It’s because he called the event ‘We, Robot’. So it’s fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla’s humanoids and the robots within the movie.

I was thinking about disabling explorer from running or at least kill it at boot up. And then using an alternative file explorer and task bar.

Linux doesn’t have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it’s just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.

What’s an alternative to explorer?

Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.

You clearly haven’t looked at either article. Parasocial relationships are weird.

I guess you’re right because I didn’t properly look at the hackaday article.

Alec has paraphrased the Tedium article. All of the talking points of Alec’s video is in the article.

The hackaday article just summarised the 16 minute video into 4 short paragraphs and linked to Alec’s video.

Edit: I like interactions like this (the comment thread since my first comment) because it highlights how easy it is for people to make judgements based on a lack of knowledge. It reminds me to try to not make assumptions.

Yes. I didn’t misspeak.

I disagree with your statement about not seeing this type of behaviour on Reddit and it appearing civil and intellectual comparison.

And Alec’s video is mostly a freeboot off someone’s article.

So this is a full on article and YouTube circle jerk.

Same SSDs are about 40% more expensive today than they were this time last year.

I dislike the pricing structure. Their family plan indicates the true cost of YouTube premium. To me it indicates that for a single person plan, the price should be about 1/3-1/2 of its current price.

If it really came down to it and they continue the current pricing structure, they I’d begrudgingly pay. And don’t get me wrong, I’d pay for it now if the price for an individual plan was more reasonable.

Comparing a person computer to another personal computer

Why are you so angry? Do you want to talk about it?

“Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.”

Likewise, I think it’s really stupid to be looking at content you have zero interest in. And likewise, don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone.

Thanks for the belittling tone of your statement there 😉. You just have a different point of view.

How can you waste so much time looking at content that you have zero interest in? Don’t you have stuff to actually do in life, or are you one of these people that get bored because you’ve got nothing to do?

I’m a person that never gets bored. I always have something I want to do. I don’t have time to be doing things that aren’t necessary to survive and things I don’t enjoy.

I know who I am, and what I like. My interests are quite broad and I know what I don’t want to see. I prefer to white list my interests on Lemmy than black list the things I have zero interest in. Even thought my interests are quite broad, white listing is significantly shorter. In an infinite number of interests, my 1000 interests are significantly shorter than infinity-1000.

Edit: When I gain a new interest, which is usually a sub interest of another interest I have then I’ll look for the community on Lemmy/Reddit/other forums.

When I first started Reddit many years ago I learnt that all is usually full of rage bait content. I avoid rage bait as much as possible. I guestimate that all on Lemmy is exactly the same since most Lemmy users were/are Reddit users.

Why do you want to browse stuff that you have zero interest in? I imagine it to be a massive waste of time.

I’d prefer to view only the communities I’ve subbed to and see that there is no new contributions than look at stuff I have no interest in because I can turn off Lemmy and do something else with my day.

I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.

I agree. I think what you describe is also seen in sponsor block.

People mark story telling videos mostly as filler content, so a beautiful 10 minute video is chopped down to only a minute or two and most of what makes the video great is removed.

Live music sets where people segment out the intro and outro to songs, so tracks are mashed together for a non-stop music experience, which I think misses the mark with live music.

I also find a lot of sponsor segments are done quite badly like the person who made them doesn’t care or is in a rush. Eg. Today I came a sponsor segment that started 11 seconds too early. I only recognised it because it kicked in half way through a sentence.

Don’t get me wrong, I still use the extension; I’ve just disabled most of the auto actions.

Many moons ago I tried Darrow for a day and got the same feeling as what your described. I decided the original video titles are superior and disabled the extension.

I was just curious about why 4 million plays is ~$20 and 1 million plays is less than a dollar.

Do you pay them any money to have the songs on the platforms?

If not, I wonder if they charge you a fee but only deduct their fee from your earnings. So if you don’t get plays then they don’t ask for money. And the break even point is at around 1 million plays. Just a theory of course; I’m sure it’s all stated in the fine print.

Based on your numbers, ~260k plays per dollar. The person in the submission would have to get ~2600 billion plays to get $10 million.

Something doesn’t seem right with those numbers.

There are people on forums doing the same thing as the person in the submission. 1 person with ~30 phones can generate about 15-20k streams in a day doing it manually.
