Discussing with @wirestyle22 how Linus Tech Tips has become a "Brand Name of Data Loss".
I watched one video and I was so confused at how these guys get millions of views. Seems to be a scam
It's the "Reality TV" of IT. They aren't IT guys, or they don't act like them on the show. They are just clueless people with technology showing how badly and foolish things can be done. It's like a big joke. For some reason, people watch it like it's "Keeping Up with Linus Tech Tips" to see what dumbassery they do today. I'm sure he's a bright guy who knows where his bread is buttered and gives all this insanely obviously bad advice because people like to watch train wrecks. No way he's as dumb as he pretends to be, he just knows how to get views. Good for him. No IT person should ever watch it, but for the ignorant masses, it's some surreal tech entertainment show.
This one is classic.

playing with tumblr for some reason???
um... why?
i have this fantasy that i could build a web site that i'd continue to build over time and that this would be accompanied with interest from people other than myself. and over time i'd accumulate some miniscule amount of admiration and respect from those that would have an interest in the site's topic.
I started with tumblr years ago, it was great, now it's become confusing.
i looked at that publii thing but as is usual for me these days, it didn't make sense either. says it's a desktop app, but i couldn't see how that then puts your content in the public realm?
