I think you should be required to post a terminal in desktop threads.

I think we should have OS "flags" like /pol/ has for countries.

No, please fuck off, /g/ is better without desktop threads.

That'd be cool.
>>

/g/ is also better off without sticker threads and video game threads and watch threads ect but I guess desktop threads are a special class that gets autosaged and banned hmmm

desktop threads are more technology than half the garbage that gets posted

Tripfags are the reason you even have a site, fag.

You're the one that should leave for being so triggered at names.

No, this site was never set up to be some anonymous haven. Fuck moot and his pandering lies as well. That TED talk was embarrassing as fuck.
This site was setup with ANONYMOUS POSTING, which means no need for logins. COMPLETELY different thing.
Fuck you and menchi.

This site was setup as a dare on IRC, then as a "I could get my own e-mail", and a little while later, it was running.
The majority of this site was in tripcode or names for 4 consistent years until that anonymous cancer left /b/.
Go back already.

Plenty more where this came from.

Fag, that was back when 4chan was full of leftist cucks. Thankfully, this site became redpilled after the tripfags left and became more like /pol/.

>comparing the few hundred posters from 12 years ago to the hundred thousands of today
No, namefagging really does not make any sense now
>>
>>56618632
I don't care either way.

I went through about 25 trips since 2004.
I was as anonymous as I wanted to be.

Also, fuck moot.
Moot was a whiny retard who lost any sense of fun in him after kicking out Snacks.
Moot is an idea guy with the patience of a 3 year old.

That argument over Snacks not doing any work was embarrassing.
Moot was demanding impossible completion times on things.

I even tried to help as well as plenty of others on /g/ when that jew Max tried to fuck him over on the first 4chan recode, but he was like "na, don't trust anyone, brb crying".
Fuck him.

Hiro and the mods have done more for this site in a few years than he ever did.
When moot left, we instantly got audio on webms since his whiny ass wasn't there to cry over being too stupid to manage volume.
>>
>>56618683
/pol/ I want you to understand why we hate you.
We dont hate you because what you say is "offensive". Remember where the fuck you are, we are each about one click away from watching women with 12 inch cocks fucking each other. And at one point this site even had guro and loli boards. Oh my god he said nigger! This totally shocks my unenlightened sheeple mind.

No, we hate you because you are the new furfags. You see, the problem with furfags wan't that they jerked off to furry shit. It was that they were so fucking obnoxious about it. Everything had to be made furry. Every forum avatar had to be a fursona. They had to constantly broadcast the fact that they were furfags to everyone, and when this was met with derision, they doubled down on their effort. They labeled the rational reaction to their faggotry "fursection" and actively set out to be the biggest faggots they could possibly be to combat it.

Stormniggers are exactly the same. I have yet to see a single board on this site that doesn't regularly have off topic derails about nigger, jews or trump. Always with craftyjew.jpg and A Wyatt Mann cartoons. I doesn't matter HOW off topic it is, /pol/ users can't help but broadcast the fact that they are stormniggers.

What does the average IQ of blacks have to do with this thread? I mean, really what does it add to the conversation at all? Jack shit. All it does is send out a big loud signal to everyone in the thread that LOOK AT ME! I AM SO RACIST! YOU SHOULD BE OFFENDED!

TL;DR stormfags are just the same as furfags, only their "fursecution" is called "political correctness".

desktop threads are randomly deleted and banned on /wg/ even if they are extremely well behaved

"Boardism", home boards and all that other faggotry needs to be a bannable offence.
It isn't even board culture, it is blatant off-topic posts.

Saying a picture of your computers is directly technology related is like me posting a pictures of disc cases on /v/, because hey, GAMES COME IN DISCS.

There's fucking no discussion of technology in them.
And what little discussion is usually software, which is totally acceptable on /w/ and /wg/.
Then not being directly related to technology DOESN'T prevent you from mentioning software.

You fags need to realize boards aren't absolutes with regards to MAIN discussion.
The MAIN discussion in desktop threads is the imagery and software used to get said imagery. That makes it /wg/ or /w/.
The technology is a secondary / side discussion related to the MAIN discussion.

/bst/, however, is another story.
But we never got /arch/ for interior design threads, so yeah.

You do realize the purpose of /b/, right?

The majority of the site browsed /b/ up till 2007 when that chanology faggotry started.

Ban all racist apologetics. Calling people nigger is different than promoting a race war, I can call my nigga to a lot of anons, but defending mass murder is not even funny trolling. And auto-sage racist and pro nazi propaganda in OP's pics for fuck's sake.

