Why is this being downvoted?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If I had to guess, it's because it's a click bait headline that offers nothing useful to people until they've committed to watching a video

Yea…I got lazy and just used the video’s title

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

Which part of the title is clickbait?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Everything. It doesn't accurately describe the issue (animation stutter when using an HDD or during heavy I/O) and it doesn't mention the solution (put the cache folder in tmpfs), plus it obviously follows the traditional sensationalist tone used in clickbait.

The point is to be deliberately vague to bait people into watching it.

Okay, but when I have the problem that my KDE is stuttering, I'm not searching for ".cache folder on Low-IOPS Drive causes my stuttering issue", because, yk, I'd have to know the solution for that. I'd probably search for "why does KDE stutter".

"Try this..." where "this" is intentionally vague until you click on the link is standard clickbait tactics...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not sure, but the tldr is try using a faster drive for you cache folder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I watched the video unlike some people

@tkk13909 @YamiYuki Because people like to do that, it gives them some sense of power that they really don't possess. I wouldn't care that much about it if I were you.
