Thread 106479572

Where do you go to discuss computer systems, coding and all sorts of fun hobbies? It can't possibly be here only. There must be a better community that's more /g/ than /g/

lainchan

>>106479586
Is that even alive?

>>106479603
its pretty dead but theres some good discussion on there. sometimes threads last for years
would be nice if there were more people though

everywhere else is pretty much dead

>>106479572 (OP)
reddit. it's the best. there are many smart folx there

>>106479572 (OP)
i just talk to gemini or chatgpt now
every community is dead or filled with schizos

>>106479721
>>106479825
>>106479840
>>106480237
So what I get from this is there's not much in terms of options. That's sad. Very sad

>>106479840
Is reddit really even human anymore? Heard it's full of bots.

>>106480569
The trick to Reddit is to find a niche sub with few members. Those aren't botted and you'll find genuine discussion with genuine people.

https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/comments/1n7fcki/is_energy_harvesting_still_a_good_capstone/

The fewer the population, the better it is.
Discussions will be slow but it is what it is.

>>106480633
The subreddit you linked is 227k population, is that considered low or high? I'm new to reddit

>>106480633
Reddit isn't worth attempting at all in 2025.

>>106480743
I tried it for a few months while I'm learning to code.

The user base is truly awful. There's more bots and "pls advices on hello world" dark browns than here; meanwhile, the only 1st worlders left from the 2010's center right purges are elitist self loathing new-sneeky-males that manage the perfect blend of unhelpful and unpleasant.

I'll love being called a retarded faggot by someone who actually knows what they're talking about, and has a seems of humor undamaged by over-socialization.

>>106480944
What do you mean first worlder? Capitalist countries in cold war? I'm a second worlder then. I'm a socialist girl

>>106480951
It's used colloquially by casually racist people, like myself, to mean white, white adjacent, or at a minimum strongly white behaving fully assimilated non- whites.

>>106479572 (OP)
Discord obliterated everything on the open net; reddit, 4chan, tumblr, everything. Even Xitter is chilled by it.
Why chat on the clear net when some ai bot or obsessed doxxer will scrape your convos, as well as interject themselves into your business? Why, why bother? Easier discoverability has become a double edged sword to the modern individual.
>But bots and stalkers can scrape discord servers with an invite anyways and discord itself sells your data!
No shit, i never said it was a good solution, or even sustainable, just the victor.
You get video upload, an un-algorithm’d feed (very rare In today’s world), the only ads you get are discord related, and you can instantly chat with local admins if there’s a problem. That makes it way more frictionless than reddit or here.
People follow the path of least friction.
And the path of least friction was using the shady slack clone to rebuild the web’s communities in a slightly more gatekept fashion, whoopedy fucking do.

>>106479572 (OP)
Nope, every place is pretty much dead and so would this one if you excluded the bait posters and brand war threads.

>>106481020
Discord has some of the shallowest conversations i've seen, no doubt caused by the way channels work, if anything i don't think there actually exists an even renotely populated place where people talk about tech in depth anymore.

>>106480633
>The fewer the population, the better it is.
thats one reason why lainchan is nice. its not too bad having a bunch of smaller forums as opposed to one bigger one but you lose a sense of community

>>106480951
based

surely there are some altchans that are active
heck maybe some ancient vbulletin firums

>>106479572 (OP)
Usually if you have to ask questions like this you weren't invited in the first place and those people would rather you stay here with the rabble.

>>106479572 (OP)
Just talk to an LLM. This board is a microcosm of the current internet's problems: its full of schizos and smug retards. Not even worthwhile reading their opinions about anything. The internet is dead, don't bother. Read docs and talk to AI.

>>106480973
Oh I'm also racist. I don't mind whites though, they're just weird with their obsession of gifting me things. I'd rather learn from them lol

>>106481106
What if you don't have patience and want to rely on it for friendships rather than slow posting?

>>106481020
I hate discord, full of gooners. Not a good place to learn

>>106481115
>invited
It's my first time going out of my closed social network of 6 friends. There's no way anybody woulda invited me if I made sure I can't be found. Although I'm pretty sure whoever does would appreciate my cuteness.

>>106481083
Tech is no longer owned by the people.

>>106481154
LLMs are what made me lonely

>>106481164
i dont know honestly. irc maybe? it feels like the internet is going back into hiding, everything becoming private again since anything public is flooded with ai slop

What’s your smartypants LLM do when you input OP’s question?
When i input it into gemini it mentioned plebbit three times KEK.

>>106481208
I mean they didn't take what you already had did they?

>>106481234
Why don't anons just make a closed community with human verification?

>>106481247
They did.

i gave up asking /g/ or anywhere else for questions
>ask question
its either
>no reply ever
>sarcastic/troll reply
>some schizo shows up and goes off about jews/jeets
>some guy 6 hours later gives me the answer
now when i have a question i just ask an ai
it just werks

>>106481255
Did they go into your house and steal your hardware?

>>106481251
>Lets make the Tea app 2 electric boogaloo
The closed community your thinking of is discord, btw.

>>106481251
Because it's closed

>>106480237
>t. schizo

>>106481260
How many times I have to answer this question? Yes, they did.

>>106481270
this
discord has literally solved every problem brought up in this thread
i am in several high end tech and hardware discords
its comfy

>>106481288
What all was stolen?

