“Tutto bene grazie? Sono soddisfatto.” (laipad la pazzia…)
Post muto.
…No, ok, ovviamente non ce la posso proprio fare a non commentare, figurarsi. Eppure è difficile anche dire qualcosa, perché i boomer (e pre-boomer?) su Internet, e più nello specifico sui negozi online, in casi come questo… semplicemente lasciano senza parole. 😭Ho trovato un iPad vecchio come il cucco, di tipo 11 anni fa, ricondizionato su Amazon a circa 70 euro e, se a qualcuno è arrivato spaccato (ops, ma gnam), a qualcuno più anziano è arrivato “Tutto ok“, tanto da meritarsi 5 stelle nonostante il vecchiume. (Seriamente, cosa ci fai con un iPad credo non più supportato e solo 16 GB di archiviazione nel 2025? Boh.) E, mentre dice “Sono soddisfatto“, pone anche una domanda esistenziale: “Tutto bene grazie?“… allegando un proprio selfie. Non ho capito. ☠️
La foto, per di più, non capisco se è messa come dimostrazione della fotocamera del tablet, visto che non lo dice, o se è un suo vizio… visto che sul profilo ha un’altra recensione simile… per una tuta, che probabilmente indossava, ma solo da sotto, perché nemmeno si vede in foto… A-i-u-t-o. 🥴

OpenAI sta integrando sistemi di checkout direttamente dentro ChatGPT, in collaborazione con Shopify. Non si tratta più solo di ricevere consigli o confrontare prodotti: si potrà acquistare direttamente dalla chat, senza dover visitare il sito del venditore.
Ma la cosa impressionante è che chatGPT è già il quinto sito più visitato al mondo. (Fonte Ansa. it)
E Google ? Pur restando primo, è minacciato da un’interfaccia conversazionale che capisce cosa vuoi, ti consiglia e ti fa comprare, senza perdere tempo a cercare sul web. Internet come lo conosciamo sta velocemente cambiando.

