It’s because of this bullshit.

Take a guess how many members this server/example community serves:

500? 2000? 10,000+?

Surely, a group of 50,000 needs a ticket system, age verification, moderation, and rules/TOS+registration?

There are twelve users in that chat/server. Three of the 12 are moderators. One is the “owner”.

Discord became a “community tool” because Discord moderators/“creators” are a special class of human being who realized their dream model train set could be upgraded with Internet connectivity.

Medium-to-large-scale-enterprise tooling is available to spin up for anyone, without having to pay for anything. In fact, Discord incentivizes donations through “boosts” where the users of a community pay for server costs rather than the hosts/maintainers themselves.

As a result, people go ham and never invest in proper training, role division or infrastructure. They cosplay at running a pseudo-corporation and Discord adds their requested features, at a price/donation premium.

P.S: I run a Discord channel of 223 users with no moderation, we have one text channel and two voice channels. We use the service like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak for a Steam Clan. I’ve literally had these busybodies from disparate communities join just to tell me I was “doing it wrong”.

P.S.S: I also hate HOAs.

Wait, why is your name in purple

What sorcery is this

A dev?

On Lemmy?

Answering requests?

The prophecy!

Woah. She’s like a female version of Darth Maul, but without any clothes on.

Kinda badass, NGL

What are you going to do when people want to meet her then? Lol

God had nothing to do with spiders (:

In fact they’ve been absent for quite a bit, left to buy milk and uh, y’know

Coughs

Now that’s a first class shower thought

TLDR: The body has a setpoint for weight which is tuned to environmental conditions and will attempt to reach it by modulating hunger.

It takes 8-12 months for these hormones to reset, so any diet is ineffective unless permanently maintained.

High setpoint? Prepare to be ravenously hungry all the time if you eat below your hormonal baseline.

I’m sorry friend; I still feel that childhood demiurge of “the game”.

I got teary eyed this morning playing a particularly satisfying VR title.

I guess my advice is: Try virtual reality gaming.

You’ve also simultaneously failed age verification

There was a king once named Damocles that had a sword suspended over his throne that could come crashing down at any random moment and kill him, to remind himself of the fragility of his power, and human life.

I have no idea how that anecdote might apply to people in power in this day and age, or why people would reference the anecdote.

Glares at the fraying rope

Excellent website. Scary data source.

It’s like “Collapse of Western Civilization, 38% complete”

I’m probably going to upset a few Star Wars fans with this, but in the original version that I saw of the New Hope / Ep4, both Han and Greedo have their blaster pistols drawn under the table, and Han shoots Greedo first.

I’ve seen the entire internet argue about who shot first, but the irony is that if he didn’t shoot first he would get shot by Greedo and the story would end right there.

It wasn’t murder, it was quickdraw. :)

Does Obama lose re-election or something?

I’d recommend reading Stand on Zanzibar for a glimpse into a +4.8°C future that we’re headed into.

TLDR: ROCM is AMD’s variant for general purpose compute on GPUs, like CUDA is for NVIDIA.

OpenAI being for profit.

I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it’s annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines:

--rocm-6.6.7.2-dev1  --cuda

But I figure it’s a four letter acronym to match “CUDA”.

I also pronounce it “Rock’em” in verbal versus “Koo’dah” (Barracuda).

Everything is about marketing and goodwill. You can just say something has “blast processing” and fail to elaborate.

The bottom right “art” in green is pure schizoposting, the “DMs from the divine” and then walls of text are typical of degenerative schizophrenia.

I’m sorry OP, they might be an art thief, they might be insane, maybe both.

That’s some past life/reincarnation shit that people would have posted about to the newspapers in the recent bpast

(“Four year old claims to have been a fighter pilot in WW2”)

I have a FLIR camera too and my gas range runs at 250°C confirm?
