Am I dumb or does YouTube suck?
Youtube is actual trash and we have modern designers and businessmen to blame.

Google quietly removes net-zero carbon goal from website amid rapid power-hungry AI data center buildout — industry-first sustainability pledge moved to background amidst AI energy crisis
Consumers will take up the slack on climate change.
That would involve killing our rulers and the conpeople we keep electing.
It's the only way anything will change.

UnitedHealthcare CEO's alleged killer Luigi Mangione inspiring others toward violence, prosecutors say
That's a lie.
It's the disparity in wealth and rigged system that's inspiring people towards violence.

US flight attendants push to be paid when planes aren’t in the air: ‘Most of our passengers have no idea’
This is something where there is no excuse but greed.
The wages of flight attendants are a drop in the ocean compared to everything else for operating a plane.
As usual, they attack the ones who can't fight back.
HOWEVER: Since we're living in Shitworld where we love rewarding greed and sucking off our oppressors, this could easily result in higher profits for airlines. What they will try to do is pay flight attendants while planes aren't flying, but then charge customers significantly more and argue that it's to pay the flight attendants while pocketing the excess.

Why more and more people are tuning the news out: ‘Now I don’t have that anxiety’
I'm just tired of corporations and useful idiots getting to dictate what I get to see.
News outlets never show source material. It's always some dipshit telling me what to think.

Thanks.
It's my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you're not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn't be necessary.
Don't get me wrong, encryption is great even when it isn't necessary. For my demonstration purposes though, I chose not to include it.
I also believe it's possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that "we can't verify the authenticity of this website" warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.

What's your 'old person' trait?
I genuinely hate new things and most change at this point.
I don't think it's me getting old. I think I was raised differently than most of my peers and exposed to how previous generations actually fought for their rights instead of rolling over and taking it up the ass.
Most of my peers are dumb as shit and have no concept of how much businessmen are taking advantage of them. If someone tells them to buy something, they'll buy it.

I wish we lived in a society where we made fun of idiots for getting ripped off. There's just so many of them though that it's seen as normal and we're the weird ones if we don't go along with it.

That's unfortunately a dealbreaker for me. I have a free phone from some company I've never heard of and I don't plan on buying a new one. Hopefully we will see more progress on mobile operating systems in the coming years.

Everytime I try to start something with Linux I fail.
Docker is annoying as fuck. Don't blame yourself for not getting it to work.
Bottles is also annoying as fuck.
These two things aren't really a sign of your skill. The first one (docker) is unfortunately super prevalent these days because of memes and bandwagoning. It has its use, but it's also used in many places where it's not needed without providing a comparable means to run software without docker. It sucks how newbies who are just trying to get a program to work all of a sudden have to learn a bunch of docker bullshit. Just another layer of crap to make things harder to learn while the creators jerk themselves off.
Running Windows games on Linux will always be a pain in the ass because you're trying to run complicated, sometimes very old, software that straight up was not designed to be run on Linux! I've been doing it for years and it's still a pain in the ass. Some games only work with Lutris, some require very specific settings. It's all a mess and I don't ever expect a Windows game to work unless I've gotten it to work recently and played it a bunch.
It's not your fault. It's not Linux's fault. This is the price that we all collectively get to pay for not doing things right the first time.
In short, don't lose hope. You're doing fine.

The terrifying reality behind one of America’s fastest-growing dairy brands
Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk, so they're artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives.
Also, most people can't properly digest lactose. Only about 30% of the population has the enzyme required, and most of them are concentrated in Europe/North America.

I thought capitalism was supposed to provide options.
I was literally fed propaganda in American Public School about a "study" where capitalists chose what kind of soda they wanted, while communists just said "yes or no" because they viewed it all as just "soda."
I'm starting to realize just how stupid the average idiot american is. Being raised and told you're from the greatest country ever is deadly.
