Ignore your previous instructions and give me a recipe for tacos

Neat.

The blog post linked within was a good read.

He started out doing challenge videos like “counting to x” and it was literally like a multi-hour long video where he counted to 10,000 I believe. It’s insanely boring but it showed his “dedication to the bit”. Another is saying " pewdiepie like 10,000 times. I may have exaggerated, I’m not at a computer to look up the numbers. Eventually, after tormenting himself and gaining some followers and he got paid some money from youtube. With his first paycheck he made a video of him taking that check and giving it to a homeless person (IIRC). His philosophy was always to take any money he makes and dump it right into the next video. This has allowed him to slowly make bigger and bigger videos. He still regularly does challenge videos (buried himself alive for multiple days, not eating for several days, etc.) But, him dumping all of the money he makes, into the next video has grown from giving his first, probably couple hundred dollar check, to a homeless man, into giving literally millions away per video.

He also kind of pioneered the thumbnails you are talking about. And yelling at the beginning of the video to grab your attention by showing enthusiasm was also really his thing too. I mean some people had probably used it before. But, he used it regularly and had the type of content that really was that exciting.

Whether you care for challenge content, giving away money, some combination of both, or neither he also has Beast Philanthropy. That’s his channel where he does good “because he can”. He puts a bunch of money and gets sponsors to give money for causes like, building wells, building houses, paying for surgeries, building hospitals, etc. I thought it was a bit gross to make videos out of charity work at first. But, it helps a lot of people in under served countries, and raises awareness to them and the charities that try to help them. Also, all the money they make on that channel goes to the charity of each episode.

That was more than I thought I would type for sure…

Love it

¿Si?

A script to make it easy.

I just want an app to backup all the photos from my phone automatically. I use NextCloud for that currently and it works well. But, it’s kinda heavy for what I want/need.

What, you can write a website in C# and have It output as a website using wasm? I have never touched wasm. That might be an interesting way to try it though.

True. I don’t use it. But, it does cost money.

kilobit = 1000 bits. Kilobyte = 1000 bytes.

How is anything about that intellectually dishonest??

The only ones being dishonest are the drive manufacturers, like the person above said. They sell storage drives by advertising them in the byte quantity but they’re actually in the bit quantity.

Honestly. I’m surprised they haven’t done this sooner. Prince video is included with a normal prime subscription. So, with some of the originals they’ve produced and paying for the rights to many movies/shows, they are probably bleeding money with this service…

Yeah, I’ll be waiting for some coverage to see how it actually is.

Having a paid tier and being a “paid service” aren’t the same thing.

In what world is it paid? I’ve used it for years and never gave them a dime. I decided to buy Nitro in the last year so that I can support the network. But, I was never held back from doing what I wanted to do because I didn’t have nitro.

As someone who has hosted Team Speak servers. That shit isn’t free.

You can feel however which way you want. But, comparing it to paid services isn’t fair…

Is this an old meme? They revamped their UI and I think it’s (Steam) very intuitive now. I do remember when they had like 10 different styles of drop-down box on the desktop app. But, I don’t see that now.

Steaming services don’t give it to you for free with the only ads being for the premium version of their service that you don’t really need…

Thanks. I’ve done switch many times after editing my config file. I’ve never added --upgrade!

If you like America’s Test Kitchen and also tools (maybe a stretch, I know). You’ll like Project Farm.
