and they never explain why i would use them over the more established matrix or fluxer (especially that fluxer now has federation for 2027 on their roadmap)

Well it is too bad the Windows sucks. If only they had the money to make a proper OS that gives you the option to switch from binary to decimal like in Linux.

I would still trust discord over a newly popped up slop project

they don't even have e2ee for DMs, and are most likely feeding your messages to LLMs

You will never hear me say gibibytes in public though. Telling on my nerdy ass self is for private conversations.

I like stoat, encryption optional and its not owned by Israeli Intelligence as far as we know at this time.

Yeah and I think if nothing else the text underlying it is surely llm.

I do kinda like the style, just a shame that the project (and probably the website) seem to be made using LLMs (look at the git ignores for the app)

I already did it on floppies.

I also attempted to program the entire AD&D rules as an Amiga Basic program. It ran well for a start, but then I noticed that the random generator always returned the same dice rolls. Turned out that the RAM was used up, so it couldn't store the random value anywhere. The program was fine otherwise. Just out of ram.

Anyway, I miss the ingenuity of having too little space, more than I am impressed with the possibilities of having too much.

People simply did more with less. I want that to return. The bloat is obscene, and hopefully AI is going to break the balloon of it. Nobody really needs several gigabytes of code to run a 2 line program.

Be the change you want to see, and report back 😅

Has anyone ever used the last byte on any hard disc in a successful manner?

I mean not by just putting a too large file there, but something that actually utilized that final byte and having the machine still run flawlessly?

SSDs also have over-provisioning (which is not a bad thing imo)

As if Discord had security...

Would hate to spoil that for anyone

Yeah I know it's technically the correct use of terabyte vs tebibyte but it still feels bad when your 12TB drive is only 10.9TiB

thats a sick website.

Also, even the AI systems used to establish a given standard donʻt follow it.

If any company could get away with labelling their product to have 1/10th less and get away with it, they would. Usually consumer rights organisations fight to make it so that you get what is advertised.

The producers are using semantics to give less. I, as a customer want what I have been promised by the label.

If you're interested in arguing the opposite, you're anti-customer, and pro-ripoff.

I've seen GB sometimes on Linux, but they're actual GB, not mislabeled GiB, so I don't have a problem with it.

"Bootlickers will blame a multi-trillion-dollar company"

Do you know what that word means?

This happens a lot whenever Discord fucks up. There's always like 10 posts in the selfhosting sublemmy shilling "Discord killers" that are AI written and don't have considerations for the security of such an application...

Yeah if we count one slop standard then we have to count all 7938 new standards a week.

Plus they're all just mix matches of old standards based on light meters, weight per volumes of x element, and temperature at phase changes of x material. None of them are actually new.

Technically you dont lose anything. Its like you buy a car with top speed in Kmh, but you see Mph when you drive.

pfft the slrpnk dude forgot!
