  • What are you most looking forward to?

    Jump

  • Not to be a shill, but it exceeded my expectations! I use it often and with a hardwired PS5 I’ve had absolutely no network issues.

  • If we are in a simulation, maybe yawning is an animation glitch.

    Jump

  • Can you really recall every single detail? I’m not sure about you, but I can easily spend 30 minutes reading comments and then forget exactly what I was reading. Could I be reading gibberish that feels meaningful in the moment, but is gone as soon as I move on? Kind of like a dream?

  • I will check it out after work. Sounds very promising on paper.

  • Why haven’t we seen a peer-to-peer (P2P) social media platform yet?

    Jump

  • No need for real-time messaging or extensive message histories—it could be “survival of the fittest ideas.” Popular content stays seeded, while less popular content disappears when the poster goes offline.

  • Why haven’t we seen a peer-to-peer (P2P) social media platform yet?

    Jump

  • That’s the crux of my question—why isn’t there a modern/beautiful social media platform built on the tried and true BitTorrent protocol? People already know how to torrent (or used to), and with a well-designed client, they wouldn’t even need to know it’s a P2P system.

  • Why haven’t we seen a peer-to-peer (P2P) social media platform yet?

    Jump

  • Great points! Although in a truly decentralized system, users wouldn’t need to seed everything—only the posts or comments they upvote. This would give upvotes more weight, as users would be actively supporting and “hosting” content with their compute resources.

    No mutability required. Unpopular posts and comments fade when the OP (seeder) goes offline.

    Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all?

  • Is AI inevitable for humanity?

    Jump

  • Sorry and fixed! FYI my light mode is on during the day and off at night. I’m not a total monster!

  • Is AI inevitable for humanity?

    Jump

  • You're absolutely right, I don't definitely don't think that we are there!

    Although I do believe that humanity has always trended this way—starting with sitting on rocks, then shaping trees to fit the contours of our physical bodies as chairs. Now, we're trying to shape abstract knowledge and "thoughts" to fit the contours of our individual minds for similar reasons.

    Does anyone else feel like life's been on pause for too long?

  • Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?

    Jump

  • I don’t know about proof but when you spend lots of time on a platform you naturally start to notice patterns.

    There was an essence of superficiality that permeated a lot of the content that I consumed on Reddit, even the niche subreddits.

    For example, on the movie or video gaming subreddits people would often ask for recommendations and I noticed a lot of the top comments were single word answers. They’d just say the name of the movie or game. There was no anecdote to go along with the recommendation, no analysis, no explanation of what the piece of media meant to them.

    This is a single example. But the superficiality is everywhere. Once you see it, it’s very hard to unsee it.

  • whats something that brings you back to your childhood happy place?

    Jump

  • For me, it’s the simple memories of playing Quake 3 Arena on Friday nights after school. Crush soda in my cup. A fresh bagel in my hand. Freedom from the responsibilities of homework until Sunday night. I only had the one game so I’d spend the evening exploring different mods, trying to teach myself how to make levels (maps), and of course just frag noobs online until my eyes hurt. I’d stay up super late and when I’d wake up I literally couldn’t be more excited to do it all over again. It was glorious.

  • What generation are you?

    Jump

  • Semi-related anecdote…

    During the debates my wife made a joke that Biden is so old he’s not even a Boomer. We then gave each other a look and pulled out our phones to check. Turns out it’s true, he is from the “Silent Generation”.

  • We all know it's true

    Jump

  • hooooly shit! has anyone else played journey?

    Jump

  • This was exactly my experience as well! The same thing happened with Witcher 3. Sooo much hype but no matter how many times I’ve gone back to it, I just can’t get into it.

  • Different users would see unique ads. So your ad could be 12 seconds long while my ad is 30 seconds long. A timestamp based skip would no longer work universally.

  • Leaked Documents Reveal How Google Search Gatekeeps the Internet

    Jump

  • What I like about it is that it's trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.

    A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
