- Comment on How I Left YouTube 1 day ago:
I initially though that, but then read your comment and thought it was about someone leaving a job being a creator on YouTube, not leaving a job at the company YouTube.
Also, I’m not sure why you say YouTube is a right wing hellhole. Most of the creators I watch aren’t political at all, and creators like Some More News are on there, and great.

It’s game streaming, except you stream an entire PC.
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 4 days ago:
To elaborate on this, since watching this video I’ve paid attention to how sponsorships provide discounts to viewers of creators, and it’s often via URLs. eg. service.com/creator_name, not with a discount code. That way, a website can track how many people went to the URL, not how many used whatever code is associated with that URL. Maybe you could simply create a different listing for the same product instead of relying on discount codes, this different listing only being accessible via the creator links. I’m not sure if Honey would figure out how to navigate that as well or not.
I’d totally be interested to hear more on how companies deal with this, and if there are better ideas than the one I came up with as I typed this comment.

BeamNG is another example of this. That said, it’s one of the highest selling automotive games on Steam iirc.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 6 days ago:
Yeah, it’s the same in terms of software maintence, but you aren’t doing the entirety of hosting yourself, as someone else is actually physically hosting your server. You don’t have to add HDDs when you run out of space, if that company goes down your servers go down, etc. It’s like semi-self hosting? I’m not sure what a good term for it would be.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 6 days ago:
Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 6 days ago:
Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 1 week ago:
What’s the benifit of E2EE file storage on a self hosted server? I use FileBrowser Quantum, and it’s super nice, as I can access the same shared drives that I access at home.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
I have a Hisense. It has an input button on the remote, and I just use that to go between inputs. I’m only reminded it’s a smart TV when the power goes out and I see the Google TV boot screen.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
Using that would require having my TV connected to the internet, which I refuse to do.
- Comment on What is the problem here? 1 week ago:
In some places it’s too close, but in many places (like the top) it’s way too far away.
- Comment on Disney Invests $1 Billion in the AI Slopification of Its Brand 1 week ago:
Wait, I heard about this and assumed the money had changed hands in the opposite direction. Why the fuck would Disney be paying OpenAI to use their intellectual property? That’s not how that has ever worked.

- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’m not saying I like it or that it’s how it should be. It’s just how it is. I basically go to reddit last these days.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 2 weeks ago:
Niche communities that simply don’t exist on Lemmy. If your only hobbies are tech, lemmy probably covers all of your bases, but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.
- Comment on Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z 3 weeks ago:
The Linux approach did take some getting used to, of course, but mounting drives to folders just makes too much sense. The only qualm I’ve had with it is if the drive doesn’t get mounted and stuff gets written to that folder, which, AFAIK, isn’t possible in windows.
Also, tbf (and balanced), windows also supports mounting drives to folders.
- Comment on Aluminium OS will be Google’s take on Android for PC 3 weeks ago:
You’d be excited for a Linux distro that’s less open and owned by Google? Forget about the AI, why would I want Android on my PC where better alternatives exist?
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
I ran Jellyfin and plex for a while, using Jellyfin instead of plex at every oppurtunity. Then Jellyfin broke, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it in an evening, and I just went back to using Plex, which had continued working. It isn’t great, sure, but it’s fine. I think Jellyfin would need to be Immich levels of cool for me to switch.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 4 weeks ago:
My grandpa bought a 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale 25 years ago. He kept it up, and now it’s mine. It was a top trim luxury car when it was new, and it has screws exposed on things like the A pillars. My 1993 Subaru Loyale also has exposed screws everywhere. It’s so fucking nice, as compared to my newer vehicles where I break 17 plastic tabs off trying to remove the A pillar trim. It’s asinine, exposed screws look dope.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 4 weeks ago:
Often it could be compatible, but the developers just don’t bother. The anit-cheat that GTAO implemented works on Linux in other games, but not GTA, because they can’t be bothered to give a fuck.

OneWheel is the manufacturer.
- Comment on Self hosted Onedrive alternative 5 weeks ago:
I’ve set up filebrowser quantum and am pretty happy with it. I also have skipped over nextcloud due to the reasons you mentioned, as I really don’t want all of the extra stuff, plus, I’ve heard it’s a pain to maintain. Seafile wouldn’t work for me for the same reasons as you.
The main thing it’s missing is offline automatic syncing of files, though I’m not sure any self hosted file app supports that unfortunately.

One wheels aren’t shit for being dangerous, they’re shit for bricking the device if you try to replace the fucking battery, as well as other anti-consumer practices.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
The same reason people go into debt for a burrito. It’s easier for people to justify a smaller cost now, and valve will make than money back later with extra games sold, especially in the case of the Frame.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
Hearing that is so refreshing. Microsoft/Google would never put something like that on their website because you are the product.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
Exactly, but I don’t see anything keeping them from selling the Frame at a loss or tight margin. What else are you going to use that with but Steam games?
Even the Steam Controller is useless without Steam Input, but I’d argue it won’t necessarily sell more games. Maybe they could include it with the Steam Machine for “free” to bump the price of the machine up enough to not make sense for a company, but still sell it at a tight margin to sell more games.
