Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


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.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Anyone know where else to find good tutorials and lectures?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Textbooks can be great. Somewhere around undergrad level they get way more helpful and interesting. Dunno why they suck so much throughout grade school.

Not youtube... only speaking from my own personal experience here.

Where else would you recommend finding video tutorials/lectures?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

MIT opencourseware is good if you can find a class for what you're interested in

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Isn't that just on YT?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I get it, your lifeblood is tutorials and lectures.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I get it. You’re being unhelpful and just venting. That’s pretty lame.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I'm just sharing my unpopular opinion. Like the subreddit suggests.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And being quite the prick about it in the process. Not sure that's what this "subreddit" is intended for.

As far as I am concerned you guys are the pricks. Making up any excuse to defend youtube to the bitter end.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YouTube as a platform isn't necessarily good, it's just the place where all the good content is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah we agree. YouTube is not good.

spoilerYou literally asked the same exact question

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ohhhhh, you're a troll. Sorry for wasting my time, then. I'll leave you be.
