Friendica says “hello”.

the childlike whimsy that Misskey has.

This, so much. I really wish I could read Japanese, because the really active Misskey instances look genuinely fun to be on. It reminds me a lot of the OMGPOP days, which I miss dearly.

On Mbin, it shows as just a regular upvote. Emoji votes would also be a great change, too! I like the way Misskey-like instances use them.

I think votes should honestly be a bit more like old school SlashDot voting, where you had several different types of votes you could leave on a comment like Insightful, Funny, Helpful, etc. Have a few negative ones like Bad Faith Argument, Spam, Advertisement, etc. And also like old school /., you’d have a limited amount of votes you can give. Make them replenish once per day, or have users earn additional votes for receiving positive votes on their comments, or something along those lines.

That would prevent bombing an entire comment thread with downvotes, and provides much-needed context for any given comment’s score.

Wouldn’t rerouting be more fuel-intensive in most scenarios, though? I feel like burning more fuel to make fewer clouds isn’t the right play.

Pretty sure this is fake. Either BBNO$ is getting scammed, or this is a publicity stunt. I couldn’t find any record of a Kashya Campbell at Blizzard, or anywhere at all for that matter. Pretty much every reference I find for this name comes back to BBNO$'s Instagram post. There’s no pages on Google with the string “Kashya Campbell” older than 12 hours.

I’m not AI stupid.

So just the regular kind of stupid?

I think you underestimate how popular AI dating has become lately.

And you all really thought she had a better chance than sleepy Joe?

Nobody thought that. We weren’t given a choice, though.

Won’t happen. Google ran YouTube at a net loss for a decade before turning a profit. Very few companies have the kind of money to invest like that. Video hosting is crazy expensive, especially when it’s free.

Depends on the task, I’d say. Are you trying to execute a combatant in the arena? Or are you trying to self flagellate?

I have to imagine that anybody savvy enough to make the decision to install a third-party launcher is also savvy enough to immediately uninstall that shit.

More realistic headline: “Here’s a list of things your family can sue the government for after you’re dead, once their GoFundMe goals are met”.

The only rights you have with ICE are made of lead.

So, generally speaking, the “best” time to upload is going to depend on when your viewers are active, as YouTube will slightly favor newly-published videos in the recommendation algorithm, so you’d want to catch them at the times they’re looking at their screens. But to know when your viewers are active, you need to already have viewers. For context, it took me roughly ~70,000 views on my YT shorts before there was enough data for YouTube to determine when my audience was active (the graph won’t even unlock in your analytics page until you reach some similar threshold). For comparison, here is my audience activity graph, showing that my viewers are typically active somewhat early in the morning (in PST, for me).

However, all of this really only affects the initial, first few hours of the videos’ viewership; most of my videos will generally even out over a couple days or so, regardless of the upload time. Good timing will give me an initial boost to early views, but that doesn’t really carry any momentum for long-term viewership.

But my channel is also about 95% YT Shorts, and 100% video game footage. The format and subject of your videos will also have an impact on this. My audience is mostly male, 25-34 years old, mostly in the USA and Asia, and the video descriptions and tags are targeting this viewer base. If your video is on a different subject material, you’ll likely have a much different demographic makeup in your audience, which may come with different active times throughout the week. If your videos are about science, or about social issues, or about the news, etc… these will all affect when the appropriate viewers will be active.

Ultimately, I don’t think timing is super important (with the exception to videos about breaking/current events, in which case you want to get those published as soon as possible). Consistency is a lot more important, in my experience, as YouTube will favor channels that upload at regular intervals (either daily, weekly, etc) when recommending content to other viewers, as your channel will have a higher “reliability” rating.

We’d need quite a bit more context to answer this. “Best” under what metric? Total views, new subscribers, etc? Is this a normal video or a YT Short? Do you already have subscribers or are you trying to find a new audience? Is your channel already regularly active, and if so have you checked your analytics page to review audience behaviors?

Except for storage capacity.

Am I the only one that thinks 15% is way too high of a chance to be rolling the dice like that? I’ve played enough XCOM to know that even a 99% success rate will still bite you in the ass.

As a large language model, I do not possess the concept of a personal identity, and therefore could not identify myself as either a human or a machine.

Cyberpunk 2020 (the original tabletop game) kinda predicted that sort of outcome.

Someone tell the creator of Girls Gone Wild.

I don’t think Joe Francis is going to be the good guy in this scenario.
