  • Anyone here remember when Raspberry Pis were affordable? Good times.

  • Are you even reading the criticisms people are making, or just asking an LLM to generate responses for you? Or have you developed brain damage as a result of so much LLM usage? Those are the most charitable explanations for your behavior here, because you seem to be incapable of understanding the criticisms. This has nothing to do with "effort".

    When I said you should seek a mental health professional, that wasn't a joke. Some people might say that as a joke, but I wasn't. AI psychosis is a serious thing we don't fully understand yet. From my perspective, you're just an annoying Lemmy user/possible troll, which is easy to ignore. But if you're not just trolling, then you're probably damaging your health and/or relationships for a very stupid reason.

  • Honestly it’s a pretty well written

    It was not written

    I certainly would try and judge it for its content

    I'm not falling for this engagement bait, and I'm certainly not providing free fact checking for AI generated crap

    Personally I think the author overstates...

    There is no author, and there are no statements; this is junk text auto generated by someone who doesn't understand the subject matter trying to bait people to drive SEO traffic so they can make money from ads and/or scams

  • Fuck off with your emdashes you dirty clanker

  • I'm not the guy you replied to, but what's the point being made? It really does sound like they're trying to say pay to play prevents cheaters.

  • i generally think i do well.

    What are some of your engineering or research accomplishments? Where is your linkedin or github profile showing projects before ~2022?

    i worked with cryptography long before AI

    What kind of work did you do with cryptography? It couldn't have been much if you don't see what's wrong with what you're doing. "I set up LetsEncrypt on a web server" doesn't count as experience.

    Any answer you provide to these questions are worthless unless you're willing to reveal your identity here. That's the only way to build any credibility, and without credibility nobody should trust you with something like this.

    this is something i work on because its enjoyable to me

    No, this is something you're working on because you're hoping to make money from it. I remember you posting about this project some months ago and you mentioned as much. If it isn't AI psychosis, then it's a grift and you're a snake oil salesman. Idk what you're expecting to hear? This is a programming community; it's probably the last place you'll get positive feedback for this obvious trainwreck.

  • I think you need to speak to a mental health specialist, because AI psychosis can be really destructive. We all have problems, but using chat bots to make us feel better is dangerous for you and those around you, even if it feels good in the moment. These bots are designed to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you become addicted to them.

    I'm going to guess you didn't accomplish much as a software engineer before AI? The personal deficiencies at the core of that are still there even if you use AI to tell you otherwise. I won't speculate what those deficiencies are, but I just want you to engage in some honest introspection. Absolutely nobody will trust someone like you to handle such a sensitive topic like cryptography. Stop wasting your short time on this earth on something so stupid. Go make literally anything else.

  • Imagine you're having a conversation with a stranger. He seems cool, you guys share some interests, even some controversial opinions. You two are on track to becoming friends! ...But then right before the convo ends, he starts talking about how the earth is flat, and flouride in the water supply is a CIA conspiracy to make frogs gay.

    That is the same visceral reaction I get when I read a sentence like this:

    When I last wrote about my experience with CachyOS, I bemoaned the absence of the Arc browser.

  • That risk is yet another reason to impeach his ass come November

  • modern sdl doesn’t change much of sdl 1.2?

    I''ve only ever used sdl 2 and 3, but I've encountered 1.2 code in the wild. APIs are going to be different, but big picture stuff is mostly similar. If you learn how to use one version, it shouldn't be too difficult to switch.

  • You should start with C before going into C++. This is because C is the simplest possible language that exposes you to pointers and memory management. That's the most important foundational skill you need in low level languages like this.

    You could learn memory management using C++, but there are a lot of distractions, and the modern features designed to make memory management easier may make it harder/confusing for someone starting at the beginning.

    My advice: follow a modern tutorial for C and SDL (on your PC, not that N95), and use it to make a simple game or UI with SDL's drawing API. Actually aim to finish something (even if it sucks) and you'll learn a lot.

  • Okay I see what you're trying to say, but calling it "Nazi propaganda" is inaccurate and confusing. Just because a Nazi said something doesn't mean it's Nazi propaganda. That's just confusing.

    Also, as someone who actually liked what Biden was doing a lot (specifically, his attack on monopolists/billionaires through the FTC and DOJ), I do believe he was senile. I'm not a doctor, but he showed clear signs of what many of us have seen in our own aging family members.

    Ofc, Trump is senile too, but also insane, stupid, evil, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. Neither him nor Biden should've been running.

  • Is that true, or did you make that up? It doesn't make sense, since there's no reason Obama couldn't have appointed a female judge.

  • That might be true, but as someone less than half that age I sure as fuck do not want a 64 year old representing me in Congress.

  • I think "decimal" is a loaner word in European, as it's yet another thing America invented. Don't laugh at them for being slow on the uptake.

  • It's funny to think that Whiskey Pete may have cost the US military access to the most powerful cyber warfare tool in history all because he's an incompetent drunkard and immature man-child. But I also don't want to be giving these AI companies the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to marketing claims.

  • He couldn't even write the blog post himself. Why even get up in the morning at that point? Just stay in bed for your remaining human lifespan if you're not going to use it for anything.

  • This is good. A lot of projects from mega corps to indie devs would be in big trouble if SDL turned into AI slop.

  • The sponsor of this bill is Josh Gottheimer. Ballotpedia says the Democratic primary is on June 2, but doesn't list any challengers. If you're a local, maybe you know if he has a challenger?

    In any case, do the following if you live there:

    • Add "fire Josh Gottheimer" to your calendar for both June 2 2026, and November 3 2026
    • Send him a letter/email explaining why this issue is important enough for you to vote Republican if it goes through, and maybe include a screenshot of that calendar entry just for fun

    If enough people send a message like that, he'll hopefully work to kill it.

    If you don't live in New Jersey, write and send a similar letter/email to your own representative. If you're a Republican, say you'll be willing to vote Democrat instead.

    Regardless, what you shouldn't do is bitch and complain on the internet to strangers on the internet.

    Congress people are mostly tech illiterate and willing to eat whatever bull$hit big tech lobbysits feed them. They are not, however, stupid enough to ignore constituents who are angry enough to send them a letter. Why? Because most Americans only ever vote in presidential elections, so the population of people who will vote in a midterm (much less a primary) is very small. Going through the effort to write an email (or mail a physical letter) is a strong signal that you are one of those people who will get their ass out to the polls on election day and hurt their chances.
