It's been pretty nice so far. Last weekend I finished a project I've been working on since April last year so I've finally been able to relax over the weekend for maybe the first time in ~3 months. In related news: I also finally got to start Spider-Man 2 and that has been a lot of fun too.
It was a personal project. I was planning a party, which doesn't sound like a lot; but I really wanted it to go well, so I was putting in a lot of work on decorations, goody bags, catering, etc. (Plus I've never planned a party before)
Originally reddit was a niche site with few visitors that was full of knowledge and a strong sense of community.
Then during Gamergate (2014), several organizational subs were created by rancid basement dwelling mysogitrolls that soon found that not only did they not get banned for doxxing and harassing people, that they gathered even more rancid basement dwelling mysogitrolls to their ranks and realized they weren't as rare as they worried.
Then 2015 rolled around and a SHITTON of alt-right wastes of their own father's protein came around for the whole trumpfest that reddit became at the time.
And they never left.
On the other hand, a ton of people who created content and supported other users with meaningful replies all decided it wasn't worth the constant harassment, doxxing, malicious reporting, bigotry, botting and refusal of the admins to address said behaviors.
And we left.
So the only redditors still there are either shitstains or too emotionally invested to leave yet.
And that latter group will get smaller and smaller as the shitstains become louder and more emboldened.
Seriously though, I've been using Reddit since probably about 2012. I never really put time into analyzing it's demise. I didn't care enough. Thanks for the information. 🙂
Shut your whore mouth! On occasion, a post might just slip by the assholes. Make another blanket statement like that and I'll swat your grandma live on 8chan.
busy, busy weekend. took coco (foster dog) to the community garden volunteer day on saturday morning. my partner had his birthday bash at a local music venue where his band and his friends' bands played. came back to our house for a garage after party. drove to the adjacent city to hang with folks sunday morning, then came home and watched the extended edition of the lord of the rings: the two towers. i fell asleep during the last hour or so, but i just watched it last weekend, so i'm okay with that. (my partner missed watching it, which is why i rewatched.)
going alcohol-free until valentine's day, which should be a good little reset.
A book/movie/object collection shelf app that has barcode scan, ISBN search, and custom database entries like money spent. They were really popular in the early 2010s but mostly subscription based and Mac only. I could probably repurpose something like Calibre to do similar things but that's a bit overkill and a lot of non-book entries would take too long to setup.
i'm surprised to see that the dude who replied on my post is actually the kagi guy, though. that's surprising, i took him for some q&a support mod lmao
but yea i'm trans so i do my best not to support transphobic (or otherwise bigoted) people. seems like it's in my best interest y'know. and sometimes i don't know! i was pretty excited for kagi at first blush, it's really a shame they're not worth the time or effort
Organic Maps currently only supports metro/subway navigation, not buses, trains or other types of PT (although they are planning on introducing a new map layer for that). Bike routing works, although only fully separated bike paths are rendered.
@JohnDumpling oh, I see. I thought only my city was not supported. OsmAnd does have on the ground transit routes though. And there's also Transportr and Offi, but they do not support all the cities (and clearly not bike paths).
I'd like a functional local LLM app for Android. I tried MLCChat, but it just spat out gibberish. I tried installing llamafile on a Linux VM with Termux, but it didn't work.
