This is all entirely Michael’s fault because he refuses to have anything resembling of a moderation.
Use adblockers. Never give him any of your precious money. He doesn’t deserve a single penny of it.
Edit: Fun fact: Karol also stopped visiting Phoronix forums a fair bit of time ago. GEE, I wonder what caused it to happen?
The Unix Haters Handbook was so real for that rm rant.
But of course, there is an Emacs command to do that.
Good ol’ C-x M-c M-butterfly!
desktopd here we goooooooooo
The result? A perfectly valid and valuable technology has been completely disregarded by the public
No. Stop. If blockchain, nfts, etc. had actual merit over what we already have rn, they would be used everywhere. But ever since the inception of the og blockchain, they do not. Because there is not a single actual use case of them that isn’t already done (and done better) by other tech.
So stop this “oh it was good, just misunderstood” nonsense. It was never good, and never will be.
What AI does lands more on “tracing” side than “referencing” side though
And that said one guy is actually an alt account of someone who was banned a long time ago, so the guy is literally evading a ban, and yet Michael is doing jack shit about it. Guess it works on his end as it is “hurr durr interaction”.
I feel like as long as there is money to be gained from it (be it via clicks or whatever), these people will stay.
So you gotta, in video game terms, “hit the boss on its weakpoint”.
What also grinds my gears is that one guy in there who ban evaded twice, everyone else knows who they are, yet they still remain on the forums to this day. If that doesn’t tell anybody that that site has a serious moderation problem, I don’t know what will.
