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.

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.

edit: they reverted it. fucking cowards.

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.

 

I know I can preview images and videos, but to read a news article I have to open the thread first then click the link to the article.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching "open link" but kbin search the whole fediverse instead of this magazine.

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.