Ban all anti-Linux, anti-GNU trolling. We all suspect is some group shilling in favor of MIcrosoft but even if is not this is derailing and shitposting.

Send all consumer electronics to another board. AMD vs Nvidia, Microsoft vs Apple, is like we are in the middle of a cyber war here, and we have nothing to do. May as well create a board for general buying advice and information for that end.

Before deleting or auto-saging a thread with desktop in his name, make sure it doesn't have legitimate content. Many times we tried to make threads about ricing and got sage.

It was some suggestion earlier about a new board being /pg/ - professional tech.

/tech/ would work too.

1) A large number of the people on this board work in a professional setting

2) Stop being boardist scum.
People ARE allowed to post on more than one board, you know.

If you use it for professional purposes and want to discuss said purposes, that is why you would make a thread on /pg/

However, if it is yet another "X vs Y" thread, that's for consumer tech.
Hell, it isn't even for that, it is more /wsr/, but nobody cares about /wsr/ except /wsg/.

but that isn't what the discussions center around, people aren't fucking talking about what they're doing at work unless it's to brag about wages or look smart, the server threads aren't full of their bosses' DB boxes and the thinkpad threads aren't full of road warriors, /g/ is a very consumer/home-centric board when it comes to discussion, it's absolutely delusional to think otherwise

>People ARE allowed to post on more than one board, you know.
where did I imply that this was not okay

the divide is shit because what it ultimately does is inhibit discussion even more by splitting an already decently slow board into two even slower boards that will sit there and argue amongst each other what belongs on what, further inhibiting actual discussion while the shitposters will have zero (0) problem making their girls in tech threads on /pg/ while their nvidia btfo threads soak up the (You)s on /g/

>However, if it is yet another "X vs Y" thread, that's for consumer tech.
but it's not, because consumer technology isn't the only things you want to compare for different things, maybe I want to have an interesting discussion on whether Oracle SPARC systems really do beat IBM boxes for virtualization? am I really going to see success with that kind of discussion on the vidya hardware board?

>2. Remove shills of all varieties (Phone, GPU, CPU, OS)

Yes, but please make sure to draw a good and clear line between a shill and someone who just likes the product.

>3. Remove unrelated, forced shitty meme anime character (Maki). At least Lain is tangentially related to the topic. Maki is not, has not, and never will be technology.
>unironically angry that someone likes a girl that isn't Lain

>4. Create /buy/ - Purchasing Advice for the shills/rate-my-build/what-phone-do-i-get posters to go to instead.

Will become an overcrowded, unusable shill general. Just no. I disagree with this one the most.

5. Strictly enforce rules.

That's the point: get the shills off real boards. Nobody cares about the quality of /trash/, why would anyone care about /buy/?

I'd still want somewhere to ask for advice before buying a product I've never owned, anon.
Completely dumping one of the top reasons why people visit this board as a sacrifice for shills isn't exactly a good thing.

Can we auto-ban threads about SJWs in technology? No one gives a shit about special snowflakes and all these faggots do is give them the attention they want by being outraged.

Why do people want to split this board up its already slow enough as is

>>56618839

lets literally ban a technology thread. No thanks
>>
>>56621317
Because the fast part is cancer.
The last big /g/ related things i remember were Fuchsia OS, which didn't advance to depth in regards to discussion and the sudden explosion of that fb sattelite.
Other than that, small forgettable questions (which are sometmes okay, but most of the time >>>/g/sqt/ worthy)
>>
>>56621247
> get the shills off real boards
How? Range ban corporations and media agencies IPs?
>>
>>56621375
I agree there are a large part of years which do belong in /sqt/ but that doesn't mean generals need to be banned as well
>>
Remove anything hardware related and I'm fine.
>>
>>56618262

the reason why desktop threads suck is because they're no longer about the style or innovation in compositing the arrangement of the desktop -- most often it about posting repeated ugly images of anime waifus

fuck that shit -- go to /b or /a or whatever
>>
>>56621289
I agree, also ban nazi shitpost.
>>
>>56621458
I personally find them to be good.
You can ignore a large part of [for you] uninteresting stuff, while looking out for [in your opinion] interesting stuff/generals.
The rest is either, as mentioned sqt stuff, shills, or the usual meme shit in regards to news (x is bankrupt, etc)

Yet, i'd find it better to create /os/ - Operating Systems
As about half the board is related to OS stuff, so imho it deserves an own board. On the /g/ side it will lighten up clutter and tech support threads.

no, they fucking aren't
>>
>>56621632

Frogposting should be banned outside of /r9k/
>>
>>56621656
yes they are
>>
>>56621287
If product advice is allowed anywhere, shills will descend in force.

