nfts actually would be pretty useful in videogame like purchasable skins and shit like imagine the counter strike shit but even more sketchy and unregulated (and ironically enough even less useful for money laundering, boo public blockchain! boo!)

@crunklord420 Baking soda actually does work as deodorant. I've been doing that since 2023.

@lina @ceo_of_monoeye_dating "Hacking" use to mean "playful cleverness". It didn't necessarily have to deal with computers. It was some subculture common with mathematicians, engineers, and programmers, but eventually the word went mainstream, but only when it came to interacting with computers in unconventional ways. Stallman hates the new definition and demands that security breakers be called "crackers" instead.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating Gleason is alright in my book. Granted, I'm on a Mastodon instance so his abandonment of the fedi has no effect on me.

Suiseiseki, on the other hand is a prime example of extreme free software autism actually keeping people on Windows. He also adopts Stallman's autistic vocabulary (GNU+Linux instead of Linux, cracker instead of hacker, etc) and shoves it down everyone's throat.

I vote for Suiseiseki.

AI may have already peaked.

https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/27/opinion_column_ai_model_collapse/

AI needs non-AI data to learn from. If you feed it data generated by AI, it focuses on specific facts to the exclusion of reality - patterns in the learning algorithm reinforce patterns in the previous generation of output - leading to a state called model collapse where it goes insane.

And the internet is flooded with AI slop, so filtering it out at this point is prohibitively expensive.

@bonkmaykr I haven't played that game in a while. It's one of the few FOSS shooters that isn't just some Quake III or Unreal Tournament clone.
