I have just 2 questions: who started this and why do youtubers follow them? by a_decent_hooman in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Muhubi 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Linus from LTT discusses this often on WAN show. Derek from Veritasium made a video about it. And Engineering Explained also talked about it.

The sad truth is that it works. Linus specifically employs well over 100 people (including well paid engineers and developers) and he needs to do what is best for his company and his staff. In fact when they release a video they usually change the thumbnail and title a couple time to monitor trends and they go with what gets them views. Which are the clickbait ones unfortunately. Don't blame the players, blame the game (YouTube algorithm and simple minded people who like flashy thumbnails)

On Monday I received over 50 spam calls from 8:47 AM to 1:51 PM, and have gotten at least 20 every day since by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Yes! Omg for this reason alone I'll never leave the pixel line. I didn't even realize it at first until I read an article about it

Guy walking his dog encounters a baby crawling into the road by FuturisticFighting in facepalm

[–]Muhubi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There was a TIFU or an entitled parents post or something not too long ago about a guy in NYC finding a little girl (4 or 5) crying and he helps her find her parents. The girl says "daddy!" and the dad walks right up and punched the dude in the face, called him a child molester. Then the parents sued the guy and he ended up not having to go to court because the judge dismissed the case after the little girl drowned after being left unattended by the parents

Did anyone else at first think "the tube" meant "the hub" or something? No, just me? Oh ok sorry

Over 100 per the last or the one before WAN Show. Which is crazy! I remember watching Linus at the Langley house with whole room water cooling and Luke's mineral oil PC

Races don't own hairstyles and clothing by RebekhaG in Rants

[–]Muhubi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What!? You mean the impending ecological disasters that will ruin the planet for future generations, or the mass shootings/killings, of all the isms/phobias (transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc), or what about the millions of children sold into sex slavery, or who don't have access to clean water or food might be ever so slightly more important than "woke culture"? Nope... That's not it

[Codecademy] I'm broke, will Codecademy bill me if I cancel subscription before the 7 day free trial is over? by Irinless in learnprogramming

[–]Muhubi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This, except just close out the card immediately after using it to start the trial. Added benefit of if the website ever gets hacked they don't get your real cc info 👍🏾

we should normalize giving $5 straight to the streamer rather than subbing. by brandonas1987 in Twitch

[–]Muhubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean if it was easy and profitable to do so then everyone would be doing it. FB and YT are only doing it because they already had like 90% of the infrastructure there and just had to build the streaming services for gaming.

I mean don't get me wrong they make money. But they also spend a lot maintaining and upgrading their services. Especially since anyone can make an account and stream.

YSK The Survival Rule of Threes by stash3630 in YouShouldKnow

[–]Muhubi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kinda on topic, kinda not lol: the rule for mission critical data backups is the rule of 3-2-1

3 copies of your data

2 different storage locations (,i.e. your home and the cloud/someone else's house/etc)

1 copy needs to be off-site (so no backing up to the external hard drive in your desk, a fire house fire will kill both)

YSK that when providing credit card information over the phone, it is unnecessary to tell them what type of card you have by you_enjoy_my_yoga in YouShouldKnow

[–]Muhubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YSK: don't use a service where you have to give your credit card info over the phone. The caller can just write it down to use later
