  • "The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew" - Veritasium

    Jump

  • I guess his flavour of tainment just doesn't jam well with me. Like I said, it's not the subject matter, but the content just feels needlessly padded. Compare this to videos by Tom Scott, CGP Grey, Matt Parker, Steve Mould, etc. Those videos are far more dense with content It reminds me of how mythbusters gets so much better once you take out the narrator and the endless recaps..

    Regarding clickbait - to me a title this one is just another symptom of that disregard for the viewers time. Being coy and mysterious about the subject matter to lure people in. And yeah, hat's probably why it works.

    I agree that the production values are incredibly high. But I just can't stand being treated like a simpleton who needs drama to be tricked into watching videos, it feels very patronising.

  • I feel the same way. I feel like I would love his subject matters he picks, but he's being so disrespectful of the viewers time that I can't stand it. Just the clickbait title alone is enough to put me off.

  • rsyslog Goes AI First — A New Chapter Begins

    Jump

  • I was gonna post a list of other things that happened on July 9 2025, but it was all kinda depressing.

    The post ended with "stay tuned". Do you have any update for us, OP?

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • To me it reads like "I'm going to move abroad if x wins the elections."

    Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don't really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.

  • The biggest problems with Lemmy right now

    Jump

  • I think it's more useful to take their points at their own merit, rather than factor in who said it. Who cares if they said they were leaving, or if they torture puppies in their spare time. There's no need to make it personal - feedback is feedback. IMHO a user shouldn't have to know about federation or how it works - if lemmy wants widespread adoption, tackling these issues will help.

  • "NixOS has become a fascist project. Do not contribute to it."

    Jump

  • Or option C: there's a discussion going on about an open source project, and you're starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn't downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

  • "NixOS has become a fascist project. Do not contribute to it."

    Jump

  • For the past half hour I tried to read into what's happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

    1. Communities are gonna drama.
    2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn't be allowed to.
    3. I really don't care enough to waste more time on this.

    Why Pewdiepie wants you to run Linux...

    Jump

  • For me it's just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn't go as far as hate though. It's just that I pre-emptively don't care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles "this is why..." (without explaining why) certainly don't help.

  • After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma.

    Jump

  • So... How can you possibly justify that start button?

  • Your thoughts on the concentration of users around big and flagship instances ?

    Jump

  • I'd say that federation is the core principle of the network, so centralisation by piling all the users and content onto one server is very undesirable.(also looking at you, lemmy.world)

    Jump

  • It sucks that it overshadows the actual news.

    On the plus side, this post serves as a wonderful tool to clean up some garbage users/servers.

  • I hope they managed to grab some content creators.

  • What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat

    Jump

  • Now that sounds like the job for an extension, since for most users "stfu and always apply the fix" would be the preferred option.

  • What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat

    Jump

  • How about, if you want a broken version of Firefox, you compile it yourself, rather than let everyone else suffer?Like, the vast majority of browser users don't even know what an extension is, let alone install one.

  • What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat

    Jump

  • I like the thought, but I can't imagine that most people will enjoy getting even more popups when they load up a site, especially when they come from the browser itself.

    Just take a look at OP here. If they responds this way to settings that are there for their actual benefit - just imagine how much they'll like those popups.
