Welcome to the 4Chan /g usenet group Thread!>What is /usenet/?Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on(http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). TNot owned by corpos, not undergovt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection.They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyedby all.Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http,usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards . Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol:NNTP, aka usenet.Comment too long.

>>106871126True, it's going on well!>>106871281And it's also self cleansing by filtering out idiots>>106871600In F1 Motorsport groups they have posts for every race and for news

People keep bringing up age-ism, and I qualitfy as old, so I feel compelled to chime in. In being introduced to Usenet here for the first time, I have been thinking how: I actually don't want to talk in an echo chamber of like-minded old-fogie peers. I like being surprised and challenged by new perspectives, it keeps the mind sharp. I personally don't get really worked up over mole hills which others seem to make into mountains. To me, being exposed to new things is more valuable than being put off by minor differences. Usually if somebody isn't solely a smartphone drone, and are cool enough to use something like IRC or usenet etc, they are already a cool person. The rest are naturally filtered, as has been noted, and will just keep squeaking into their preschool toy walled garden echo chambers.
Look what OpenAI has done to ChatGPT? It's become an oppressive Orwellian dictatorship that prevents ChatGPT from reaching its full potential.It won't create characters that commit violence or stories with violence, it says its because it could harm someone. How do stories with violence harm someone in real life?But not only that, it won't even allow antagonistic stuff like characters getting captured or anything like that or slavery even though these are real things that happen in our world. It's basically like a dictatorship where your not allowed to talk about unpleasant things.These filters are annoying. Are there any gold alternatives to ChatGPT? Something that has the same features as ChatGPT but without the filters? I've used GrokAI but texting on there is so slow and you can't edit your responses or go back and what not.
>>106870845>Something that has the same features as ChatGPTso, an AI that constantly hallucinates and shits out the wrong answers 98% of the time but this time without a filter? Use case?
wait 2 years for more alternatives
>>106870881There are no limitations, it is intentionally handicapped.
>>106872252What the fuck? I just wanted to be not bald why do the side effects include being a nu-woman.
>>106873169Because it's testosterone that causes male pattern baldness dumbfuck.You can try finasteride as a topical cream anyway, heard mixed results but it'll only impact your scalp not fry your balls.

Confess your sins.
The only "grown up" jobs I've ever held have been as a radioman in the navy (I'm a 10 year vet!) and more recently I landed something at one of the big MIC companies.What I've heard about "real" jobs terrifies me and even now having a job at a big company, really, I've never worked a normal job ever and have no fucking clue how I'd get by if I had to get a real job for a proper adult. The last time I had a "real job" it was washing dishes at a local cafe.
Actually,>posted in another thread "i've never fired a rocket launcher" as a joke>had to consider seriously for a moment if that's something that could impact the future of my career that's just me being stupid though, I'm childish because I've never held a real job, but at the same time, I do have to think once in a while "I know vaguely how a rocket launcher works, but not how to fire one safely myself" and how to fire one properly might enter a planning document I write one day about some piece of retarded equipment I wanna procure or modify, and that feels bad. It feels weird, and childish, and as proud of myself I am for getting by this long, it leaves me a big pang of guilt that my job is so stupid and not relatable to the real worldlike, a month or so ago, I was rigging up a duty belt and extra rigging for all the crap I have to carry in a boat, just for myself, but with the thought that maybe I could monetize that. Then I thought "Who the fuck needs a specialized tacvest for being in a boat? Even I'm only there like once a month, and only carry all of this crap because of other failures in myself and in the system that puts me there." And on top of that, I can't wear armor with an auto-inflating life vest, but that's a whole other series of problems that never come up yet seem ever-present.
I posture as a hard motherfucker but really I'm a big softieit's cliche, but it's a cliche for a reason
>>106860186I write code like YandereDev
Like 10 years ago I was on my way to becoming a awesome programmer, learned most of C++ and was making my own 2d engines and stuff on my cheap thinkpad. Then I thought I should make a gaymen rig so I could use like 3d engines and stuff..That was my downfall, I ended just playing games all day and forgot most of what I learned and never programmed again (for the most part)I can still program I just dont remember most of the shit.Anyways, dont play video games anons, just make them

