You guys are all the worst, I would never want to work with any of you. Do everyone a favor and grow up.
Decided to bring out my Linux laptop today.
Nice post, Kyle Judd from Kentucky.
So is this for real, or is this just so you guys can have an inbox you can easily ignore?
Has anyone here actually talked to the admin team and gotten a response back?
Every day I look at the modlog and see the same names doing the same bullshit.
Because some people are so illiterate they can't understand context clues even in written form where you have FOREVER to think about it and they NEED that stupid letter S at the end in order to go "ooooooooh ok thank god someone told me it was a joke, I was unable to think for myself and recognize it on my own."
Don't use your "neurodivergence" as an excuse to rationalize why you shouldn't think about things, it's actually sickening to see people falling into that belief.
Thanks for reading my post and replying individually to a lot of the things I wrote.
I still think the trans thing sticks out like a weird red flag to me. Literally never before has Youtube ever suggested anything trans related to me. Then for a day and a half after I was working on that spreadsheet, it showed up at the top of the suggested videos. Since then, I have never seen it again. So in short: years of nothing, nothing, nothing, TWO DAYS OF TRANS VIDEO SUGGESTIONS, and then since, nothing, nothing, nothing.
It is bizarre and very fucky. Even after reading a lot of people telling me that it is just The AlgoTM at work, that incident seems so razor specific to activity I was simply doing on my computer at the same time Youtube was open rather than anything that could be related to my personal interests.
Am I really being paranoid?
Some context I'll add to my main post in an edit: the only Youtube suggestions I get are music-related, since I use adblock+Youtube as my personal Spotify. It's why I have Youtube open frequently despite knowing that it is not a great platform and it is also why any suggestions in my feed that are explicitly not music-related stick out like a sore thumb.
Anyone know exactly what info Youtube captures from you from its browser version (and by what means)?
I know the prevailing sentiment for a long time in the privacy community has been "DAE Youtube bad?" though I have always thought that it is kinda overblown. Besides, I am using Firefox which is supposed to isolate tabs so they can't speak to each other, so I felt a small amount safer using Youtube.
You can take my post with a grain of salt since all I have are anecdotes, but can anyone else confirm encountering creepiness similar to my experiences:
-Typing anything in another window that is not my browser, sometimes these words seem like they get picked up by the Youtube suggestion algo and then boom, I get suggested videos based off of those keywords. Recent example, I was copypasting the words "trans" and "talking" over and over for some nerd spreadsheet I am making (read: not transgender purposes) and what do you know, transgender videos about "How to change your voice" start popping up in my feed. Please know I have zero interest in transgender politics/culture/anything, i
You actually sound stupid if somehow you read "underpowered" and then immediately jump to the conclusion of:
Why can’t I attack this clearly heavily armored enemy with a small calibre weapon and killed them instantly?
