      It’s like a comedy routine.

      • “Question and no guessing or mistakes gemini”
      • “Confident answer that’s totally made up”
      • “Were you guessing or hallucinating in the last statement?”
      • “I apologize, you’re 100% correct that I was guessing”
      • “How do I get you to stop guessing”
      • “Use this code…”
      • Repeat endlessly

      I do think it comes up with some buried, interesting sources, but that’s about it. It’s like a 5 year old.

    The amount of bugs in the Youtube app has been crazy lately. They’re clearly relying heavily on vibecoding.

      Dude, so many times I have encountered bad software lately, and I always thought, some Idiot must have used LLM for this. And I don’t even know why. Everything that already was working good started breaking down for some reason. Why are devs wrecking their code base just to fix minor bugs?

      YouTube’s playlist shuffle feature has been broken for at least 11 years. I know this because I remember complaining about it in middle school.

      Maybe this is what sowed the first seed in my path to becoming a developer.

    Isn’t it unbelievable how multi-billion-dollar corporations push out updates that should never have been released, despite the warnings from their undoubtedly highly competent developers?

    That alone says everything you need to know about the times we live in…

    It seems we’ve reached the end of the road for hyper-capitalism.

      I mean why should they care? They continuously fuck people over, and they keep coming back. I would do the same at that point. #leave

        Yes, that’s true, because of the network effect. But you can still rest on your laurels as long as there’s no serious competition. Another motivation for PeerTube & Co.

        Regarding federated applications: I think they not only need content, but also have to become significantly more user-friendly to ever have a chance in the mainstream. It’s simply a reality that the average user doesn’t know the first thing about the applications they use—and, above all, that they never want to know. The essential and only “selling point” is and remains convenience—and even setting aside the lack of content, federated applications unfortunately can’t keep up. Not for technical reasons, but because the average internet user is such a complacent wimp.

          Yeah. “me me me, now now now”. And they get exactly what they deserve. Convenience, at any cost.

          But honestly it’s not even really convenient. It’s just accoutumance. Windows is the opposite of simple. Google is not simple (try to find anything in that google drive soup). iOS is terrible at doing anything other than giving Apple money. They are just used to it. That’s all. And I don’t think we should replicate any of this in the Fediverse. Because I’m a Fediverse user, I love how it is, and I DO NOT want to see it flooded by stupid flows taken from greedy useless silicon valley product managers. And if that’s what keeps Rando Joe from using the Fediverse, so be it. Maybe they’ll come later after getting fucked a bit too hard by big tech and realize that, yeah, maybe they can spend 10m learning something new, because fundamentaly, it’s better. We are building an alternative, not a replacement.

    I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)

    Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.

    I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable

    Is that a download button I see? If so that means the UI has been edited by a third party tool, and this can’t really be blamed on Google…
