  • I’m not even mad people] take issue with my work. Good, fine. Who cares?

    The classic words of somebody who deeply cares.

  • I agree that you need to point out that the algorithm isn’t to blame, but saying, “Your videos aren’t getting algorithm’d because your videos suck” isn’t constructive and is far more likely to piss people off. If you don’t care about pissing people off then 🤷

  • Good is subjective, and I personally don’t think entertaining always has to equal good.

    I get where you’re coming from. There’s a lot of bitching about the algorithm and it’s tempting to just say, “Maybe your videos just suck, man”, but it’s not always true, and, as a a bonus, not very constructive feedback.

  • That’s not quite how I would phrase it. It’s not that the video was necessarily shit, but your audience was bored by it, and it doesn’t take a rocket-scientist-algorithm to figure out if people are bored by your video or not.

    YouTube is still mostly a platform for entertainment, even when a video is supposed to educational. “Good” videos won’t get algorithm’d if people are bored by the video and/or your thumbnail + title don’t draw people in. Make an entertaining video that draws people in and it won’t matter how long your video is (granted, a 4 hour long entertaining video is a lot harder to make than a 2 minute video.)

    Source: videos I’ve made that have and haven’t been algorithm’d.

  • As soon as I started my 9-5 job, my wrist started hurting. Fortunately, my workplace bought me some vertical mice and it’s all I needed. It took some getting used to and I can’t play FPSes with them, but I’m not playing those for 8 hours a day, so I just switch back when needed.

  • It’s not a very Linux-y answer, but VSC does allow you to compare 2 pages for differences. Those pages can be unsaved or saved files.

  • I know the Skyrim part, but somebody fill me in: where is the animation of the people from?

  • That’s a first for Nintendo consoles. Not a good first, but still a first.

  • I did. That’s my opinion, most people won’t care I care, but most people don’t.

  • They absolutely have their users by the balls and I guarantee most people will continue to use the app after this, unfortunately.

  • Top one is the power brick for the Xbox One (the original, VCR-looking one) and the bottom one is the Steam Link.

  • On a less related meme

  • I was anticipating my gym to be this way and it was dead quiet the first week of January. I was not mad. It’s actually busier now than it was in January. 🤷

  • In short: no, because they were already doing this.

  • I would be a lot more excited if I wasn’t worried it was going to cost +$1,099. I hope that I am wrong.

  • I use Linux daily for work and personal tasks, but I sometimes have to resort to either a Windows VM or Windows running natively for the following:

    Hardware

    • Gaming with the Oculus Rift S
    • My third-party Xbox One wireless controller adapter for the non-bluetooth models
    • Brook controller adapters

    Software

    • Microsoft Office. I absolutely need the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations I work on to be interoperable with Windows users who exclusively use Microsoft Office. I am no position to ask them to change what software they use. OnlyOffice is the closest to achieving interoperability and its UI is very similar, but it still falls short. Multiple animations on 1 slide don’t carry over, none of the macros my coworkers have made seem to work, slide formatting may look different, and transformed cells don’t seem to automatically update.
    • Some games, such as Fortnite and CastleMinerZ either have bug-breaking issues or the publisher/anti-cheat sucks and blocks Linux. I don’t particularly care for these games, but I’m also not willing to give up game nights with lifelong friends over these. I’ll play them, suck at them, and have a good time. Then there are games such as Halo: MCC that mostly work, but then co-op campaign de-syncs.
    • Original Xbox and Xbox 360 development and modification tools/programs don’t work. I can’t even FTP a file over from Fedora without it being unrecognized. I obviously don’t expect any of this to change.

    And I desperately miss the native Stream Deck software. StreamController’s page-changing is very slow, in general is finicky, buggy, and less intuitive.

  • Do my eyes deceive me? A Phoronix article without people yelling at each other in the comments section? I probably just arrived too early.
