The cynical view of America’s educational system—that it is merely a means by which privileged co-eds can make the right connections, build “social capital,” and get laid—is obviously on full display here.
Cynical? I call that realistic. That's what privileged co-eds have been using it for the past 100 years.
I'm not following SO practices, but I it will come for it as well. It's inevitable. Those who paid billions for it will require a ROI
I don't think it's anywhere near that bad to be honest.
and not using anything that identifies the universe.
Well, to be fair, it does have stormtroopers and they do say "may the force be with you" to each other.
Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?
reddit.com
Yes, it's what I was referring to in the second part.
"Free to use" on a VC-backed service just means you're the product. I am accusing them of the same thing I'm accusing each VC-backed service: That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.
Also, what do you mean "easily downloadable"? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?
The need for the service that SO provided won't go away. Eventually people will migrate to new places to discuss. LLM creators will either constantly scrape those as well, forcing them to implement more and more countermeasures and GenAI-poison, or the services themselves will enshittify and sell our content (i.e. the commons) to LLM-creators.
Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before)
Did you continue using your account only on that device? If so, did you continue using reddit logged-out on your main device at the same time?
Never again will I help provide content to a VC-backed service just so that they can rugpull us and cash-out.

Oof, what a journey this was. It took us a while to finally reach the Void. We had to fight and finally compromise with the trans flag folk who thought we were vandalizing when we were trying to pass through, then our planned path ended up being blocked by the massive English flag which setup shop in the middle forcing us to take the long way around, then we took a little detour to setup a naval battle and show England who's boss, at which point some cheeky Spanish bastard, stepped in and stole our ship's pirate flag. Then as we finally were nearing the Void, a cat butler (catler?) and yet another flag manifested and...
...well long story short, by the time we reached the Void, let's just say it's not anymore what it used to be, we touched one of its tendrils and it started popping leaves, so we left it at that!
I'm now focused on thickening the Haidra tendril to at least 2 pixels everywhere, and once that's done I'm starting a new path towards the bottom left to see what else we can touch.
Join me, or start your own journeys and remember to spread our pirate ships wherever we go!
PS: Thanks to @[email protected] for the rubber duckie on the factorio cog. Very cute!

Great job mates on touching the piracy banner made by @[email protected]. I planted another little pirate ship on top of it (feel free to improve the scene).
I have a new quest and a sidequest for y'all now.
First, let's go touch tendrils with the void and plant a pirate ship on it as well. Optimally I'd like to see a little tendril helix develop.
Sidequest: the Factorio gear now has a nice little "lake" where we've passed. Anyone up to drawing a little rubber duckie in there?

I started the little pixel ship yesterday on top of the haidra extremity, and today I found out it encountered a kraken. Well done to @[email protected] for adding that.
In other news, we managed to touch the center of the board, and now the canvas has extended, so it's time to move to the other side as well
I would like to try and get a tentacle going up from the right, to touch the piracy banner @[email protected] created! Feel free to add more doodads on the line as well! Likewise, if you have ideas about how the haidra should behave, just go ahead and do it, this is a bottom-up design and I love to see how it extends organically as well.
Re: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23907738
We got a cute little garden in the process too!
Next objective, start drawing a 2 pixel line from our central head towards towards the center where the void and the pony rays meet. I want us to be the fourth connection.
Do not overwrite other creations and feel free to curve around like a tentacle as needed.
As always if you feel there's any improvements you can make on the centrale logo pixel wise, let us know. I would love a little pirate ship somewhere.
Go to this URL and help us make a presence for Haidra and by extension /0 as well!

If you're wondering how this fits the instance theme, I invite you to check out this critical reading, which is what inspired the name
The template position is on the bottom right
You will need to login. Once you do, lower the opacity of the template, and place some pixels where there's none
EDIT: Changed position to bottom right as it feels more natural to grow from the bottom up. I also increased its size/fidelity a bit since we had a bit more space there
Also monster train 2,just came out.
For solo boardgames, it really depends on its age, but if old enough to play complex ones, there's some ones with almost infinite replayability. Spirit island, Dune Imperium, mage Knight, voidfall.