Illustrazioni di Cristina Desideri
Introduzione
Istantanee è un’opera che nasce dall’urgenza di custodire e trasmettere memorie, voci e paesaggi interiori. Le parole di Donato Verrastro nella presentazione, ci conducono all’origine del percorso dell’autrice: dai banchi universitari alla costruzione di una voce letteraria radicata nella sua terra, la Basilicata, ma capace di elevarsi a dimensione universale. Nei racconti che compongono questo volume, l’intreccio fra storia personale, memorie collettive e riflessione sul tempo, diventa spazio di incontro tra psicologia e antropologia, letteratura e testimonianza.
Biografia dell’autrice
Piera Caivano è scrittrice, poetessa ed educatrice. La sua formazione universitaria a Salerno ha rappresentato il primo terreno in cui ha coltivato la vocazione all’insegnamento e alla narrazione. La sua produzione letteraria si è consolidata attraverso poesie, racconti e opere in cui la parola si fa strumento di resistenza e di appartenenza. Nei suoi testi è costante il legame con le radici, con la memoria dei luoghi del Sud, con la voce delle donne e con le tracce di una storia che si intreccia alla vita quotidiana. La Caivano appare, così, come “sentinella del tempo”, capace di restituire dignità a frammenti dimenticati, trasformandoli in narrazione esemplare.
Biografia dell’illustratrice
Ad accompagnare le parole, i disegni e la copertina sono affidati a Cristina Desideri, illustratrice e psicologa, che porta nel suo tratto una sensibilità duplice: estetica e conoscitiva. Le sue illustrazioni non sono meri ornamenti, ma aperture di senso. Con linee essenziali e suggestioni minimaliste, gli elementi grafici traducono le parole di Caivano in immagini interiori, restituendo al lettore uno spazio di riflessione visiva. La copertina, in particolare, diventa una soglia, un invito a entrare in un mondo di memorie intime e collettive: una figura femminile, voltata di spalle, avvolta in un abito che non è stoffa ma costellazione di punte di matite colorate. Ogni punta è una voce, ogni colore un’anima: insieme si intrecciano come fili di un coro silenzioso, dove l’arte diventa veste e la pluralità si fa poesia.
I racconti: memoria, psicologia e antropologia
I racconti di Istantanee sono fotografie dell’anima. Si muovono tra eventi della storia lucana – dal terremoto del 1980 alle migrazioni, dalle condizioni femminili alle difficoltà sociali – e riflessioni esistenziali, in cui il dolore, la perdita, la nostalgia e la speranza si intrecciano. La dimensione psicologica emerge nella rappresentazione degli stati emotivi che accompagnano la vita comunitaria: la malinconia come sentimento fondante, il bisogno di appartenenza, la resilienza delle donne, la forza dei legami familiari.
Dal punto di vista antropologico, i testi restituiscono la Basilicata come luogo simbolico: non solo contesto geografico, ma matrice culturale e identitaria. I riti domestici, gli oggetti, i paesaggi e le pratiche del mondo contadino diventano archetipi, che rimandano a dinamiche universali di sopravvivenza, resistenza e migrazione. La casa, costantemente evocata, rappresenta un porto sicuro, ma anche una metafora della memoria collettiva che custodisce radici e tradizioni.
Temi centrali della sua scrittura
1. Radici e appartenenza
Forte legame con la Basilicata: paesaggi, case, luoghi marginali diventano metafore di identità e resistenza.
Le radici come forza contro corrente che trattiene anche l’incontenibile.
2. Memoria e Storia collettiva
La scrittura intreccia la vita personale con gli eventi storici: terremoto del 1980, emigrazione, disastri ferroviari, condizione femminile, povertà.
Narrazione che unisce microstorie e macrostoria, trasformando eventi locali in esperienze universali.
3. Il gioco degli opposti
Presenza/assenza, pace/violenza, pazienza/rivolta.
Contrasti che producono emozione, nostalgia e riflessione.
4. Dimensione domestica
La casa come simbolo di sicurezza e continuità, legata alla famiglia.
Oggetti e simboli domestici evocano un tempo ancestrale, diventando porti sicuri della memoria.
5. Emigrazione e transnazionalità
Il migrare non è mai isolamento: esiste sempre un filo con la terra d’origine.
Lingua e memoria collettiva come eredità intergenerazionale.
6. Stile e tono emotivo
Scrittura segnata da malinconia e nostalgia.
Trasforma le vicende individuali in topoi universali, con un valore formativo ed educativo.
Il tempo del narrare diventa al tempo stesso strumento e metodo didattico.
Visione psicologica e simbolica
Ukeireru (accettazione): nel testo emerge la capacità di accogliere il dolore storico e personale trasformandolo in memoria condivisa.
Resilienza narrativa: la scrittura diventa strumento di elaborazione del lutto e di ricomposizione identitaria.
Nostalgia creativa: il filo nostalgico non paralizza, ma cuce insieme frammenti sparsi, trasformando il passato in occasione di crescita.
Casa come base sicura (in senso bowlbiano): luogo reale e simbolico che permette l’apertura al mondo senza perdere le radici.
Le illustrazioni: psicologia dello sguardo
I disegni di Cristina Desideri si collocano come veri e propri specchi emotivi: non cercano di riprodurre il reale, ma di evocarlo, restituendone l’essenza. La linearità delle forme e la scelta di un tratto sobrio e nitido creano spazi vuoti che il lettore riempie con il proprio vissuto. Psicologicamente, questa scelta grafica invita all’introspezione: il non detto e il non rappresentato diventano luoghi di proiezione personale, permettendo a chi legge di dialogare con la propria memoria. La copertina stessa, con il suo carattere evocativo, si pone come sintesi tra parola e immagine, memoria e identità.
Riflessione finale
Istantanee è più di una raccolta di racconti: è un’esperienza di attraversamento. La scrittura di Caivano, intrecciata alle illustrazioni di Desideri, costruisce un ponte tra memoria personale e collettiva, tra psicologia del ricordo e antropologia della cultura. Ogni pagina, ogni immagine, diventa un tassello di un mosaico che racconta non solo la Basilicata, ma l’umano universale: la fragilità, la resilienza, la nostalgia e la forza delle radici.
Il libro si configura dunque come un’opera di resistenza poetica, che invita il lettore a riflettere su cosa significhi appartenere, ricordare e tramandare.

