On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

    It’s an eight-minute video (and it’s Louis Rossman, so there’s about fifteen minutes of dialogue in it – highly efficient!)

    Not to be rude, but you can afford to make time to watch the whole thing.

      Imagine asking a question and someone handing you 12 page essay and telling you to read it

      That’s what replying with a link to an 8-minute video is like lol

        I’ve read lengthy articles posted in response to questions before. Just depends on the complexity of the topic and whether I’m actually interested. Weird objection to have IMO.

          Right, because you know going in that you’re interested. Neither of you provided a description to let OP know if they’re even interested before they commit 8 minutes to a video that may or may not answer the question

          It’s not a huge deal or anything, your “not to be rude” line just made me laugh. I was at work and definitely could not afford the time

      No, I can’t.

      I refuse to waste 8 minutes listening to someone when I could read it in 2.

      I don’t watch fucking videos.

        Jokes aside, if your time is that important you’re probably also wasting it by browsing the fediverse. Good luck to you.

      It’s a Louis Rossman video, so it’s egotistical garbage.
