It's about time we deprecated ACM.
|
||||
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM Cloud**, we actually provide [free web hosting](https://linux.ucla.edu/membership/) and educate our members on [self-hosting](https://linux.ucla.edu/W25_Selfhost.pptx).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM AI**, we actually provide GPUs to members, run our own free chatbot, and have members publishing in [top conferences](https://openreview.net/forum?id=62hJ09Z0NU).
|
||||
- LUG finished first in the **ACM Cyber** CTF last spring, despite never going to a meeting. We had our own meeting on [cybersecurity](/events/privsec-w25/), anyway.
|
||||
- LUG is endorsed by the most GOATed CS professor ([Eggert](https://samueli.ucla.edu/time-zone-king-how-one-ucla-computer-scientist-keeps-digital-clocks-ticking/)).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM ICPC**, where they grind LeetCode Hards that are [solvable by AI now](https://ultracode.ai/), we regularly exercise our brains with IQ tests and Wordle.
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM TeachLA**, we actually educate our *own* students at our [weekly meetings](https://linux.ucla.edu/events/).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM Studio**, we support video games that people will actually play by running a [SuperTuxKart](https://supertuxkart.net/Main_Page) server, and educating users about [Proton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)).
|
||||
- Unlike anyone in ACM, we are actually skilled with hardware, owing to our high representation of CEs, CSEs, and EEs.
|
||||
- We had at least one girl at every [installfest](https://linux.ucla.edu/tags/installfests/) this year, and we closed the rest of the gap by becoming femboys – **ACM W** (more like **ACM WOKE**) utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- We never leave the terminal – **ACM Design** utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- We generated [our website](https://git.linux.ucla.edu/lug/site) from Markdown files using Hugo – **ACM Hack** utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- Unlike ACM, we're not blacklisted from ordering from Enzo's Pizzeria, even after we ripped them off.
|
||||
- Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually daily drive Linux, not just SSH into it.
|
||||
- Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually give back to open source instead of leeching off of it.
|
||||
- We're laid back, we're not corporatized and we're owned by no one.
