@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz tbh I don't think the hackintosh people care much about using something like macos specifically, they just care about be bisexual eat hot chip lie look pretty etc. thus I anticipate a plurality of them transitioning into being linux ricers over the next few years

@stickers@hidamari.apartments @Alsvid@brain.worm.pink that's right!! may the slack be with you

Suya......

@cell@shitposter.world I was stunlocked the other day when I saw some talks on Igalia's channel hosted by him and found out that was his real official portrait and not just some photo-op channers made of him

@nyx@social.xenofem.me @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz all the while a different contingent of flouridated ricers seek to exactly duplicate every half-assed weeb rice from the 90s, right down to the requisite low quality serial experiments lain wallpapers and questionable window decoration choices

@coolbean@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @nyx@social.xenofem.me also, perhaps more importantly, they haven't lost their whimsy and sense of joy and wonder at life

@coolbean@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @nyx@social.xenofem.me e16, window maker, and ctwm all feel like endgame wms to me, if I'm ever forced to stop using mate I'll probably land on one of the three

@coolbean@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @nyx@social.xenofem.me those are the ones I respect tbh, they're at least doing something interesting even if they're largely retreading old ground

Something not often remarked about in this present age of ours is the resemblance between so-called "artificial intelligence" and demon summoning. Assemblages of (alleged) randomness which get manipulated by supernatural entities into flattering and sycophantic pseudo-language which is used to parasitize (willing and not) human hosts and attempt to get them to forfeit their individuality (being as they are made in the image of God) in favor of being absorbed into the collective thought-entity thusly being constructed. Even something like God (the PRNG oracle) in TempleOS carries this risk, but the further up the chain you move (early LMs being novelty oracles and present-day LMs being Artificial Redditors), the more present and damning the risk becomes.

@azalea@woem.space it's an ongoing dialogue for sure, 1%ers/"global elites" (who, notably, are *not* jewish despite ceaseless far-right and far-left slanders to that effect) formulating the course they want to see for society, society in turn freely consenting to what they are presented, and all the while the demons laugh all the way to the proverbial bank knowing that both parties are serving their ultimate purpose, annihilating all that is uniquely good and divine in the human experience and replacing it with pale simulacra thereof at a gain of exactly nothing in return

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @rose@brain.worm.pink @bongwater@kill-corporations.enterprises idk what bongwater is in this context but drugs definitely lead to the same kind of thing that makes gpt2 interesting in this context, i.e. it has some idea of how to connect given things together but nowhere near enough to make it truly coherent and self-consistent

@coolbean@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @nyx@social.xenofem.me e16 or nu-enlightenment?

@ikeWren@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @nyx@social.xenofem.me if I had to guess something about x11 support (or lack thereof) on apple silicon, nothing really wrong with xfce itself

@ricci@discuss.systems @vaporeon_@glaceon.social it's all down to al kossow and the hand of god now

hello feddy verse, I'm here to present something terrible to you

@azalea@woem.space I've noticed this as well, the global elite who want you to be a NPC bugperson who lives in a pod and conforms exactly with the received morality of their superiors (the king of this world and his delegates)

@olmitch@shitposter.world materialism in its entirely is inherently reddit-coded, sorry, I don't make the rules

@olmitch@shitposter.world spotted the redditor

@merchantHelios ys series (archetypal action rpgs), trails series (imagine the platonic form of a jrpg in your head but with actual writing), xanadu series (historically fantasy but last entry kind of did an urban high school setting to cash in on those persona $$$$$), https://www.falcom.co.jp/vantage/index_e.html honorable mention for vantage master which is a pretty good srpg that in a gigachad move they officially translated and made freeware 20+ years ago

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @merchantHelios@poa.st it was actually how I got introduced to falcom a decade back (the whole pentium 4 freeware gaming special), but in general it's pretty obscure even within their catalog

@birdulon@shpposter.club @djsumdog@djsumdog.com @pretendo@mastodon.pretendo.network @bot@seal.cafe @coolboymew@shitposter.club Yeah, so Pentium II is a pretty reasonable floor for it, maybe Pentium MMX if you did a super good job of optimizing it.

@coolboymew@shitposter.club @djsumdog@djsumdog.com @pretendo@mastodon.pretendo.network @bot@seal.cafe @birdulon@shpposter.club "slightly weaker than the PS1" posted minimum requirements for VGS on the Mac were a 233MHz G3, PC requirements I have no doubts are pretty similar

@nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @sc_griffith@mathstodon.xyz @scathach@stereophonic.space no not you, this was way before fedi

@nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @sc_griffith@mathstodon.xyz @scathach@stereophonic.space I basically dealt with that level of publicity by becoming a troll to vent off everything around me, eventually I got better tho

@coolboymew@shitposter.club @djsumdog@djsumdog.com @pretendo@mastodon.pretendo.network @bot@seal.cafe @birdulon@shpposter.club Yes it is, clock for clock probably on par with a 300MHz Pentium II.

@nemesis@the.asbestos.cafe @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @sc_griffith@mathstodon.xyz @scathach@stereophonic.space this has already happened to me before and it's one hell of a feeling for sure

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @bongwater@kill-corporations.enterprises @rose@brain.worm.pink oh someone in the thread, right then, carry on

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @rose@brain.worm.pink @bongwater@kill-corporations.enterprises gpt2 would have done a better job 100%, but this has little to do with any deficiency of joanne and everything to do with gpt2 (with right tuning etc.) being something which is capable of generating genuinely novel and interesting textual output by the very fact of it being so primitive. newer models are smoothed over and don't produce anywhere near as interesting output, human collated or not.

@bara@clubcyberia.co I've been cornered in confined spaces with them before and seen them possess others very close to me. Not going to go into the details because it's not appropriate for fedi writ large but I can say that I was lucky to escape with my life in all such instances.

@birdulon@shpposter.club @djsumdog@djsumdog.com @pretendo@mastodon.pretendo.network @bot@seal.cafe @coolboymew@shitposter.club Definitely imo.

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz not sure tbh. I'm thinking more like those hyprland meme distros
