Interestingly, #YouTube claims that showing content on how to #download or even #watch #videos hosted on their site as "#HarmfulContent"...

• And I'm not talking about 'bypassing paywalls' or 'circumventing age restrictions' but merely saying that '#YoutubeDLP got an #update' or 'a new #Invidious release came out.'

So not even encouraging "#crimes" like #piracy. (Which OFC they don't want to see on their platform!)

• Simply having #ytdlp being shown as one of many programs in the #Flatpak Repo of #LinuxMint is apparently sufficient to get a video yeeted off the platform.

Seriously, WTF!?

• Even #LinusTechTips and @geerlingguy ain't safe.

"#Malware maker sponsors a #shitpost by a #TechIlliterate #Windows n0ob to sell their #Rootkit to #TechIlliterates" would'nt be as clickbaity but a #HonestVideoTitle instead...

Anyone know what happened to the #LTT #Minecraft #Server?

• It was reachable on mc.ltt.gg but since vanished.

I assume with the most competent Sysadmin [ @emilyyoung ] gone, #LinusTechTips had noone there to care or maintain it and as we all know from TheMisterEpic, hosting a Minecraft Server is expensive as in having very real costs with #Staffing, even if one can get #Hosting and #Hardware for free [which it never is!]...

Also yes, I think #Vsauce prioritizing #quality over #quantity is good.

• If I wanted a #content machinegun I'd turn on #LinusTechTips or sth...

most expensive by capacity

• Damn #LinusTechTips #Clickbait!

People who think #LinusTechTips has obnoxious and disingenous #Thumbnails and #Titles should definitely not look at this shit:

• This is the most disingenous #ClickBait I've seen cuz not only is the #Eurostar & #Eurotunnel in the #NorthSea but even if there were corals and reefs between #UK and #France a train relying on overhead electrification could work submerged in #saltwater!

But I guess it worked in #RageBait|ing me...

Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.

Google took down a Linus Tech Tips video because it taught users how to download YouTube without using YouTube.

It would be a shame if that backfired and caused more people to learn how to download YouTube videos!

oh hello Jakob from LTT is a Lemmy user and Fediverse booster?

It's nice to see #LinusTechTips doing the #69DollarPC more often, tho #ScrapyardWars should e done even more often.

• Also anyone betting I can do a € 50, €25 or €10 PC?

And yes, I mean those numbers with shipping and a useable desktop.

In my eyes, LTT has veered significantly more towards entertainment than information, even with their whole "LTT Labs".

#LinusTechTips and their sister channel #ShortCircut have looked at several.

Luke (from #LinusTechTips) made a really good point that I hadn't considered about the new #Microsoft #Recall feature. What about public computers? How many libraries, computer labs or internet cafes are going to be absolute hotbeds for personal data compromise? You know Microsoft will have the feature enabled by default and you know that even if people disable it, they'll randomly re-enable it. What happens on public computers where everyone shares one user account? 1/
