No, it's not a 2 hour long epic poem of toilet speak, although maybe it sort of feels that way. I think it's intellectual, maybe it's pseudo-intellectual nonsense, maybe it's "I'm 14 and this is deep" intellectual masturbation, I'm a philistine and an idiot and I can't always tell the difference. I'm not going to pretend I'm qualified to thoroughly review or vet the material, but it really seems like it's trying to be intelligent and actually discuss serious things. At one point he equates Skibidi toilet to digital brutalism, for example, as an art form that is intended to be unpleasant as part of its artistic notion. He seems to be, facetiously most likely, posing the argument that in a way we are already serving the machine god and the algorithm and this is what all humanity's history of progress has brought us to, this is what our idealized machine god considers art. And if we don't like it... I think maybe he's trying to imply that maybe we should reconsider our pursuit of the machine god. But it's kind of over my head, to be honest.

The channel is legitimately thoughtful video-essays or at least attempts to be and it's probably worth giving it a chance. It's not my cup of tea and I find it a bit hard to follow and I'm not sure I can sit through two hours of it, but it's not stupid brainrot. It's about stupid brainrot.

"meritocracy" huh?

Sort of, there are some similar aspects to it. I refer to it as my "internet appliance gulag". They can all live there in their big open-air prison and be as totally insecure as they want, spying on and hacking each other all day long and they can try to access my network or the internet all they want, none of them are getting out unless I have explicitly reviewed whatever the fuck it's trying to do and where it's trying to go and why.

Do not phone home, do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to Gulag.

I think Canada sent some NASAMs to Ukraine. Nice to hear that they're effective. Slava Ukraini!

Because originally there wasn't netting, and if the puck went where the netting is now, it would've been "out of play".

The point of the netting is not to change how the game is played to be any different from how it was originally played, it's just there to prevent spectators from needing facial reconstruction surgery when the puck goes out of play.

Sorry about your wallet then, haha. :) He's got a lot of videos and a lot of reviews. I assumed almost everyone already knew about the nerd castle. He's a pretty prominent and prolific reviewer of indie games (about to hit 1 million subs on Youtube) with a slight but noticeable lean and appreciation for the grittier, gorier, creepier and crunchier side of indie gaming that a lot of the usual "cozy indie" communities lack. It's a good place to be if you appreciate that kind of stuff.

I'm surprised splattercat hasn't played it yet? The description makes it seem right up his alley. You can tell from the videos he makes about them that he particularly loves twisted dystopian space looters like Quasimorphs and Ostranauts and weird, equally crunchy and mechanic-heavy scavenger shit like Roboscav and Mirklurk and they all tend to be the kind of games he's either played a bunch even before making videos about them or games he keeps coming back to and making additional videos about. I eagerly look forward to seeing a video about it from him sooner or later.

I agree with the sentiment in general, ollama sucks and is problematic, but the obstacle that stands in the way of that is reflected pretty much right here:

llama-swap handles multi-model orchestration, loading, unloading, and hot-swapping models on demand behind a single API endpoint. Pair it with LiteLLM and you get a unified OpenAI-compatible proxy that routes across multiple backends with proper model aliasing.

The article is just vaguely asserting people can go ahead and install 3 different applications and then figure out how to configure them to talk to each other and do all the things you want it to do seamlessly, without ever even attempting to explain how to actually do that, just to get what ollama does in 1 installer.

One might even say that Jeffries and Schumer are some of the powerful people who need to be held accountable. Hashtag NotAllDemocrats /s

No, I mean I am not opposed to it, but personally my philosophy is to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I'm absolutely confident he is not our friend, but neither is the country he is representing, and his constant mouthing off continues to degrade our relationship with them every time he opens it, I like him right where he is.

I don't really follow the Star Citizen drama too closely but I'm surprised he lasted that long. This is the same Olli who was dunked on throughout and ultimately thrown under the bus during the infamously disastrous livestream presentation they did. From the outside looking in, Olli seems like a reasonable and personable fellow and CIG may just be a toxic hellhole, or at least has a handful of toxic personalities in high positions and that's why they all didn't seem to get along very well, but even if it's for less blatant reasons I think it's pretty clear he was a poor fit for the organization and he's probably better off having nothing official to do with them going forward.
