I see, I wasn’t comparing an article to a video, I was comparing a video to a text summary of the same video.

Those are great drives but I would not want one of those in the room where I sleep haha
This is not the emulation community per-se, but what happened to Near was absolutely heartbreaking.
Open source devs are often difficult, single-minded, and poorly socialized, people, but the entitlement from users is enough to make anyone go insane.
We seem to agree that actually eating real food at a greasy spoon is preferable to reading a description of the dining experience offered at the Ritz. But your replies give me the impression we disagree?
Exactly! Why go to the first restaurant (video) at all if you don’t like the experience? You’re really going to wait outside the door of the first one asking the people leaving what the food tastes like? How is that better than the restaurant (videos) you do like?
It’s a creative work, you are talking about Veritasium as if it he’s reading out a written a security bulletin on camera.
A menu is not a creative work it’s a means to convey information. Veritasium is not reading wikipedia articles on screen, he’s creating an original work.
Listen I am not criticizing how you choose to enjoy your time I just find the entire concept of finding the experience of reading a text summary to be more to be more rewarding than experiencing the thing itself to be alien.
What feels alien to me is the idea that experiencing a creative work is itself a means to an end.
I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.
when I read comments like these it makes me realize that maybe all the money flowing to OpenAI isn’t folly and there really are people out there trying to tl;dr their own lives
It’s centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.
Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.
I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.
If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.
In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.
The answer is less centralization, but that can’t be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.
Exactly, it also means we can have different regions for different types of conversations, much like in the real world.
Why would someone who doesn’t like blocking and de-federation like “federated platforms”?
“You censored me for my opinion”
“What opinion was it?”
“…”
“What opinion was it Anakin?”
Oh yes for sure, but at the same time if there is an instance that allows it’s users to “be as crazy as you want” that instance will likely be de-federated from a lot.
It is because unlike on reddit if you dont like the admins you can go start your own lemmy
TrueNAS is fine but the dead-simplest I’ve ever seen is CasaOS which has one-click network file sharing.
Absolutely and I will be the first to offer praise. Honestly, I think the fact that FOSS devs trend weird and neurotic is not because of anything special with Open Source but because the non-neurotic ones are pulling down 300K salaries at Google. If big tech wasn’t absorbing all of their employees mental capacity many of them would be doing FOSS for fun.