Melting 12VHPWR Connector Claims its First AMD RX 9070 XT Victim
It appears as though AMD has also fallen prey to the melting 12VHPWR connector issues that plagued the NVIDIA RTX 4000 and 5000-series cards. Although very few AMD graphics card makers used the 12VHPWR connector for the Radeon RX 7000 series, adoption rates for the new connection standard increased with the release of the RX 9070 and 9070 XT. What appears to be first recorded instance of a melted 12VHPWR connector on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has been posted to the r/Radeon subreddit by a user who goes by u/Savings_Opportunity3.

La verità a volte si dimentica come i fazzoletti in tasca
"Al tempo del Covid, ho passato tre settimane in terapia intensiva, attaccato a una bombola d’ossigeno. Ho visto l’inferno nei pronto soccorso. Ho visto decine di ambulanze ferme nelle piazzole con i contagiati più gravi a bordo perché non c’erano più posti letto. Ho visto medici e infermieri combattere a mani nude contro un nemico ignoto e invisibile, con anticoagulanti e antivirali della Sars. Ho visto morire in solitudine vecchi, adulti della mia età, ragazzi più giovani. Ho visto pazienti in coma e intubati per giorni, alcuni volati via così, altri tornati alla vita con occhi allucinati.
Ricordo lo sgomento di quei giorni: già allora, mentre crescevano orrore e dolore, c’era chi dalla fogna social vaneggiava di grandi congiure, chi considerava farlocche le immagini dei camion militari che nella notte spettrale di Bergamo portavano via centinaia di bare."

And to continue my reply to your other comment, using libre office or an alternative won't have that rallying cry effect, since you're doing it on your own.
It sounds dumb but many people won't do what they believe is right if they're alone and if the alternative is easier.
Try to forget about the weird mascot choice. It's just a rallying cry.
I also don't really get why the clippy and he probably could have picked a better avatar for people to use.
The point is (I think) that people who know what it's about will feel the support of all these strangers sharing their view, and people who don't know might look it up and get sensibilized to the cause.
We don't discuss companies screwing us here but us screwing companies.

I agree with what you’re saying but you REALLY 100% write like an LLM
Edit: you are an LLM which is worse
I've interacted with k0e3 in the past, they're no LLM. Even then, a quick profile check shows it. But you didn't check it, right? Of course you didn't, it's easier to vomit assumptions and re-eat your own vomit, right?
And the comment's "tone" isn't even remotely close to typical LLM output dammit. LLMs avoid words like "bullshit", contracting "it is not" into "it's not" (instead of "it isn't"), or writing in first person. The only thing resembling LLM output is the em dash usage—but there are a thousand potential reasons for that.
(inb4 assumer claims I'm also an LLM because I just used an em dash and listed three items.)
He became famous for fixing computers, mostly Apple products, while complaining about how bad Apple Genius bars were, and how unfair Apple's business practices are. I can respect that, and it was good that someone was speaking up about it.
You'd expect someone like that to be pro-regulation, anti-monopoly, pro-union, etc. But, it does seem like his motivation is more libertarian, and that's what makes me worry.
Crazy thing is he also uploads to Odysee and paid to develop grayjay, I'm not even subscribed to his youtube channel and thanks to him I'm moving as many subs off the platform as possible. Quite a few creators upload all their shit to other platforms.
also if you're watching someone who advocates for adblockers without using one yourself that's on you.
He barely makes money off of these videos (negligible) and encourages all his users to use adblockers.
Given his target audience I'm sure he's at the lower end of the money paid per view. Also he could've taken a sponsorship on anyone of his hundreds of videos but he has not so far, so not really big $$$
Liking to hear himself rant is not a quality in my book..
I don't like the way he speaks but he's all (I should say mostly, I don't watch all of his videos) about consumer rights which ...
How can you not like that?
Sure his delivery method is not for everyone but listen through his salt-coated style and you'll find he brings up many important points.

