This state fucking reeks.
Re:Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is generic and boring on Tuesday February 17, 2026 @04:10PM (#47053403)
Yeah I started seeing it too, the article is just full of AI clues.
The issue is that it's yet another platform that could leak your data? Why would you ever want to increase that chance?

Also, I'm not sure you would need to give discord your ID unless you're sending porn in your work chat or something.

I just can't enjoy reading something so obviously AI generated. Write it yourself.
Re:Wayland Nvidia: Your Complete 2025 Fix for a Broken Desktop on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @11:49AM (#46220045)
I know it's also me that's the issue. But I just want a Linux distro that works. I've had enough of people saying "Nvidia has been getting so much better recently!" and "It's completely usable now!" when the newest drivers break my whole experience. I would use arch, and have tried about 5 times, but it's too complicated to get the driver I need and I won't even bother at this point. I've just accepted the fact that I'm going to use Mint until I get a desktop. Maybe I'll try to get help on a forum somewhere but idk, I think I would need personal help.

Yes, the laptop screen works fine but my external monitor connected to my gpu seems to run at about 10 fps when it should be 120.
Several people have killed themselves because of AI chatbots encouraging it or becoming personal echo chambers. Why? Why are we doing this!?

Well, you could just turn off unnecessary notifications like I do, same with emails. I get like 3 notifications a day on average now, and most of those are just dms from friends.
I was able to read it perfectly while using uBlock.
My "gaming" laptop is completely effed on most distributions, and forces me to use Linux Mint to select an older driver (which also causes problems.)
I hate that people even have to consider this now... Learn it yourself!
You put this through an LLM too, didn't you..

Want some advice? Do something NOT related to AI that actually contributes so society instead of just flooding the internet with more AI generated content. YOU are the kind of people that fuel the dead internet theory. The people that are responsible for me and many other people absolutely hating the modern internet. Use your skill on something meaningful and unique! AI spam tools are the last thing we want more of.

AI is the future, guys!

There are some reviews like LTT that talk about it's impact. I'm not sure about the subtle movement though. I think they're lowering the quality to what your peripheral vision is already, so I don't think it would effect anything negatively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU3ru09HTng

You are also definitely an outlier. In my experience, Linux has been 5x as stable as Windows (and more performant, too). SteamOS is just Arch Linux with the KDE desktop, the actual desktop stability wont be different from the same setup on a normal PC.

> has a narrower field of view.

On the beyond 2, only by 2 degrees horizontally. I don't think that would even be noticeable.
