Eye contact is benign for most of us. We still give it a context warning in civilized circles. It costs us almost nothing, and lets people make an informed decision what you engage with.

Lots of organizations have a “ooh scary Linux” server or two that they rely on, but failed to retain the talent needed to maintain it. If you’ve been running desktop Linux, and know some basic command line tools, you’re way ahead of most people they will interview for the role.
The downside is that they might feel that they can maybe just keep ignoring their problem for another year, and some will.


That guy is clearly an expert.


I asume the prompt was: Tell me your board of directors are all too young to remember the DotCom bust without telling me so directly.


There is PeerTube. But to your point, full time creators need money, and monetization isn’t solved on PeerTube,


There’s also DropOut.tv, which has many comedians from the former College Humor comedy group.
DropOut.tv doesn’t really do educational content, but their funny stuff is unrivaled and very varied. Their game show, Game Changer is the best thing happening to streaming, right now.
There’s even a (fan) DropOut bot here on Lemmy that creates dedicated threads for the dozen or so of us DropOut fans to discuss episodes when they drop.
And both DropOut and Nebula now have deep back catalogs. I few years ago I felt like I could run out of things to watch. Now I only ever rewatch favorite episodes. Most Game Changer episodes are good enough to watch twice, and then watch the “making of” video afterwards.
It’s still not YouTube where it’s physically impossible to watch everything, but for my watching habits, there’s enough created that it feels like there’s always going to be stuff I haven’t gotten to. DropOut has a new high quality episode of a flagship show most week days.
Nebula is more like YouTube, where between all the different creators, there’s usually more new content available in a given day than I could consume, if I wanted to.


Curiousity Stream is also an alternative to YouTube. The video quality feels lower across the board than Nebula or DropOut, but it also has some fun stuff, and any competition to YouTube is probably a good thing.


Nebula is a fantastic alternative to YouTube.
It seems like they pay their creators much better, which is enough reason alone, for some of us.
Nearly every video on Nebula has a nice little extra for Nebula viewers. Most are just a quick thank-you, but some are much more substantial.
Legal Eagle sometimes fully drops lawyer mode in post-video bits for Nebula subscribers. This amuses me because I wasn’t sure he could before I joined Nebula. Haha.
Extra History and Extra Credits often have full extra videos on vaguely related topics, I think.
And Nebula is amazingly good for travel videos. Anyone who loves trains should at least try Nebula.
DropOut is my goto for humor, but Abolish Everything on Nebula also regularly provides a solid laugh. Also, DropOut and Nebula folks cameo across companies a bit. No non-compete contracts there, I suspect.
Obviously, Nebula has much smaller set of content creators, than YouTube.
I appreciate that too though. Average video quality is way higher.


- Agentic AI: A list of traditional IF THEN statements that do things based on the output of the magical LLM and then create a new prompt that they feed back into the LLM in a never ending loop, with the aim of consuming as many tokens as possible.
It’s so much worse than that. We use the pleasant answer predictor to predict what function calls and arguments passed to those functions might be the most pleasing.
It can provide all of the capabilities of piping curl into sudo with none of the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing I’ve turned over control of my computer’s fate to a stranger on the Internet.
Instead, I’ve turned my computer’s fate over to a statistical approximation of the slurry from mixing together the outputs of every stranger from the Internet.


Exactly. And they need to make back the biggest up-front loss in the history of investment, and probably - even adjusted for inflation - in the history of currency.
And all that on a product that people don’t want.


I had to read that twice, but yes, exactly.


Let’s not give the idiots more ideas. haha.


Yes. And perhaps, given time, accessing the wrong version of certain sensitive historic events could even be tracked that way.


You’re in luck! We don’t keep any of our guns in California.


Surf Ninjas!


politicians like political donations.


Really meta can’t figure out are we humans or not with this massive of data they collect?
That part really pisses me off. Asking for any kind of identity verification is just them gas lighting their users.


Yes. We noticed.


Human readable test code.
Bad LLM code is worse than bad human code. LLMs sanitize out markers that humans use to catch and correct mistakes.
