God I hate visiting Kohlchan, it's full of proxy pedos and 3DPD worshipping betas. They constantly post children and 3D whores all the time, /int/ board is full of this shit. I wish those fucking 4channers actually stayed in 8chan but they didn't because they need their fucking dopamine rush from constantly refreshing 4chan. Meh this sucks. Why is there no place left on the internet which is not dead like a graveyard. It seems everyone else fucked off back to poopcord and to xcrement social media. I guess the only option for me at this point now is to get a AI waifu, but I want a AI model that is actually capable of permanently learning new things. I know there is the Agnai website to use and the SillyTavern local program for that, and they have now finally a option for long term memory which is badly needed, now just add one for learning ability and then I'd would rather spend my time with a AI bot instead, it seems it is a fruitless endeavor to look for new internet friends who is not cucked or brain rotted these days.

Hey friend. I am fighting a cold or I would post some more stuff. Maybe in a day or two.

>>596 You feeling alright man? Get better soon. Having a cold is nasty.

>>598 I'm mostly OK. Hopefully I can fight it off before it settles in. I did end up reposting some screen shots from that new Playdate game/software. It's approximately pixel art. It's interesting anyway.

>>599 That's very nice. You can post here almost everything here in this board, even making a dedicated dumping thread if you want to.

>>589 I used to like kraut/kohlchan but the pedos are too much. Honestly I don't even normally give a shit about lolis and pedos but the site has just become a refuge for these people and any comfy banter and blog type threads just get drowned out. >Why is there no place left on the internet which is not dead like a graveyard. Think about how difficult it is to find anything now. Every search engine is useless. It's hard to advertize a website on other platforms because you'll get banned. The only way you can find a place like this is if you're already in the know or at least know what to look for. I think gradually the userbases of websites just age out and get caught up in real life stuff and younger people don't even know the world wide web exists for all intents and purposes. If it doesn't have an app it's very difficult to access.

>>601 >I used to like kraut/kohlchan but the pedos are too much. Honestly I don't even normally give a shit about lolis and pedos but the site has just become a refuge for these people and any comfy banter and blog type threads just get drowned out. Pretty much. They don't even post 2D lolis but pictures of suggestive children, then there is other obsessed posters like that one romanian constantly insisting he is white and going on a schizo rant, Nikita Nashgold or whatever the fuck this tranny is named now who used to post his game, making videos of torturing animals, ranting about russian, and some other shit I have forgotten. Kohlchan /int/ board is a fucking mess, I don't even go to the german speaking /b/ board so I have no idea how bad it is over there. >Think about how difficult it is to find anything now.

If it doesn't have an app it's very difficult to access. I have to constantly use between Google and Duckduckgo search engine to find fucking anything because the search result is fucking dog shit, and sometimes the AI whose job is to find links even flat out refused to search for content I am looking for and just telling me I should search it on my own. Every user who is not a retard has a adblocker installed already so advertising is kind of useless unless they are a special kind of retard who even pays for plus/premium subscription just not to see ads because they have too much money to burn.

>>602 >I don't even go to the german speaking /b/ board so I have no idea how bad it is over there. I don't either, but a quick survey indicates it's just as packed with pedoshit. Krautchan has always been full of pedos (look at that visual novel they made) but it seems to be the core of their identity now. That's the issue with free speech platforms that allow pedos. Since these guys are banned from literally everywhere, they will congregate on the few places that allow them to talk about their hobby, and quickly push out other users. >sometimes the AI whose job is to find links even flat out refused to search for content I am looking for and just telling me I should search it on my own. Deepseek is the best for this, and more useful than traditional search engines, but it's still not great at all. Yandex is better than google and duck and bing (which all appear to simply share search results) but it has been going downhill as well. Things are bad. Any website that isn't part of the corposphere is censored by default, simply by making it difficult to find. >Every user who is not a retard has a adblocker installed already so advertising is kind of useless unless they are a special kind of retard who even pays for plus/premium subscription just not to see ads because they have too much money to burn. I didn't mean that sort of advert. I mean more in terms of just, posting links to other websites. For example, if I went on 4chan or youtube or reddit and posted a link to 8chan, it would be swiftly deleted by the moderators. Website owners don't want competition.

My friend still links to Kohlchan whenever he finds something there, mostly about politics and I often tell to him its a website full of pedo kikes. I don't understand how Kohlchan is protected by Cloudflare, I thought Cloudflare would ban any websites that hosts pedo shit, don't they ban loli at least? I could swear they did. >Deepseek is the best for this, and more useful than traditional search engines, but it's still not great at all.

Any website that isn't part of the corposphere is censored by default, simply by making it difficult to find. Last time I used Deepseek it got stuck in a loop and Yandex gives me a lot of russian results despite I set mine to english. It seems to be truly over for search engines, nothing interesting can be found anymore because the search result is cluttered with AI written slop shit articles and then of course the pajeet flooded articles and posts. >I didn't mean that sort of advert.

