exactly! its not so much that the algo is skewed against us (although...), but mostly the content it has available to it and our lizard brains in general that arn't helping. (or rather out desire to win the popularity contest and thus manipulate it in a way the algo is sensitive to). Because 90% of the 'pretty girl' videos wouldn't have these stereotypical clickbait dames in them if it didn't work in the first place

agree, I do have some other things in my feed, but I'd definitely say the algorithm has certain preferences.

Probably has to do with most of my interests being pretty nice compared to 'ooh pretty girl'. So when it compares what I click on it's easier to find high frequency recommendations based on other peoples likes. I know fuck all about the algo that makes feeds, but my guess is that's how it works.

You're pretty much describing the process i went trough, with some altered details. Power outage fried my HDD, ended up replacing it. Suddenly monitor doesn't work after reconnecting it. Tried the DP cable i had lying around, tried the 2nd HDMI port, both with the same HDMI cable and a different one. Tried a different monitor. (i don't have a 2nd system I could hook my monitor to, but at this point I'm fairly sure it has to do with the HDMI port of the GPU which I simply don't have the funds to replace... Might have a guy look at it, maby he knows something I don't)

maby I should have googled '/s' first... :') At least we now know 31 is NOT the charm.

[-] Horrible_Goblin@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Nah :'), at least not the first 30 or so times i tried. Maby 31 is the charm.

it has power. I can use the buttons to select the channel. The only place where my pc seems to recognise it is in the monitor selection screen of my gpu drivers.... i cant select it there. Not sure if it recognises the monitor or if its just a ghost from having previously recognised it.

Edit: a different hdmi monitor or cable give the same result. "no Signal"

Oh, yeah that fixed it!

I -was- going to find a community who might help me with my problem, but then I found this place and it's obviously much more constructive to bitch about it than to actually try to fix it. Shame on me for not seeing that right away.

So my HDD died on me, and after some fussing around I ordered a shiny new replacement. So after waiting for the mailman like a proper doggo, I installed my shiny new toy, booted my pc and... on of my monitors now doesn't work.

I don't know why. I tried a new hdmi-cable, I tried a new monitor. my 2nd monitor works perfectly. I updated my drivers and tried a handstand. nothing. For the rest my pc works fine. The new hard disk works like a charm. But why doesn't my monitor work? If I fix it, will my mouse stop working?

I will still chill and play games tonight, but I will be mildly furiously staring at the black screen next to it every chance i get.

"My favorite game" "My second favorite game" "My third favorite game" "One must not look a gift horse in the mouth"

[-] Horrible_Goblin@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Its a little more convoluted than I'd like. I Should really merge things like Meh/ Package deal/Discontinued/kinda done though

[-] Horrible_Goblin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Didn't even know I could do that :') thanks

I'll come back to this when I sorted them... although I really do like your system.
