Fediverse is worse than Reddit. Mod abuse, admin abuse, disinformation, and people simping for literal terrorists.
Maybe a Skyrim-esque UI would be welcome.
Oh hell no. Skyrim’s UI without mods was absolute garbage and worse than Oblivion’s vanilla UI.
Personally I’d rather have a Daggerfall remake but I guess that’s what The Wayward Realms is going for already.
Negative reputation troll.
It’s not telling me a secret, it’s telling me that I’m doing something wrong and that I need to use CRT shaders, which are both wrong presumptions made to make me click on the video to find out why. Whether to use a CRT filter or other things like scanlines is completely subjective and up to a users preferences. There’s nothing wrong with sharp pixels over blurry pixels.
No and no. Clickbait bullshit.
A state actor could definitely do those things. The question is why though. There’s not really anything to gain from that, they’d just lose money on it.
Mbin also shows thumbnails on all of them. https://fedia.io/m/videos@lemmy.world
Cloud based gaming servers are simply flexible game servers that have multiple international locations with dynamic load distributions instead of old fixed location game servers. There’s literally nothing wrong with that over the old and less flexible method because this gives you servers that are closer to your personal location, which means less ping, and them being able to scale means it is less likely of them just crapping themselves under heavier load, because they can scale up dynamically when needed.
They already look ugly as fuck.
What? How do you think multiplayer games work. lol
You think your personalized feed is not manipulated like this either? Or imagine someone new to the platform, he’s gonna immediately get bombarded by propaganda and disinformation, clicks on the videos, and then the personalized feed will feed them more of the same, radicalizing them even further.
And no, I’m not and I don’t. You’re clearly not getting the topic and why it is a problem.
By bad actors. Do you not remember The_Donald being practically at the top of everything on Reddit? Do you not understand why far right videos on YT & TicTok have so much traction? Everyone gets fed their own reality that completely contradicts with what is happening in the world, which is causing massive divisions among our societies.
I guess we’ll never know.
If it suggest me things based on various factors that can be manipulated, then it is inherently bad.
And user control would be to give me filter options. Videos are already categorized & tagged, so why not let users specify which categories & tags they want to see - and which one they do not? Much better than some obtuse and brain dead algorithm flip flopping while trying to figure out what I want to watch.
I’m asking myself this question for many years. Especially since YT videos are categorized to a degree. Give users control over keywords, both to like more of them, and to filter certain ones out. Obviously not perfect either because not everything is going to be properly categorized & tagged, but it would be so much better than the current mess where some brain dead algorithm tries to figure out what I like.
Well, you said that, not me. But thanks for the outing.
That’s just your history of what you watched, liked, disliked, etc. The problem is that the system behind it is inherently stupid. You liked Vintage Story? Here’s some Minecraft! And since they’re games, you likely also like OTHER GAMES! Right? So here’s some Roblox and Fortnite! Our trends say those are super popular with the cool guys and you surely are a cool guy too, right?! And with that comes all the clickbait bullshit too, so I say I’m not interested in those channels and block them, so YT now thinks I dislike gaming and scrubs everything again, until I manually search & watch another video of a game because obviously it also scrubbed the ones I’m interested in. Or you watched some music videos, REPEATEDLY? Here’s all the videos you previous have watched! Now you have to click, not interested, click for why, click you have watched it already, click okay. Repeat for every video you ever watched until YT gets the hint, for at least a day or two until it repeats the stupidity again.
You literally have to fight the system constantly. It’s why I don’t watch YT much anymore, or use private tabs now, which bring their own issue now that they also frequently block VPN IPs and ask you to log in, but that would then again muddle my watch history and consequently spam my feed with all sorts of irrelevant shit that I don’t want.
The only thing that got better over the years is the video quality, like from an encoding standpoint, the content quality went way down.
Uh-oh…
