That’s cool. How did you go about finding that? Any communities you can recommend?

In my experience, these YouTube channels buy that simplicity in exchange for leaving out many (important) details. Sure, college professors aren’t all didactic geniuses, but making things accurate usually requires to also make it more complicated.

I, too, would like the winter winds to teach me about Rust.

No and no, it’s just hype IMO. But the trickle of new users seems sufficient to make Lemmy a more interesting place to be and a more viable platform long term. That’s already quite good if you ask me.

Man, when I played, poor Paul got burnt to a crisp. I’m still having flashbacks from that shock.

Roman emperor Elagabalus is my personal entry for the “historical man-children so incompetent it’s surprising they even made it that far” category.

I feel like Windows 7 fills the sweet spot between the seemless UI of the 2000/XP era and newer versions. Windows 10/11 could top that list if Microsoft had bothered to create a proper UI instead of just slapping some material design on a handful of apps, while everything else is still basically 2000/XP. Then again, GTK2/3/4 can be almost as bad.

Despite the fact that Lemmy is a fairly new piece of software, which makes these issues more likely, I am really grateful for it being open source, and I really appreciate this level of transparency.

Could also help to deactivate the personalized advertising functionality in the Google/YouTube settings (basically wipe currently stored preference, the forbid YouTube from making suggestions based on your interests). This will keep her feed fairly generic (and bad, oh boy) so that she would have to actively search for or subscribe to these videos.
