I was always more of an MSN Messenger guy. But the Open OSCAR Server project is a fantastic labor of love stewarded by a kind soul. They put up with (if not were outright amused at) me digging up the weirdest 3rd party clients I could [1] a

Y'know with the exception of being run over with tanks (yet) I wasn't sure which side you were describing. Freedom of speech only exists on paper. One side screeches about "cancel culture" but then hides behind it to moc

That's a deliberate misreading of events but okay :)

That's quite a disingenuous response to something I said with citations and no direct stated opinions on the person. Be better

Why remind people of the lies? We all knew they were lies. And the people who believed the lies will not have their minds changed There's a 30% bedrock of America that appears to be simply broken beyond repair. That's his perman

Given who founded Xlibre (Metux) has some... interesting history (he was banned from the X.org project due to poor code quality and practices [1]) I would say no Metux himself also has some "fascinating" takes as archived from ot

If someone says "the sky is blue" and someone else says "actually the sky is polka dots!" are you going to ask for citations from both?

That's a strange take. But okay He also wrote the book "Public Opinion" in 1922 [1] which explained how the US mass media apparatus could be used to influence the common man. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

The Commodore chunk of retro computing is an extremely small pond. Of which he's an obnoxiously loud voice due to his youtube presence. Much to the chagrin of most of them (and most of us who orbit the greater "retro computing hob

Right, I forgot to bleat about how he was a (literal stand-in!) for Hayden Christensen on Star Wars. [1] He got a bunch of old hats to sign their name to...what, exactly. A C64 on an FPGA? That he tried to lock down before getting backlash

I've less than zero love for Commodore stuff, I'll admit up front. Even as a retro computing enthusiast and computer historian I think the adoration that Commodore (both the C64 and Amiga) get far outweighs any practical reasoning

Careful now. For some reason celebrating not using the slop machine attracts a lot of negative attention. There's no room for dissent against the slop bot for some reason

by CursedSilicon 2mo ago
Actually, one of the larger youtubers is currently facing massive backlash from his own community because all his projects are done by the slop machine :) The great thing about retro computing is we want to see what people come up with. N

You seem either deliberately or functionally unable to grasp the premise of why anyone would do this (or reject LLM's) I suggest instead you go read up on why people dislike them and gain a more well-rounded and nuanced understanding o

What a bizarre take Many people refuse to use LLM's for various reasons that I don't need to rehash here

Can you provide citations for this? The original Xash3D engine is listed as open source on ModDB

by CursedSilicon 2mo ago
At least in retro spaces there's a lot of rejection of using AI to do things. Half-Life (and the later Source engine games such as Half-Life 2 and Portal) were ported without LLM assistance however (Source: I am in the Discord where
