This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.
A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.
Find me on Mastodon, if you want.

I hate them too.
I come to news sites to read articles, not watch videos. If I wanted to watch videos I would go to YouTube. It’s as simple as that.
Making them autoplay is just adding insult to injury (as well as wasting bandwidth for literally no reason).
Let’s do some napkin maths while we think how much energy has been wasted by autoplaying a video for every visitor.
If I were to guess, the video player pre-caches a few seconds of content, maybe up to 10. That’s a fair few MB worth of reasonable quality video/audio data. Now multiply that for every single visitor. That’s a lot of wasted energy. The page itself is likely ~1MB in size (at least you’d hope), so they’re potentially increasing their costs by an order of magnitude by having the videos autoplay.
It’s monumentally stupid.
What would be the purpose of connecting such a list to the fediverse?
Verified accounts only
With the prevalence of generative AI, it’s becoming more and more difficult to trust an image (and soon videos will follow), so how will people verify themselves? Not many people will want to hand over their government-issued ID to a random company.
Even if that wasn’t an issue, how would the service survive? What would be the monetisation strategy (assuming good will)?
I am a software developer and gamer who lives in his mother’s basement and watches anime.
In my defense: I am in the process of buying my own house, I practice good hygiene, and I do have a social life (unlike a stereotypical basement-dweller). I have no excuse for the anime, that’s on me.
That’s easy: getRandomBoolean()
Sure, it might be wrong sometimes, but we can just blame it on the September 2021 training cutoff.
I had that moment when learning to code. I had like 98% or what I needed to know. Then one day I came across some random SO post, learned something that I really should have learned a while ago (the difference between static classes and instantiated classes, yes really) and then everything just fell into place and I realised I could actually write proper code now. It was a fun moment :)
And especially “alot”.
Oh man, the Samson Go mic was my first ever microphone. I loved that thing!
Nope.
I mean the movie, I’m not just refusing to answer. If you don’t already know what it’s about, it does an incredibly good job of making you curious as to what the fuck is going on.
Also, it’s just a banger with lots of attention to detail. Highly recommended.
Same here, to a certain extent.
I was referring only to Linux’s lack of bullshittery in comparison to Windows, nothing else.
Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.
Logitech G203 is the cheapest mouse with a “perfect sensor” that I’ve yet to find. Only ~£25 new on Amazon.
Fantastic value.
(for what makes a “perfect sensor”, I use sensor.fyi)
Do we have a c/LostLemmimgs yet?
If not, this could be the inaugural post.
What if he picked the lump sum and received a giant lump of coal worth £5000
CloudFlare R2 is S3-compatible with no egress fees, which would be useful for video hosting. They have a reasonable free tier as well, so you could try it out beforehand.
I just looked and they have a paid tier for $10/mo that removes the free limits and includes 500GB of cloud storage.
Try resizing your browser window. Youll notice that the content reflows very slowly, and that youll often see giant ugly black bars. This is a pretty bad user experience for people who resize their windows often. That alone is not enough to warrant a rewrite of anything though, so thats why it hasn’t been fixed yet.
The only other reliable video host I know about is Streamable, but I’ve never looked at their privacy policy so it may be just another YouTube. Might be worth a look though?
Yes, that’s the entire point. They promote STEM topics to their own youth and funny silly brain-numbing dances to their political opponents.
In a number of years, China’s workforce will be scientists and engineers while the US will be full of influencers and microcelebrities who provide very little actual value.
They’re playing the long game.
