A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY… … HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?

Never talked shit about about Chris, love the guy, but its absolutely true that he partakes in the same clickbaity tendencies that lead us to this problem in the first place.

Downvoting requires you: A. Click into the video
B. Select the downvote button, thereby engaging with the video

The algorithm is not designed to feed you content you like, only content that will generate clicks and interaction. The only way to eliminate that content from your feed is to forcibly remove it, as they have designed the feed such that it is impossible not to interact with it.

Again, I suggest trying freetube as a frontend, as it allows you to retitle and rethumbnail clickbait videos, and remove shorts from your feeds, thereby eliminating the skinner box that is youtube from your life.

Youtube shorts.

Imagine you’re a gamer, one who is interested in game Design. Your view history has games, gaming, game design, but it’s also full of algotrash talking heads, scam baiters, shit slingers. You open the YouTube app on your phone, and it immediately opens to shorts, you don’t remember settings that as the default but it’s fine, you recognize the creator and the 45 second clip was neat. Swipe up. Next video, it Nile Blue dropping a beaker of chloroauric acid. Next video, its Chris Boden yelling about some kind of electrical infrastructure you don’t understand (and that’s pretty cool). Next video, Thor, speaking softly, explaining an aspect of game design that you never thought of. This one catches your attention, its in your wheelhouse, its something you’re genuinely interested in. You click the profile, swipe through a few more shorts. Your algorithm is permanently damaged. Your a pirate software fan now, whether you like it or not.

Or you can use freetube and never see algotrash talking heads in your feed and never enter into this cycle.

If you’re using an Arch Based distribution and have access to a USB keyboard so you can use standard HID drivers during setup you should be able to follow along on this wiki to use the software included in the ASUS Linux stack. It appears they have some nonsense going on. Tbh I didn’t know about this until looking just now and I’m gonna be going through here and getting the tools I need since I’ve got an ROG mobo I think would benefit

What laptop model?

I leave for the theater when its scheduled to start. I’m in my seat with usually a few minutes to spare. Its super nice living so close to the theater.

I’m on lemmy. I’m an artist so I also have an account on Pixelfed.art because it has a portfolio view I can show people.

Otherwise I am a non-participant in social media.

I’m not a fan of Gnome, they consistently have made questionable choices in my eyes since they shifted to their touch oriented layout circa 2010ish. While I personally dislike the software, I recognize its merit and that for many its the right choice. This is to say, the Following is NOT blind gnome hate. Additionally, I love systemd, I understand the philosophical issues with it, idgaf I like it.

This is bad. Like, big bad bad. The reason systemd is objectively fine as a monolithic giant Swiss army knife of software is because if people don’t want to use it they can replace it with something else. This move would require custom forks, moving forward, of gnome to retain interoperability with runit or with init, or with any selfspun init system.

The reason systemd isn’t a bad thing is that people don’t have to use it. This takes that choice away from anyone wanting to stay on gnome.

(I am a 20+ year Linux user and fan of systemd)

Porcine slang is quite versatile in English!

Pig: someone unkempt or otherwise undesirable.

Pig: an officer of the law.

Hog: to keep all or most of something to oneself.

Hog: a motorcycle, specifically a Harley Davidson or Indian Motorcycles style bike, rather than a sport-bike

Hog: I’m jorkin it right now, and by it, let’s just say…

Swine: a relatively outdated generic insult (ex “you uncultured swine”)

Pig-out: to engage in excess, to act as a glutton.

I was straight up SO excited for the kernel update this morning idek why.

Thank you smorty!

I recently enrolled in school again, its been nearly a decade since I last tried. I’m trying to keep reminding myself I’m not the same person who flunked out before, I’ve grown and become more responsible.

Your post was a good reminder of that for me today. Regardless of our pasts, the future is still up to us to make. Just because I failed before doesn’t mean I will again.

Much love Smorty, stay wholesome 🥰

Edit: I misspelled stuff, autocorrupt, YaKnow?

That’s why mine is slow 😬, I have 3 SSDs and 2 (ancient) HDDs tied into a 5TB lvm array.

It’s cursed ™️

More RAM doesn’t necessarily mean more faster. I’ve got a 64 gig kit in my c2021 ryzen build and it’s dog slow. It’s also my server but that’s not an excuse.

The p is for potential, as in potential Hydrogen. pH can be used to establish a concentration of protium (H+) in solution. When learning about pH in school, we used pOH (potential hydroxide) as well to speak about bases.

Becky pls, I showed you my tail

I usually just get my torrents from archive.org… Am I pirating wrong?

Plus if they actually cared about folks shooting up they’d just have blue lights in the bathroom.

Local bars around me all have blue or green restroom lights to keep people from shooting up, makes it nearly impossible to find a vein by sight.

This is a bit late since you’ve already gotten rid of it but there IS s Samsung unified Linux driver for printers.

The only thing that will get me back on windows is the Net Yaroze SDK which came out for windows 95-XP, I have a period accurate airgapped PC for that stuff though.
