Honestly you're better off hosting your own server and connecting to the network through it. Channels (or whatever they are called) have their own rules anyway, irrespective of where you come from, so even if you were to register on a server meeting your requirements it does not mean you won't get banned. With that in mind, those 5 dollars a month to rent a VPS are worth it since the most they can do is keep you from using their channel, not delete your account, and in the worst case you can even create your own rooms.

>ChatGPT users wake to find it's even more wrong, slower than usual https://archive.ph/26YkU <If you're having trouble getting ChatGPT to do your work for you this morning, you wouldn't be alone. It appears OpenAI services are experiencing a variety of issues. <OpenAI's status page indicates as of writing that it's experiencing elevated error rates and latency across its services including ChatGPT, the Sora text-to-video product, and its APIs – so not even your integrations are safe. A separate entry for elevated error rates in Sora is also included on the status page. <The only things that appear to be functioning normally are OpenAI's login services. We note that the affected services are mentioned as having "partial outages" – this vulture had no problem getting questions answered by ChatGPT while writing this story. >UBS Survey Finds "Little Growth" In Smartphone Units "Over Next Few Years" https://archive.ph/IXduz <Apple's annual developer conference on Monday underwhelmed on the artificial intelligence front, and new survey data from UBS showed softening demand for iPhones. On a broader note, UBS highlighted a cooling period has arrived in overall interest in purchasing smartphones, with the U.S. market seeing the sharpest pullback. <According to UBS Evidence Lab's 2Q25 survey of 7,500 consumers across five countries (US/UK/Germany/Japan/China), the 12-month forward smartphone purchase intent fell from 36% in 2Q25 from 39% in 4Q24, flat YoY. The U.S. experienced the sharpest decline, sliding to 37% from 50% in 4Q24 and 44% in 2Q24. >Old but gold: Paper tape and punched cards still getting the job done – just about https://archive.ph/bXI4a <As storage media grows denser and more complex over time, it's worth remembering that older formats were sometimes far more durable.

>Twitch CEO Reveals Two-Thirds of Platform Revenue Comes from Viewer Subs, Not Amazon or Ads https://archive.ph/Y18tO <Despite being owned by one of the biggest companies in the world, Twitch is leaning heavily on its community of viewers not Amazon or big advertisers to keep the platform afloat. <In a recent discussion at an event in Cannes on June 17, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy shared a surprising revelation: two-thirds of Twitch’s total revenue comes directly from viewer subscriptions, not traditional ad deals or corporate partnerships. <"One thing that many people don’t realize is two-thirds of our revenue comes directly from our viewers supporting the creators that they love,” Clancy told Axios. <This stat comes as a surprise to many, especially given Twitch’s massive ad presence and Amazon ownership. Platforms like YouTube and Facebook Gaming focus more on advertiser revenue, while Twitch’s monetization appears to revolve around viewer loyalty and community support. <At TwitchCon, Clancy elaborated on this concept, saying that subscribers aren’t just buying perks they’re buying patronage, status, and emotional connection to the streamers they love. <"Often, when I talk to brands, I say that’s an indication of their emotional connection to the streamers and what they’re watching,” he explained. <This insight reframes how Twitch positions itself in the market: more of a digital community marketplace than a traditional content platform.

I'm all for wasting the government's time and resources to hasten its collapse, but why make their job easier?

>>20340 I installed Lineage on my Pixel 3 yesterday and it's like I have a new fucking phone. 24h+ battery life and the latest Android version with 0 bloat. Man, I don't understand what took me so long. Now that I'm using Windows and Linux at home, and macOS at work. It's so painfully evident how amateurish the mac OS really is. And saying that when comparing it to the piece of shit that Windows 11 is, that's really something. But it's true. You've got to be sleeping or blind to use Apple products.

>>21873 i just ordered a 3a to try out ubuntu touch myself any issues on lineage with volte? i know that's one thing ubuntu touch is still working on

>>23372 >ubuntu touch myself tee hee. Posted from GrapheneOS

>>23385 (OP) >where does the slack get picked up if not by SystemD? Daemons? yeah, just other software that does the same job. not all of is is shit that needs to be present 24/7 though, or even present at all. >Arch users end up trying Artix, but complain that some stuff didn't work, and that they're better off at that time using Arch. I call bullshit. A couple things haven't worked for me, but they were: 1. Programs I didn't want to auto start trying to make themselves auto start without asking me. Obviously that not working is a feature and not a bug. 2. One of my drivers had a regression and one of the workarounds involved installing semi-obsolete software that was reliant on systemd. There actually had been an openrc version made, and it had been available on artix repos, but it was no longer maintained and was no longer available. I probably could've figured out how to do the conversion myself, but I found a different workaround instead that works better anyways I did install one of the community editions, so I suppose they probably installed the base iso and got mad when the initial setup differed. >Why is SystemD a poor choice compared to the competition, is it really so bad? Honestly it's not that bad, but there's some parts of it I fucking hate having to deal with, whereas I have never found myself getting mad at openrc or sysvinit. so it's not even that systemd is unfathomably evil, it's that you can't make me pick my 5th choice when the other 4 choices i prefer over it are still there and viable.

