YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.

I've heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it's wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.

Nebula is great.

It's pretty funny to watch a quick "check out our extended content on Nebula" video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)

It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.

Nebula is terrific!

It does take some time to find everything. It's not (much of) an algorithm, so I just had to explore and start subscribing to things.

What? No! Thus could be anyone's party for any occasion.

My spouse said it was fine, and not to talk about it anymore.

Beautiful.

I'm finally catching on. Now the game is to try to guess which Golden Girl each line is from.

Find out in the next season of our campaign: "Survival in the Lands of Lava". DM weeps quietly.

Same!

Gene, his burger costume emitting a worrisome smell.

General Grievous, his delight in his greeting.

I have a feeling there's a beautiful day in the future when someone asks "Do all Star Trek fans have an uncanny knowledge of 'Golden Girls'?"

And I'll just say "It's a long story."

Somehow I keep being surprised that these brilliant lines are adapted from Golden Girls.

Boimler, his eye first fell on USS Titan's bridge.

I can't get over how the lines of dialog could be traded between Jett and Stamets, and would have a completely different vibe and delivery, but would still work.

because you probably don't know how software is built.

Oh shit. Nevermind then.

What I'm hearing is: I can replace saying "I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads" with "I host a part of the 'Deep Net'.

Sweet.

What do I do if adult tells me they want to play with hot wheels with me? I say yes.

Fuck yeah. Hot wheels are great.

I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can't go under water.

This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

We're not demanding submersible cars, we're just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

I'm confident that there's going to be a great deal of broken... everything...built with AI "assistance" during the next decade.

People forgetting that when you ran out of lives you used to have to go back to the start of the whole game.

We remember. It was bullshit back then. It's still bullshit now.

Edit: I beat many of those games on three lives. It was still some bullshit.

I can accept stupid decisions. I don't have to respect them.
