@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Ngl, I wanted to try out webdev, but not sure if I actually wanna dedicate myself towards it besides for things like my website and Fedi-dev. Been hearing that there's a lot of bullshit technologies that webdevs would have to deal with compared to C devs being normal and just using C. :drgn_think:

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer Ngl, for a moment, I thought another account, like link (with a boykisser PFP) or a Wetdry-world meme account, had posted it :drgn_woozy:

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @epsi@akko.wtf I should host a markov/ebooks bot - Would be pretty funny to see what semi-accurate, yet ultimately batshit insane shit it would say based on my posts :neobun_3c:

Hehe, the music from my phone is on my desky-top now :blobcat_comfy_music:

@jessew@mk.cpluspatch.com The new Youtube UI is perfectly fine and would be praised if it was the Peertube UI instead; it's just that everything else about Youtube is shit :thinknyan:

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @newmodel@shin.mugicha.club In general, I wish more people would take what they watch on Youtube seriously. It's not easy trying to fight a company that literally maximizes mindless engagement, but I at least want others to acknowledge that this platform is not designed to serve you informative or creative videos. Instead, it's designed to make you addicted to profitable garbage like talentless gamers making mild reactions, wannabe smartasses re-reading Wikipedia or a tech blog, dramashits ranting about a Twitter thing that happened, grifters trying to sell you useless, overpriced products, and just generally the online equivalent to the same reality TV nothingness that we used to criticize.

@jessew@mk.cpluspatch.com "Ackshually, they're both the same, and it's just that the square root of 2, divided by 2, has a rational denominator" :ackshually:

Yea, I'm a fuckin' nerd who did a math problem for fun :floofWoozy:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @sun@shitposter.world Honestly, hate or admire Richard Stallman, but he and others like him literally watched the tech industry grow worse and worse over time, from "merely" overcharging people, abusing copyright, and monopolizing their power, to building a vast, near-inescapable surveillance state over the entire internet and wielding the power to enforce real-world censorship over others just saying the unprofitable thing. :drgn_sad:

It's fair to have to deal with the world we have now, but don't get too heated over those who are overly demanding for change

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer Minds.com is Republican Tumblr :drgn_thumbsdown:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Huh, now I know why his account seemed a bit odd. I would have expected discussion instead if he really was on there. :drgn_think:

Very cool that he's staying a LandChad on his personal web-space, tho, when so many others flocked to (proprietary fuckshit) internet platforms instead. It's not pretty (CSS is his kryptonite :neobun_3c:), but it continues to receive frequent updates when the average Neocities website is more abandoned than Nintendo's online or is just a linkdump. I aspire to also do the same on my own web-space, where I have almost always posted artworks there first before Fedi, FurAffinity, and Bluskey (some are even still exclusive there) :neobot_salute:

Richard Stallman's Masto account is a Guardian reposting account :neobot_3c:

@lain@lain.com POV: BrMeast realizes he wants his craft to have artistic value actually and decides to become a world-renowned filmmaker :gigachad:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Alegria has the intense soullessness of AI art before generative AI went mainstream :neocat_thumbsdown:

@phnt@fluffytail.org @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer I should try Monster energy :chu_face:

Channel I don't recognize at all is somehow in my subscriptions
They post bullshit I don't ever wanna watch
Check it further
Turns out I used to watch him around five years ago, when he used to make marginally less shitty but still meaningless drama commentary
Still not give a fuck about the older videos and appreciate that I don't watch shit like this anymore
"Unsubscribe"Free yourselves from the algorithm, frens. You will appreciate being able to build your worldview based on your values and not your addictions, and you will appreciate finding others' cool works on your own accord rather than having it spoon-fed to you. :blobfoxtea_w_:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Ngl, wonder if I should get a daybed or even a sleeping bag when I get the money to move out. My current bed is just too big :bongo_fat:

@nyx@social.xenofem.me @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @scathach@stereophonic.space all of these projects are constantly under siege by corporate interests trying to recuperate them into being basically unpaid internshipsHuh, now that I think of it, it seems that this is where the pushy, hippie-like attitude that many people criticize FOSS for comes from, even as annoying as it can legitimately be. In general, while software like GIMP is indeed poopy, I don't think people who have directly witnessed the gradual expansion of the surveillance state and the melting away of digital (and soon real-life civil) rights despite their best efforts to get everyone else against it before it was far too late would ever result in anything less than (valid) passive-aggressive behavior :drgn_cup:

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @lain@lain.com Awww!!! They're finding out the hard way that Youtube's algorithm is a race-to-the-bottom and AI diarrheashit is its new "golden child!" :blobfoxcute:

Retvrn to actually searching for media you want :drgn_hyper:
- Unhook extension and https://inv.nadeko.net unfucks the Youtube experience :ablobcat_popcorn:
- Third-party clients don't have an algorithm by default - Use these instead :blobcat_finger_guns:
- All Fedi platforms don't have an algorithm by default - Nothing to change here :blobfoxcomfysleepy:
- Stop using Bluskey's Discover Timeline, lol (it's not like you're even happy with its constant output of cheap political drama anyways) :drgn_thumbsdown:
- Stop using Tiktok and features like it, lol (it's not like you won't just watch Titkoks through an actually good platform anyways) :drgn_cup_drowsy:

@vitalis@dirtyknight.life It's a theory, but I think the thing is that excluding the branding, modern gaming laptops are kinda like the return of 2000s normal laptops for non-gamers. These things are allowed to once again primarily go for specs and still be portable enough to put in a bag :drgn_think__w_:

@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest @sun@shitposter.world I feel that although Bluskey bending its rules to allow Jesse Singal and its upcoming ToS change censoring artworks with non-con/dub-con are far worse for the userbase, this shit showed how immature the team is with any level of user support. Jay should've just taken the L and said that the team was personally okay with people like Jesse Singal. Instead, she was trying her best to dunk on those with legitimate concerns like it's a tease on video-game trolls and not the deliberate inaction against deal-breaking issues with what is now a mainstream platform that ~40 million people have built communities in.