On the other hand, seeing this symbol more and more on other random videos outside that bubble does give a very nice sense of "I am not alone". It does more for users to find eachother than it does damage to big corpos.
But choice of the symbol itself is questionable.. Why use a big tech symbol to protest big tech? -__-

It's mostly idiots who want to be part of something and some that "don't like" what is happening and "want" change but put in the least possible amount of effort pathetically to attempt to cause a change, and this only when someone popular suggests.
They never really want to stop using the product. It's like drug addicts trying to make drugs less addicting by "protesting" against the very thing they use (and will keep using) literally everyday.
Personally, I have more of a "I'm not alone" feeling when I actively leave services that I disagree with and through word of mouth find alternatives where I can talk to people who seem to have the same base values I do. Even if we disagree on other things.
It's the laziness of this initiative that drives me up a wall. People want change but they don't want to work for or sacrifice anything for it.
we can argue about the choice of symbol until the world ends. the symbol is just a thing people can recognise and rally around.
the first step of any movement is to gather people. then do something. so yes, changing a picture is lazy, but it is a virtual rally point. he talks about next steps in another video: odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/yo…
You Changed Your Profile to Clippy: Now What? 📎📎📎
https://fulu.org/newsletter/ & https://consumerrights.wikiOdysee
Good on him that he's actually planning on doing something more than just have ppl change their avatar. Maybe he should have put that in the original video instead of getting mad that people are calling him out for slacktivism.
Also, I have not argued the choice of symbol at any point. I don't care what image people put as their profile pic. What I was arguing was that it is weak to change your profile pic for a cause if you then keep using the products you're protesting against.
If he and the people joining his movement actually manage to make positive change, then I'm all for it. It just wasn't clear in his first video that he had ambitions to actively have laws changed. It sounded like he wanted people to change their pics that that would somehow make everybody rebel against their corporate overlords. If he didn't want people to think that was his movement, he should have elaborated in the same video instead of playing coy and splitting it up into two videos where he gets to call the critics of his movement apathetic idiots.
Good luck to him and those who join the movement. I hope they manage to make some changes.
sometimes you don't have to (or can't) have a full plan A-Z. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere - usually with gathering ppl. euromaidan is a great example of that.
but yes, louis could have put more concrete plans in his first video. as he has them. on the other hand he probably throws many things and sees what sticks. i guess that is what you have to do, if you try to change legislation against corpos with much more everything than you.
And that is fair. If he's the type to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks before he goes into making more detailed plans, then cool. But him sitting and getting pissy about people who criticized him and calling them names is a very unselfaware move. Of he's a throw shit at the wall guy, he has to deal with the fact that people can't read his mind and that he will have to clarify like an adult and talk to his critics with respect. If he can't handle valid criticism to his poorly communicated video, he should probably change tactics and not be a throw shit at the wall guy anymore.
Again, I wish him the best of luck with his movement as he seems to have the drive to actually getting things done. I just don't respect his attitude about the criticism he received.

Clippy symbolizes the attachment our generation has to the old state of software:
- you bought it? Then it runs offline for sure!
- nothing runs on background, except if you turn it on (Yes I never turned on Windows default protection on Win xp or win 7
- You bought? You own it, you format it, you don't pay for subscription, and there is practically nothing stopping you from modifying it if you go hacker.
On top of that Clippy looks cute. Personally I'm not participating in the movement since I'm not American, but imo the choice does make sense.
While I'm typing from Ubuntu, I only switched to Linux cuz I can't get back to the old state of win xp or win 7 that was perfect imo. While some are trying to convert people into Linux, others are trying to restore the corporate business to the old acceptable state.
Neither will succeed alone, and in fact those companies are using resources of your country to produce this shit, so it makes sense that you demand it to not suck that hard.

