I get what you mean, but don’t hate the player, hate the game. Even tho channels [have to] do that, there’s still a wide variety of content and the call to action doesn’t define the style of each individual creator.

Tbh, I don’t think there is a definite “youtube style” that describes all content on youtube. There are some similarities and within categories of videos you can find styles that are more popular within that category, but site wide I would say it provides quite a bit of variety.

What could be called youtube style is that it’s not TV. In that sense YT style and TV style maybe make some sense.

Thank you for putting all of this so succintly. I’m not into teaching, but I’ve done a few workshops and I always struggle to express the attitude you described to get the pupils engaged.

I had this same attitude when I was a student. Even though my professors were older and more knowledgable, I always tried to approach them as peers and it worked out great. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but because I talked, I could use my strengths better because I was more aware of the expectations and requirements than a portion of other students.

I saw them live circa 2016, amazing band. Very energetic.

I’ll try reading this, I could really do with a fresh perspective. Just commenting so I can find the thread later.

I already changed my mind and decided to abort the mission. I foresaw that if not for the GPU then I would have a bunch of other issues that I really don’t have the time to waste on fixing just to play a game.

It looks like a great game tho, I’ve wishlisted it until I get a gaming PC.

I’m thinking of dual-booting Linux on my M1 Air to play this. I assume it’s going to be capable enough to run this game?

It’s a man’s job to grill.

I mostly let my girlfriend do that. I trust her way more with food than I trust myself.

I usually just get the fire started.

I’ve massively slowed down and passed the reins to a new admin, but I’ve been documenting and posting the graffiti scene in my city for 12 years. Started on Tumblr, migrated to Facebook and now it’s on Instagram.

Care to share?

I haven’t been on dA for at least 10 years. I used to upload to Flickr regularly, but now everything I post is on IG and I keep telling myself I will make a photo portfolio someday.

What makes a good portfolio? I feel like I’m constantly lying and it’s a pain in the ass to find clients, even though I’m confident in my technical skills.

I like this as a way of rubberducking. Not on the internet though. Don’t argue with stupid on the internet.

The Count of Monte Cristo

Is “kinda” a legitimate answer?

I’ve got a fake FB account for the marketplace.

And I’ve got 4 Instagram accounts. But I don’t really use instagram that much anymore and haven’t since the start of pandemic when it just made me feel awful. I install the app when I need to/want to post a reel or a story. Otherwise I sometimes post pictures from my laptop and do some lurking.

So I feel like I’ve broken free from the scrolling prison, but I still use the platform. Sometimes.

Hey. I was going to make that pun.

axioms have entered the chat

The deeper you go in the why territory, the more abstract and tangental your axioms get.

So yeah. All facts and truths ultimately rest on foundations that are either kinda unobservable or unproven. Doesn’t make them less practical or true (by practical definitions) though.

Well ACTSHUALLY, depending on your definition of the middle ages, you wouldn’t be very likely to be killed for being a witch, since the witch hunt came into being after the Reneissance.

That said, I would also take the spices. The amount of spices in that picture would probably set me up for life. Buy a nice place somewhere in Northern Italy and live out my days learning to play the moog, amusing my medieval friends.

I know this yet I still do it. I guess this should be preceeded by “gauge your entry speed”.

This is really interesting and a good way to think about a bunch of things. I’ll try it out. I do pay some attention to processes, but not to granular detail.

This is a very rationalistic worldview though. Surely you don’t look at everything as a process?

Might be a silly question, but aren’t SSD’s supposedly worse than HDD’s for storing data long term? Or is that just a myth?

I’ve read that if you only store data and then read it off the disk without overwriting then it’s comparable to HDD data degradation wise. Not sure how true is that.