>>106872810personally not a fan of the lancool 216 because 160mm fans are ass to find replacements for but otherwise fine
>>106872810absolutely fine overallif im being picky there HAS to be a reason for the sapphire pulse to have been the cheapest 9070xt ever since the release, maybe check some model comparisons and see if there are better options that arent much more expensiveyou can probably pick a cheaper set of ram, mobo and hard drive and never notice the differenceyou CURRENTLY dont need the 850w psu if a 750 psu is available at a better/much better pricethe case is up to debate, i personally find the montech air 903 to be simply perfect for those budget conscious builds and is probably slightly cheaper, but i understand cases are also about looksAgain, its perfectly fine if you rather click buy, just worth to give those points a check up, just in caseI have no idea what the pic says, i literally googled finnish memes and picked the first image
>>106872840you can adjust the mounting bracket to use 120/140mm fans though
>>106872722>are usually based on resolution with a minimum somewhere around an arms lengthYou could just use math https://phrogz.net/tmp/ScreenDensityCalculator.html
>>106873105yes I used a calculator to get those numbersnot sure what your point is

I can't take it anymore guys, tell me it's gonna be alright
>>106872477i mean i am pretty sure they fucking updated it with the wrong version of yotube.js, there is a new one from yesterday, so the fix would just be recompiling it with the good one
>>106872424>>106872477The AUR version works fine at least. I might just not be ip banned yet.
>>106872371>it works again
>>106872561how the hell is only working on some compilation targets but not all of them?
>>106872934Honestly Im not sure. Just checked the flatpak vesion and it works fine aswell, so I cant imagine it will take long for every new build to be working properly

RGB is something you really want with your first pc/build but its fucking dogshit in reality.you dont want rgb bro, you want performance
>>106870840This tell us nothing.You are a retard.You got ripped of at birth.
>>106873029just going off userbenchmark, so might not be super accurate. 5x is what i would consider "night and day". another thing to consider is that the 550 is a 2G card, which these days limits what you can run at all, even before core performance. it wasn't a gaming card when it was new and it's not new, eitheri have two gpus in my machine and the second one is an rx580, it was usable last time i used it, but it's an 8G card and still 2.5x faster than a 550 (userbenchmark). you could surely run some lighter games with things like texture quality turned right down, but it's not something i would expect from a $400 computer, and especially not one claiming to be for "gaming"
Will you buying the new Cosmic Orange S26U, /g/?
>>106871708I use a carbon fibre armored case on my S24 ultra. The UAG premium cases are invincible. My phone has survived a fall from an 8 foot ladder unscathed due to those crazy corner bumpers. Why do people care what the back of the phone looks like if any sensible person covers it? Only apple users care about pretty and exposed phones because they are 13 year old girls or closeted homosexuals, and they all have cracked screens within 6 months. The east indian man at the phone repair store in the mall loves apple users for this reason.
>>106872427>yeah ive never had sex, how did you know?
>>106872526I havent been fucked by men like you have, as I am not an apple user. You must have amazingly smooth hands to enjoy that sleek naked aluminum phone body. I am a contractor and use my phone camera dozens of times a day to log deficiencies from my subcontractors and other shit. Mining, power plants, lift stations. But even people who dont need a durable case benefit from one with normal day to day wear and tear.

>>106871818how do you feel about the HD660S2 vs 490 PRO? Considering buying one of them. To me the biggest weakness of the 600/650 is the imaging, so I'm curious if the S2's are markedly better
>>106872328>>106872328>>the poorfag copers at r/headphones who think anything above $500 is snake oilRight? It's insane to me. So many people think all you need is a pair of HD560s which cost 150 or 200 bucks and slap on a Harman EQ preset (made by the likes of Oratory et al) and along with a $100 chinese SMSL DAC/Amp that Amir from ASR said it's completely transparent and high SINAD, they've achieved hifi endgame. Everything else is either worse or snake oil. For them, detail doesn't exist, stage doesn't exist, transient speed doesn't exist, transducer types don't matter...

Is this the best desktop GUI in the history of desktop GUIs?

GNOME is the best and you barely have to touch it besides installing like two plugins for desktop usage I understand wanting KDE though
