Hey! That was my taco! It’s been just like a taco to me!

…???

I’m so lost here.

This is a plinko situation. You can drop identical plinko chips in the same place, ten different times and get 10 different outcomes.

Same thing here. How things play out all depend on who committed suicide, how good looking the bully is, the race of the bully, which cops investigate, how well liked the victim is, which direction the wind was blowing at 12:37pm, ect ect ect.

…?

What am I missing here?

No no no. You’re thinking of Seaseme Street. The count. He counts.

How many times can I make bad jokes? 1…2…3!!! Ah ah ah!

Politics of your cars extended warrenty? I don’t understand!

…oh. I see. You bought a Tesla. You deserve to be hassled.

Oh they HAD enough children. The majority just died early. Disease, fire, cliffs, dinosaurs eating them. It was rough.

This is like someone who has faulty math, faulty logic, and fails on every level of a mathematical process. They have nothing but errors when they show their math, but somehow come up with the right answer.

Well, in the early 2000s, WWE had a faction called Evolution. Ric Flair was part of it.

So yes.

What? Is that not how this works?

Actually it’s pronounced “ra-cist ass-hole”

I’m not sure peertube HAS thousands of viewers

It’s not about adoption. It’s about money.

Superfamousguy (a youtube user I just ficticiously created to represent every single big name youtuber) doesn’t make videos in their room talking about whatever, and uploads whenever.

These guys have a strict schedule. They need to shoot today. Edit tonight, upload tomorrow exactly at 11am. Because their users are conditioned to expect those videos at those times. So they get sponsored, and now advertisers are promised an average viewcount on the dominant video platform at a certain time. They’re paying superfamousguy money for those promises.

It’s not a hobby, it’s a job. And advertisers are not going to be willing to touch peertube because it’s handled by so many fragmented cases that it’s impossible for peertube to have the stability of youtube.

So, I’m not saying peertube can’t grow. I’m just saying its decentralized nature will scare most advertisers away. Without the advertisers, superfamousguy can’t make a living. And at that point it doesn’t matter if peertube has twice as many viewers as youtube. Without money, these professionals cant fund their crew, they can’t make videos, and thus stick to youtube.

Holy shit! Clearing just the cache worked! Now it’s back to normal!!!

Here’s the weird thing. It doesn’t matter if I’m logged out or logged in. It’s not all of lemmy. It seems to be JUST lemmy.world.

I don’t have a lemm.ee account, but that one works fine. Whereas lemmy.world, even logged out is still a mess.

Now for the other weird bit. If I enable secret mode, the website works fine.

I’m thinking of downloading a new browser and seeing if that changes things.

I’ve literally heard for 15-20 years now that “This is the year of linux! It’s so much easier and better than windows!”

My response has been that if Linux ever had an interface that’s intuitive, and non-techies can take to instantly, Linux would actually grow. Their reply each time is that “Linux is getting more popular by the day!”. And that’s true. However, it’s a bit misleading. About a year ago I read that Linux was at the highest usage it’s ever had, at roughly 5% of the market.

Think about that. Linux has been around in some form since 1991, and it’s always been free (with a few exceptions). A free platform can’t compete against Apple, who’s notorious for being ungodly expensive, and Windows, who’s known for being costly in it’s own right, and also terribly optimized. Still running certain code in the background since windows 95. Yet Linux, as of a year ago cracked an all time high of 5%. Which may as well be a rounding error.

The ONLY reason I use linux as my daily driver, is because my other daily driver, which I haven’t booted in a few months, is Windows 7. And I’m not even worried about the security issues. It’s just gotten sluggish, and less and less things work on it over time. It’s easier to just use linux, as I mostly just use it as a means to open a browser anyways. My desktop looks more like Windows XP than linux. It just doesn’t act like Windows XP.

That’s what we need. A Linux distro that functions exactly like a modern day Windows XP. I think Windows XP couldn’t handle hard drives with more than 4TB. So, obviously that’s something a modern OS would fix. But the idea of just clicking .exe files, and installing them like on windows? That works for me. All the stuff Linux users hate about windows? If it were optimized and modernized, I’d take that over traditional Linux experiences.

But I will never use Windows 10 or especially 11. Fuck that.

By that definition, linux is doing something wrong. Despite it being my daily driver, I have zero clue how it works, or how to do anything.

100x worse if the word “terminal” is used.

Damn. So it’s a me problem.

sigh

I’ve seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?

I get this individual meme…I just don’t get the format.

Well…it might not be in his pants yet. It’s perfectly well established that he’s full of shit.
