    Also how’s your B350 board holding up?

    Just fine so far, but thanks a lot for jinxing it! 😠

    It’s a Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi, which is a mini-ITX board, so having the B-series chipset was probably less about making it cheap and more about the features of fancier chipsets being wasted on a board that didn’t have enough space to implement the connectors for them. Therefore, it might like slightly higher quality than some other B350 boards.













  • for things that really aren’t that big a deal (like Linux vs windows)

    LOL, Linux vs. Windows flame wars are literally as old as the World Wide Web, and UNIX vs. DOS flame wars are even older than that. Welcome to traditional Internet culture, undiluted by normies.

    (Also, I would argue that copyleft Free Software vs. proprietary software riddled with spying, ads, and other user-hostile dark patterns is a way bigger deal than you’re giving it credit for, but that’s a topic for a different thread.)






  • There’s no easy way to “mark video as watched” so that Youtube stops pushing that particular video in your feed but keeps recommending similar ones. (You can mark it “not interested” or “don’t recommend channel,” but those aren’t the same thing.) Even if you aren’t doing something Google would consider naughty like watching via FreeTube, NewPipe, or yt-dlp, there are legitimate cases like watching while logged-out or having a friend show you a video on their device that cause you to have seen a video without that watch getting recorded into your watch history.
