Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

This, the algorithm doesn’t care whether you like enjoy it or not, it cares whether you engage with it or not. Even dislikes are engagement.

It is buzzword bullshit.

And a fad, probably. Everyone's trying to capitalize on the wow effect of ChatGPT.

Before AI it was neural network, and before that it was machine learning.

First step would probably be to decouple healthcare from being company, so people realize how expensive their health plans are and how much they pay for stuff most people don't end up needing. Pretty sure for most people it's more expensive than their single yearly checkup would be out of pocket.

Then, make state-wide and state-owned insurance plans that are capped in profits, so the rates have to match the true cost of things.

Let it simmer for a bit, get people to get used to the idea that the government provided service is actually good and cheaper for once.

Then make it mandatory for every state resident to be covered by it.

The big problem with universal healthcare in the US is the strong individualistic mindset, those that go "but I don't want to pay for other people's hospital bills". Ease all those people that think they'll suddenly be paying way more to subsidize other people's health care into realizing it ends up cheaper because the costs are amortized over way more people. It needs to be spun up as a benefit to them, they're getting a better deal on their health insurance. Because they simply don't care about other people's problems.

One thing that struck me living in the US is just how much distrust there is for anything government operated, even though it's usually the companies they love so much that nickel and dime them. Although seeing how the politics are going right now, I kind of understand that sentiment. And pretty much every company does try to squeeze you out of your money, which makes people want to screw the companies over. Land of the fees.

– People choose to share nudes or go into porn for a very wide variety of reasons, and you should not be assuming anything about their self-esteem, dignity or self-worth, because you don’t know them or anything about them other than they chose a different lifestyle than yours.

I have an entire friend group that shares nudes like it’s selfies because for us it’s just body parts like any other and we can admire the beauty of the human body. No feelings of vice or dirtiness involved whatsoever. I can go around seeing naked people and just appreciate the beauty without feeling dirty or even thinking about sexual intercourse and look respectfully. I feel comfortable being naked around my friends, I’ve been around friends literally hooking up next to me, it’s no big deal at all. I’m cute you’re cute, do you wanna sword fight? I’ll happily talk about my sexual life (within respect of privacy of course). I’ll talk you through your kitty issues and not think any differently. It’s healthy in my opinion.

IMO healthy porn exists, there’s a whole world between anti porn and hardcore fetish porn. I see nothing wrong with a casual pair of boobies or a dick.

Some people are indoctrinated by religion to feel like their body is dirty and needs to be hidden away, and feel shame to even think about sex or feel sexually stimulated by anyone but their spouse, and that’s okay if that’s their choice. And for some people it’s just normal life stuff. I personally think religion is harmful and worthless but I don’t go around calling people practicing it low life sheeps with no self worth or sexually frustrated closeted perverts.

Apart from Debian, I guess Alpine. It's quite popular in containers for its small size. Even Arch will be much bigger in that case because the packages are much less granular and install development libraries and headers for about everything.

Guess I should have said it cost me nothing extra because I already own the server.

Although Oracle’s free tier exists.

My instance exists for me and my friends to use. It’s not meant to attract anybody, it’s meant to serve me.

It costs me nothing and I’m permanently in control of my data, and it’ll live however long I want it to live, it updates when I decide I want to update it, if I want features I can just patch them in. When I make a PR, it goes on my instance first to try it out properly. I can post 10GB files from my instance if I want to, I’m the one that will pay for the bandwidth in the end.

I bet if you look at the profile of the admin of those “abandoned” instances, you’ll find they’re active on Lemmy. They just have their own private instance just for themselves.

Doesn’t matter if lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or beehaw.org goes down: I still got all the content and they’ll eventually federate out when they come back up.

Also Tesseract is a new one: tesseract.dubvee.org

Wrong community.

But to answer, it's a different frontend for Lemmy. There's the default, Alexendrite, Photon, mlmym.

Different apps, same way to browse lemmy.

Yeah, decoupling cap here might as well just help OP fry the chip more effectively by ensuring it can sink all that current.

Solution here is probably a transistor/MOSFET that the chip turns on, which in turn turns on the relay. Relay coils are inductors, so that probably also needs a diode to protect the transistor from inrush current and also the kickback when it turns off: inductors resist changes, so it’ll try to keep sinking the current and result in temporary spike of very high voltage: spinningnumbers.org/a/inductor-kickback.html

Had to reinstall Lemmy - did I break federation?

