overview for TypicalHog

Absolutely. Bar none. Here's my config for downloading best quality YT videos (but works for other sites too) if anyone wants to base theirs on it: https://pastebin.com/ba9sFURT

The Internet Archive has been fending off DDoS attacks for days by TypicalHog in c/technology@lemmy.ml

They should release an app where people can donate a portion of their storage to be used for redundancy in case anything happens to the archive.

Google is feeling pretty pumped about a new way of showing you ads on YouTube by TypicalHog in c/privacy@lemmy.world

And I feel pretty pumped about blocking them.

YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' by TypicalHog in c/technology@lemmy.world

What if I paused a video to be able to read something from the paused frame and it's all covered by an ad?

Wake me up when they open source Windows 10/11.

AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products and Game Google With 'Parasite SEO' by TypicalHog in c/technology@beehaw.org

SEO disgusts me. On that topic I also hate when people in YT videos are begging for likes, subs ands comments to boost engagement and optimize their video in the algorithm. I get it, they are kinda forced to, but that's such a sad state of affairs.

Publicity stunt amount.

10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. by TypicalHog in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Non-landscape videos give me mental discomfort.

Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 by TypicalHog in c/technology@lemmy.world

Why would you send 240 million PCs to the landfill when you can install Linux on all of them?

I installed Windows 10 in a virtual machine...man, this is straight up dystopian. by TypicalHog in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 19 points 8 months ago

Absolutely disgusting! Literally the only reason why I still use Windows is the fact many games I play have anti-cheat spyware that doesn't work on Linux.

Ok, so, I crossposted the documentary “Four Horsemen 2012” to !documentaries@slrpnk.net and it got removed for not being “a solarpunk themed documentary” - all good, it was my mistake I didn’t check it’s a community for documentaries with a specific there/topic.

Then, I wake up to the message from the SAME PERSON (Five@slrpnk.net) removing the same documentary from !Documentaries@lemmy.world which I assume is a GENERAL PURPOSE instance for documentaries about all topics. Their reason was: “I’m going to remove this documentary out of solidarity for Ukraine” even tho the documentary had NOTHING to do with Ukraine and doesn’t even mention it ONCE! I’m super confused. The rules for this community don’t even say anything about certain documentaries being allowed or not. What is happening? Ideological censorship?