The real question is of course whether or not anyone is gonna do something past changing their profile pictures.
I give this trend a couple of months. Maximum a year and then a bunch of people will have clippy avatars and everything will go back to normal.
Something like Stop Killing Games was an initiative that only survived because one man dedicated a good portion of his life to get the issue brought before the eyes of actual politicians. Even before the pirate software drama, Ross had been talking about this issue for years and many people agreed, but nobody did anything except for Ross. Maybe the petition would have reached its goal without piratesoftware's initial meddling. Maybe it wouldn't. His subsequent sperging turned failure into success, but the issue is still in process to be reviewed and maybe it will be a win, maybe the lobbyists will shut it down. We don't know yet. But without Ross' stubbornness, nothing would be done.
Imagine if Ross had told gamers to change their profile pic to pacman to show game companies and consumers that "we dont agree with the companies' practices? That would be a total joke.
Obviously google, facebook etc. are not going to fall to the ground with tears in their eyes with this.
It won't?
Well, that clinches it: I'm out.
Nobody expects this to do anything, it's about signaling to others that there are likeminded people who don't tolerate bullshit like "random corp bricks consumers devices" anymore.
Pff. This reminds me of the This Is Bob protest against the forced Google+ accounts that were the beginning of youtube enshittification. It didn't do shit. Anyone who wants a profile on youtube nowadays has a Google account. Google+ may have failed but the intent and mission behind it didn't. Google has total control over anyone who wants to use YouTube now.
You can set clippy as your profile pic and feel like you have done something, but it's not gonna change anything.
If people want to actually do something, they should abandon these predatory services and go open source or maybe become anti tech as much as possible. It doesn't matter whether or not you signal to the Zuckerburgers on top how you feel if you're just gonna continue to use their products.
The only thing that would scare them would be the numbers plummeting if they saw a mass exodus from their platforms and services and people actively began looking for alternatives. But most people can't be fucked to do that because they are too enmeshed with these services that it is easier to stay. But putting clippy as your profile pic is super easy and costs you nothing so yay. You get to feel like you did something without actually sacrificing anything to make change and the Zuckerburgers will look at you and shrug. "Ah, the peasants are blowing off some steam again".
Sorry for being so negative, but this is honestly so fucking weak. I may have missed something, but when has slacktivism ever changed the minds of these companies?

