The PSU might be easy in practice but all those cords are daunting to the novice. Much easier to swap the RAM or even to take out and put in a new GPU.

I love that everything is USB-C

Well, maybe things are easier now. My 12 year old PC build has a modular PSU with a bunch of different cords.

There’s always been terrible things going on, but now the internet allows us to inundate ourselves with news daily.

suicide is cringe song

It can be news on topics you’re interested in, blogs on topics you’re interested in, comics, subreddits, etc. To give an idea, I follow:

• Ars Technica for tech news
• NASA for space news
• Local blogs on food/events/news/ going on in my city
• RockPaperShotgun for gaming news
• “A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry” for blog posts from a history professor
• Richard Y Chappell for blog posts from a philosophy professor
• A few YouTube channels
• A few niche Reddit feeds
• XKCD for comics (most webcomic artists have an RSS feed)

Depending on your RSS app, you can also follow podcasts. I use InoReader for the above but I prefer a dedicated podcast app. There’s good/entertaining RSS feeds on the internet if you’re willing to curate it! It’s nice to get away from internet comments.

Honestly, just set up an RSS feed. The internet is a bunch of isolated echo-chambers where you self-select into the chamber with the narrative you favor.

Anna’s Archive. 37,666,367 books, 105,835,081 papers — preserved forever. I’ve replaced my entire physical library and can now take my reading on the go.

I’m not a tech person, so I’ll take the lowest hanging fruit. The obvious answer is to write a program that can detect AI. Then there will be a competition between AI fakes and AI detection. This is similar to what we have in sports. There are forbidden enhancement procedures (e.g., steroids, blood doping, etc.) that have to keep improving in subtlety so not to be detected by Anti cheating measures.

Lemmy mods are the same. Actually, a lot of our mods were literally reddit mods.

Just played Disco Elysium for the first time and this comment makes more sense now lol

After the reddit exodus I started creating memes for the first time and posting them on Lemmy. I’ve learned that it’s harder to be funny than I thought. Also a lot of time/effort and I have actually important things in my life that I focus on. Reposting was also kinda fun but what’s the point really

Seems like the Internet is just circle jerks these days

Silent as per usual

This is great stuff, thanks!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

This comment alone is making me interested in Greek mythology. I’d like to know more. Any reading suggestions toward that end?
