Tbh, I don’t think there is a definite “youtube style” that describes all content on youtube. There are some similarities and within categories of videos you can find styles that are more popular within that category, but site wide I would say it provides quite a bit of variety.

What could be called youtube style is that it’s not TV. In that sense YT style and TV style maybe make some sense.

Thank you for putting all of this so succintly. I’m not into teaching, but I’ve done a few workshops and I always struggle to express the attitude you described to get the pupils engaged.

I had this same attitude when I was a student. Even though my professors were older and more knowledgable, I always tried to approach them as peers and it worked out great. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but because I talked, I could use my strengths better because I was more aware of the expectations and requirements than a portion of other students.

I saw them live circa 2016, amazing band. Very energetic.

Unreasonable comment.

I’ve massively slowed down and passed the reins to a new admin, but I’ve been documenting and posting the graffiti scene in my city for 12 years. Started on Tumblr, migrated to Facebook and now it’s on Instagram.

Care to share?

I haven’t been on dA for at least 10 years. I used to upload to Flickr regularly, but now everything I post is on IG and I keep telling myself I will make a photo portfolio someday.

What makes a good portfolio? I feel like I’m constantly lying and it’s a pain in the ass to find clients, even though I’m confident in my technical skills.

I like this as a way of rubberducking. Not on the internet though. Don’t argue with stupid on the internet.

Is “kinda” a legitimate answer?

I’ve got a fake FB account for the marketplace.

And I’ve got 4 Instagram accounts. But I don’t really use instagram that much anymore and haven’t since the start of pandemic when it just made me feel awful. I install the app when I need to/want to post a reel or a story. Otherwise I sometimes post pictures from my laptop and do some lurking.

So I feel like I’ve broken free from the scrolling prison, but I still use the platform. Sometimes.

In my language (Latvian) we use praxis if not daily then often. It just means “a way of doing things”. In educational terms it’s an internship.

So it’s not necessarily an application of theory because it doesn’t imply you know any theory. It’s just practical action.

That said what you said isn’t wrong, I just wanted to expand on it since it’s a common term I use.

Ah, I’m also planning on hooking up a rain barrel before summer starts and everything in Dalmatia dries out. Good luck with yours!

I’m also looking into using mulch, but haven’t researched it at all so I’m unsure what exactly I can do with it in my garden. I was thinking of using last year’s grass to cover the plots of land I’m going to plant stuff in.

Planting my own veggies for the first time and cleaning the overgrown space in my backyard that was once a garden.

I also got my grandma to send me blackcurrant cuttings across half of Europe and they took to the soil here surprisingly well. I essentially just dug a hole, put higher quality soil into it and stuck the branches into the soil. The rain and the sun did the rest of the work and within a week I’m seeing small leaves.

The plan for this month is to dig up the land in the backyard, prepare plots for the veggies and create a fence from the branches that come from the laurel trees that we cleared about a month ago.

I’m also letting the lawn do its own thing in the part of the property that’s facing the street. It’s spectecular. Short vid here.

This is really interesting and a good way to think about a bunch of things. I’ll try it out. I do pay some attention to processes, but not to granular detail.

This is a very rationalistic worldview though. Surely you don’t look at everything as a process?

Might be a silly question, but aren’t SSD’s supposedly worse than HDD’s for storing data long term? Or is that just a myth?

I’ve read that if you only store data and then read it off the disk without overwriting then it’s comparable to HDD data degradation wise. Not sure how true is that.

I was just commenting on this to my gf a couple of days ago - I’m browsing and posting on the internet less so I feel more free to do things in a way that I like without thinking about the what audience they’re for.

In a way the awful state, and what I view as a downfall (remains to be seen), of big sites that everyone has been tied to for essentially a decade feels like shedding chains. I hope more people quit and spend their energy elsewhere. It doesn’t have to be another site, it can be any offline endeavour.

I’m on Lemmy because I’ve come to a realization that the reason I enjoyed internet back in the day was, as you said, a different type of engagement. And I don’t think it will ever be as it used to be. But a big part of that engagement was conversations like we’re having right now. At least in my algorithm enclosed corner of big social media sites I don’t see people reacting and having a conversation. It’s just a reaction, thanks, like, bye. Sometimes there’s arguing. But never a conversation.

I think downvotes on facts and upvotes on feelings is just people wanting to feel validated, but not having the energy to engage with content. It used to happen on reddit too a lot. A lot of communities there are based on dealing with human emotions and situations in life. People seeking advice and validation about their lives being the primary motivation for even creating an account on the site.

I have a little pet theory backed by some reading that people are overstimulated by junk content to the point where they just can’t meaningfully engage in serious discussions anymore and that leads to the phenomena of populism on a political scale and simple, emotion-based upvoting on a Lemmy scale.

Your comment nicely illustrates OPs observation.

Anyone can feel free to disagree with me or poke at inconsistencies in what I wrote, I know they’re there, but I don’t have the time to write an essay. But calling me a retarded child while misinterpreting what I said is exactly the kind of aggressive commenting I believe OP is pointing out.