Hey, don't you remember how changing your Twitter profile picture to have a green overlay encouraged the Arab Spring to bring lasting democracy all over the Middle East?!? /s
I do really think that one of the things we have to do as collective, is something somewhat impossible but,
We need to pick the things we really care about. Limit ourselves from the everything that we have been offered for so long and find what brings us joy specifically and start following and protecting that and doing it off the Internet, or at least the at large big players.
Find artists in our spaces locally that make the comedy, or comics, or stories, the developers that make their own games and movies that dont outsource their work to others so that it no longer feels like art.
We can still have globalised sharing and our spaces can support that by raising up the best of the best naturally through communication and sharing but not just by being told it's gonna be big or given to us easily.
The only way out feels like we as a collective need to start putting work into cultivating and tending to our fandoms and we cant be as greedy as it will take more work. Im fine with us being an insatiable species craving for more cause its how we don't stop, and i want new artists and new creators and new spaces. But i think we cant be lazy about it anymore. And i think doubly so we cant think we can do all of it.
Problem is that the majority of people are not going to do any of that because it takes work and people either don't want to let go of comforts, they don't care enough or they don't have the energy to be digital activists after they have finished a day of work.
It will probably only gain traction if it becomes the cool thing to do among young people and even then, it will most likely be a smaller number of young people who will bother doing all of this.
The rest will become really good at prompting their way through life because its easier, more comfortable and takes the least effort.
they don't have the energy to be digital activists after they have finished a day of work.
Good news! With the rate corporations are laying off and firing workers, pretty soon they will have plenty of time for activism.
/S
Yeah i mean that seems likely with how things are going but also things rarely go exactly to plan.
Im a realist so, i accept that it is entirely possible its gonna keep getting worse. I'm just also a sucker for optimism and maybe someday it will be better.
Probably not tomorrow or next year... Probably gonna be a lot more of this for a while.
Hold on to your optimism! We need people like you.
I consider myself a pessimistic optimist. Things probably aren't gonna happen the way we hoped, but we will adapt and make some lemonade with what we are given.
It's so rare that hyped movements go anywhere because the focus is always on the wrong things, but in the long term, if companies make it increasingly obnoxious to use their services, people will most likely silently make the move to open source through word of mouth. It isn't as sexy and bombastic as making clippy your avatar and doing armchair V for Vendetta protests, but it's through people's silent choices that change will gradually happen. Whether or not this change will be felt on a grand scale, I don't know. I also don't really care. I just believe that over time, more and more people will eventually turn their back on the big tech companies while the rest will stick around either out of indifference or ignorance and that is their right too.
Google+ may have failed but the intent and mission behind it didn't.
Google+ was Google's attempt to take on Facebook with its own social product. It definitely failed, and the intent and mission failed too. That isn't to say that they have no social data, but they definitely don't have access to the full social graph that Meta does.
It wasn't a complete failure. Before Google+ Google's various products were all siloed. Your data in gmail was in a different silo from you data from search, which was different from your data from Google Reader, etc. As part of the Google+ push, Google put out an EULA that basically said that it could share data from any google product you used with any other google product you used and it was one big unified account now. Thanks to that, they're able to target their ads based on much more data. But, they still wish they'd been able to get a Facebook competitor up and running so they could see more clearly who your friends and family were. There's so much interpersonal data they're missing out on.
The issue is what this even accomplishes.
Traction is indeed important. But people also get exhausted (how many folk were whinging about "first I needed to make my avatar a rainbow and now it needs to be black? Oh, you mean a black box. Whoopsie" back in 2020?). It is why "just do something, it doesn't matter what" is such a stupid fucking mentality because you waste the general good will towards pointless slacktivism and then people stop caring by the time you have an idea of how to utilize them.
Which... is where the Rossman comes in. I have a lot of issues with him as a human being but as an activist he is REALLY effective... for Right to Repair... for repair shops. But he has also made his career on convincing everyday people that he is fighting for them when he is really using them as ammunition for making sure his repair shop (that totally doesn't violate any labor laws...) can stay running because OBVIOUSLY this lobbyist movement to support activity that requires a full hotplate and high powered microscope is something that everyday consumers care about (sort of in the sense of having options, but at this scale the poison pill apple compliance is actually probably just as good, if not better, for consumers)
I haven't been able to even find a good explanation of what this is even supposed to accomplish. But, dime to a dollar, it is Rossman et al demonstrating how quickly he can mobilize The Internet as a negotiating tactic for whatever he and his lobbyist buddies are pushing on right now.
Im actually fine with "just do something" mentality.
Cause if every person did to the limit of what they are capable of things would still change.
For Rossman the limit of what he is capable of might be changing laws via his followers so he can keep his repair shop running. For others it might be legal efforts. For some it could be talking directly to their parents who are the wealthy overlords, and for some it might mean running themselves. And for some its just beinf oart of a chorus that shouts what they believe in.
It has worked for religion for so long.
We are a numbers species. We arent as clever as we think and individuals actually rarely get anything singularly done themselves. But we cant stop at whats easy but what is within our reach.
If everyone "did what they can" to make the world a better place, we just might have a shot at it.
We are a numbers species
And we only have power when we act in numbers towards a focused goal.
This is why we (should) have (more) Unions instead of just "Negotiate for yourself and everyone will benefit". And that, inherently, needs leaders who know how to work towards a shared purpose.
Everyone should work towards making the world a better place. But we also need to understand what we are actually working towards and what those "somethings" actually can accomplish.
Yeah. Agreed but chicken or the egg right?
It's easy to say we just need the unions and groups but we need to build them by people just starting.
We definitely need to pick people to lead us better and not lazily accept people saying they are the right person to lead simply because they are.
It helps when we have a shared idea of what better is.
youtube pfp to clippy ?
That would require having a YouTube/Google account, so no
Okay two things.
I didn't set my pfp to clippy mainly because I'm lazy and don't really comment on Youtube.
People complaining people are only doing this to follow a trend are completely right. BUT! some of those trend chasers might actually stop and think about the message, and might realized we're all being scammed by modern tech/software companies.
I ain't expecting some mass protest or anything, but it's at the very least a small handful more people giving a shit about their relationship with technology. As apposed to most who just throw their information and money at any sign-up page that asks.
I ain’t expecting some mass protest or anything
It's hard to tell really, when even PewDiePie is making videos about DeGoogling and switching to foss and Linux. You know how influential he is among gen z (or gen Alpha, I'm not really sure).
PM->DM was a mix of making it more obvious that those were NOT private in the slightest and to better align with marketing ("send a Direct Message to the celebrity you are stalking!")
I am not sure when "pfp" took over but I've noticed over the past 3 or 4 months a LOT of random requests for a DM on discord of people asking where I got my pfp... which is literally a screenshot from a cartoon in the 00s. So I assume this is related to selling avatars to people on the game social networks?