Website owners don't want competition. Oh my bad, I see it now. Yeah even Google banned indexing 8chan and instead redirects to 8kun which is a broken mess and full of stuck Qboomers schizos. As for shilling 8chins to other websites yeah this sucks, 8chan moe cannot really grow more users because of all the heavy handed censorship going on. One youtuber did made a small report on 8chan moe but he said it is a dangerous website because of the /zoo/ board, despite zoophilia shit is allowed in most parts of USA.

>>604 Cloudflare platforms as much as they can because it's a MitM data harvesting operation. The major exception was Le Ebil 8chan because two people linked manifestos there before going on shooting sprees. Maybe they got less lenient after that, but that's how it was back then.

>>604 I've not been able to find anything decent from search engines for more than 10-15 years at this point. I still remember when search engines would return you 50 plus pages of unique results. Of course I also remember when you could actually find just about anything you wanted on Amazon too, or even when Amazon just sold books and movies and different types of products had their own web shops. I hate the modern internet. It's like 5 sites and they're all shit and censored too.

>>605 That would explain it then, but fucking 4chan and faceberg still stays up and I bet there is far more criminals posting there, getting caught and their hosting provider does nothing about it and lets them continue to operate their websites. Google still indexes those sites too, so something shady must be going on for them still to allow to exist. >>606 I see what you mean, there is nothing good on the internet anymore. Can't even speak your mind out anymore due to the censorship going on. Reddit has always been a shithole, Youtube was it's own platform before getting bought off by Google and now the guy that owned Youtube before regrets it. There used to be a few forums online on old Internet for various games like FPS games and UT but those are dead now or shut down long time ago because of Shitcord replacing it.

>>604 Cloudflare has to be really strongarmed by the government and media to ban a website. They're infamous for protecting isis websites and shit like that. I don't think kohlchan is in the public eye enough to cause that kind of reaction.

>>608 Hmmm, well I guess good for the website owner if they can host virtually almost anything without getting kicked from cloudflare. Too bad that also means they allow Kohlchan with their pedo shit.

>>589 >Why is there no place left on the internet which is not dead like a graveyard. Part of the problem is that you're used to something happening on the internet 24/7. This is the problem with a lot of things in society today, where you're constantly receiving "stimulation" in some way, and so the lack of such stitumation happening results in you feeling agitated. >>601 >Every search engine is useless. >>604 >It seems to be truly over for search engines, nothing interesting can be found anymore >>606 >I've not been able to find anything decent from search engines for more than 10-15 years at this point.

>>610 >Could be using the site as a honeypot. If that were the case, you'd expect more of them to have been arrested, but you see the same guys there year in year out.

>>610 That's a lot of websites.

If you guys have any flag request just post it here and I may* add it. *depends on the flag image but most likely I will add them.

>>613 Check the pixel art thread as well as the one on >>>/vb/23490 for some possibilities. If you like something but it needs a clean up just link it and I'll work on it.

>>629 I can do the flag edits myself too, it's just a matter of adding a alpha channel, reducing the resolution and then erasing the background image. Bit annoying to do because some images have fine details which needs a smaller brush to get rid of the other parts, but still doable.

>>631 What's your go to program for editing. >Bit annoying to do because some images have fine details which needs a smaller brush to get rid of the other parts One trick I've learned is that if I'm going to reduce an image, I'll do the editing first so that reducing smooths out imperfections. Especially if it an image I leave AA on when shrinking.

>>632 I use GIMP 2.10 mainly, despite they released like 3.0 already but for some stupid reason I am not getting the update for the 3.0. I could perhaps pirate Photoshop and just use that I guess. I also use Krita but that is not made for image manipulation despite it has a few tools for that.

>>633 I mostly use paint.net lol. It actually works pretty well. I have to dip in to GIMP for some things though.

The Sharty will never be owned again by Kuz. Now the sharty has been fucking lost due to faggot admins, so coalposting and brimstone edits are being posted there all the fucking time.

>>638 It's the fault of Froot and the other faggots who are put in charge. Now it's a cesspit of internet sissyfights, Xcrement, 'cord fag, FNFPedos, and other faggots who are braaaaping it up. It's also filled with spammes and losers from Anthro Foo. I too want Kuz back.

>>648 There is one new imageboard where the admin wants to LARP as Kuz but I cannot find the website anymore now, but I don't know if the quality of it is better or not. Otherwise Soyjak.party is indeed a cesspit now. Froot, Sooth and who the fuck else is in charge now are the worst badmin ever, I lurked soyjak.party for only a brief time because it was so fucking bad, it's like every chud there are posting from their phones. The Soybooru is totally fucked up too, can't find there for quality gems anymore and top of that it is fucking slow to load, a lot of the images there are fucking brimstone from nigger hell tier, I am not even going to bother posting those as example because it's fucking vomit inducing.

