I’ve felt that the popular subreddits were on a decline ever since Reddit was featured in so many YouTube slop videos, but with time the effect of identity loss is becoming increasingly obvious. The crowd on there is not what it used to be. Gone is the desire for accurate information, meaningful comments, sources, and giving credit. Reddit is no longer a niche product but a mainstream one that my parents and “normie” friends know and it reflects in the lower quality content and user participation.

I have a bad habit of jumping into programming without a solid plan which results in lots of rewrites and wasted time. Funnily enough, describing to an AI how I want the code to work forces me to lay out a basic plan and get my thoughts in order which helps me make the final product immensely easier.

This doesn’t require AI, it just gave me an excuse to do it as a solo actor. I should really do it for more problems because I can wrap my head better thinking in human readable terms rather than thinking about what programming method to use.

Thanks blud.

Blud I’m gonna be fr no cap rn but wtf does blud mean I’ve been meaning to ask for months and I still don’t get it

Might just be me but YAML is some of the least readable shit I’ve ever used.

Self-hosting any wiki software solves the problems of Fandom, surely? I fail to see how federation solves any of Fandom’s issues.

I would refer to this as background noise, yes.

You should actually be using de-googled Libre Wolf with uBlock Origin and your own DNS server. You’ve let me down. /s

I use bath towels for two times, three if I can’t be bothered.

I think Telltale and those like it would be even worse examples than God Of War and etcetera. These games add a new dimension to the experience by providing ways for the viewer/player to influence the story. The only thing I could conflate it with would be CYOA books, which obviously are a conpletely different medium.

… which are not technical elements, but writing, thus the question stands.

I don’t agree that AI has no uses, you just have to know when to use it. There are multiple times I have scoured documentation and official forums of a niche tool to few results only to ask ChatGPT and get far closer to my goal in 2 minutes than I did in 30. I know the AI has to be getting that info from somewhere, but if Google, Reddit, and a forum search can’t find it then I am sorry but I am going to ask an AI.

Thanks for pointing that out, it’s a bad habit I’ve picked up!

Regex’s are not something you need AI for as there are already tools that explain them for you. Use regexr.com or a similar tool.

Thank god the government won’t know I enjoy cat facts.

Probably, but there used to be some good ones floating around when the internet was more fun. Sadly I don’t have a recommendation for OP though.

I don’t think this happens much in real life, I would assume most people use contacts. Though it is a commonly used format for fake text messages meant as memes.

Neutral flavour, easy to manipulate and crumble, best cooked with spices. I am Tofu.

Me! I am crazy and my opinion is that I like the round corners. Well, on Win11 where everything is rounded, anyway.
