Reply in thread
Last time I looked at the list, It's mostly an imported list of horrible mastodon/pleroma instances, not Lemmy servers, and seemed reasonable to me. Go take a look at a few.

Some system load graphs of last 24h
I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it "full" like that.

TracingWoodgrains launches a defense of Manifest's controversial reputation, all without betraying a basic understanding of what the word "controversial" means.
TracingWoodgrains seems to have developed, in the process of leaving mormonism, an obsession with seeking out contrarianism. But more importantly, he openly admits to being racist/HBD "align[s] broadly with informed experts that the distribution of genetic traits associated with intelligence is non-zero" and "questions of genetics and IQ, including when it comes to group differences, are worth taking seriously". As such, he only considers it "racism" if it's "racial crassness and antagonism".
In which TW names who he thinks is treating the topic with the seriousness it demands without sinking to crassness: our good good friend Cremieux.

Bold to post this in a thread about how it had many many imperfections and what it outputs has to be manually reworked by humans, still.

"disorderly cities are required by the state religion"
When they are absolutely sure the tweet will not escape containment, they will just take assumptions like "a certain percentage of people has incurable Criminal Mind" as given and go from there.

I think he is trying to say something like "non-zero skew", but really, he just means "I subscribe to race science, but only for the articles".

That tracing woodgrains peice on David Gerard is out

Trace RTs someone hoping aloud that his nonsense gets laundered by an RS, then breathlessly reports on his literal transparent brigade getting unbanned using a very strained appeal to WP:AGF, so I am starting to get a picture of his end-goal.

These videos are, of course, suspiciously cut to avoid showing all the times it completely fucked up, and still shows the engine completely fucking up.
The training data was definitely stolen from https://dsdarchive.com/, right?
it’s interesting that the only real “hallucination” I can see in the video pops up when the player shoots an enemy, which results in some blurry feedback animations
Well, good news for the author, it's time for him to replay doom because it's clearly been too long.
