Just wanted to say great job with this post! I like that you were quick to respond to questions/criticisms, updated the body with edits, and the huge thing of also updating the title and prominently calling out the right answer and the user that provided it.
WorldOfAntiquity is great, I donāt even see what could be āwrongā about these videos.
these slightly creepy old-perv vibes in his shorts/tiktok videos.
I donāt really watch his shorts much, but watched a few including the one you linked. Didnāt seem pervy to me at all.
The protagonist is usually a young woman half his age who probably wouldnt give him a second look.
Thatās because the majority of these kind of videos that heās replying to (what I like to call Witch History) are made by young women. You donāt really see academics or older people making videos like āten signs you lived in Atlantis in your past life,ā because itās an immature video topic to begin with, but if they did, Iām sure his replies would be just like this one.
I asked a couple of women at work about this and they said āpervā too, so I dont know. Miniminuteman does content shorts blasting poeple for similar beliefs but theyāre mostly guys, so I dont think its fair to say its a women only thing.
I do also think its wise for academics not to avoid socials as thats where the misinformation is spreading these days.
I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments arenāt especially funny or clever. Iād describe it more as āfailed comedyā than āold-pervā vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.
I think so. The āon a dateā scenario gives us a framework, two strangers who WANT to like each other. I donāt think that makes it creepy, it just saves him the trouble of creating a background for these characters. Then she starts saying these wacky things, and heās showing disappointment that this obviously wonāt work out, while also trying to be polite as they are having dinner together.
Tonerās role is being underplayed by the video. Sheās potentially calling Altman out, for underrating the dangers of AI.
At least Altman is lying about something - about how much OpenAI is going towards AGI in the short term. The above mightāve bought the bullshit fully, while Sutskever knows that itās bullshit.
Iām not sure if the board is also lying or not.
The boiling point was likely OpenAI potentially receiving some cash grant from some scummy party, that would be in a moral grey area considering the "non-"profit goals of the company.
Everybody will get a bit more of free popcorn for a while. šæ This mess is far from over.
Iām not a fan of PETA either but that source doesnāt say anything about animal rights groups claiming sheep are killed for their wool. Why lie dude?
I heard PETA also started the plague and fellated Hitler.
Seriously, the campaign against PETA must be one of the most successful examples of propaganda in history. Even people whose views are aligned with the goals and actions of PETA hate PETA. Because theyāve read somewhere (but canāt quite remember where) that PETA are evil hypocrites, deny the holocaust and kill animals for fun.
They were called in by the owner of the trailer park to capture wild dogs and cats
They encounter a dog running around without a leash or any supervision
They capture it, as instructed by the landlord, who owns the property
The only thing they really did do wrong was not wait the mandatory 5 days before they put the dog down.
But the reality is: If youāre running the only animal shelter around that wonāt turn away animals, youāll be forced (by law) to euthanize a lot of them. What else are you going to do? You canāt just let the animals loose, no one else will take them and more are coming in daily.
PETA is catching flak for carrying out the consequence of people breeding and then abandoning dogs, which is the real crime.
Yeah again I wouldnāt recommend it, it seems a bit unnecessary. There are a huge number of environmentally friendly vegan clothing options.
I get omnivores telling me I can replace my vegan food with literal corpses. Dead animals are definitely less environmentally friendly than what Iām eating.
Itās just clickbait like most of his videos, I never really liked Chrissā videos, the tip of the iceberg was when he told people to disable kernel mitigation for a presumable performance boost (I tested it with disconnected network, it was like 2% on my machine), which is just plain dumb.
Use whatever distro you like, just know that you donāt have to distrohop for some program (DE or WM or whatever). I personally use endeavour, simply because Iāve used arch (and derivatives) for a while now and endeavour is just arch with sensible defaults and a lot of the configuration one would do anyway already done.
yeah i guess this one didnt scream clickbait as much as the other videos of his. I got some in my feed afterwards and quickly realised that this guy doesnt shy away from using clickbait titles.
What is DE or WM? Is it actually that easy to change distro? Dont you have to basically install everything again from scratch? I read somewhere that you can seperate your directories on your SSD so that you can just change the kernel but i dont know how easy or true that is
DE is desktop environment (like gnome, kde, xfce,ā¦) And WM is window manager (like i3, sway, xmonad,ā¦) Which is just a slim version of a de, they usually donāt include things like guis for settings, file managers, ā¦ and you just pick what you like and use that. The window manager is responsible for placing the windows in your workspace and most standalone wms are tiling, so they use your monitor space efficiently instead of putting floating windows all over the place. Basically the DE (or WM) is what you interact with most on your PC and a lot of beginners distrohop just to use a different DE when in reality you can just install the other de on your existing system, log out and select the new DE in your login screen.
The biggest differences between distros nowadays are their release cycles and their package managers (and the tepos theyāre using, like Ubuntu and Debian both use apt, but have separate repos)
And no you canāt really change distro without reinstalling, you can change kernels tho, every distro will update their kernels from time to time and itās just a matter of install the new package and reboot into the new kernel.
With separate directories you probably mean partitions, which Iād also say itās advisable to have your /home partition separated from your / partition. That way if you ever have to reinstall or want to change distro you can just install into the root partition and afterwards add your old/home partition to /etc/fstab and keep all youāre user data and configuration
interesting, so every DE has a WM or are can only one of them at a time be used? And if you use a WM you have to install guis, file managers yourself? I think the only thing i would want is a DE/WM that has tabs for folders. I think its a neat feature to have
The basic GUI experience in X is provided by the window manager. It controls how your windows are placed ( eg. Tiling vs Stacking / Floating ), how they are decorated ( eg. Max / Min / Close buttons ), and how they behave ( eg. Click to focus ). In X, the window manager runs as an application on the X server. You can only use one at a time.
In Wayland, the āwindow managerā is the display-server too and is called a compositor. For smaller projects, there are compositor libraries that provide similar capabilities to what the X server did so that these projects can concentrate on the āwindow managerā part. You can think of a Wayland compositor as equivalent to an X window manager ).
A Desktop Environment comes with a window manager ( or compositor ) and adds other tools that run alongside ( or on top of ) the window manager to provide a full user experience. This may include panels ( eg. think Windows start button, icon bar, and status tray ), docks ( like MacOS ), global menus, notification applets, and the desktop surface itself ( eg. are there icons or other features on the desktop ). A DE usually comes with a standard set of basic applications like a file manager, image viewer, document viewer, media player, and the like.
If you start with a basic window manager then yes you have to add all this other stuff yourself. Of course you may not want some of it and so can have a much lighter experience. You can also just choose tools that you like. Of course, they may not match visually or work perfectly together.
If you use a DE, the experience is curated for you and everything is more likely to work well out of the box. That said, nothing stops you from swapping out whatever components you want. You can even use a different window manager than the DE default.
While I admit most of my arch reinstalls are mostly the same,I feel that archinstall script is genuinely good now with most defaults I need. The rest I can just add it in the installer extra packages or chroot post install (which is offered as a choice at the end).
I just could never bring myself to use distros that are technically the same distro with calamares slapped in top and whatnot. I mean āpacman -S {packages}ā is straightforward enough for me.
