Was YouTube ever profitable?
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a programmer but I work with IT and I regularly need complex shell scripts. ChatGPT has enabled me to skip the largest portion of slamming my head against the wall by writing the script for me and then I can tune it if it gets something wrong. Saves me hours and hours of my life.
and porn

I’m going to whip out my 12 hour Oblivion retrospective that I watched in one sitting as evidence to the contrary to support his point: This video is padding, it’s very slow and it doesn’t really get to that many points.
It is OK to criticize media. This video seems to be long-form for the sake of being long-form, not because it has a lot of ground to cover. I don’t particularly care, it mostly ran in the background, but it’s a legitimate criticism.
I’ve also personally noticed that I tend to click off 10-minute videos in 2 minutes if they don’t get to a point or say something interesting, because the trend is that it’s pushing for time to keep you engaged to show you more ads and it’s a huge waste of my time. Whatever that video eventually gets around to saying could’ve been a twitter post.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 devs apologise for "rushed" DLC, offer refunds, promise conciliatory fan summit 3 weeks ago:
To quote them directly
… it will not be possible to offer refunds for Ultimate Edition buyers.
we will compensate Ultimate Edition holders by adding 3 Creator Packs and 3 Radio Stations which, together, sum up to a value of USD 39.99.
translated: We are sorry you did not like our fart gas that we pretended was gold. Unfortunately we cannot refund you because we just can’t ok stop asking questions. Here are 3 polished turds and some mp3 files that we have valued to be worth 40 dollars as a reward for your loyalty!

The torx we got in the toolset I use are probably just kinda shitty, honestly
- Comment on Whoops 4 weeks ago:
I’m actually conflicted; I have a lot more trouble with torx at work than I do alan, but phillips are universally a problem. The torx keys don’t stick in the hole and can’t be tilted at odd angles where as alan keys with a ball head can, and do stick in the hole to some degree which lets me free-spin it. I’ve ruined a lot more torx from over-torgue than I have alan keys. I would take torx over alan keys if it meant I never had to see a phillips again, though

total torx supremacy

That’s the source code for the Discord bridge, I’m talking about Beeper

I’ve already Discord had accounts snupped out from under me not giving them my phone number, I don’t wanna give them a real reason to ban me 😅

I can’t recommend Navidrome to people who aren’t necessarily big on self-hosting, it’s simply far too big of a project. Gonic is very narrow in scope and it’s a drop-in binary; just works.

- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 2 months ago:
“Playable”
for the record I paid for this and am watching with hopeful eyes, but please stop pretending that being able to launch the game and walk around is playing
- Comment on Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services 2 months ago:
All they achieved was make me not ever engage with their website in any capacity. I’m not making an account, I’m not logging in. If I can’t see the content without logging in, or with a proxy, I’ll just never see it. It’s not sweat off my back if I can’t see some random porn someone linked in a group chat.
