I can only understand the concern if it related to how many the chat room and users are mostly created in offical Matrix instance instead more be self-hosted and even that is a reach
Do you use youtube mainly?
I mean, we are talking about the most biggest video sharing platform. So yes, I still use it despite how much I hate YouTube and that's just because the sort of videos I watch is on YouTube and not on places like PeerTube. Personally, I wish more YouTubers, Content Creators (or whatever word as I know people have the pet peeve with the word "Content Creators") would try other alternative video site like PeerTube, even if it as a mirror.
Do you care about clickbait?
This may be controversial but I think especially as YouTube is driven by the algorithm, you had to do bit of clickbait to make your videos pop from the rest. That being said, I don't like it when it is both ragebait and it feels insulting to my intelligences. It is an instant no for me and I block the channel with BlockTube as even pressing "Don't recommend this channel", YouTube still recommends them.
Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube's problems?
It's one of the issue but I think Google's trying to make YouTube as advertiser friendly as possible is the biggest issue. A lot of the issue stem from Google doing that and YouTubers are still trying to adapt and walking on eggshells to still create video while getting monetise. It has got so bad, we are censoring "died", "kill themself" to "unaliving" or otherwise, they would get demonetise which from what I heard, their video won't be push out. Those sort of video are talking about some serious subject matters and I know they have good intent but it makes it goofy rather than something serious. I could rant about it but it be off-topic about YouTube clickbait.
But yes, clickbait is the problem and some would make ragebait videos as they know how thin-skinned people are online. I'm thin-skinned as well and I try my very best to avoid them as I know some are just both hateful and low-effort so they are not worth my time.
Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones?
My understanding is that clickbait is making some sort of topic or subject matter more clickable. A lot of YouTubers and even journalist online are doing this whether it quote whatever someone said as their headline or whatever. Lot of people associate clickbait as whatever the hell is happening in Mr Beast's Thumbnails.
I hadn't brought anything from Craigslist but I have heard online of some people still use it if that helps but I can't imagine it being as popular with Facebook Marketplace existing.
It really depends on which item I am searching for. I don't have one that's 1:1 replacement to Amazon, just at least few websites I go on for whatever I'm looking for.
.flac music from Qobuz but I find them to be overpriced for me but if it support an artist, get the money I guess. Seem as I'm a broke-ass, MusicMagpie would do as I love collecting CDs and holding it sometimes just to look at the album cover.though I occasionally play Fortnite with my son
Just an FYI, Fortnite isn't supported on Linux so if you still want to dabble with Linux, maybe give a try dual-booting.
Yes but I do recommend installing the two OSes on a different storage device. That's what I did for my PC.
That's still changing the Volume from the OS which I find changing the volume to not be as smooth compare to using a Desktop DAC and using knob on my keyboard, volume controls feels like a stair-step where it either bit too high or low and it's difficult to get it just right. That's why I like Desktop DAC and use it even over the volume knob on my keyboard.
I mostly play emulation as it just good enough. I would only play on native if I really love the game or saw a game at a game shop that's cheap and want to give it a try. Otherwise, I find if I play games on emulation, is often that I know or heard of a game that suppose to be good but want to try it for first time.
If it has PC Port and isn't too bad (unless there's mod to fix it), I would rather play that, especially if it's a shooter games as I'm not too fond aiming on stick without gyro controls. Even if it natively doesn't support it, I would try create controller layout via Steam Input which is super hacky
Some games age like wine, others age like milk, and even more were just... rotten to begin with, haha. People often have a hard time differentiating between nostalgia and objectively good (and bad) game experiences.
This! Reminds me when I was playing OG Tomb Raider and the second game and while I love them, I be lying if I say that it doesn't feel dated. The combat is my major pet-preeve of the game where I would rather cheese the combat selection as the guns doesn't feel much special, the AI doesn't feel either fair and it didn't felt it took in mind of both Player's tank control and also the automatic camera which is horrible. As soon as you fighting the Mummy in TR1, expect your camera jumping all over the place.
And people who want to make this a collection thing can fuck all the way off - I saw a Chrono Trigger cartridge priced at $350 in a local store, which itself was a kinda common game.
Reminds me when I was at CeX, seeing Slient Hill around £100 which upset me as I want to both try to it and also, I just love just owning a game and looking at it. Speaking of that, I need to boot up Duckstation and play Slient Hill as I played Resident Evil REmake on the Gamecube and I do want to try play more survival horror game
Mine is interest in retro gaming which oh boy, there's a lot:
Bonus points if that person happens to be Gen-Z and comments selection bitching about Gen-Z. I hate the weird elitism retro-gaming community have which as a Zoomer, it does put me off wanting to play older games if I be judge for being too stupid to not get it straight away.
Depending on the context, I can see that being true but otherwise, I usually find them just fence-sittting and them saying bunch of words which feels like a whole lot off nothing.
