Doesn't even make sense. It's throwing away free screen real estate by having fonts that blurry, since you have to zoom in for the terminals to be usable.

Luckily Konsole has it covered, but I wish I could use a "cutting edge" terminal like Kitty instead. But oh well.

Or, best known to others as being the guy that made Gravity Google way back when.

6) is especially important. I think any time you feel the desire to continuously ask followup questions to AI, because you're genuinely curious about a topic in a subject, you should follow it. These moments are free learning! You get information that doesn't feel like "study" but rather "I need this burning question answered!" Getting nerdsniped by a topic and dialoguing with an LLM about it should totally be encouraged.

I still find search results pretty good, if you use a tool like uBlacklist on DuckDuckGo. I prefer them to AI at times, as AI homogenises things.

Conversely, AI is doing the opposite of destroying my informal computer study. I've gone from a windows 10 user who "always wanted to learn computers", to someone who knows a little bit of HTML, CSS, JS, some rust, and linux's bash now. AI has been a great tutor for that. It seems I love learning about computers, but that the docs that teach how they work have never been that great (for beginners).

I think you can make an uncensored place if you have a "doing" place rather than an "entertainment" place.

Hackernews and Lesswrong (whatever you think of Lesswrong is irrelevant) seem to be free from chuds because they don't really appeal to them. The barrier to entry is too high. You have to care about topics that are boring to most people. Styleforum is like that too. I guess these places do have some moderation, but it seems much less intensive than what is required of reddit.

People seem upset that forums are gone, but if you want sanely/laxly moderated places, a forum seems a good call imo.

on rdrama? that website's insane. i think its strategy to moderation is to make people ironically roleplay as their political opposition... which just seems to make everyone ironic edgelords. using rdrama makes me sad.
