the boy ain’t right

Did… did you read them, “bro”? Because they’re making my point, not yours.

The mice were fed an exclusive high fat high carb diet containing double the amount of aspartame that you’d find in a zero sugar drink. They’re mice. Scaling that amount up to match mg/kg in a human would be an ASTRONOMICAL amount of aspartame consumed at every meal, for 12 weeks. Even then, the effects in mice were not even exclusive to the aspartame group. ETA: did the math: It’s 5.2 MILLION cans of coke zero. Every meal. For 12 weeks.

The second one rated it as 2B, or the weakest link, and it says right there: “JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.” ETA: Just to put that 2B rating into perspective, shift work, as in working unusual hours, is rated as 2A, which is higher. Magnetic fields have a rating of 2B.

Your last study is interesting but far from conclusive. It found a correlation, which is not causation. Even the author suspects “chronic high intake” of being the culprit.

Stop spreading FUD. Drink in moderation, and you’re golden.

Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y’all motherfuckers need jesus Liam

Aspartame is fine, sugar won’t hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you’re golden.

Stop spreading FUD.

The only thing that’s childish is thinking your age means you have to stop doing the things you enjoy. I’m in my late 30’s and you’re basically describing my weekends. Well, the ones I actually have free that is. Sadly, responsibilities eat into that more and more the older you get. All the more reason to actually enjoy your free time when you have it

Guess I underestimated the lengths people will go to to cheat!

Who the fuck is so desperate to cheat that they’re building custom kernels!? Like, that just seems beyond far fetched to me.

Ye, this. It’s not really their fault. There’s no protocol for responsible sites to flag AI content to the search engines. They can’t really be expected to examine each and every site’s bespoke tagging system for their specific way of declaring AI imagery. I hope that changes soon, and DDG could be the pioneers of it if they wanted.

This has to be a slap suit right? Surely there’s no merit to this?

And then won, and then lost, and then won. That’s how an arms race works. And we have the advantage in numbers. There are far more people who don’t want their shit scalped than people working for the morons at OpenAI, or Google or Anthropic. And yes, they ARE morons. The battle is only lost when one side gives up. You only lose when you accept defeat.

Yeah good luck asshole.

PSA to anyone who uploads art online, anywhere. Poison it first. Use the latest version. I’m sorry but you are in an arms race now. Dickhead over here is full of shit, but even if they’re not, Nightshade is updated fast.

While it is theoretically true that you can turn one distro into another, in practice it’s not worth it. It’s the same thing as trying to sell someone on “you never need to reboot to apply updates or fix things.” Ye, technically true, but unless you’re maintaining huge corporate servers where downtime is measured in dollars, 9 times out of 10, it’s just easier to reboot and see if it fixes the issue. And yes, it will often still fix the issue.

The reason for distro hopping etc is because picking a distro is essentially choosing your defaults/ideology/character alignment. There are no wrong answers. Just go with what feels right. Newbies should distro hop to see how they align, experienced users should do it for fun and to see if a different way suits them better.

We should be herding beginners towards beginner friendly distros so they don’t run into a cliff of a learning curve, but which specific one is basically arbitrary.

As for your other examples: Don’t let your dreams be dreams. You can 100% use batocera as server if you like, it’s entirely possible. You’re just going to have to dedicate a shitload of time coercing into a server shape… but nothing’s stopping you

Excellent. It’s nice to know my 1080p 60hz content will have lots of room to spread out

Replace AI with something like Flex Tape, and you really get a sense of how stupid the push to get AI into everything is. Flex Tape is great, but I don’t need it when ordering a pizza ffs.

Imagine having, for the remainder of your life, for ever and eternally, the shame of once thinking a year book quote is that important.

There is life after highschool

Pfft. Learn to time travel n00b. Skill issue.

Just got my Steam controller, and it’s amazing how many friends I have who are just like: “Ew, I never use a controller. I played <insert some game that would be better with a controller here> with a mouse and keyboard”

Had to Google this. I didn’t know about Snoop Dogg… deep sigh

What I wouldn’t give (or pay) for a 1. sleek, modern smartphone 2. running a pure Linux distro 3. that’s feature complete enough to daily drive

All of the current options available fall down in one of the three areas. Usually 2. and 3… mostly 3.
