It's no slight to the zoomers either. Growing up as computers became more prevalent, I always assumed that the generation behind me would be hyper-competent in terms of programming, software dev, etc since they were going to be surrounded by the tech from birth. I didn't foresee functionality becoming SO abstracted that you don't have to have much system knowledge at all, even getting all the way through a CS degree.

yeah it's accessibility but the access was to your wallet and your data, not empowering users to understand and use computers. by trivializing everything they infantilize everyone.

I can get through to my folks with some analogizing because they actually used card catalogs and physical filing systems a million years ago, but the kids who have never seen a floppy disk don't have any of that to build on.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
