   Yeah, it obviously is. But something that irks me about the comment is that it conflates a well-supported conspiracy theory (Epstein, who was actually charged and convicted) and a crazy illuminati-level one (Big Tech eliminating cash to can

    I wouldn't be surprised if a large proportion of people were not aware that Earth's axial tilt is responsible for the seasons.

    Whoa, this is extremely impressive. Quotes from the BBC article: > "For the first time, we actually have a system which is able to build its own understanding of how the world works, and use that understanding to do this kind of sop

    It's possible that YouTube's current recommendation algorithm actually is close to optimal for maximizing watch time / ad revenue, even if it isn't optimal for finding videos related to ones you've watched already.

    Then the question is whether it's better to allow people with unsavory views a minority platform on mainstream sites where they'll try to convert others, or force them to their own niche echo chambers that will inevitably be extre

    Yeah, it also annoys me when people assume that all of 4chan and 8chan is /pol/. 4chan has plenty of blue boards like /sci/, /g/, and /tg/ that are relatively decent if you can tolerate shitposting, t

    I used to lurk 4chan regularly (granted, not /pol/), and the amount of viciousness and toxicity on voat.co still seems high in comparison IMO. The way 4chan uses suffixes like "f*g" (which is mostly jocular/memey,

    Voat was founded as a neutral free-speech platform. After alt-right extremists were booted off reddit, they found a new home there. The site was bombarded by /pol/ chan culture, and after that nobody else of other political persua

    YouTube's customer support is notoriously terrible, even for large channels. Good luck. I'd recommend keeping a local copy of everything you upload just in case it gets deleted for some random reason.

    Any HTTP request you can make with a browser can in principle be made with curl. The issue is that seeing content now requires you to jump through lots of hoops, whereas it was previously openly accessible by default.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. I'm confused why everyone is complaining about the "Rocky" part, which is a nice tribute and sounds pretty decent, when the actual problem is the "Linux" part. It should
