As long as I can disable it or opt out of it, I don’t mind. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t want videos recommended to me.

With Youtube, it’s not a big deal because I never log in there, I browse in private mode and set firefox to delete cookies. So when I go to Youtube, I just get a blank page with no recommendations.

But with Peertube, I need to login to get full functionality (federated search, etc). So I would need an option to turn off video recommendations or whatever.

As a computer guy, I can appreciate that working with data is cool - there’s a lot of neat stuff you can determine from it. As a user, it creeps me out. If I went my favorite restaurant, and the waitress recommended something based on the last 5 times I ate there, I would stop going to that restaurant.

Nice guide. I’m glad to see they mentioned GPU switching. It’s really underrated.

I know right? It’s like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it’s not worth it.

You probably don’t want it

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.

I just looked at my Steam stats today and 52% is RT3. There may be plenty of games that surpass it in visuals, but game mechanics are a different story, and without a stock market I don’t see much of a point.

I played Tropico 3-5, but gave up after they refused to give us highways and overpasses.

AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG’s hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

You may want to ask over in !datahoarder@lemmy.ml . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it’s perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

Edit: If your CPU doesn’t support the codec, it will still work, it just won’t be accelerated.

OMG. I originally got the impression (from somewhere) that you couldn’t pass arguments to an alias, so I googled and found that weird function nonsense. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks.

alias hgrep='function _f(){ history | grep $1; };_f'

Because I’m to lazy to type

history | grep whatever_I'm_looking_for

Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t figure out why Steam was broken on my laptop for the last 3 weeks or so. Installing the .deb from the Steam website fixed it. I’m starting to get fed up with Canonical.

The best list I’ve seen is https://fediverse.party/en/peertube/ , if you scroll down a bit, they list 4 different server indexers. My favorite is https://peertube.fediverse.observer/list because it shows you the most info, the only problem is it doesn’t give you a description of the instance (politics, content, etc.)

I know what you mean though. Choosing an instance is hard. I looked through a hundred or more before I chose one to join.
