lontong, 10 months ago to technology in YouTube will soon require watch history to be enabled to show video suggestions

If Youtube's algorithm doesn't know you from Adam it can't recommend things that might be relevant to your interests

Having watch history off doesn't mean having no history at all. I have my watch history filled with only the videos I enjoyed (mostly videos with fit girls) before I turned it off. Youtube only recommends me stuffs based on those (and my likes/subscriptions obviously). I can watch whatever random videos I found while pooping and never have to worry it might screw up yt recommendations.

The terminal he was using had arrows printed on those keys because it didn’t have dedicated arrow keys.

That terminal was also responsible for ~ used as home dir in path and ^ as beginning of string in regex.

lontong, 10 months ago to linuxmemes in why is it like this?

Even the old dog did it:

In 1999, Slackware saw its version jump from 4 to 7. Slackware version numbers were lagging behind other distributions, and this led many users to believe it was out of date even though the bundled software versions were similar. Volkerding made the decision to bump the version as a marketing effort to show that Slackware was as up-to-date as other Linux distributions, many of which had release numbers of 6 at the time. He chose 7, estimating that most other distributions would soon be at this release number.

It's his way of saying, "I'm old. I don't know how long I'm gonna live. This might be my last work."

Yeah, they now force redirect you to www.reddit.com after you login from old.reddit.com.

Login only so far. Spez is slowly pulling the rug.

In some setups where each vhost run as its own user, the main apache process has to run as root.

lontong, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in Is there a way to open external link from front page/thread list without opening the thread first?

Thanks. A little weird though. To me it looks like it should be the main priority before every other feature. But may be it's because I came from reddit where its main purpose is a link aggregator.

You can still read NSFW subs without an account on old.reddit.com.

Tried it with feddit.de* (https://kbin.social/d/feddit.de) but I still get posts from there.

They block some countries. I'm in Indonesia and I can't open catbox too without using VPN.
