I definitely appreciate the raw efficiency of text, and prefer it most of the time. Video has its place too, though. Sometimes it's nice to just relax with something that has moving pictures to hold your attention.

While the Andrewism video doesn't fit into this category, I've been getting more into watching videos for technical topics lately. I was trying to learn about how perceptual image hashing works the other day, and needed to understand the discrete cosine transform. The wikipedia article wasn't going to cut it, but I managed to find this video on JPEG compression (which uses DCT), and it ended up being very helpful.

Sorry. From now on I'll stick to only posting Tick Talk videos.

The quality of their arguments doesn't really matter though, nor does it matter whether they're able to convince a majority of people. What matters is that they can reach the few people that will find their overall presentation intriguing enough to merit further investigation, and then pull those people down the rabbit hole. It's the same strategy that fascists use, just red-flavored instead of brown.

It also makes the space overall less appealing to your actual target audience, which is a cardinal sin of online community management.

Just like with fascists though, it's better not to let them propagandize, even if you aren't personally triggered by it.

You know, there'd be a whole lot less gish-galloping propaganda in the comments here if you were to defederate hexbear. Just sayin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unlike tankies, who are definitely not weird and larpy about their ideological forebears. /s

Alright, fair.

Typical tankie response.

Do you mean something like discord-style emotes?

Did you ever get this working? I set up 23.05 recently on one of my machines, and my Dualsense controllers worked fine though the KDE bluetooth app once I enabled bluetooth in configuration.nix.

I've been trying to post this for a month, and kept getting the "we are working on resolving issues" error. I thought that there was some bug making me unable to post here anymore. Just noticed that the PNG version that I was trying to upload was 7.8mb, so I guess kbin must have been choking on that.

You can use the boost feature. Your boosts are public, but that's usually a good thing. Things you want to save are often things you want to promote, and vice versa.