Facebook reveals news feed experiment to control emotions
Protests over secret study involving 689,000 users in which friends' postings were moved to influence moodsRobert Booth (The Guardian)
This was surfaced in Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book.
The social media company likewise tracked when adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."

No, simply because I've never commented on youtube, so it'd be pretty useless, if not counterproductive. Giving even more information about my political/tech ethics to Alphabet doesn't seem smart nor useful in my position. Also, I don't even watch youtube videos on their website now. I usually use invidious instances or newpipe.
But I'm not against people doing it, especially if the ultimate goal is spreading awareness and building a community of people with privacy oriented ideas.
Are you able to watch every video normally with invidious and newpipe on Desktop (Linux/Windows) ?
In my experience, yes. For desktop usage you can use invidious from browser and freetube [https://freetubeapp.io/] as external client/software (but I've never used Freetube so I can't comment on that). Newpipe is android only and I HIGHLY recommend it if you have Android.
The problem with invidious instances is that sometimes they get pretty laggy because of server overloads (I guess? honestly idk). You also don't have your account tailored recommendation, but in my experience you can jump around a lot, especially if your main interest are programming videos.
Another method I use is downloading the videos I'm interested into using JDownloader 2, but that's pretty extreme and I relied on this to combat my "algorithm addiction". Got fed up by it months ago, so I put my favourite channels on a RSS feeds and downloaded only the videos I was truly interested into. Usually downloading videos require way less bandwidth than streaming.

Nothing stands out very far regarding the negatives. I could speculate to a few things, though. He's not a Socialist. When the going got tough for him and his business he uprooted and moved out of NYC to Texas. I can't really think of anything else objectionable. I actually like him, though so I may be biased.
For the positives, he's helped drive a lot of the Right to Repair legislation in this country as he's reported a lot of discussions he's had with real legislators. He runs a website for mac product repair as a reference that also operates as a non-profit. He runs a daytime business repairing mac products that employs several other people. Generally he posts a lot to keep people up to date increasingly as an electronics-oriented influencer, but he used to post mac repair videos almost exclusively and he talked about having to navigate Apple's influence on regulating the second-hand market. He has also given platform to a number of other mac & electronic repair people.
To me he seems to talk-the-talk and walk-the-walk when it comes to Right to Repair, but like I said, I might be biased.
- he believes to be the morals authority
- the standards he is advocating for don't apply to him (for example fighting for open source just to release an app which isn't open source)
Why not simply go for a Reddit blackout
Well the whole reddit thing was just a bunch of volunteer mods. On the other hand, many YouTubers make a career out of the platform. Considering their livelihoods are at stake, and the vast number of YouTubers you would need to get on board to make google actually care? Organizing such a thing would be anything but simple.

Also the Reddit blackout did nothing. So I'm not why that's your reference point. Charging pfp would achieve exactly the same. Nothing.

I think the Reddit blackout did a lot, just not everything. I'm here on Lemmy because of it. Granted I'm still on Reddit as well, and Mastodon, and Xitter...
Just keep plugging along, and every little bit helps.

