Was folding@home at idk 16 on ps3 Linux (did it require ps3 Linux?).
Sadly, I was just one more outsid otherwise-idle ps3. Luckily, Wall Street has also been devoting all their dollars, ever since then, on … checks notes… Uber/Amazon/fracking/shitcoins/AI-race-to-hopeful-monopolization
We’ll run our own models and it will be glorious. We’ll also solve our own problems, like proteins mis-folding, and those leeches on Wall Street, they’ll just keep slowing the rest of us down.
What is? The suspicion that one is the only one that does a thing? That would explain why everyone around here says they’re autistic. Never seen that on any other platform and I’m really interested in why.
We used to give our cycles for free to help probing the universe and understanding the building blocks of life
Nowadays it’s about selling them to assholes ruining the world.
Well, kinda glad it ends up not profitable enough for them.

The PS3 didn’t actually require linux surprisingly enough.
I did folding@home at the time I could have minded bitcoin for pizza. TBH no regrets, fuck crypto I feel better
I used to give mine for the search for extra terrestrials
Yeah!! I was hooked up to SETI for years!
Man, sometimes watching the visualisations was better than using the computer.
Also, watching the disk defrag.
….how did it take me 35 years to question if I had autism?
Both of those things were perfectly normal.
That is one of the operating modes of someone with Autism.
Everyone does this!
I’m the only person who does this!

The world works in more absolute terms for the autistic brain.
Is SETI gone?
Not really, they work on analysing data which people produced over the years. But they stopped SETI@home project.
What do you mean “used to”? BOINC still runs on my machine.
Still crunching for Einstein@home on few hosts :)
Alphafold was definitely a better era for intentional AI use, assuming that’s the kind of thing you mean.