>>56621433
>How? Range ban corporations and media agencies IPs?
Paying attention to reports would be a good first step, but range bans are another good tool in the toolbox.
>>
>>56619358
Can we ban Windows, BSD, DOS, OS/2, TempleOS and linux discussion while we're at it? fuck operating systems.

Also fuck you.

the next thing to go after desktop threads are programming threads

This. Where in the world did that programming board go? Was it taken down?

nothing is going to change
lainchan was sold off to an actual autist that doesn't have any nefarious intentions, so there's a glimmer of hope that chan culture isn't completely dead
8ch doesn't even belong to hotwheels anymore and is perfectly content with datamining its users, along protecting pedos
all the other chans are fucking horrible, but 4chan needs to evolve in a radical way for it to still be alive in the next year or two or it's just going to eat itself eventually

ok, now with /g/ it's pretty clear that there are two camps: the circlejerking generals that are posted every hour and the threads related to /g/ that end up on the last page. weeding all this shit out should be fairly simple for the mods, all they need to do is just take a look at all the generals and move it to the pertinent boards that these generals are tertiary with, thereby promoting actual discussions of threads that belong in /g/.

programming should have its own board.

honestly, none of this will matter since imageboards are a lost cause and like it or not, reddit on average has a better breadth of discussion with a better userbase.

chans have become a braindrain for reddit and for some time now.

Someone say desktop thread?
>>
Bring back desktop threads. They were one of the most important defining characteristics of the board, along with DPT and other generals, almost subcultures and whole autonomous communities.
Under this new attitude, people would have wanted uBlock and mpv threads killed, despite their importance in promoting those projects amongst anons.
Anime is fine, I don't watch anime, but you must accept that 4chan is an anime website. If you can't handle it then it is (You) who needs to fuck off to rebbit.
>>56621758
Fuck you, cosychan was already overran by tards and nazis. I already saw fags from the old desktop thread posting on /tech/, maybe they're actually from /g/ not 8ch...

Otherwise we're just shitposting about the issue.

/g/ used to be good when there were desktop threads , unlike now

therefor desktop threads made /g/ good

>>56621758
but lainchan got rid of /cyb/
>>
chans are fucking dead and we're all playing pretend by dressing up this corpse through our fucking extensions, passes, moderator promotions/demotions, new board additions, etc.

hiro needs to get rid of the futaba style 4ch and get a consultant to rework the bored model of imageboards. 8ch had a great model, but not userbase. 4chan is steady in its base and it would solve a shit ton of the problems we're dealing with if it just took after inifinity next.

Horishima is only interested in how much money doing something is going to make him. For example, how much he should charge companies for not deleting their posts even though they clearly break the rules, how much he should charge companies to delete posts of their opponents even if they don't break any rule, how many malware ad providers he can make deals with before people start asking questions, how many mods he can put on the (((sponsored operations))) division, etc.

shilling is cancer. what we're trying to get at here is actual threads were it's worth to post a single reply. desktop thread are a circlejerk of neckbeard tripfags bragging about linux and their window managers and disgusting anime bullshit. it's never been a >defining characteristic of the board. also, nobody gives a shit about your specs or command line themes

This has already been suggested many times an there are too many issues with it.
It doesn't account for people that use multiple operating systems, and it would also be relatively easy to spoof.

The os flag wouldn't be a metric, just an identifier for relevant discussion. The only people who'd spoof their useragent are shitposters and those posts are worthless.

k, but maybe make /wg/ wallpaper/rice generals
>* Ban Watch Threads (>>>/fa/)
fair enough
>* Creation of a Consumer board
no, just delete consumer threads and force discussion onto installgentoo wiki. EXCEPT for when a new product is launched/announced and Chink Shit General. allow for consumer questions to prevail in sqt (also link this in the sticky >>>/g/sqt/
>* Ban Battlestation threads (belong to >>>/v/)
no, these are easily filtered + they're essentially technology so long as people don't just post empty desks

no, just get rid of consumer product discussion

duh
>* Video games are not technology (>>>/v/)
I disagree, but would agree that discussion of vidya belongs on /v/ with the exception of certain technical aspects of videogame creation.
