grue , to technology in Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

Ironically, watching this video on Osysee results in me consuming more ads that help LTT than usual, because I don’t have SponsorBlock set up for that.

x00za ,

Why did you not set it up? I think they added it recently and when I found out I instantly enabled it. It also works for Invidious.

grue ,

Because I’ve literally never watched an Odysee video on Firefox on my phone before that, so I never felt the need.

x00za ,

I see. I thought you were trying to only use Odysee like me.

0xD ,

SponsorBlock does not change anything about the money they get from sponsorships. So no, that does not help them more than otherwise.

kalleboo ,

YouTube creators can see the view rate for each section of the video, I’d be surprised if sponsors didn’t ask for that data (if just to know the viewer retention for sponsor segments at the beginning vs end of the video)

0xD ,

They talked about it in the WAN show and they do not share that data as of a few months ago.

dwindling7373 ,

I’m pretty sure it does, they do see how many people play the segment.

dwindling7373 ,

They way I uderstand your comment, LTT is big enought so as to negotiate contracts with sponsor without being forced to share the metric related to the performance of the sponsored segment.

I doubt that’s true for many creators.

Fedora Kinote just works.

fulcrummed , to asklemmy in Looking for advice on hobbies and whether I should continue rock climbing?

It’s sounds counter intuitive but paddling is wonderful and easy to become addicted. I have found it’s almost meditative for me and I love being on the water. It can def lead to calluses on your palms but I don’t find a great deal of pressure on individual fingers the way climbing holds can exert. It’s uniform and you can control how hard you push yourself. It’s not like “if I don’t use 100% I’m gonna fall”.

Food for thought maybe…

Good luck finding a new adventure!

And there are no Indians in Indiana.

To the tune of Home Again In Indiana:

FridgeReborn , to nostupidquestions in Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?

I’m lucky to have “inherited” my parents’ doctor. She is extremely compassionate and gets deeply involved in you and your concerns on every visit. So much so that she is infamous for being behind schedule, to the point where we fully expect to wait for an hour to see her after the scheduled appointment time. She makes up for it by talking with you for as long as you want.

She also hasn’t accepted new patients for like 4 years… so yeah, I guess all the good ones are taken.

Ah, but is there Sy in Syfy?

No. No there isn’t.

MegaUltraChicken ,

I will never understand that stupid name change…

harrys_balzac ,

Yeah. I think they were trying to be edgy. Or maybe some guy named Sy Fy did the name change while everyone else was on break.

SkunkWorkz ,

For branding. Sci-fi is generic and can’t be trademarked. While SyFy can be trademarked

billwashere ,

I’m sorry but I just call that the syphilis channel because that’s what pops into my head when I read syfy.

Bob_Robertson_IX , to nostupidquestions in Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?

I find a young doctor in a suburb almost 10 years ago. He’s been great and he listens to me, has no problem taking my suggestions into consideration, and he often admits when he doesn’t know something and will literally Google it right there in the room. It took as while to find someone I like, but it was worth looking.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/874260/The_Forgotten_City/ is another interesting game, that like Outer Wilds, has you piecing together a mystery. Hadn’t seen it mentioned yet.

For an older classic in the mystery/no coddling space there is the https://store.steampowered.com/app/63660/Myst_Masterpiece_Edition/ series. I’ve only played the first, but they’re challenging puzzles/mystery point-and-click games.

This is another reason why a lack of transparency with user votes is bad.

As to why it is seemingly done randomly in reddit, it is to decrease your global karma score to make you less influential and to discourage you from making new comments. You probably pissed off someone’s troll farm in what they considered an influential subreddit. It might also interest you that reddit was explicitly named as part of a Russian influence effort here: www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366201/dl - maybe some day we will see something similar for other obvious troll farms operating in Reddit.

Don’t forget Animal Planet, which hosts shows about tree houses and mermaids now.

jaxiiruff ,

that one pisses me off the most, not to mention that pitbulls and parolees or whatever the fuck its supposed to be. I swear its on every day.

Auster , to games in Spooky Games

I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares by a long shot, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within.
