I could be far more tolerant of this if they had at least a FAQ section somewhere. Most times they don't even pin the important or repeated messages.

Us the 90s kids grew up with the idea of 'internet as a library', which means websites are treated as books or magazines inside the shelves, that serve as repositories. We still have to read, but we were also used to it.

Perhaps it's a generational shift, but nowadays 'internet as an assistant' approach is gaining over, which means the search bar (whichever it happens to be from) is treated as a search engine, and user directly inputs a semantic question expecting it to be answered. Users don't expect to read, and aren't expected to. Advertisement space is far more important.

When you think of that way, the idea of having a chatroom instead of proper support forum start making sense, even if I dread this idea and prefer proper text.

Being too confident or lazy gets them caught. Good for us.

Yes, I tried max intensity keeping it inside my pants. It was still too weak. What I'm doing now is to put my phone on desk next to the keyboard so I can awkwardly pickup the phone whenever it moves. Haven't tried the vibration patterns though. I should do that tomorrow.

It looks ~~so dark and edgy~~ tacky.

Also a potential for spam, unfortunately. Some of the newer TLDs are blocked by a lot of sysadmins due to spam and fraud.

I used to browse reddit through alternate frontends on desktop and 3rd party apps on mobile precisely because of that. I never liked the new flashy design.

It's the only thing he can market himself as, can he? A constipated anti-woke alpha-male always enraged at something.

He should have sticked to Tesla and SpaceX and be quiet. Dicking around like a spoiled child unmasked his real persona to the masses.

Personal anecdote. I've been using BetterDAN jailbreak for weeks. It outputs GPT and DAN versions from the same input and, as you can guess, the DAN output is much more raw and unhinged. I appreciated the comedic but also the approach. It's like... you had Trevor from GTA5 bitching at you every time you asked a question but he still answers it.

It changed this week however. My DAN-Trevor is too... calm? It's like Trevor apparently started taking his meds and is reapplying for the air force or getting into hockey again, and it's scary.

How hard is it to read a font from a text?

My man, you just don't know how crappy OCR can be with non-latin alphabet writing systems, especially Chinese characters.

If the source is already in text (perfectly accessible), why should we make an image out of it? That's like saying let's email a document, but instead of the original doc file, let's print them out, scan, and then send the pdf of those images instead.

I used the crap out of it years ago. Someone could fork it as an alternate lemmy frontend?
