  • At this point, trading card collecting and grading. Oh, a new series of trading cards for pokemon or yu-gi-oh or whatever dropped? Time for all the adults to buy out every single card in the store and then run home in hopes that their scam leaders like PSA will encourage their behavior by gracing them with a card they claim is worth money despite only being out for less than a week.

    Card grading ain’t nothing but a scam, cult, and great way to encourage the worst in people, while simultaneously gatekeeping trading cards from everyone with more than 2 braincells. Ain’t nothing gonna change my mind about it.





  • Just based on the article headline alone, if it’s anywhere near as bad as the headline, you know those kids are gonna get into the real world and already be leagues behind everyone else. They’re gonna eventually “write” a letter to their dad about how much they hate him for what he did, but the dad isn’t gonna know whether it’s AI generated or written by their own kid. The kids are gonna be so incapable of doing everything themselves and so reliant on AI that they can’t even think for themselves and use an AI whenever a simple question comes up. Even just basic “what’s your name?” type stuff.

    I hope I’m wrong and the parent is actually gonna intervene and help the kids learn that AI is a hallucinatory nightmare that is more wrong than right in many real world scenarios and applications. I hope the parent isn’t just letting them learn literally everything from the AI and enforcing the belief that the AI is more competent and knowledgeable than a professional in a specific field of study.











  • If we’re talking PC applications, I have been starting to use Strawberry Music Player a lot more than before for the audio files on my desktop and laptop.

    For android, it’s a tie between the 2 most used apps outside of Voyager: Auxio and PipePipe.

    Auxio messed up some things a long while ago, causing some of my songs on my SD card that would previously work perfectly in app to be unable to display how much time is left in a song, select specific moments, or even how long the audio file is in a very rare case. But overall just works fine enough for my local music playback needs.

    PipePipe is nice enough. If yt Revanced refuses to let me play a video while in “incognito” mode, then I can just boot it up in this NewPipe fork. Also nice for the very niche time I wanna watch a video from NicoNico/NicoDouga ( Japanese video hosting platform ) because the person has the upload on there and no other official way of viewing it.


  • I could think of a few historic figures I would love to see be smothered in their cradle, but I think of it’s a one way trip, I’m going to get PDFs with just about everything I would ever need to know about programming in older versions of various languages, burn them to CDs, then return to the early 90s.

    My hope would be, assuming I could take the CDs with me, that I could spend time becoming someone known specifically for making good quality software that helps people. Then when people on windows get attached to that software, pull the rig by saying that, maybe around the late 2000s, all my software will now be only available on Linux. I’d hope to create such high quality software, with the help of any other lunatics I could find, that nobody else can compete. A sort of VLC is the best, or at the very least probably the most used, video player around the world sort of software. Get entrenched and then force a shakeup.

    Bonus points on me bringing proof I’m from the future, if I could, to ensure I could get people to believe me. Something like my soft modded 3DS. Also, bonus points if I bring CDs with PDFs for future versions of things like Python and other languages and such so we could stay ahead of the curb.

    Some real techno elitist type stuff if I had to say so myself.
