least I don't see it as a solution if i'm gonna go overkill for a simple question, less if the results are the same as googling ' thing "reddit" '. Besides AI still can't think. The other day I described a tool I found as "20cm metal stick, one end shaped as a crowbar, other end has a notch between two tines". Best it could say was "hurr something used in electronics, woodworking or other specialty equipment". It doesn't reason, it doesn't analyze, it just mimicks.

>>107726268>>107726257The hurtful thing is that, it's effective because sometimes you need people who tell you you're indeed not crazy, that you're right sometimes and that the world is full of shit. Those people are called "good friends" and that's something society goes out of its way to not provide.Of course these examples are schizos, but if these schizos had any semblance of a supportive community, they wouldn't resort to the sycophantic echo chamber.

>>107727401Hahah yeah that's me! That frontend you saw from a while back was actually for Lem. I went from Raylib -> SDL3 in Lem, had to take a break from CL, then came back. cxxxr went with webview for Lem and I decided I'd rather not pollute the codebase with different frontends, so I started experimenting with my own thing and just kept going. Wasn't planning on taking it all the way but I thought others might find it fun to use or play with. Thanks for the kind words anon, happy new year!

Been looking for a Pixel 9 Pro. All the Pixel 9s for sale are either Folds or Pro XL's. No store has stock. The Pixel 10 pro is never discounted. Does this mean people a buying and holding onto their smaller 9 and 10 Pro models or are they not buying them at all?
Should I install GrapheneOS? Something else? I don't want jewgle to swat me for having chud memes on my phone.Galaxy A15 btw
>>107726713Does the Google store not ship to your country? Just wait for them to do their end-of-run clearance sale. Also if you're looking for a "small phone" it's probably going to disappoint you. The screen is "small" but the phone is still really bulky especially if you put a case on it. I have a Pixel 8 but just carry around my old S6 most of the time because I hate how heavy and bulky it is.
