Ladies and gentlemen of the Linux community: A guy telling you to step inside the walled garden. Unironically.
I rest my case.
I don’t have the time for this.

That is absolutely not true unless if you have exact word matches, and anyone with half a brain knows it’s not about searching within discord, but about searching outside of it.
Discord is a black hole of information. What happens inside is unknown from the outside. This is why every single FOSS project using discord loses the right to call themselves FOSS - an issues page is equally free, has way, way better features to relate an issue to patches and releases, and is actually indexable.
If only there was something called an Issues page attached to every code repository. Oh well, that is an idea that is probably impossible or whatever.
Greatly improved usability, while still greatly hurting searchability, in that common bugs are still hidden away from indexable sight.
Don’t even need to make it about code. I once asked what a term meant in a page full of a certain well known FOSS application’s benchmarks page. It gave me a lot of garbage that was unrelated because it made an assumption about the term, exactly the assumption I was trying to avoid. I try to deviate it away from that, and it fails to say anything coherent and then loops back and gives that initial attempt as the answer again. I was stuck unable from stopping it from hallucinating.
How? Why?
Basically, it was information you could only find by looking at the github code, and it was pretty straightforward - but the LLM sees “benchmark” and it must therefore make a bajillion assumptions.
Even if asked not to.
I have a conclusion to make. It does do the code thing too, and it is directly related. Once asked about a library, and it found a post where someone was ASKING if XYZ was what a piece of code was for - and it gave it out as if it was the answer. It wasn’t. And this is the root of the problem:
AI’s never say “I don’t know”.
It must ALWAYS know. It must ALWAYS assume something, anything, because not knowing is a crime and it won’t commit it.
And that makes them shit.
I can always just skip those bits.
But it is annoying that they will talk Destiny updates for several minutes, but won’t mention other games in passing. Like, I don’t actually care about competitive Pokemon, but they just removed the Sleep Clause, which is like, the one and only thing people actually know about competitive Pokemon. You’d think they’d at least make a small comment on it, specially with all the attention Palworld got, but nah. For a multiplayer game to get a mention it seems to need to be owned by Blizzard or Epic.
They filled the “Totalbiscuit reads the weekly gaming news” niche and for that, they have my continued support and attention.
No one going to point out users self-host their servers?
Step 1: Don’t engage them, no room for their rhetoric.
You are to fuck off, and take your crypto and your blue line flags with you on the way out.
Then yes, we want an echo chamber. Happy? You’re still defending scum, no matter the semantics.

I find PvP games with unlockables and grindables to be the opposite of a good time.
What’s with the boomer humor tier jokes?
The joke is literally wifebad. That’s 60’s newspaper novelty. People have lived whole lives and died since these jokes were new.
It can. Just not lossless. Which it means it can’t.
I’m over 40 and finding wands in Noita fills me with joy.
“So, this one homes on enemies, has triple cast and delayed explosions… Hmmm, but what does orbital and bouncy do together?”

And I just restart the game with a grin. I feel like that game made what actual magic would be. Starting the game by silently teaching us about the dangers of fire was a stroke of genius. It’s always fire with magic, just weirder, bigger and wilder types of fire, and both me and my enemies don’t command it, we simply live in a world with it. Nothing but a video game could make me experience this. Nothing but a video game could generate near endless amounts of endlessly unlearnable amounts of raging wildfires to be amused by.
We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.
Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we’ve not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.
Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.
It is quite a weird thread. I’m seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn’t fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they’re not an actual Lemmy user.
That one is a special case. Yes, it got completely annihilated in numbers by even the goose goose duck clone, but, the thing is, the majority of its userbase just started playing on Mobile (where the game is free) well before the game left its popularity peak. So, the steam numbers are hardly representative of its playerbase, and the app’s download count shows it.
PUBG did not have a similar story at the time of its release, but does right now. It’s one of the most played games in the world… On chinese phones, so, uh, kind of invisible depending where we’re looking for. To put it into perspective: PUBG straight up dethroned the biggest, most profitable shooter in the world Crossfire, by splitting the population, and the takeaway there most people would have is “What the hell is a Crossfire???”.
