when i go on youtube and go fullscreen to avoid distractions, youtube has added a new downscroll darkpattern. if i scroll down, it shows me suggested videos, eliminating another digital grounding mechanism (downscroll), as well as violating the sanctity of fullscreen mode. this is the last muffin

purify your videos here: https://purify-video.github.io/
or try using freetube (https://freetubeapp.io/) instead

I'll be honest
Youtube is still in a powerful position.

I have long forsaken cable TV and even classic media to browse the endless amount of content that is on youtube.

It would suck if that comes to an end one day.

But who knows, maybe someway all the content is eventually pay walled
and it would suck.

i increasingly forget that cable tv still exists

youtube can't really be casually navigated like it could in the past -- it's more of a rpg-style experience for me where im fighting off various enemies (search suggestions, advertisements not blocked by ublock origin/video suggestions, social media elements, intrusive ui, darkpattern ui design elements, etc.) while trying to find artificats (videos) and to complete a quest

most of the time i would prefer to just casually watch videos, however. but i would rather not deal with the inevitable stress of psychological manipulation so i don't

was watching a video about ponies running a ponycon seemingly going wrong. it has left me with the impression that ponycons may have become a standardized commodity. is a ponycon even a ponycon amymore if ponies need the money from it in order to live or are looking for a specific ponycon experience (say for nostalgia or to share with their kids) - or is it just something more like every other anime convention in existence, disney world, or perhaps even a fair ---- but with ponies?

also any plans for ponycons next year?

i just watched it (never read homestuck) about five more times and archetypeally-speaking, it is excellent. a lot could be written about it. kinda doubt the series will continue at this archetypal level, though -- would almost consider pilot complete as is

Sometimes I get a little jolt where I want to pick up some classes on coding / programming. Then it goes away after a while and I never really do anything with it.

Anyway, it is now 2025. We're no longer college geeks and are now fully encased in real world activities, settling on our work or own hobbies. Who here still codes / programs this year?

What are the currently favourite languages you use in 2025?
What personal projects have you ever been involved with?
Are you still adamantly coding by hand and your own brain? Or have you submitted to prompt AI to give you the code pieces to set up your project?

Actually, that's more accurate, yeah.  You certainly could ask for text input every time for something more classic, but that isn't the default.

Hah, your remind me how I used to be deep into Insane Clown Posse and various other Psychopathic Records songs back in the day. I guess I was just enamored with the concept of a whole record label basically just producing horror themed rap.

I haven't listened to them in a while, though I don't really think they deserve their bad reputations (although there is no question the "Fuckin' Magnets" thing was memeworthy),

Yeah ... AI generated media probably shouldn't be legally monetized given the underlying nature as a super fine grained remixing machine.

ah you're missing out! it's good stuff! although you could make a Dr. Pepper float which is also pretty good too

it's gotten me on a couple occassions, but the atmosphere is very oppressive, which i love. i know that some people gripe about the combat, but i personally don't mind it. and i think it's the one game i've played that uses weapon degredation to it's advantage. on a few occassions, i dreaded getting into a fight in case i lose my weapon, so i really have to make decisions on whether to avoid or fight, and it works for me.

glad you rose to the occassion and got gud!

i'm probably gonna head to bed, but you take care, okay?

We don't have Dr. Pepper either! At least I've never seen it.

Ah, so the weapons degrade? Is there genereally a lot of combat?

Maybe a little gud. Or just overpowered, heh.

A lot of things depend on luck in content creation, and pretending otherwise is  at best naive. There are plenty of folks who work very hard and just never hit that good stride.

I mean, I have been doing some form of online content over a decade and a half, and it's not like I've had any major success. I've had like one or two videos that surprisingly popped off (on a small scale), but neither lead to any major growth. Probably isn't helped by me wearing a lot of different hats, but whatever.

It's frustrating and draining, but I really dunno what else to do. Even in these long quiet periods, I do enjoy making all this stuff. I just also tend to fall into a "clearly nothing I make is good / will ever be good" mindset when next to none of it ever seem to attract any attention.

Not healthy, I know, but also hard not to do.
