Eh, this seems a little half-assed, IMO. There’s no adjustment for error magnitude in relation to the rest of the video content. If they fuck up a basic stat on an informational video, it can easily have a more significant effect of viewers than a major error on a niche topic in a long, multi-topic video.

This works into the whole prioritization portion of the post. Many of the things they classify as “low severity” and only warranting a pinned comment could lead to completely different behavior. Example:

1. Very Low Severity

• The statement could possibly be misunderstood, but it’s generally true and most people would be fine with how it’s currently presented.
• eg. The host says, “One of DisplayPort’s main advantages over HDMI is its higher bandwidth,” but this is only true when comparing certain generations of the standards. HDMI 2.1, for example, has much higher bandwidth than DP 1.1.

If the whole video is on the differences between HDMI and DP, this statement is completely opposite of the truth on a basic, primary statistic. The connector’s ONLY purpose is to transfer data, which is rate and bandwidth. The erroneous statement is an absolute - something IS something. All LTT needs to do is add, “some versions” or “generally”. THEN it becomes a softer interpretation error.

• DP’s bandwidth is GENERALLY higher than HDMI’s? Let me look up when this statement doesn’t hold true…
• DP bandwidth IS HIGHER than HDMI? Guess I don’t need to look up that info because they’re presenting it as a universal truth.

Purchasing decision time… That GPU has 3x HDMI and 1x DP ports? Well, I’m not sure about these other stats, but I know that HDMI sucks compared to DP, so I can eliminate all the GPUs with more HDMI ports than DP ports. I guess I’m getting this 5 year old GPU with 1xHDMI and 3x DP ports instead.

If that mistake was in a 30 minute news video covering 8 stories and the statement was an aside, okay, maybe a pinned comment.

In reality, all these errors should be easy to correct, but that’s hampered by YouTube’s tools. LTT should be able to replace a small segment of video with a cut away to stock or b-roll and a voiceover with the correct information. But, you can’t do that on YT.

Another alternative, if the information is insignificant enough for only a pinned comment, is to simply mute that 2-3 seconds of video. If the misstatement was significant enough that muting it makes the rest of the video tough to follow, then the mistake wasn’t small enough for a pin.

It’s like a watermelon on a toothpick. I bet he was going home to cry on his oversized pillow.

Ugh, you just had to say “anti-vax” for most people to know he’s a certified stooge or a turbo-dumbfuck.

I think it’s hard to go wrong with Murakami. I don’t remember much TEV specifically, but I remember enjoying it.

Thanks.That’s kinda what I thought, but assumed I was missing something with the amount of attention the transfer of this one weapon platform has received. I guess it’s also symbolic of the level of commitment by NATO, since it’s not just a few planes, but also ammo plus training plus support framework.

I’m glad we’re not just throwing ammo at the situation and wishing Ukraine the best of luck, though I do wish we were doing more.

One thing I’ve missed in the discussion of sending F-16s is the role they’ll play.

From what I’ve seen, Russia still has significant air defense capabilities, and they launch air fired weapons from deep in their own territory. So, if the F-16s can’t get too far upfield, due to defenses, and there isn’t much they can do in air-to-air combat, what advantage do they have over longer range artillery?

I see nothing fnord unusual about it.

Oh, here we are - another day and ANOTHER Reddit vs Fediverse meme! I’m soooo sick of all these extremely accurate memes being posted by so many beautiful and intelligent people on here. I bet you even smell good! The nerve of some people…

I… I’m speechless.

Although, as a professional internet nitpicker, I have top s say I’m surprised he didn’t go into color theory more. Easy 45 minutes of additional content there. (I guess he touched on it, but there’s so much more.)

Now I remember why I looked at lasagna cat a few years ago and, after a minute or two, decided to set it aside. There’s a whole lifetime’s worth of content to drown in.

Counterpoint - yes.

I use this one. There are probably better ones, but now I have holders and cases for them, so there’s no going back now.

I do the same thing with low poly brains (and a swatch card). I’m tempted to order one roll of each filament I used before starting this, but that would be hard to justify. My collection shall be forever incomplete.

Generally, if someone’s being a total asshole so severely that they have to be yeeted with several thousand other unaware bystanders, I expect to see a bunch of examples within the first… 2, maybe 3, links.

If someone can point me to a concise list of examples (actual data), I find it more disturbing that an admin on another server can yeet my account because they make noise on a discord server.I mean, yes, federating is a feature, but why even offer the ability to enroll users? Maybe for a group of friends, or something, but just rando users is nothing but a liability to everyone involved.

Oh, I understand the tactics being used. I was implying that person c was obviously stalking person a and pounced the moment they did something less than perfect.

My guess is there isn’t anything of substance, so person c’s sensitivity got amplified with time and obsessing over whatever is going on, leading them to overreact. But, not c has to double down if they want any chance of being taken seriously if a significant cause to defederate occurs.

I got around 5 links deep for each of the links in the admin’s post, and fuck if I know. There was an argumentative user, but they were articulate and thoughtful. Not dropping slurs or wasting space nonsense, but still bordering on “edgy”. The person pushing the defederation appeared to be bullying them and on a power trip.

It was embarrassing. That’s all I took away. (My opinion can change if someone digs through the shitpiles of nothingness to pull up some actual naughty posts, but that’s not going to be me.)

I almost thought I had written your comment and completely forgot about it. No, I just almost made the exact comment and want that hour of my life back.

If there was some over the top racist rant, I sure didn’t see it. And the admin pushing for the defederation sounds so bizarre. Bizarre is the best word I could come up with because “petty” makes me think it was like high school politics. This is closer to a grade school sandbox argument.

The worst I saw was “defedfags” and it was used in a way that was meant to highlight how they never said anything offensive. Like saying, “If you thought what I said before was offensive, let’s see how you respond to something intended to be negative.”

The crazy thing is that the decision is being made because the admin just liked a post. It’s not even because of the post content - which has nothing controversial and appeared maybe 8 times in my Lemmy/kbin feed yesterday.

Editing to add that this is the article: https://kbin.social/search?q=wakeup+call

I’m not sure if it helps, but I wonder if this is linked to the inactivity error.

Load up any kbin thread or main page, open a new browser tab in the foreground, me around in the non-kbin tab for 15-30 minutes, and return to the kbin tab. Now any clicks on ‘actions’ (voting, posting, basically sending info to the server) sends you to an error page. Whatever info you were sending doesn’t register (vote count or highlight, posts don’t show up, etc.

I didn’t have any logout problems at all until maybe a week ago. Since then I’ve been logged out 5+ times.

Not a big problem for me, but I could see it annoying others.

Agreed. I’m in my 40s, and I’ve never seen anywhere near the level of subsurface signaling and intentional complacency we’re experiencing now.

Well, terrorists became boring, and they still want the loony wing of the GOP’s clicks, so best to back off on Nazis and pro-Russians, leaving pedophiles as the safest bet.

At first glance, I probably thought JXL was another attempt at JPEG2000 by a few bitter devs, so I had ignored it.

Yeah, my examples/description was more intended to be conceptual for folks that may not have dealt with the nitty gritty. Just mental exercises. I’ve only done a small bit of image analysis, so I have a general understanding of what’s possible, but I’m sure there are folks here (like you) that can waaay outclass me on details.

These intermediate-to-deep dives are very interesting. Not usually my cup of tea, but this does seem big. Thanks for the info.
