Someone around me recently asked about Youtubism words that maybe prevent a video from being demonetized even when we're talking about advertiser-unfriendly stuff.Amy Shira Teitel takes a look at current words trends.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iskCvr7_1ck

Watched the intro. Gonna watch the rest later.I don't agree with her use of the term "self-censorship" to for when YouTube uses financial punishment to make video producers conform. I'm lukewarm about whether YouTube's censorship is bad or okay in this case, since they're a "private company" with advertisers. But it's censorship, not self-censorship.

And, I hate YouTube for other reasons; I don't trust them and I find the overall YouTube system morally reprehensible. And I keep watching videos there too.

They should write up the current censorship rules, explicitly, so everyone understands the contract. It shouldn't be based on how the algo feels today.

@Dan_Ramos I'm waiting for Linux to appear INSIDE the Electron app packaging framework.

Rob Braxman:- Leads a project to build a Linux / privacy-zealot phone in 2025. Ships it.- Leads a project to build a Linux / privacy-zealot tablet in 2026.

He's pissed about the promises and what was delivered and how it works from the mainstream for laptops and desktop PCs in the past 2.5 years, especially "AI PCs"

@ent it's a good video. Reinforced what I decided myself some months ago: If you need a new-to-you computer (of any class) in 2026, you're better off getting a used one and waiting out the storm.

@NudelnAlDente the proper response to this nonsense is a decisive and not quiet"I cannot order from your menu that won't stay still on the TV." or"I do not use Instagram."and walk out without looking back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_DPxE4YPc8Arch Linux deletes Arch Wiki page about XLibre, citing "code of conduct".I suppose the CoC violation is that Lunduke loves XLibre, and therefore it must be cancelled.

I can't keep track of all the crazy people.When did Arch become a project that deletes a resource for CoC violations that are completely non-obvious, and delete all threads and cancelling people for the crime of asking for explanations?This behavior is a clear signal to all: don't join Arch. Don't contribute to Arch. You will be punished if you do.

@mcread thanks. Just a week ago I was drawing a complete blank on "which VPN company am I supposed to hate now because of a recent story?"The only scandal I really care about:The owner of Private Internet Access attempted a hostile takeover of the Freenode IRC network and then executed admin actions that wrecked it. The people of the network eventually created Libera.Chat and moved there. And there's nothing left of Freenode except maybe an office or something. Complete waste of resources.

@mcread Right on the server is a good place to keep backups. It's also good to keep them somewhere else at the same time.> … and subsequently destroyed both systems and backups after a failed extortion attempt. … The agency has since begun rebuilding its network, reportedly aided by an offline backup…https://www.rescana.com/post/romania-ancpi-land-registry-wiped-in-credential-based-cyberattack-incident-analysis-and-mitigation-recommendations

@mcread corollary: if you tell yourself you have positive attributes you don't yet believe, your actual objective truth trends in that direction, due to your having made the suggestions to yourself. (Affirmations)