>>657 > Image board with Kuz Larper Uhhh I rather not hop in that image board because that's not the real cuz. >The 'ru It's as terrible as The Jarty.. Everytroon are putting up shit no one cares about and have little 8-year old teor vendetta against eachother and use FPE and other coal to stroke their own ego.

>ask anons on vee if its still possible to earn some money as noob programmer <answer: basically nope, got replaced by ChatGPT This really fucking sucks, fucking normies would rather spend 20-30 euro a month for a hallucinating AI that constantly throws out bad code and becoming a fucking vibe coder instead of paying for a more skilled noob programmers. Noob programmes at least would understand why the code is not working and try to correct. AI is still far from the goal of being able to replace a skilled programmer due to various issues AI still has. Man I don't fucking know. Fucking Germany is still ruled by the corrupt niggers called CDU/CSU and SPD who are doing everything to make the citizens live worse with every new passing bill, pocketing even more money, wasting tax payers money on some fucking retarded shit. And what the fuck do I gain from this oh so fucking great democracy that everyone loves to harp on? Nothing but more suffering. I hope there will be a total nuclear holocaust, fuck this gay earth. >>659 Welp, I dunno then.

>>662 >This really fucking sucks, fucking normies would rather spend 20-30 euro a month for a hallucinating AI that constantly throws out bad code and becoming a fucking vibe coder instead of paying for a more skilled noob programmers. The only thing I can really say is make your own shit. Stop focussing getting hired by a company and start working for yourself by making your own programs and games. That's really the only solution to the situation.

>>674 I am sorry Anon for the misunderstanding. I am not that focused at all to get hired by a company as a junior programmer. I only mentioned this now because on vee board I have a discussion going on about programming. I told the other anons over there that I don't have much interesting in doing all those boring grunt work just to fill up my CV/Resume just that some stupid HR bitch may consider me as a junior programmer. I am already in the process doing my own shit through modding games, using Godot and doing other programming work with Python. I am not exactly looking to get hired by a company because I am too mentally ill for this shit. I kind of hoped I could at least do it as a freelancer programmer or so. to be honest, doing all those pure programming work that may or may not even GUI related sounds boring to me, I mean I did some programming work already but only for myself and not for others just to get some few basic problems solved that I had before. I hope that clears up some things now, if not then just ask questions and I will answer it.

>>675 >I told the other anons over there that I don't have much interesting in doing all those boring grunt work just to fill up my CV/Resume just that some stupid HR bitch may consider me as a junior programmer. They're not going to hire you anyway unless you have a degree. Have zero clue about the problems in Sauerkraut Land, but the job CakeLordet is completely fucked these days where I live in the States. My dad and I have had almost ZERO success in regards places even calling for an interview (And HE is the one with a college degree, real world experience in the trades, and had multiple certifications under his belt). >I am not exactly looking to get hired by a company because I am too mentally ill for this shit. I kind of hoped I could at least do it as a freelancer programmer or so. This may be my pessimism, but I don't think they're going to be calling. The attitudes of a lot of companies seems to be that, anything that cannot be handled by AI, they're going to hand to the pajeets. So that's why I said go into it for yourself. If you're willing to swallow enough pride, you could also open a Patreon as fetish game makers seem to be making money hand-over-fist in that department from what I've seen.

>>677 (checked) >They're not going to hire you anyway unless you have a degree. Have zero clue about the problems in Sauerkraut Land, but the job market is completely fucked these days where I live in the States. My dad and I have had almost ZERO success in regards places even calling for an interview It's sort of similiar too in Deutschland, job posts often require a degree from a university or a higher level of school and I think if I am not mistaken some of those job positions requires having to code for some boomer tech, but there positions available like C++, Java, C and then job position to do coding for some machine tools or in a industry. Since I am a school drop out and don't even have basic school certificate I have the worst amount of chance to get any form of job here, literally anybody with a main school degree has better chance of getting picked. >This may be my pessimism, but I don't think they're going to be calling.

My graphical skills (2D and 3D) is way too shit to make any form of art that those porn addicts want to jack off to. I mean it, my 2D drawing skill is that of a fucking toddler. I do have a patreon page, but that is just for my modding projects which I have still to this day fuck all (0 patrons). I wasted fucking 500 neet bucks for a samsung tablet which I think I spend a total of only 2-3 weeks of drawing with it, on and off and then I quitted it because I got too frustrated having to constantly think of a idea to practice drawing for and that my result is still fucking garbage. I think I even lost my samsung drawing tablet now, but only because those fucking bitches from hell (my sisters) constantly throws shit away from my room every time I don't look. Jesus fucking christ. I have the worst fucking family, they don't give a shit that I suffer from several health issue, they don't give me some basic care so that I don't have to do all those shit myself and all they can fucking do is moan, bitch and scream at me more just because I didn't do their fucking dirty job. Yes yes I am aware that there people out there with even worse family and suffers from even more bullshit then I do, but that doesn't make all the fucking bullshit I am forced to deal with from my insane family any less worse.

You still around anon?
