What if Paul Atreides wasn’t clairvoyant but was instead just very determined

I still think about how my Cuban former coworker pronounced Popeye the Sailor as poh-pee-yay

What do you think the word “titular” means?

Do note that this is in my “All” videos recommended feed, not just filtered for music

Here’s the full text of the disclaimer on the channel’s “About” tab as of present:

“Disclaimer:

Popsie Funk is a fictitious creation. The tracks are A.I. generated from lyrics and musical compositions that I have created. The A.I. samples are then mixed and edited by me.

I am adding this disclaimer due to repeated questions about the genuine authenticity of Popsie Funk and his music.

While being asked the same question dozens of times can be taxing, I take confusion as a huge compliment!

After all, if you can’t tell by ear that my music is A.I. generated, then I’m doing my job right!”

The channel owner directly states that it is their intention to mislead. I did see the disclaimer on the channel after looking up the “artist” and before making this post, but that disclaimer is not visible on the thumbnail preview and the video description omits any reference to it. The inclusion of the year in the video title as well as the hashtags all attempt to work their way into the feeds of those not in the know to convince them that it is legitimate.

The channels that are not upfront are even worse.

When I am using my phone as opposed to a desktop, I watch YouTube videos in the phone’s built-in browser so I can refresh the page to skip any ads before the video. I typically don’t have the patience after watching the video to open the YouTube app and wait for an ad to load and then wait to swipe the ad out of the way just to “Like” or “Dislike” the video. I may glimpse through the recommended page on the chance there is anything that I may have missed, or that may have been a surprise upload, or that may be adjacent to videos/channels that I’ve already watched and which may be of interest to me.

Conversely, I still need to make and receive important phone calls even though the vast majority of calls I receive are spam

What recourse would there be against perjury?

I had to look at the community rules to see what to do as well:

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

What is the protocol for when I don’t have enough data to assess how popular an opinion is and I want to spread and support it to make it more popular of an opinion?

There doesn’t currently seem to be a direct way to go about those search methods, as far as I’m aware.

The closest equivalent I know of to search by title:

• Go to the search page of the instance of your choosing (ex. https://lemmy.world/search, or https://lemm.ee/search). Larger instances will tend to be more useful for this since they are more likely to be aware of posts from any arbitrary instance; if you know that you want to search within a particular community, then searching on that community’s instance would yield all possible results, which could potentially not happen with a non-local instance search.

• Filter to search only posts. This will yield both posts with the term in the title as well as posts with the search term in their body text.

• Use your in-browser Find tool (ctrl+F for Windows, or Command+F for iOS desktop, or other methods with other OSs/devices) to search for the same search term on each page of results to highlight only the posts which have the term in their title.

There is not currently a flair system set in place for Lemmy. One workaround is adding the intended flair to the post title and following the aforementioned method for title search. This only works on posts for which the author has the flair in their post title, which typically is done with parenthesis or brackets before the title proper. I’ve attempted to implement/futureproof this on the [email protected] community for posts that I would want flaired as [MOC].

These filters that you’ve mentioned, as well as others, would be very useful to see on the fediverse in the future.
