- Comment on YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users 4 weeks ago:
Less people watching on desktop can also track with less people actually owning desktops or using them to watch YouTube
Not what’s happening. The change can be pinpointed to an exact specific date for everyone. It’s just statistically impossible to explain that away as “fewer people are watching”
- Comment on YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users 5 weeks ago:
It’s not related. A bunch of different content creators across a bajillion different genres have publicly shared that it’s one specific type of view (desktop views) affected in their analytics (no other view type shows any statistical difference), and it’s acting the same way for everyone.
It’s just not that total views are down… it’s evidence that YouTube has changed the way they are counting the views of PC viewers.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 3 months ago:
When I hit the mid-40s, I realized I was running into at least five things a day that turned me into the “man ages 50 years in five seconds” meme from the end of Saving Private Ryan.

Plenty of issues overall, sure, but I’m speaking specifically about the statistical inability to vote for third parties and have it mean anything.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
First past the post voting is the sole issue that is keeping legitimately contending third parties off of our ballots.
Installing ranked choice voting (or one of its very close cousins) is the the number one reformation change that can be made to give the people their voices back. So of course, the powers that be are terrified of it… no surprises here.
- Comment on Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy? 5 months ago:
I don’t see much talk of Lemmy on Reddit, but I’m primarily only on Reddit for a small handful of niche subreddits where no one talks about these things anyway.
- Comment on YSK that if you hover your mouse over each segment of Wikipedia's IPA pronunciation key (typically found at the beginning of an article), it will let you know how it sounds in the tooltip 7 months ago:
The IPA is fantastically interesting.
I don’t agree with people who think it should replace our standard alphabets and syllabarries (it is jarring, at least in my opinion, to essentially read other people’s accents from written text when they don’t match your own), but it can be pretty useful in some situations. where you’re actually studying accents, or the most common ways things are said in other languages.
- Comment on Should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea? 10 months ago:
One would think that out of all countries, South Korea should be the least worried about North Korean nuclear attack. They’re next door neighbors a handful of miles apart from each other geographically, and wind exists to carry fallout right back to Kim Jong Un’s house.
Same reasons it always seems so odd whenever Russia threatens to nuke Ukraine.
