While a little hyperbolic there is some truth in Dead Internet Theory. Bots & AI have definitely invaded every corner of the internet & will most definitely be on any forum type site like GH. However the bulk of posts & responses are still from actual humans here. Also thankfully just like you pointed out it is pretty damn obvious which accounts are bots & which are human. While D.I.T. my eventually become a self fulfilling prophecy, especially with AI progressing as fast as it is I don't think we're there quite yet.

"Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte just ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to treat cryptocurrency — a volatile and largely unregulated mess — as an asset when evaluating whether to purchase mortgages from banks.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae support about 70% of the mortgages in the country. They don’t issue loans but instead buy up home loans and package them into mortgage-backed securities, which are then sold to private investors. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae then guarantee payments to those investors if the mortgage holder defaults.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are likely going to have to issue loans to people partly  based on their cryptocurrency holdings. So when the cryptocurrency market collapses and homebuyers default on loans, Freddie and Fannie will have to cover the resulting losses."

Crypto was due for its predictable 4-year surge in 2025, but with everything going on in the world it likely will not happen now, or even in the next few years. All we get is the 24hr blip on inauguration day, right before everyone realized we are all totally ****ed. Trump stupidly played his hand on that with his own memecoin. Idiot.
2017 surge was great, 2021 surge was amazing, 2025 is looking less and less likely

Not a fan of Neue legends, but being honest this is the first set that has a design nice enough to make me overlook that! Kitting looks great to me other than 2 things. I'd love to see a regular Esc key added to the base & an extra B added to the base or Parts Kit. Both seem like glaring omissions in a modern keycap set to me> Anyways beyond that love the set & GL moving forward with it!

Asian Arowana being illegal in most Western countries is so extremely stupid to me (Canada is one of the few you can own one.) Yes, wild ones are endangered, but the ones sold in stores are always 100% captive bred by long lineages of special-colored lines that go back decades. They have 0% wild in them. Additionally, they would NEVER become an invasive species because you'd have to have brain damage to release a fish that cost you $10k.
The US could make SO MUCH MONEY with Asian Arowana breeding, the cultivation and techniques go so deep it is crazy. Just a dumb archaic law from decades ago that is totally out of touch with the way they are bred now.
You are a poor **** so why does it bother you?

Also, wiki says "Possession of Scleropages formosus by private citizens is prohibited in Florida and New Mexico.[31] " are you sure it's illegal where you live?

An absolutely amazing looking board, great typing feel, and sounds great (although that's subjective of course).

If you can hit the $400 for 100 MOQ price point, I think this board will make many people happy!

I joined the prototype run for this board, and all of us agree that the board is fantastic. Makes data entry and work something to look forward to every day.

OMG PLEASE tell me that yellow will be an option! That is one beautiful board!

Hey the yellow was a 5 MOQ FNF GB and done with a different manu (our most beloved manu around) unfortunately the final GB will be with a different manu and that color option is not available.  :'(
