You make a good point in the second half of your comment, but I’m not sure why you had to call me an idiot first. I don’t watch short form content where AI is apparently rampant, and I haven’t ever intentionally seeked it out elsewhere. As far as people being fried by AI goes, I’ve gotta be near the lower end of the spectrum.

My take isn’t even gung-ho on the feature, and I only commented on a single screenshot.

I’m not sure I’d go as far as saying it’s a good use of AI. Also, if you’d read the article (or even just the comments) you’d know that this required 2 5090s. Your 4090 is not going to cut it.

That’s a really good point. I’m not even sure what the game is, I had assumed it was something old based on the before image, which would be a sensical use case for this imo.

Reading through the comments, this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but while I don’t love it, it does look more “realistic” to me, even though it definitely needs to look more like the source material.

It’s just my personal server for my own videos, which is nearing 1000 at this point. I’m also still in the process of uploading/transcoding everything so it’s a bit wonky still :D

As someone whose instance is already on your list, I greatly support this! Everyone should definitely use this list, and that’s an unbiased opinion.

It is kinda nuts that Epic isn’t as good as Steam still. More competition is more gooder, but Epic isn’t really competing. Of course, I’d also rather the competition not be such a terrible company. I’d love to see more from GOG, I do remember reading that GOG might be coming to Linux natively, which would be awesome.

When my partner tried it, it simply didn’t support her multiple monitors. Kubuntu just worked. Just an anecdote, of course, and I haven’t had time to try it again since.

I haven’t watched an ad on YouTube in years.

Yeah, a third place doesn’t have to cost money, but it also isn’t a requirement that it’s free.

Yeah, tbf Linus hasn’t had a great, or even ok experience with any Linux distro…

Apple, with their M silicon, has been tempting recently, but I really can’t bring myself to pull the trigger when I could have a top of the line Framework for the same price as a middle range MacBook pro. Sure, the MacBook is probably more powerful, but the framework would actually be mine.

That said, in the current ram/ssd economies I’m not buying a laptop at all if I can help it. Unfortunately, I want one so I can edit on the go, and uploading TBs of video footage to my home PC and then editing remotely isn’t going to work, so I’ll probably have to cough up some dough eventually.

We’re sort of required to have a home to sleep and such, and a workplace to make money, so third place is the term that makes sense. Somewhere you aren’t required to be, but you enjoy being.

I don’t understand that explanation. Your workplace doesn’t cost money to exist in, it’s quite the opposite. Often a third place is a pub or something, in which you’re expected to buy a drink or something.

Are you and I watching the same YouTube? People are making really cool stuff, as they always have and always will, and that stuff happens to be in YouTube right now.

Sure doesn’t seem like it, from my personal experience, as well as Linus of Linus Tech Tips’ experiences. Doesn’t mean we can’t root for the company when they throw their weight behind a good cause.

It really is hard to fathom, but I think it has a high likely hood of happening some day. I also think it’s why YouTube hasn’t been enshittified more than it has been, they know that it’s a possibility.

That’s incredibly fair

I agree in general, but when it comes to YouTube and the creator economy I do partially disagree.

You aren’t locked into anything, you can just go somewhere else. It isn’t like Netflix and the other million subscription services where they hold all of the power, that’s the beauty of independant online video creation; the creators have the power. If YT becomes enshittified enough, creators will leave to somewhere else. As it is, I currently watch some videos on PeerTube, some on YouTube, some on Nebula, and some on other platforms. People do struggle with using multiple websites across the internet, preferring to stick to a core few websites, but for their favorite creators I believe they’d branch out.

They can be helpful when you enjoy playing a game but run out of stuff to do. I hunt for them in Mini Motorways, Forza Horizon, and a few other games. Most games I ignore them completely though.
