When you play either of these videos it’s just a AI voice talking over someone just clicking around. The scripts are also so similar.
The internet is dying.
well … what would you like to know?
“Versus” videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage
Both are wonderful. I still recommend Fedora to most new users, but I decided to test drive CachyOS almost year ago and then never went back. Cachy is so cozy.
i love the two generic handsome white dudes, who the fuck sees that kind of guy and thinks “ah yes that’s the ideal source for computer advice” rather than “oh i’ve never seen those football teams before”
Yeah, if the person I’m watching isn’t a poorly dressed hobo vlogging himself strolling through the woods, it’s shit information.
I think they are just going with the meta that people tend to click on videos that have faces on the thumbnail. They were just lazy on what face they put on there.
Yeah this is a huge problem now. Ai generated bullshit has ruined YouTube and it was already ruined by too much garbage.
Imo, just try something out. Fedora has a live USB that you can use to try out drivers, look/feel, etc. See if it meets your needs.
CachyOS also has a live USB.
But I’d actually go a step further. Install both in a VM using their flagship DE. CachyOS’s installer actually comes with many different DEs and window managers, so you should be able to get the look and feel of many different setups there, too.
Internet is not dying, it is being murdered
Let’s hope places like Lemmy stay relevant, vivid and slop-proof.
I think it’s always going to be a migration from place to place. As people find genuine places to talk to each other industrialists will find a way to pollute and destroy it.
It’s been going to shit for years, but it is almost incomprehensible how quickly it has fallen in the last 6-12 months. If I try to find any review/comparison in an attempt to be a somewhat informed consumer, and it’s just all slop.
We need a browser extension with a whitelist for accounts that are either verified, or created before 2022. If the extension gets popular and people start buying old accounts to post spam on, then it would also need a blacklist for confirmed spammers.
😮💨
I would pay for this.
Short form videos are especially flooded with slop and AI voice summaries of movie plots and DIY hacks. Its depressing, but also I’d like to cut back on my mindless content watching and maybe this is the motivation I need.
Can’t wait for YouTube to fuck up media hosting for everyone because the ai they’ve been pushing is flooding their servers.
Truly, who could have seen this coming?
on the bright side: maybe peertube will actually take off
Youtube is already pretty bad anyways. Adding LLM tools and similar, as a local saying goes, is just a fart to who already shat him/herself.
If you’re wondering about Fedora vs CachyOS, it comes down to what you do on your PC. And what you’re used to.
If you want better “preconfiguration” for graphics stuff, CachyOS is the way to go. With Fedora you will end up referencing and maintaining a whole lot more yourself, while the CachyOS maintainers basically do all that maintinance and config optimization for you.
But Fedora might be better for a less GPU-focused “workstation” type system.
Generally, I’d look at the “style” and interests of distro maintainers. CachyOS is built by a collective of linux gaming/compute enthusiasts that snowballed into popularity, though it does inherit all the work from Arch. Fedora is a long standing workstation/server workhorse, a “pre release” for Red Hat enterprise linux.
Capitalism makes it worth it to setup an Agent and 50 new channels on YT that does nearly the same. It doesn’t matter how many people gets spammed as long as some views are amassed. It already happens in normal biz on all levels. All AI ‘slop’ is just Capitalist slop. Really, it’s only there to make money.
I find them annoying too, but unfortunately, AI accelerates the Capitalist enshittification we see everywhere…
I miss the days when making money from posting things on the Internet wasn’t really a (widespread) thing. In the earliest days of YouTube there was no partner program, everyone who uploaded anything there did so out of enthusiasm; if we still had that, maybe we’d have fewer videos overall, but no one would have a reason to post AI slop or other low-quality videos just for profit.
You are partially right. It sucks that the first 3 reviews are slop, but after that is mostly human stuff.

Also. You can use one of the third-party YouTube clients available for Linux to have more way to filter off content and ads (sadly It won’t filter off the Ai slop, at least for now). One of the most used is Piped.
I found this video thanks, it’s heavily focused on gaming though, which isn’t thaaaat important to me, but good to know.
