When you play either of these videos it’s just a AI voice talking over someone just clicking around. The scripts are also so similar.
The internet is dying.

1 dayLitterally though, YouTube is so broken now.
They keep watering down the desktop interface and showing me videos that look so inauthentic.

If you’re wondering about Fedora vs CachyOS, it comes down to what you do on your PC. And what you’re used to.
If you want better “preconfiguration” for graphics stuff, CachyOS is the way to go. With Fedora you will end up referencing and maintaining a whole lot more yourself, while the CachyOS maintainers basically do all that maintinance and config optimization for you.
But Fedora might be better for a less GPU-focused “workstation” type system.
Generally, I’d look at the “style” and interests of distro maintainers. CachyOS is built by a collective of linux gaming/compute enthusiasts that snowballed into popularity, though it does inherit all the work from Arch. Fedora is a long standing workstation/server workhorse, a “pre release” for Red Hat enterprise linux.

Youtube is already pretty bad anyways. Adding LLM tools and similar, as a local saying goes, is just a fart to who already shat him/herself.
Can’t wait for YouTube to fuck up media hosting for everyone because the ai they’ve been pushing is flooding their servers.
Truly, who could have seen this coming?

i love the two generic handsome white dudes, who the fuck sees that kind of guy and thinks “ah yes that’s the ideal source for computer advice” rather than “oh i’ve never seen those football teams before”

Yeah, if the person I’m watching isn’t a poorly dressed hobo vlogging himself strolling through the woods, it’s shit information.

No, not dying. Evolving, adapting to new developments. It is our job to oppose the ones that are not in our interest. The only way we can do is reject these. Unfortunately YT is a lost battle b/c they do not allow downvoting or blocking. In the search results or related videos they are peddling the same AI shit, without people being able to block channels.
If anything, it is YouTube that is dying. No worries though, the Internet will provide something else in its place.

Yeah this is a huge problem now. Ai generated bullshit has ruined YouTube and it was already ruined by too much garbage.
You are partially right. It sucks that the first 3 reviews are slop, but after that is mostly human stuff.

Also. You can use one of the third-party YouTube clients available for Linux to have more way to filter off content and ads (sadly It won’t filter off the Ai slop, at least for now). One of the most used is Piped.

I found this video thanks, it’s heavily focused on gaming though, which isn’t thaaaat important to me, but good to know.

It’s been going to shit for years, but it is almost incomprehensible how quickly it has fallen in the last 6-12 months. If I try to find any review/comparison in an attempt to be a somewhat informed consumer, and it’s just all slop.
I think switching to Peertube is an effective strategy since channels actually use the disk space for proper videos.

We need a browser extension with a whitelist for accounts that are either verified, or created before 2022. If the extension gets popular and people start buying old accounts to post spam on, then it would also need a blacklist for confirmed spammers.
😮💨
“Versus” videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage

Real travel videos for niche places are so annoying to find now.
Good luck finding a review of a niche product category among the slop lists.

Both are wonderful. I still recommend Fedora to most new users, but I decided to test drive CachyOS almost year ago and then never went back. Cachy is so cozy.

Capitalism makes it worth it to setup an Agent and 50 new channels on YT that does nearly the same. It doesn’t matter how many people gets spammed as long as some views are amassed. It already happens in normal biz on all levels. All AI ‘slop’ is just Capitalist slop. Really, it’s only there to make money.
I find them annoying too, but unfortunately, AI accelerates the Capitalist enshittification we see everywhere…

I miss the days when making money from posting things on the Internet wasn’t really a (widespread) thing. In the earliest days of YouTube there was no partner program, everyone who uploaded anything there did so out of enthusiasm; if we still had that, maybe we’d have fewer videos overall, but no one would have a reason to post AI slop or other low-quality videos just for profit.
I think the quote I saw was “The internet was great when people were bored. It became terrible when they got hungry.”

It is being sacrificed to the dying screams of capitalism, to squeeze one final drop of profit from its corpse.

Short form videos are especially flooded with slop and AI voice summaries of movie plots and DIY hacks. Its depressing, but also I’d like to cut back on my mindless content watching and maybe this is the motivation I need.

Currently on Kubuntu and I love it, but keen to see if there’s a better KDE desktop out there.
Fedora seems great, but is it stable enough to also recommend to friends?
- st3ph3n@midwest.socialEnglish4 months
I’ve been running Fedora with KDE on both my Thinkpad and gaming desktop for like 6 months. I like it a lot.
It might not be my first choice to recommend to Linux-cautious friends, it stays pretty bleeding edge in terms of updates, which might occasionally cause a little chaos.
