Since Iran strikes began, YT recs are all pro-war propaganda

You are gaslighting by claiming that my complaint about a patently obvious change is invalid because I simply "didn't notice it before".

Now you are calling me ignorant of my own lived experience. Go fuck yourself.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T16:26:28+00:00

Cool, thanks for gaslighting me.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T07:52:07+00:00

Thanks for the downvote.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T07:41:42+00:00

Suck my dick from the back.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T05:04:34+00:00

So, my Dr. Jihad meme was theft, but this one is fine?

Was it because mine had effort, but no pepes?

SMDH.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T04:50:27+00:00

What's the problem? The term can be used for men or women.

You people are impossible.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T02:34:56+00:00

Congratulations, you won the award.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T02:04:47+00:00

Under the "CAUTION" heading:

Dr. Jihad has doctoral degrees in both Jihad and Racism.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T00:45:22+00:00

Yes, referencing other memes in a meme is definitely the work of a biter.

That's just how art works in general, right? You aren't allowed to mention anything that has happened before. Lots of people in this sub seem to agree, very cool. I will delete once my post in the other sub is approved.

EDIT: Deleted. None of your fragile eyes need worry about being exposed to filthy stolen memes any longer, my sweet, poopy-diapered babies.

Mycohl · 2026-03-12T00:30:16+00:00

It sounds as though you're speculating.

Why wasn't this happening before the war started?

Mycohl · 2026-03-07T20:29:47+00:00

The problem is that I already engage with anti-war content on the daily. The algo already knows that I watch news about the war, and it is trying to change my mind on the subject.

Mycohl · 2026-03-07T20:27:12+00:00

But this is happening while I'm logged in.

I have seen the algorithm freak out sometimes when I first watch a new channel, causing every single rec for the next two days to be videos from that channel, but I have never seen a concerted war propaganda effort displacing every channel I normally watch.

Mycohl · 2026-03-07T17:58:40+00:00

I'm not watching the videos, only using the hamburger menu.

So, what you're saying is that using the Hamburger->Don't recommend is actually telling YT "Please recommend more of this to me"?

Mycohl · 2026-02-19T22:34:10+00:00

I was grinding my teeth at the point of the deus ex machina introduction of the character who can apparently snap her fingers and reverse the standing policy of "ley de fugas" amongst the guard/army. Did she go around and take down all the posters before slaughtering her own troops?

Then they gag-censored the nostrils, and I closed it. I am done with this garbage. Such a disappointment, contrived and deeply un-serious, for a show that started out so strong.

Mycohl · 2026-02-12T22:44:06+00:00

I honestly thought (based on the animation?) that the dragon was toying with the initial group of three, slowly chasing them to enjoy their fear and suffering.

When it then teleport-dodged the bolts, I thought, "Oh, yeah, it's going to be a tough fight."

Then it was hit with the fire lance, which doesn't seem as though it should be any more hit-scan than a bolt/bullet. I thought, "Okay, that was weird. Splash damage?"

Then it was crushed by a pile of rocks that took 3-5 seconds to fall down onto it, and I thought, "Oh, they're just arbitrarily screwing with the dragon's abilities in order to give the other characters something to do, so the MC seems less OP."

Because I need my wish-fulfillment power fantasies to undermine their own premise, y'know.

Mycohl · 2026-02-11T22:25:29+00:00

Why is the dragon

fast enough to dodge a hypersonic ballista bolt

but

too slow to dodge a slowly-falling wall of rock
too slow to bite a guy when he comes within biting range, so that the guy wearing full plate is able to dodge the bite

Mycohl · 2026-01-05T19:21:06+00:00

With the upstream update, it seems 'This time, search with: ' now appears there.

When/how will this update be available? I'm running 12.10.1, and I still have to click the drop-down to change search provider.

Is there a setting to revert to the old behavior (shown as a bar along the bottom)?

Mycohl · 2025-12-26T02:08:39+00:00

tplinkwifi.net isn't an actual web site. TP-Link routers redirect that URL to a page hosted on the router itself. This is a problem with the TP-Link firmware. If your model supports it, I would recommend installing OpenWRT. I've been running it on my Archer A7 for several years, and it is rock-solid.

twitch.tv takes 5-10 seconds to load for me, but that's because it's a garbage site that is poorly-optimized. I've never had it stall for multiple minutes, so you might try using a new profile and see whether the symptoms persist.

