What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

I had a lot of high hopes for what it was striving to be, but it kind of fizzled out and never really excelled at any particular thing. Not saying it’s necessarily bad, I just remember being so hyped about it.

I find it kinda funny. I find it kinda sad he’s got many followers that I wish he’d never had.

Maaaad woooorld

Ugh Starbound was supposed to be so sick. That might be the only time I actually bought into early access hoping for more and got let down.

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

Apologies for the late comment. So this is a full-fledged frontend like photon or alexandrite, but with this recommendation engine built in? On first glance, it looks so much more responsive and lightweight! I’m really wondering what you’ve done that other big frontends haven’t lol, no broken images or anything! If you do end up going open source, I might consider actually contributing to something for once. I’d love to help build out some features.

Edit: After using it for a few minutes, wtf, it’s snappier than lemmy itself. And the community search, wow! Maybe a pretty ui does something to perception, I dunno. I am assuming you have barrels of cache lol.

I’m no statistician, but won’t the other 10% do just fine?

I still find myself trying to search like that every once in a while :(
