Where Did All the Videos Go?

If have watched my channel for a while, you may have noticed that throughout the last few weeks, I've been posting fewer videos. For quite a while, I was an almost "everyday" poster. In fact, for almost 8 months I did do that, and for the better part of 2 and a half years, I posted 5 to 6 times a week. 

After I had COVID back in March, my channel was nearly dead in terms of growth. Taking two weeks off or I guess closer to three, wasn't something that the YouTube algorithm enjoyed....

Patreon Payment Issues - IMPORTANT!

It seems Patreon is having some issues where people who subscribe to creators are having their payments flagged as fraud by their banks. People seem to think that this is because of the location change that Patreon went through (from the US to Ireland.).

I didn't see any cancellations on my end, but if you guys see anything going wonky on your end, know that Patreon is eff'd up right now. 

I may look into some other platform, though I won't be leaving Patreon unless this gets...

YouTube Bit Me

This past week (as I am writing this) I came the closest I have ever come to quitting YouTube. I know that sounds shocking, but it's true. I was honestly so frustrated. It isn't as if I do this for a living, so I don't have to do it. I make content for fun. Any money I make is extra and very nice, but not something I need to live on.

So what happened?

I made a video about the end of my VM experiment. Over the last few months, I've been doing most of my work in a VM environment, ho...

The Streamdeck is Pretty Awesome!

I've always kind of wanted a Stream Deck (yes, Stream, not Steam). You know, those little boxes that sit on streamers' desks that have a lot of buttons on them? They always looked *awesome*. But I'm not a streamer, never have been, really. Even once we started doing the podcast live, I didn't consider myself enough of a streamer to justify the purchase.

Then I found one on sale and I heard from one of my favorite Linux pods that there was a program that allowed you to use a Steam Deck o...

Maybe I Like Plasma Again?

I May Like Plasma

First off, it has only been a day, so I may change my mind about Plasma in the next few minutes (it has been known to happen), but as of right now, I may *like* KDE Plasma again.

I've recently moved to Debian as my daily driver, after a week of the Linux gods hating on me (see the patron-only podcast this week for more info there). And during installation, like I always do, I look lustfully at XFCE, and then in true masochist style, I install something else, desp...

Begging for Likes

There was a Twitter thread a few days ago from some people who work at YouTube, and in that thread, it came out that likes on Videos are more important than watch time, which is what all of us have been told for *years*. Of course, we all knew likes were important, but watch duration was always supposed to be the king metric in whether or not your video got picked by the algorithm. 

But apparently, likes are the most important thing. Dislikes are even counted, but are negative, whi...
