I recently stumbled upon a small channel called KVN AUST, who's been making videos about what he calls "YouTube's Recycle Bin". It's about this and SO many other search terms (over a hundred), that turn up videos that have been public for over a decade often without a single view. It's so fascinating to see the random things people have uploaded.

It's stupid that my YT front page is simply empty, because "Your watch history is off", when it could simply be filled with a random selection of videos.

These days it feels like people have simply forgotten that you could also just have a bare repository on a VPS and use it over ssh.

Is HN "deeply imperialistic and super shit" too? Or is it okay because there's no option to set a display name?

Instead of "free communication" I would say "free large public social media", because without going all DPRK, there's no stopping people from using the internet, a means of free communication.

One day they'll fly to a drone factory, eliminate all the personnel, then start gently shooting at the machinery to create more weaponized drones and then it's all over before you know it!
