3/15/26 - Prepare for The Great Thaw.

Thank YOU for… (Gestures around) everything!

Reddit greatly benefitted from the DIGG implosion (Reasons include issues with power users, censorship, redesigns, etc.) around I want to say 2012 +/-. Similar to how this site benefitted from the Reddit API implosion the other year. For social media applications, success usual comes from a halfway-decent platform + lucky timing. (This is all from memory, so apologies for any inaccuracies and generalizations.)

Once again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It looks like I have some weekend projects to look forward to.

Thank you very much! These all looks very interesting and I’m excited to try them out.

I’ve never quantized a model before (I usually find pre-quantized versions) but I would love to learn how. If you can provide the command-line details for doing so, or point me towards a good resource, that would rock!

Can you name-drop any recommended DM fine tunes? Anytime I try to do model research I end up down rabbit holes and very confused…

Appreciated!

I do gamble every day - it’s called driving.

Thank you for the additional context and links!

Creator of Freeman’s Mind, Civil Protection, Ross’ Game Dungeon, and Dead Game News. Generally short humerous videos focused on video games and the industry. Accursed Farms is his website with all his content. He started the Stop Killing Games movement.

Same! The next step is watching his monthly proof-of-life video chats while working on other stuff 😅

I don’t know about others, but when I get home it’s, “Do we have any plans or obligations for the rest of the day?” If no, the pants come off until I’m forced to leave again.

You are a superstar, much appreciated!

Thank you for the nuance. Bad data and hyperbole doesn’t help what I agreed is a serious issue.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil

Seconded for Connect - I started using it after the API induced exodus and haven’t looked back since. I have no idea how it compares to other apps, but I have no complaints!

Cops? Probably not. The FBI and/or some other intelligence department? Probably.

Walkabout is the only thing I use my Quest 3 for, and I love it. I play every week with my friends around the country and it’s a perfect venue to socialize and have a blast mini-golfing. I joke that I have a $3 a month golf membership because I buy every new course that comes out (Usually ~1 a month) and it’s easily worth it. If you like the Labyrinth vibes you should try Meowwolf, easily my favorite.

TheDude, you are an amazing human being and your efforts enrich many lives, thank you!

People change at the speed of convenience. They are generally willing to put up with a convenient shitty product over being inconvenienced. And yes, switching to a superior product is often an inconvenience.

Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!
