    It seems like a general, global sentiment to me due to the internet and not just on the internet. I think it’s the combination of our society being more global than ever, and the vastly increased amount of professions due to technological advancement. There’s just way too much information that an average person comes in contact with, our monkey brains weren’t designed for this.

    Nope, it also recommends streams based on what other people watch from the channels you’re following, it’s not only based on your viewing data. Other aggregates like generally what’s popular might get thrown into the mix as well.

    To test this create a fresh account, follow Asmongold & let his streams run for a while, after some time the recommendations are going to be full of booby streams.

    It’s kind of a running joke at this point that if you watch him you’re going to get booby stream recommendations because his viewers are degens.



  • I feel you, my problem is that I switch between languages too much. I’m learning rust right now as a hobby, but I’m technically a frontend dev with years of experience in angular and react, and a couple months ago I have been put on a legacy rails project, which we’re rewriting for Angular x Java stack (thankfully my roommate is a Java backend dev, he’s been a lot of help) and on top of this I maintain my Cyberpunk 2077 mods written in lua, c++ and redscript (swift-like).

    Send help.






  • I switched about 2 years ago when I turned on sync. It’s just so reliable and fast, it’s simple and does its job perfectly. Frequently send tabs between devices and it’s instantaneous, bookmarks get synced immediately as well. Also they promise they don’t sell our data to advertisers which is a plus, though I can’t verify it and they could go rogue in the future idk. Also the fact that the browser is not intrusive at all is a huge plus. No annoying popups “try feature X” “login with your google account now” etc etc.

    I do have some issues with it but that’s mostly because some people/companies don’t properly test their website on firefox. Also had an issue with its performance in the past, but now lately it feels as fast as chrome both on android and pc.



  • I’m completely aware of the financial issues YouTube is facing, but they got themselves into this mess (and most other companies as well, who provide a service for “free”). They make users accustomed to a level of service, build a userbase and ride on investments with the expectation that they’ll figure out how to make money when they reach mass adoption.

    The fact that youtube premium took years to even conceptualize is a massive failure on their part. Or how 1080p+ video wasn’t a paid feature to begin with. Making your users get used to a level of service, then making their experience more miserable and selling a solution to the problem they made does not bode well with people who have been on the platform before “things turned to shit”.

    It also doesn’t help that the first course of action was to increase the amount of ads, increase retainment, “enshifficate” the platform in order to increase the time people spend on the site (=more ad revenue). Now I’m at a point that I can’t use YouTube without uBlock, sponsorblock, return youtube dislikes and Revanced (includes the latter two extensions for mobile), turning useless features off (or with the case of dislikes, back on) and stopping the bombardment of ads.

    Youtube premium would still provide me with a worse experience, so why would I switch? They should figure out how to provide people additional value for their money, and shouldn’t have accustomed people to a level of service that they 100% knew wouldn’t be sustainable.



  • The answer to your question is the indie market. Lots of unique ideas, ton of games that are a product of passion and not profit chasing.

    My personal recommendation because I don’t see it mentioned a lot is Pathologic 2. Product of decades of work and one of my favorite RPGs where every single choice you make does matter. It’s a pretty bleak and heavy game that has about a 30 hour runtime and it’s really stressful so it’s not for everyone but I personally loved it.


  • This is fake (like all of these conversation screenshot posts, welcome to the internet, where have you been) and what makes it funny is the fact that it’s fake. If a man posted it as “I’ve got harassed by X and this is my story” the majority would react similarly to you (some ppl would still be haha funny as we can see from actual sh/sa posts and those people can go fuck themselves). But it isn’t, we all know it’s fake, we all laugh about the absurdity of it and that’s it.
