From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

New gens are ruining everything - "vertical video" gen-z, really?
Y'all need a spanking.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Those gen y and x ages are whack

Also, I hate zoomers and their vertical videos too

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

Yeah, idk what tf those age brackets are, it's like they haven't updated them since they first set up the graphics for the statistics.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yep totally agree. And I also like boobies.

[–] JustEnoughDucks 19 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I'm sorry. There are people who go to an adult hardcore porn site and then type in "Suitable for work"??? Like do you think the site wouldn't get flagged at your work?

[–] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

HR: IT detected that you watch porn at work.

Employee: I’m not, it’s all SFW videos

HR: OK, no problem then.

Maybe they're just hoping to find a sexy fuckable whore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

If a step-coworker gets stuck it better not be physically or it's NSFW. If it isn't physical, they just get fired bcs their ass isn't doing the job.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Idk, I saw a post on pornhub stats on I believe a map community that showed that cuddles were quite a popular tag. And if it's wholesome and comfy looking why not?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.

[–] dzsimbo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I'd say it's at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.

[–] Vinstaal0 1 points 4 days ago

Same here, but it also depends per country since well average life spans, average age to buy a house, average age to start a family etc all have an impact on when a new generation starts.

Vertical video is better for content focused on a single standing performer, because it allows as much of the screen resolution as possible to show the body. Horizontal is better for a performer lying down or any traditional horizontal sex acts, for the same reason.

I'm probably reading a little too far into this, but IMO Gen Z is much less interested in "simulations" of intercourse and is more interested in something "real", i.e someone doing a dance. Intercourse feels like a fantasy, like you're supposed to imagine that you're the one having intercourse, it's that fantasy which is appealing. Something like dancing or dirty talking is more honest about what it is, since a video of someone dancing or talking is essentially the same experience as if they were actually there in front of you. I believe that because Gen Z is more digitally native than older generations, they see digital content not as a substitute or fantasy for a real thing, but rather as a real thing in itself, and the nature of the content they consume reflects that. Another example of this is the shift from real-life streamers who fake personalities but pretend that they are presenting their real selves, to vtubers - who implicitly acknowledge that they are playing a fictional character for their stream as symbolized by their avatars. The human streamers are a fantasy substitute for a real human friend, but with a vtuber the content does not pretend to be different than what it actually is - a pretend character putting on a show for your enjoyment. By acknowledging its artificiality and integrating it into the content itself, it shifts from being something "fake" and "simulated" to being something "real". To me it's the exact same dynamic manifesting in a different area.

Now of course, I do understand that vertical content also simply means you don't need to rotate your phone, and that Gen Z is almost exclusively using the Internet on the phone vs. the desktop as older generations will. But this too is essentially a reflection of the feeling that digital content is not an artificial recreation confined to a specific display area (a TV or computer) but rather perpetually available (your phone), as would be appropriate for something which has taken on the status of being real rather than fake. The two forces reinforce each other, imo.

Is that supposed to be they watch videos in vertical...or they get off on watching vertical videos?

"Oh yeah, tilt that camera. Tilt it harder. There we go. Oh yeah! It's standing straight up."

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Kinda bummed they grouped the fetish all in one category. Thought we were getting weird here

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

... is it possible that these uneducated plebeians just put "fetish" in the search?

(jk)

[–] Chocobofangirl@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

maybe they're looking for new ones lol

[–] amda 6 points 4 days ago

I'm sorry about my generation. Pretty ashamed about the vertical video thing

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'm somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).

Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

who-did-this We don't even look at porn on our computer anymore- we look at it on our phone?

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

...at a quick glance-scan, i though that third row under gen X read 'starfleet': did a double-take and was disappointed...

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Who doesn't like a uniformed threesome between two dudes and a flower, or android/ghost/green lady sex, or just a speedrun to ejecting the core?
