For me I think the difference is that software never used to be actually important, it was either games or just otherwise hobby software.

Now when something crashes I actually need it for work, or to bank, or to navigate, or hell sometimes the only menu at a restaurant is a QR code but my damn phone is failing to recognise it again.

When you introduce technology into every facet of life, it's suddenly death by a thousand cuts when things don't work, or are a slow buggy mess.

Then its time to break out the good old MUDs

There's a firefox extension that will pass cookies over.

Thank you, I've been thinking this for a while now but haven't had the words for it. Whenever I read an LLMs output or thinking process, I don't feel like we've created intelligent systems, just coked up monkeys with 60 arms typing at once. That can work fine for a lot of things, but a humanity replacement it is not.

Meanwhile my steam library of 900+ works pretty much flawlessly on linux. Yes the odd esoteric game needs a workaround or two, but honestly if you browse the pcgamingwiki then you'd notice you also need to tweak them on windows too, such is the problem with older games.

I have little sympathy that they're buckling over a problem they helped create.

Thank you, it's been infuriating reading these social media bans for children, as if when kids suddenly turn 16 or 18 or whatever magical nimber the courts come up with, they are suddenly immune to the psychological tricks from multi million dollar companies hiring the best psychologists with no morals money can buy.

Social media needs to be heavily regulated to the point where it's safe for everyone, or banned entirely. I don't understand why there's this belief it should have a right to exist when basically everyone agrees it's a net negative to society.

What's to stop you, using your 18+ ID from buying crates of alcohol and giving it to random < 18 year olds for the lulz?

They very specifically do not accept AI contributions because there is no way to tell if it's just regurgitating parts of the various Windows source code leaks from over the years ad-hoc, which would be a very costly mistake to make if Microsoft were feeling litigious.

Any of the Sims 1 prank phone calls would be amazing

And most people don't ever check their car oil.

The point is that the onus is on you to do it, and if you don't then the consequences are yours to bear. Personal responsibility seems to be in short supply these days.

You browse torrent sites without uBlock Origin?

> It's not like people audit every line of kernel/driver/BIOS/EFI code before running Linux?

That's basically Torvolds full time job?

CTF is a game mode for popular online games like halo (or at least, that's how I know it), so paragraphs like

> My first CTF was HCKSYD, a 48-hour solo CTF. I full solved it and won in 2 hours. I was completely hooked. That led me to win DownUnderCTF, Australia's largest CTF, with Blitzkrieg multiple times. Blitzkrieg was one of Australia's strongest teams at the time. I later joined TheHackersCrew, an international top-tier team that was consistently ranked highly on CTFTime, the main global ranking and event calendar the scene uses as its scoreboard. With them, I competed in some of the most prestigious CTFs in the world, consistently placing well within the top 10 until the end of 2025.

Are still completely nonsensical to even those that understand the acronym
