  • No, she absolutely hates right-wing content and is definitely left. Asmongold is a grifter piece of shit human being who attracts alt-right viewers. It's not about her not being interested, she quite literally gets upset at the awful ideas and hate that those channels spread and doesn't want to see them. She never watches their videos on purpose, she's only ever clicked on them by accident, she always either clicks away immediately or dislikes the video, and never comments on them. She has repeatedly tried to block those channels. YT continues to show them.

  • I block content I’m not interested in and it goes away.

    I agree with this idea, but unfortunately YT and other engagement social media sites don't want that to happen. For me, I'm almost never shown videos I hate, but when I say "not interested/don't show me this channel" it USUALLY works. Not at the time though. I've definitely gotten channels recommended to me that I already said I don't want to see.

    This is especially true for my mom, who is frequently getting upset by the fact that YT keeps showing her Fox News and Asmongold clips in her recommendations. I think changing the VPN to Canada helped to reduce the Fox News recommendations, but the Asmongold clips can't be escaped.

  • 99% sure you had to use Safari though for it to work, and I liked FF more. But maybe I was dumb.

  • Do you think this potential list is appropriate? Other people suggested a minimum of 16 GB RAM.

  • Green bubble shaming is real and I felt it in middle school but more so in highschool from my own softball team. Hated that shit, but I loved my Moto g7 play so those bitches can fuck themselves.

  • So one pihole would be on the router, while the other runs on another piece of dedicated hardware?

  • The text was probably original, but it's become a copypasta, so this evil Snoo is definitely a shitpost.

  • Lol, depends on the group and mod level. Yeah, the overall Tiktok and Insta moderators get paid (poorly) to do their job, but do subreddit and individual sever Discord mods get paid?

    If we're talking about Fediverse, maybe the mods of an instance would get paid, but I can bet most Fedi mods rn aren't being paid, they do it for love.

    The biggest point is this:

    a team with tonnes of support from the get go, both each other and mental health services etc as a bare minimum

    There was a post the other day about protesting Tiktok mods who talked about the horrifying amounts of gore and NSFL stuff they had to remove from the service, getting no support nor concern for their well-being from Tiktok. So you can absolutely pay someone (although not well probably, even for a billion dollar company), but all the money in the world won't erase looking at 300 beheading videos.

    I think the biggest thing helping the Fediverse is the fact that it's fragmented and not meant to get too big per instance. No one is ever gonna have to moderate millions of accounts like big tech does. Mods can suspend sign-ups and set their own limits. We could make a pretend scenario where each instance is only 1K people, which is far easier than what YT and Insta have to do.

  • Direct message, basically when you message someone privately.

    Sad thing is, I knew the meaning of DM, but had to check what the actual abbreviation was...

  • TLDR: I probably wouldn't suggest playing 3 unless you're willing to play/watch the side games. The conclusion will not hit hard at all if you didn't play the side games.

    I literally just played through all the games (besides Re:coded, watched it) and I have conflicting feelings about it. Storyline wise, I didn't love or hate it, as some parts were really nice and heartwarming to see (I really loved the reunion of the other two trios) and certain worlds are nice to meet your fave characters (Toy Box my beloved). But the main plot feels both satisfying and meh. I watched the fandub of union x and got really excited to see the lore be teased more in 3, but because 3 tries to appease everyone (crowd who played all the games vs crowd who only played 1 & 2), they don't get to dive as deep as I wanted. I am more willing to ignore some of the bs and laugh rather than cringe, but I do understand why many find the plot corny.

    The combat... I've basically hated the combat in every KH game, BBS is the only one where scrolling through the skill menu didn't feel like ass, meanwhile DDD executes flowmotion beautifully (while it feels useless in 3), and yet CoM had my favorite system overall (might be my favorite game honestly). 3 controls are far better than KH 1, but the actual difficulty is non-existent and makes blocking feel almost useless. The attraction attacks are there I guess (my mom liked them lol). KH 1 normal mode had me near tears (Even the fucking Traverse Town Armor), CoM was frustrating but satisfying, 2 was boring besides the impossible super bosses, all of 358/2 was just awful overall, BBS was very normal until final boss, and DDD was slightly frustrating but beating the final boss was satisfying. 3 was a snooze fest besides final bosses that just made me go, "oh, I guess I won. I kinda just mashed x."

    IDK, I've had a KH shaped hole in my heart over these past two days, wondering what I want to play now that I got through my 2 month marathon. I both miss the games but also acknowledge that they get very repetitive and tiring over time. My mom only played 1,2 & 3 and has basically said KH and Square are dead to her.

    CoM, BBS, and DDD are a must to watch/play. 358/2 is only worth it if you like challenge missions (I skipped them, hated the gameplay), Fragmentary Passage is only on the 2.8 disc and is literally 4-5 hrs, and Re:coded is supposedly good gameplay but the plot is just "what if data simulation Riku and Sora went through KH 1 together?" And Union X is gonna be vital to watch for those preparing for KH 4.

  • Not sure now, as I stopped using it months ago, but no, they give you annoying teasers and force you to make an account to see more than the cropped pic. So people are actually signing up for this.

  • Sorry, corrected my post as I have confused several people lol. Proton has killswitch on mobile and PC, just not Fire TVs.

  • This guy cheated on 35 different women for gifts and you go:

    Also, what a legend.

    I hope that's a /s 😔

  • Yeah, definitely could be making faster improvements, and it's disheartening considering Pixelfed hasn't had major improvements either. But I'm not a coder, so other than the fact that I donated to the spring Kickstarter, I can't complain much.

  • Didn't realize you just wanted to scroll. Yeah, almost no instance requires registration to scroll. Once again, I think Loops is just requiring registrations now because the project is unfinished, and probably can't handle a large amount of users. They also need easy feedback from users.

  • But the virus will be removed when you install proxmox

    Oh yeah, if I do use it I was gonna fully wipe windows into oblivion

    I currently have 3 laptops in various degrees of old and broken being used as a proxmox cluster.

    Oh so you can cluster multiple devices? I'll have to check that out.

  • Interesting article, and I feel that it's pretty fair. At first, I thought they were talking about this checklist, but I see they're different. The version I followed doesn't seem to have the same issues (lists jurisdiction but doesn't give it a rating, doesn't list or rate encryption methods at all, no summary at the beginning, etc.).

    I think checklists/matrices still have their place, as listing all the branches/options might get too cluttered for a diagram, but I do understand why flowcharts (or the neat venn diagrams that get posted here often) can express information better. I don't think checklists are inherently biased, I just think you need a good decision maker behind the list.

  • Loops is still in beta, so there's no other instances yet, but it's gonna use ActivityPub like everyone else does so it can federate with Pixelfed (and probs mastodon). Also, like 90% of Fediverse instances require registration, usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit (CSAM, literal gore, etc.) from being posted. Just gonna have to wait a bit.

  • I was like, "Friendly's is dead?" for a terrifying second before I read this 🥹

    Actually I was like 5 the last time I ate there so it's really not that special to me but happy they're not dead yet. Started my love for gummy bears in ice cream.

  • I think we've got an old MacBook with a broken screen, and a Windows laptop that slowed down because got a virus on it. Didn't think I could use something with a broken screen, but I'll try it maybe.

    Edit: Not sure if I have their chargers though...
