It’ll happen some day. There will eventually be “Illegal” wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they’ll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there’s just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

I wish Bloomberg would stop spamming anti marijuana propaganda all the time on his website and passing it off as “news”. Fuck that asshat. What companies does he own so I can boycott them all?

I pirate too much stuff because monthly fees and everything as a service are eating everyone alive. Hard pass.

llamacpp. Remember to modify the launch script to use multiple cores. Go to hugging face io and look for GGUF compatible models.

Huh, I’m going to try shaving my armpits. I’m a smelly guy and I seem to need to use a lot of deodorant to keep it under control.

I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for a lot of my “googling” because modern day search results are fucking worthless now.

I hope she at least died immediately, that sounds like a terrible way to go.

Fuck yes now I can lose 120tb of data and they’ll still refuse to replace the drive despite it being under warranty because apparently 1399235195 bad reads + the drive being unusable isn’t considered broken enough to get a replacement.

Instead of playing factorio 2.0 for 24 hours a day, I’ll have to find a way to play it for 48 hours a day. The. Factory. Must. Grow.

When it gets impossible to find tvs that stay out of your way, I’m going to become obsessed with crt monitors. Learning how to maintain them to keep them running literally forever seems like a more achievable goal than doing that same thing with normal unshittified flat-screen tvs.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don’t comment if I have nothing to add.

I know the costs of living in California are so far out of control it’s barely livable but considering the job opportunities in my area I kind of want to move there just to get a fast food job. I even have a degree in IT yet I have to compete with people more qualified and experienced than me just for a $15/hr job.

It won’t be long now before all Microsoft products need a monthly fee. Now people will actually have to switch to Linux due to cost instead of switching to Linux just because they want to.

I swear to fuck, in 2030 we’re going to be spinning our own homebrew crts. 640x480 is better than ads.

To the average person, putting that much thought and effort into it is for elite hackers only. I know a guy that does cybersecurity and still has smart everything in his house.

I want to rent one of those airport mall storefronts and sell parachutes to 737 max customers.

Instead of a regular backpack can I just bring a parachute as my carryon?

Go play any modern indie game. You’ll need at least a 1050ti for it to run well. The graphics are good, sure. Now go play something that runs on an open source 3d engine such as Ogre or irrlicht. Tux Kart is a good example of a modernized open source game and Xonotic gets mentioned a lot too (I don’t know/didn’t research what 3d engine Xonotic uses). You’ll get playable performance even if your gpu is trash and the graphics are actually pretty good. If the game you picked has potato ass shit graphics then congratulations you only need a pc that’s 20 years old or newer to run it. Gpu prices are eating gamers alive and it’s getting to the point where the common person isn’t going to be able to play modern pc games anymore if system requirements in games just keep getting higher and higher. They can’t even figure out how to supply more electricity to graphics cards without the wires melting from all the current. Wtf even is their end game?

If professional game developers don’t start making performance a priority the Linux nerds will start developing games the same way they made foss replacements for all the unfair paid software. I’m tired of buying computer parts. Video game graphics are already as good as they’re going to get (photorealism for fuck sake), they aren’t getting better but system requirements are getting higher. If this trend continues it will radicalize more people into supporting open source projects instead.

I don’t think anyone is putting bitcoin miners in their games. I just think it’s unfair that system requirements for everything seem to be getting higher, gpu prices are always getting higher but the graphics we actually get for it all aren’t even a worth it.