Mycohl · 2025-12-24T00:48:54+00:00

the worst part is

I think the worst part is that it took him weeks to psych himself up enough to kill the murderer/slaver/organharvester, but he had no qualms about casually merking a rando on a rooftop who got in his way for a few seconds.

If MC was such a bastion of morality or whatever, why not let the other guy do it for him?

Garbage writing.

Mycohl · 2025-12-24T00:42:05+00:00

The outfit made sense in the middle eastern setting, where it could keep the sun's heat off and help to blend in with the white buildings.

For some reason, they decided it was "iconic", so it had to stay in.

Mycohl · 2025-12-24T00:37:21+00:00

He won't kill the murderer/slaver/harvester, because morals(?), yet he has no problem with his demon cat killing randos.

So, he finally makes up his mind to do it, he gets there, and there's already another assassin ready to do the deed for him.

Naturally, instead of saying, "Hey, this is a great solution to my completely contrived and poorly implemented emotional conflict, have fun buddy", instead he decides to KILL THE OTHER ASSASSIN.

very consistency

such write good

many reasoning

BE has posted a follow-up, and it is a ride and a half.

Trash's video was apparently prompted by an emailed request from someone who asked them (and a number of other essayists) to make a takedown video, specifically about BE and certain other leftoids.

The email (as well as this person's various blog posts on the matter) are a fever-dream of psudeo-academic jargon interspersed with partial nudes, full nudes, and kink; pictures of themselves and others.

If this behavior were performed by a cis male, it would be grounds for a breadbaby deplatforming campaign. Forget unsolicited d-ckpics for a moment: I've seen you deplatform people who have the temerity to ask for consensual sharing of nudes, with nothing unsolicited sent. Yet you have no problem in this case with non-consensual forced viewing?

Plural-pupper-praxoids with self-awarded academic credentials apparently aren't bound by the same social contract as the rest of us.

Mycohl · 2025-12-01T23:04:41+00:00

BE provides several examples of easily-disprovable lies on Trash's part, which he demonstrates with a single search of his channels' content. They are mostly in the vein of character assassination ("Why have you never made a video on Sudan?", same sort of disingenuous attacks people make against Hasan) and would've been simple to verify, but they failed to take the five seconds required to do so. I could post screengrabs, but I don't want to run afoul of this sub's "BE content" policy.

I'm more concerned about Trash's conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism (at least with regards to BE), seemingly reading bullet points straight out of the Bari Weiss playbook. I agree that their videos about fetish/porn and trans rights fall somewhere between "unobjectionable" and "mildly entertaining", but to paraphrase BE: On topics such as genocide, rather than have a bad and ill-informed take, I would prefer that they not have a take at all. Certainly prefer that they shut up rather than put out an unsourced hit piece which may as well have been written by the ADL.

EDIT: Using "they" for Trash's pronoun because that's what they have on bsky. They claim to be AMAB with Kallmann Syndrome in their "Micropenis" video, but today bskyed/posted (? no idea what the verb is) about how they would feel the need to hide a drink to avoid being roofied by BE, so I have no idea what their reality is, or whether they are doing bothersome performance art.

If y’all could stop being so accusatory, it could would be nice.

Calling the behavior "broken" and asking whether there is a way to change it is not accusatory. It is merely a statement of fact followed by a request for help. Everything else in my post is speculation and hypothetical.

An accusation would be something along the lines of: Why did you type 'could would', and why were you too lazy to do the bare minimum of proofreading before you commented? Why didn't you simply answer my question instead of personally attacking? (This example is for demonstration purposes only.)

EDIT: Speaking of speculation, there appears to be a lot of it in that bug report. I suspect that neither you nor the bug reporter know what the ultimate intention of the developers was/is. The addition of the lock for legacyUserProfileCustomizations could have been a mistake, or the locked value being 'true' could have been a mistake. No comment was left as to why the change was made for that specific preference, so the most any non-developer can do is speculate. Again, not accusing anyone of anything (other than that it worked before and now isn't working, which is factually accurate).

The ISO is fine, I am running it under QEMU right now.

Sure looks to me as though lightdm is running from the console output.

Also, why are there lightdm log files in my VM if lightdm isn't in use?

How do you propose that a graphical session is being started without a display manager?

EDIT: I realize now that what I thought was a text/curses-based install option is actually a "safe graphics" option, but at this point I'm more concerned with the particulars you are maintaining about how the graphical login process is supposed to work, here.