>>106481257
LLMs cannot replace human companionship. Although you're a furry it can easily replace you.

>>106481294
My computer and all my old HDDs.

>>106481291
Give me an invite anon

>>106481257
You're schizo

>>106481277
Wow genius

>>106481303
Did you store illegal stuff in them?

>>106481257
In my experience LLMs are just as low quality as a rambling reddit response 99% of the time. (Because that’s what they’re trained on.)
However there is a neat lil usage for ai and that’s to use them as an offline reference tool to replace web searches.
AI is like a lossy compression of the internet, so it gives me great pleasure to search up my personal itinerary offline rather than give up that data to the search engine botnets who would have had me arrive at a similar reddit ramble anyways.
The biggest problem is that the data on local models is almost always outdated.
I wish i could easily download up to date easy to use data packages for my llm bot, i would even pay money for them if they’re of a good enough quality.

>>106481339
No. Only my work, corpo claimed it was their work.

>>106481341
How much would it cost to run AI locally?

>>106481306
no
i don't want 4channers shitting up my comfy discords

>>106481296
that's where you are wrong
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/
>>106481341
local models are a joke compared to gemini 2.5 pro or gpt5
sorry anon i wish it wasn't the case but local models are basically unusable

>>106481349
Price of a 16GB or greater VRAM graphics card + LMstudio basically.
Though they have been making some newer iddy bity models designed to run on potatoes and phones you can play around with.

>>106481346
Did you cry after they were taken away? Be honest.

>>106481346
Was it a "I did some side projects on company time so the company treats it as their own property" kind of deal?

>>106481375
I'm the oldest engineer of the company.

>>106481375
actually by most american law any work you do while employed belongs to the company
its pretty bullshit but its true

Good threads still get good replies, even here on /g/. This thread is not good.
That said I will never use discord, even it were better (it isn't). I'd rather just work on my own shit; the internet is overrated.

>>106481234
I don't ask LLMs that question because I don't intend to use an "internet community" which is a hall of mirrors filled with schizos, bots, retards and paid/unpaid shills. Its a waste of time at best and a cognitive hazard at worst.

Stop talking to people you don't know on the internet. They aren't your friends. They aren't helping your life. They don't know or care about you. Talk to people irl. The internet is full of falsehood and malicious actors.

Depends on the subject. Reddit has better moderation.

>>106481495

There was an anon posting about an old ass computer whose owner died.
Some threads on how to improve the site with some interesting takes.
Some funny threads like the retardia icon pack (not exactly high level discussion, but a good thread).
Generals still have knowledgeable people.
You should just make a good thread instead of whining next time.
>>106481535
Should've said I'll never use it again.

>>106481522
Linux vs Mac.
Anything about memory safety.
The ai generals are pretty great.
The ai generals are pretty good.
Vim vs Emacs.
Weekly new linux distros that mog all preexisting distros.
Spending 7 years talking about $300 keyboards is decent way to use a $300 keyboard.
New hipster languages, that use bizarre syntax and grammar, and have zero libraries are going to replace C++ as soon as everyone becomes as smart as me.
The ai generals are bad and ai is replacing plumbers in 2 more weeks.

My personal favorite though: the 15 empty internet theory/ brown internet theory threads posted by 15 different humans that are lonely, but too cool to talk to the other 14 humans who posted empty internet threads.

>>106481531
Most of the time you're simply expected to act like a normal human being.

Kissing someones feet is not acting like a normal human being. On reddit you are supposed to be part of an hivemind and If you give a different opinion you get downvoted and banned.

>>106481580
>The ai generals are pretty great.
>The ai generals are pretty good.
Yeah until the storm fag comes in and start "baiting". That being said it's a 'workman' thread so it's going to be better.

>>106481603
>anons "different opinion" is that some people shouldn't have rights
>wtf why am i banned and downvoted??

>>106481603
If you don't have anything meaningful to say it's better not to post.

>>106481618
>some people shouldn't have rights
When did I say that maybe I am memory hole'd?

>>106480951

All girls are socialist. We're supposed to ignore you unless you have birth to us, or have birth to our children.

Fag sneaky males are running around out there nowadays validating retardation in desperate hopes of (you) becoming the latter despite nothing dying up a vagina quicker than some dude who's way deep into chick shit/ ideas.

>>106480633
Reddit is good if you like particularly effeminate porn,want people(redditors or bots) to agree with you or the occasional web search on a niche discussion, ideally with less than 15 replies

>>106481587
It's the price you pay for freedom, I suppose. I was thinking about making an extension for OPs to let them moderate their own threads, but I'm not sure if it's worth doing. Sometimes threads evolve in a good way.

>>106481620
>If you don't have anything meaningful to say it's better not to post.
I never post on reddit but each time I get a link or do research and that end to me going to reddit it always ends with me getting very mad because I see people making completely false statements that can be researched on google within like 3 minutes and they keep getting upvoted and anybody that goes against the shit OP or some other guy says get's downvoted and hidden or even banned.

>>106481632

This, any discord chats except the most niche/small-community ones are just competing for attention simulator, at best you get a few-messages-long convo, and usually it's just people spamming whatever hoping it sticks and the mentioned happens.
