What can I say? I like my name so much I went and made it my Lemmy domain and my username.

Hmmm, good point. To be honest, I'm not sure if anyone knows how the algorithm works, I'm only guessing.
Maybe content creators would know for sure, but I'm not one :p
You can make "brand accounts" on YouTube that are a completely different profile from the default account. She probably won't notice if you make one and switch her to it.
You'll probably want to spend some time using it for yourself secretly to curate the kind of non-radical content she'll want to see, and also set an identical profile picture on it so she doesn't notice. I would spend at least a week "breaking it in."
But once you've done that, you can probably switch to the brand account without logging her out of her Google account.
What if you started disliking these extremist videos, and explicitly liking more tame videos with the kind of content she would enjoy? This might tell the algorithm to prefer less polarizing videos over time.
The caveat is, I've heard likes/dislikes "don't count" unless you've watched a certain percentage of the video, at least more than a few seconds. So you can't just sit there and speed through clicking dislike on everything.
Another thing you can try is clicking algorithm-suggested videos that seem less radical than the current one. For example, on the home screen, click on something innocuous that's trending. From "related videos," in any video, pick literally anything that's not what she's already watching.
You will probably have to do this for a while, but eventually she might "latch on" to whatever the algorithm starts suggesting. She almost certainly won't stop watching those radical videos entirely - people that age are set in their ways. But maybe you can get her to watch less.
All of these are really good examples of writing a good email, except the bottom left one.
The "wrong" example is perfectly fine, and the "correct" example is pretty rude unless you're a project manager addressing your team. Even if you were a project manager, it's still pretty rude.
Reminds me of the trans affirming misogynist parrot
Their cheapest $5 Linux VPS isn't any better than one from a reputable host like Vultr. This isn't really a deal, just use a trusted hoster instead.
(Replying to kbin users is broken right now, so I'll try this)
I haven't been able to find a game anything like CrossCode. Most games with a pixel art style are turn-based RPGs, and while I also love those, they aren't really comparable to CrossCode's real time action combat. I also haven't seen a recent game with writing and humor as good as CrossCode's. I might have to find some SNES/PSX era games to try out, although I've played the major ones.
The CrossCode devs are making a new game though, codenamed "Project Terra." It's a few years out, but the gameplay style is essentially a refined version of CrossCode's. You can check out gameplay footage on their dev blog:
I run my own Lemmy instance, there is an option on my administration page called "blocked instances." I've added it there.
Thank you! I'll look into reducing the log spam.
Not sure if this is related, but I tried replying to a comment from a user on kbin, and my instance wouldn't send the reply. They still have federated posts and top-level comments though, even mine. Maybe their queue is just overloaded.
We can thank all that tetraethyllead gas that was pumping lead into the air from the 20s to the 70s. Everyone got a nice healthy dose of lead while they were young. Made 'em stupid.
OP's mom breathed nearly 20 years worth of polluted lead air straight from birth, and OP's grandmother had been breathing it for 33 years up until OP's mom was born. Probably not great for early development.
