Does anyone else hate modern YouTube? I miss the times when the YouTube homepage wasn't a fucking feed but just the latest videos from your subscriptions. While the "Browse" button ('member that?) at the top would take you to the page with all the viral videos from across the world.But now, being on YouTube feels like you're hooked onto some kind of drug, because the algorithm tracks your viewing habits and patterns and fills your feed with videos that will keep you endlessly watching one video after another, and by the end of the day you feel like your brain literally rotted a bit from mindlessly consooming bullshit content you didn't need or ask for.Not to mention, they way YouTube videos themselves are produced these days seems like they're specifically designed to induce anxiety and break your mind from over-stimulation.
>>107913537It's full of AI low quality shit now. It keeps recommending me "4chan greentext stories" even though I don't click on them and it's not even 4chan posts, it's AI written garbage and im pretty sure most of the comments on them are AI also, and the rest are redditors believing it's a real 4chan post
>>107927391None since the economics dont make senseamazon, meta have their video platforms and arent interested in a youtube clone since itd cost a lot and not make money as long as youtube exists as the better option
>>107918149Yeah, I've noticed this too. Embedded Youtube videos run very smoothly. I never use the actual website anymore, unless i want to comment on a video. I use freetube instead.

>The reboot of the early internet online community Digg, a one-time rival to Reddit, is moving forward. The company, which is today back under the ownership of its original founder, Kevin Rose, along with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, is launching its open beta to the public on Wednesday.https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/14/digg-launches-its-new-reddit-rival-to-the-public/Oh no! Free speech! How dare they!
>>107917966>This seems like an attempt to take nearly 20 years of shitty posts by reddit users and transform them into some kind of knowledge database that piggybacks off google's search.The actually useful ones are probably deleted with nonsense like "the bacon narwhales at noon! (this post was deleted by delete.us)" because of the whole moderation fiasco last year or in 2024 so you aren't even getting USEFUL answers anymore.>>107920558>memes and culture than Digg.Memes were stolen from here, Newfag.Culture? Who gives a fuck about culture? The only thing a site should be is USEFUL. Digg stopped being useful. Reddit started to be useful becuase it didn't make itself awful to USE. That's it.

What kind of web services or sites can I make and run to get some vaguely passive income? I can't work a normal job but I have programming and computer system skills, surely I should be able to do something? The issue is I have no idea what normal people will pay for. Social skills are low so you guys are the only people I can really ask.
>>107926341Why not, would be interesting and useful, careful in how you phrase the OP it might get banned if it's not technology-related enough.>>107926435>>107926474I meant doing projects related to cryptocurrency not investing/trading.I've did my share of trading in the past though, specifically I used to sell OTM PUT options for passive income mainly of BTC/ETH on Deribit and USA indices ETFs on Interactive Brokers. Since 2025 the markets have become unpredictable though, volatility makes trading harder.
>>107926559>volatility makes trading harder.aaaahbut heres where youre wrong, anona volatile market means you can make money on smaller timeframeswhich means information thats not contained within the curve just doesnt have time to affect it in a way thats meaningful to youyou cant apply tradfin methods to crypto. which are gonna tell you to stay the fuck away anyways, exactly because of the volatility
>>107926640>>volatility makes trading harder.>aaaahIt makes the specific type of trading I described harder, basically I sell a OTM PUT option at a strike which is at the sweetspot between risk and profit and I bet it will not go ITM before expiry, if my bet is correct I gain the price since the option will go to zero, it's a great strategy if the price doesn't move much or if it stays on a trend, but not good if there is volatility.>a volatile market means you can make money on smaller timeframesSure but how do you predict future prices in a consistent way? We are talking about passive income right?Sorry to OP maybe this is offtopic?
>>107926710>Sure but how do you predict future prices in a consistent way? We are talking about passive income right?yeah, were trading in completely different ways. my shit is way less refined, complexalso i tend to stay away from futures bc these can get you in the actual red. when trading the actual product worst case scenario you get down to 0, but never belowyou can passiv-ize the type of trading i do by setting up automation that buys and sells for you, or you set up an alert system thats gonna tell you when action is happening, if youre unsure about the legislation, or you want to manually pull the trigger each timethats what i do myself. when i do it. didnt trade for the past 3 years or so, actually since 4 years now (market went bearish, all the signals i found until then became invalid. i did the computation semi manually, on a cpu on top of that, so i cut the losses and postponed further operations until i automate the process. personal issues prevented me from programming, and the fact that the bank account was well provisioned didnt help either)if thats off topic to op im sorry toobut op sounds like he could be into numbersand then trading might be a solution for him. no social skills needed therejust figuring out how to predict a curve

