TechSquidTV··on Mastodon Is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media – In a Good Way
Too disconnected. You are expected to remember to visit multiple forums every day. Think of every forum you are no longer a part of, one day you just forgot about it. What Discord ACTUALLY gives you, is notifications. If forums were as low-friction to join an interact with as Discord, there would be more incentive. Unfortunately centralization usually means centralizing body.

Lemmy is a federated reddit alternative that in some ways is like a modern forum.

TechSquidTV··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf
I and other educational content creators thank you. YouTube is not evil, the service they provide for both content creators and viewers on YouTube is not only fair, it is clearly unmatched.
TechSquidTV··on [video] Fully levitating LK-99 sample claimed replicated
No, that is an unstable configuration that would lead to the sample being ejected. We see quantum locking here and no coolant. This is the most convincing video I have seen by far.
TechSquidTV··on The QR-code menu is being shown the door
From a business point of view, what percentage of customers do not have a smart phone?

They can be aware and not care. This is tinfoil hat.

TechSquidTV··on Nvidia RTX Remix Runtime Open Source Available Now
Pretty much Eunreal Engine 5 is going to completelyt fix this, but it's pretty new. Other engine's will pick up the same techniques. In 5ish years, this problem will be long gone.

TechSquidTV··on Kiwi Farms is down across all domains as DDoS-Guard terminates service
I dont understand this post, it seems so backwards. Are we upset that a social harm has been deplatformed by a private company by simply choosing to not serve them? No one has prevented Kiwifarms from being on the internet, in fact that isn't even really possible.

Free speech is working as intended. There is legally nothing wrong with saying what you want on the internet, but that doesn't mean everyone else needs to listen to you or agree with you.

If Kiwifarms is worried about free speech, they can stand on a milk crate and hand out free newspapers, completely legally.

TechSquidTV··on OBS – Open Broadcaster Software
We need to find a way to better integrate UI/UX designers into open source.
TechSquidTV··on Have an old iPad lying around? You might be able to make it run Linux soon
Because if the question is "Would I pay $200 more for an Xbox just to be able to install Linux on it", I think you will find the vast majority of consumers would respond with a resounding and an in-unison "hell no".

If the manufacturer is selling at a loss, with the intention of making that money back through software, and that subsidy is removed, the majority of customers will see this as a loss.

TechSquidTV··on PBS SpaceTime
One of the best and most underrated science channels on YouTube. I hope he gets his deserved rise in popularity, though his channel is growing faster now.
TechSquidTV··on PBS SpaceTime
I watch an _absurd_ amount of PBS content on YouTube and other science channels. Not as many math channels but certainly a few. I am so angry this was never recommended to me earlier, and full of joy that my weekend is set!