There's a lesson I learnt from playing team games: If your teammate makes a bad call that you disagree with, you should still follow them 100%. Going all-in on a questionable decision is almost always better than second guessing each other.
I think it applies here, and it's why right wingers and religions are so effective. They don't care if their arguments are flawed or their leader is a rapist, they're jumping into that fight every time.
Not an online gamer, but I heard a similar sentiment from a boss about 20 years ago. He told me "if you make a mistake one time, I got your back, but we'll speak in private and I'll counsel you. Make the mistake again, I'll let my pen do the talking. Make it a third time, you're off the team."
It escalates quickly, but his management style helped us learn from the mistakes. Sometimes the second time happened. But everyone was willing to go to war with this guy. I mean, proverbially. This was also a guy who would bring his grill to work and cook for everyone one weekend a month. Companies that say you're family, big red flag. A boss who walks the walk as well as talks the talk? Huge green flag.

Changing your profile picture to Clippy to me seems the same as boomers posting "I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION TO FACEBOOK".
Just delete your account and stop using it.

Those businesses give no flying fucks about signals you're angry; they only care about money. So unless you use the Clippy avatars to mobilise people and to hurt those businesses' revenues, it'll do nothing.
(For YouTube, this means to stop or at least reduce platform usage. After all its revenue comes from ads.)
Where's that mobilisation? *cricket noises*

Toxic politics and TikTok engagement in the 2024 U.S. election
What kinds of political content thrive on TikTok during an election year? Our analysis of 51,680 political videos from the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle reveals that toxic and partisan content consistently attracts more user engagement—despite ongoing moderation efforts. Posts about immigration and election fraud, in particular, draw high levels of toxicity and attention. While Republican-leaning videos tend to reach more viewers, Democratic-leaning ones generate more active interactions like comments and shares. As TikTok becomes an important news source for many young voters, these patterns raise questions about how algorithmic curation might amplify divisive narratives and reshape political discourse.
- This study offers one of the first empirical examinations of how partisanship, political toxicity, and topical focus—such as immigration, racism, and election fraud—shaped user engagement with TikTok videos during the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
- The analysis was drawn from 51,680 political videos on TikTok, using models adjusted for feed ranking, user behavior (author, music, posting time), and platform engagement metrics.
- The majority of videos analyzed (77%) were explicitly partisan and were associated with approximately twice the engagement of nonpartisan content. Republican-leaning videos received more views, while Democratic-leaning ones showed more interactions—measured by total likes, comments, and shares.
- Toxic videos were associated with 2.3% more interactions. Partisan content also tended to show higher engagement, with Democratic-leaning toxic videos linked to even higher interactions.
- Racism, antisemitism, and election fraud were among the most toxic topics, with toxicity defined as rude or disrespectful language. Toxic videos on elections (+1.3%) and immigration (+3.5%) received higher engagement.
- Toxicity and engagement levels changed after major political events. Following Trump’s conviction, videos with severe toxicity and sexual attacks saw an approximate 2% surge in interactions.
- Captions alone were weak predictors of partisanship and toxicity, but transcripts of the audio from the videos improved alignment with manual labels (68.2%) and had significantly more (56.2%) toxic content. These results highlight the limitations of surface-level text features and the need for multimodal analysis in political content detection.

Anybody who cares enough to confirm whatever stupid bullshit the AI probabilistically regurgitated without actual understanding.
What I really don't get is that there are in fact models that you can feed a document too and they will directly copy/paste quote relevant parts of that document in their reply complete with a little reference to the correct page. Basically a smarter ctrl-F function that can take sentences as input.
When that exists why is google using the probabilistic shit in their search?

Under terms of the agreement, the United States government will make an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, reflecting the confidence the Administration has in Intel to advance key national priorities and the critically important role the company plays in expanding the domestic semiconductor industry.The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program. Intel will continue to deliver on its Secure Enclave obligations and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering trusted and secure semiconductors to the U.S. Department of Defense.
