Seems like you just have an axe to grind about fat people. Protein is not the deciding factor in weight gain, calories are, so I don’t know why you think a link to the wiki page about obesity would be convincing that protein powder is snake oil.

Even when you coincide that it is relevant you dismiss with little justification. Also BMI is not a great metric for individuals, many that have a lot of muscle are measured as overweight because there is a lot more to bodies that height and mass.

Can you justify why protein powder is snake oil in line with the other things in the thread? I will grant that most people have more than enough protein in a regular diet, but stats about obesity says literally nothing about if powder can help your workouts give the results you’re hoping for.

“newsworthy”??

Who said news? The mailing list is my k-drama

Yeah FreeTube and NewPipe both work for me still. Might be a problem in the future, but I’m hoping I dodge by being in the weird nerd slice that isn’t worth trying to force ads to.

It seems like you are building on criticisms of LLMs and applying them to something that very different. What poisoned data do you imagine this model having in the future?

That is a criticism of LLMs because new generations are being trained on writing that could be the output of LLMs, which can degrade the model. What suggests to you that this fusion reactor will be using synthetic fusion reactor data to learn when to stop itself?

Very interesting, and thank you for the write up! Might be worth looking and preconfigured reseeds if I was to dabble in it, but generally I just don’t have use for powerful anonymity tools currently. Always rad to hear about the tech though!

So how does I2P work, I vaguely remember something about it like slowly building a network as you keep your own connection on, and that the architecture makes it much better for torrenting. Is it worth looking into and learning about or is it just slow bad internet?

Completely agree, and it’s obscene that this weird creep that made a stalking app for this college can now push industries with how much money he has in this amorphous value. But I just hope that people can be angry at these facts without being lost in a misunderstanding and think that half of all millennial wealth is one guy.

This is also true, just makes folks look silly when they think that half of all millennial wealth is one guy.

Most people misunderstand this stat, it is not that half of all wealth is Zuck, it’s that 2% of that 4% is his.

I have corrected the one thing I know about immutable distros and am now furious with all others.

I was mostly joking and I might have been mis-attributing the delay. From the time’s I’ve had Fedora, including with KDE, if I update I have a pause during the next boot where I have to let the install finish before getting back to functional. My belief was that this was because the immutable system could not be running while updating, compared to non-immutable where a standard reboot works with a new kernel et al.

This is why fedora had a little bar after rebooting when I updated right? What am I a Windows user?!? This is the extent of my understanding of immutable distros and I am furious with them.

Do you know the person they were posting? I just assume anyone that does 5hr YouTube videos is unhinged, and having it linked from someone randomly on GitHub didn’t help my view of their followers. Finding the Unabomber confirmed it enough for me lol.

Interesting work, and an absolute fediverse way to look at a problem lol.

Also love the rule they pointed out that instance had of, don’t do things that would make us write new rules.

I do wonder what insights can be drawn, from a skim it seems more about understanding how rules connect to each other, rather than build a broad rule base.

Love the comment that is like second down with a link to some 5 hour live stream. I skipped to a random spot in it and the guy had the unabomber manifesto up, and said it “detailed the greatest problem in society today”. What a fucking drop for a github comment, 10/10 no notes.

This whole exchange is interesting, but the second half I think this sums this point well.

Ultimately any real world problem has lots of history and different justifications, and I think mask of nuance is being weaponized to pull the conversation out of reality and into a rhetorical space of inaction.

Rad! Yeah Arch is definitely has the mentality of, “Why would I need all that swooping pictures stuff when this HTML file works just fine?”

I currently use EndeavourOS, basically arch with an installer, and it’s been great for me because, with all it’s ‘simplicity’ and conciseness, the arch community is really great for documentation. And the Arch User Repository is an amazing tool.

Can I ask, are you in the linux community and just commenting on Arch’s choices, or was this your first look at this sort of thing and are noting your observations? No judgment either way, just curious.

To your point, the definition arch is using is computationally simple, as in fewer ‘moving parts’. In that vein, I think the aesthetic of some HTML on an information dense page makes sense. But I can see why it doesn’t fit with what most would consider simple design with their computers.

I was curious about your experience with it, because starting using linux with arch a bit on the deep end, and other distros have more inviting set ups (and web pages). In fact I would say almost every single one is more welcoming in the sense you’re describing than arch. To the counter point though, at a certain point the fluff of a lot of web pages end up as bothersome distraction, and arch caters to avoiding that sort of design.

They probably didn’t want to split the players base