I’m wondering if this post will even go through**. Long story short, I had to rebuild my Lemmy instance without importing the old data. I manually recreated my account (Knova@links.dartboard.social) and was able to subscribe to communities (although everything says “subscription pending”*). But it doesn’t seem like my...

So, it'll still take a little while before it settles down, but I've seen other people in the admin chat do the same thing and it eventually recovered.

As for the subscriptions, part of the problem is the remote instance thinks you're already subscribed. I think if you unsubscribe and resubscribe it may go through, but you may also just need to use a new account name.

Why is everyone outraged when Google/Microsoft/Yahoo and others have scraped the whole internet for two decades and are also massively profiting from that data?

My network randomly drops. A restart fixes but I can't even download Cyberpunk with my 1GB connection before it crashes. Klogs showed something about the network manager successfully shutting down but I can't find much else.

Share the output of sudo dmesg logs as well as sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager | cat. The first is the kernel logs about what's going on with your connection, and the second one is from the utility that manages networking on most systems (there's alternatives but pretty sure Manjaro uses NM). It should give us more info as to the reason of the disconnections.

No Radeon software. I sometimes need to record clips/ stream so relive is nice but the biggest problem is my second 1080p monitor I Super Resolution to fit more programs on it. I can't find a way to replicate that functionality. I also do not know how to control Radeon anti-lag, chill, Smart Memory Access, etc.

Most of these things are more deeply integrated on Linux, so you don't need to worry about them for the most part. Some of them are also buzzwords for marketing purposes for features that really should be default on, which on Linux, when it's reasonable, do default to on. For example, you don't turn Smart Memory Access on: if it can use it, it will use it. Same with VRR, at least on Wayland: just on by default on KDE.

  • ReLive: you can use any screen recorder that will work on any GPU. Right now with the Wayland transition it's a bit weird and OBS is the better choice there, but on an Xorg session you can just use something like Simple Screen Recorder. On KDE, Spectacle, the default screenshot utility also has the ability to record short video clips but it can be a little buggy.
  • Super Resolution: just set the monitor's scaling to less than 100% in the display settings. It's technically probably better than Super Resolution for apps that supports <100% scaling, because instead of making a fake 4K display for example, it'll render everything at 1080p still but instead cause apps to render smaller, achieving the same result but with the potential of remaining pixel perfect. It won't be doing any AI scaling though, so YMMB.
  • Anti-lag: it's kind of a hack, and on Linux we're trying to get things right for the graphics stack with Wayland. But if you're running Wayland, KWin is already doing what it can to reduce lag on the desktop, and individual applications have to implement similar methods if they want to. Have you run into specific things where it's noticeable? Linux is generally pretty good when it comes to input lag already.
  • Chill: you can run games in Valve's gamescope wrapper to limit framerate. That's exactly how they do it on the Steam Deck. You can also use CoreCtrl to underclock the GPU.
  • Smart Memory Access: it's just marketing for Resizable BAR, and it's on by default. You can check with sudo dmesg | grep BAR=, if it's greater than 256M and equal to your GPU's memory size, it's working.

HDR controls. Nothing in the display settings so I'm lost

Yeah that one's still WIP unfortunately. It's technically possible on Xorg but you have to run everything HDR all the time and things break. It's coming along fairly well!

Alternative Software I haven't spent a lot of time looking but things like wallpaper engine, rainmeter, powertoys.

  • Wallpaper Engine -> KDE's desktop backgrounds have a lot of options to do similar stuff including animated wallpapers. Go to change your wallpaper, there's a button to download new modules and new backgrounds. For example: store.kde.org/p/1413010
  • rainmeter -> Conky, or KDE's desktop widgets. Right click on your desktop, add graphical component.
  • powertoys -> A lot of those have built-in and better equivalents. Fancy zones: we've had that as standard for a good decade here. You can also fairly easily make your own or use other people's KWin scripts, which lets you manipulate the desktop however you want. Here's some examples: store.kde.org/browse?cat=210&amp;ord=latest

You can even download desktop effects, if you like your windows to burn down or have a glitch effect or whatever: store.kde.org/browse?cat=209&amp;ord=latest

It takes some time to adjust, but welcome abord! Depending on how much you customize, you may find it difficult to go back to Windows!