>>23400 >>Arch users end up trying Artix, but complain that some stuff didn't work, and that they're better off at that time using Arch. >I call bullshit. (nta) when I tried Artix five years ago, just about everything I tried to install from the AUR had systemd as an implicit dependency, even though as far as I could tell it didn't actually use anything from that. I vaguely remember spending hours doing some asinine contortions to make it play nice with runit, and then the next program I installed had the exact same problem and I gave up.

>>23400 >>where does the slack get picked up if not by SystemD? Daemons? >yeah, just other software that does the same job. not all of is is shit that needs to be present 24/7 though, or even present at all. Could you give examples? One I know is SystemD's timers. It doesn't need timers while software like cron exists, an init system could just run cron. What other stuff does SystemD do and how should you go about doing the same stuff while using something like openrc?

>>23408 Yeah I've used cock.li. Gmail does like doing shit without telling you. Other e-mails straight up blocked me, and some services didn't allow me to register with cock.li (some said "invalid e-mail" because god forbid they directly tell me the issue)

>>23401 (OP) Mail? On the Internet? It's gonna cost ya. You can set up your own mail server, free and easy with that one OS. Lennox.

I heard tutanota is kinda good and only wants you to write a letter to the admins before creating an account, so maybe I'll try that.

holy shit I'm so sorry, literally none of these threads told me they posted at all, they just told me "wait 87 more seconds"

>>23258 Thanks, but I'm sticking with Linux. Enjoy your vibe coded spyware that you got for ((((free)))).

Linux is just as privacy free as any other OS in the hands of a newbie who is probably going to install a fuck ton of packages and not turn off anything at all like avahi print server I do be a Linux enjoyer but I've never once kid myself that I'm escaping the bots

>>23301 You're just wrong. It may not be perfect in all cases but it is far better than stock W11, W10, and macOS.

>>21560 With Tor, it's essentially plug and play; you can connect and start using it right away. In contrast, with I2P, even if they released an official browser, it would require time to bootstrap before you could access any eepSites.

>>19098 (OP) Double click the exe and google hidden wiki

Ubuntu 24/Fedora 42. Why the fuck is Gnome renaming images drag/dropped to "Dropped Image" from the browser? Any other OS/DE keeps the original filename. But not fucking Gnome. There are 0 results about this on the web.

>>23242 Not trying to antagonize you, and not that it'll help, but it kind of baffles me that Gnome is still even used as frequently as it is. Dev team are pants on head retarded and obtuse, the DE is clunky and awkward without a dozen plugins that Gnome has no interest in honoring or preserving, etc. Makes a lot sense that even distros like Fedora are finally starting to consider using KDE as the default.

>>23320 Gnome feels like pic related. Want to type into the location/address bar when saving a file from the browser? No, fuck you, use our playschool buttons. Want to search for a folder in the save as dialog? What's the use-case? You want copy/paste +1000 files from your windows filesystem to the current one? Enjoy the complete system freeze after a couple seconds. I'm surprised KDE is not the standard DE. "lol Krashes", but I experienced more crashes/freezes on Gnome that forced a system restart. KDE recovers. Sometimes I only know about it because an error reporter shows up. I tried Ubuntu because I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to install Nvidia drivers. I moved to Tumbleweed and learned how to make KDE + Wayland + Nvidia work. But still had to return to Windows because games stutter badly. I won't return to Linux until I get an AMD GPU (maybe next gen).

>>8378 >polite sage - I just don't want to necro-bump this I'm not on here (Mark's site) that often, but let me clarify my observations regarding 08chan: > 08chan started and everything was going okay, I guess. Everyone was getting used to the 'site.' > Some trannies wrote a bot that spammed the /pol/ catalog with random IDs. > Reporters were nabbing users' IP addresses because the users were stupid and didn't use a vpn or tor and 'shills' started spreading an attitude of demoralization that the 'site' was unusable and that they were over-paranoid. > Things were put in place by 'zero-site owner' to stop the catalog spammer. > everyone was psyopped into believing that they were downloading Democrat activism unknowingly, when in fact, if you stuck to /pol/ for example, you would only download /pol/-related images. > people started leaving > dwindled to nearly nothing > one or two people were still poasting > one person posting > ded pretty much in that order

Feature request: The current 8chan archive search is very basic. Would it be possible to incorporate a B4K-style search bar into the 8chanSS/LynxChan script? https://8chan.se/archives.js?boards=v,a

>>23686 That seems like something that should be integrated into the main website code, not a userscript. It is pretty awful though.