Remember when Europe announced that they're going to de-google their systems? How did that turn out?
Couldnt do it because the new replacement europeans (shitskins) insist on using googleslop.
>>107926455Great, and where did those go?Making an alternative means nothing if the alternative is useless/not nearly as good or populated as the main choice.Europeans know this intuitively, because when they aren't posessed by their brat-like pride for their inferior continent they almost ALWAYS use the American or American related options
I wouldn't underestimate the new Sino-European axis...
>>107926455Those are just Google/Bing proxies with shittier CSS
>>107926034google has a monopoly on search engines, so the idea of de-google is not realistic at allthe best one can do is just leech the good from them while not using the bad from them

The modern internet is designed to be convenient. Algorithms on platforms like X tirelessly curate "For You" feeds, aiming to show us exactly what we want to see. But this convenience comes at a price: we are trapped in a feedback loop of the familiar, governed by engagement metrics rather than genuine discovery.To find something truly unique, you have to break the machine. I’ve started using a different method: bypassing the algorithmic gatekeepers entirely by manual searching via xcancel/Nitter.X is essentially a massive, chaotic landfill of data, a mountain of digital trash. The platform's algorithm is designed to surface what is popular or provocative, but it is fundamentally incapable of recognizing a "hidden gem." It prioritizes the loud over the profound.When you use xcancel to search for specific, niche (random?) keywords without being logged into a personalized profile, the experience is jarring. The vast majority of what you see is irrelevant noise. However, this is where the magic happens. By manually sifting through the debris, you encounter "pearls", eccentric thoughts, obscure primary sources, or niche conversations- that an algorithm would have filtered out for being too "irrelevant" to your profile.This is the fundamental difference between randomized discovery and algorithmic personalization. One gives you a mirror of your own interests; the other gives you a shovel and a map to the unknown. It is tedious, manual work, but in a world of polished, predictable feeds, it is the only way to find the treasures buried deep within the data pile.

how insecure it would be to use pic rel for day to day usage? think reading emails, editing with vim, using ssh, maybe checking out some git repos, nothing crazy.

So this is the peak of Chromium browsers, huh? I almost liked Edge but it has no 133% zoom.
>>107927421The UI is horrendous and the adblocker is a joke.
>>107926862So you're trying to tell me that the company that literally worked with (((zuckerberg))) to steal private information from 90 million people is accusing an open source web browser of massive surveillance? Shocking.
>>107927571Brave isn't open source. Only the parts they took from chromium are open source. Whatever Brave is doing with their user info and ads is delightfully closed source, sweaty.

>>107903516You severely underestimate how subsidized LLM queries are. Companies are struggling to boost actual production margins (not the mass delusion that is stock valuation) with the tech as it is. Even the most bullish AI folks can't reconcile the fact that the cost of these requests is 10x their current price in an almost ideal scenario (basically have to ignore the cost of continuous training as news events occur and history stubbornly refuses to end), and they do not even approach a level of efficiency gain that would justify the AI company pricing to merely break even on operational cost.Those continual billions in losses are not in datacenter construction expenditure, they are OPERATIONAL LOSSES.This is what a bubble looks like. Even the big industry players are openly talking about it being a bubble. These people will remain irrational for as long as they can, but thermodynamic realities come for us all in the end.Well, that or market shocks from a senile orange toddler playing with tariff knobs. Or Greenland, apparently? Why the fuck...? Anyway, completely wiped out non-AI bubble economic growth in the US last year, BTW, and poised to do exactly the same fucking thing again. Economy is about as vulnerable as it could be to the bubble popping.And millions of people (and potentially a few datacenters) are probably about to lose power from a catastrophic winter storm costing likely billions to recover from.This year looks fun.>>107903524Bait used to be believable.

>>107901056They fucked themselves by going fabless and putting all their eggs in the TSMC basket. Now they have to compete for fab time with other major players like Apple and Nvidia and both can easily outspend AMD on a whim. Even if they wanted to, they’ll never be able to produce enough GPUs to pick up Nvidia’s slack, hence Radeon 9000 being a massive dud still.
which are you hopping to next?
>>107924886Fedora looks nice, might try it out in virtual machine at one point. But I'm gonna stick with Linux Mint for now as it just werks for me.
>>107925154last year i used fedora for some months, then i got stuck with it because i had no internet for some time. i went there to see how is it like to get updoots, then i realised i dont need almost all of them and went back the moment i got internet running again. they are both good and reliable but deb is comfier, got lts, more packages and it doesnt try to babysit me. it feels calm and slower over here, which i appreciate more.>>107925160fedora+kde is pretty good, they are probably shipping the best kde experience right now, not sure about gnome but must be really good too, since it was main for all these years.
