I've always had a soft spot for the word rizz. Not just is it a shortening of charisma, so more sensible than other zoomer words, but I grew up playing D&D, where wisdom is frequently shortened to Wis, and Cha is bad to say and doesn't rhyme.

I mean it's been heavily filtered for the better part of a decade. I never really minded some of the filtering, which at first was just quarantining the far right, but then nsfw subs got hidden, etc. Pretty quickly it was the old standard front page with a bit of chaos.

Also strangely enough, when I first started using Reddit around 2011, everyone just went straight to the frontage for everything, and the defaults in the front page dominated the app, it was probably around 2015-2016 that people actually pivoted to /r/all after the defaults of the front page were bland and stagnant, and from then on, the admins have taken steps to make /r/ all bland and stagnant too.

The only time I ever find myself getting preachy is when people who eat meat talk about halal meat as unethical. I have no idea why it bothers me so deeply when it's technically fighting for better treatment of animals, but there's something especially frustrating about the options are:

1. Kill them quickly.

2. Kill them slowly.

3. ~~Don't kill them.~~

Honestly if you never go back, not much. It wouldn't even impact your credit rating, and your country likely doesn't have the means to enforce it. I could imagine you get harassed by us debt collection agencies but they can't do anything about it either. If you're never returning to the US, it's fine.

You could likely even still holiday in the USA. It won't impact your visa as it's not a criminal offence either.

I'm not a lawyer, and could be totally wrong, but I asked my dad who is also not a lawyer.

When I was still using Instagram reels, I was always amazed how quickly the algorithm figured me out. If I hesitated for even a second on a reel, it would amend my next ones immediately. I assume the real trick is comparing it to the average time spent on a reel, everyone spends longer on a wall of text reel, but when I stop on a Linux reel for an extra second, I'm immediately in the 1% for engagement.

I read something years ago about how your phone keyboard tracks your recommended words, it knows if you're more likely to type apple or Apple, or if you type soup more than average, and any app that gets that data and compares it to the baseline has an instant, in depth profile on you.

And everyone please stop using it as a forum for the love of God. I have no use for discord as a platform, but every damn FOSS program asking me to go there for troubleshooting is insanity.

I've been super happy with the fairphone 6 after being on various flagship and second grade Samsung phones for a decade.

I'm slightly saddened that my out of the box customisation options are so locked down compared to Samsung, but I'm also aware that the average fairphone buyer is more primed to root and alter their phone due to being on the edges of hobbyist tech. I also miss wireless charging, I'd say I was 50/50 between using wired and wireless charging, with all my cool home automation linked to when I started wireless charging at certain home stations, and wired equivalents just don't hit the same spot.

That's literally my only gripes. My battery's health seems to have performed better in the year since I got it than my Samsung phones did, and everything else is totally comparable. I'm one of the few people who likes Bluetooth headphones so I don't mind the lack of a headphone jack.

It's just a verb that means to (frequently) masturbate to porn.

I do agree entirely. If I could use the internet of 2015 I would, but I can't do so in a practical way that isn't much more tedious than asking an LLM.

My options are the least rancid butter of the rancid butter restaurants or I churn my own. I'd love to churn my own and daydream of it, but I am busy, and can barely manage to die on every other hill I've chosen.

Compared to crypto and NFTs, there is at least something in this mix, not that I could identify it.

I've become increasingly comfortable with LLM usage, to the point that myself from last year would hate me. Compared to projects I used to do with where I'd be deep into Google Reddit and Wikipedia, ChatGPT gives me pretty good answers much more quickly, and far more tailored to my needs.

I'm getting into home labs, and currently everything I have runs on ass old laptops and phones, but I do daydream if the day where I can run an ethically and sustainably trained, LLM myself that compares to current GPT-5 because as much as I hate to say it, it's really useful to my life to have a sometimes incorrect but overalls knowledgeable voice that's perpetually ready to support me.

The irony is that I'll never build a server that can run a local LLM due to the price hikes caused by the technology in the first place.

I heard a theory (that I don't believe, but still) that Deepseek is only competitive to lock the USA into a false AI race.
