Yeah tesla is much worse. More pointing out that founders have so much more financial ties to their companies than regular employees that their actions become extensions of the company. Its why founders have to be much more careful of their behavior than even regular CEOs who a company can let go and claim to have gotten rid of the problem. Founders generally won’t give up their share of the company.
Same could be said of Tesla, but the profitability of the company provided funds for Elon to donate to who he wanted.
I don’t think business and founder separation is really possible.
This happens occasionally and have to be patient for a fix to come out. Sometimes takes a week or longer. During those times I just use freetube as a rss feed and use it to open videos on Firefox.
Pretty crazy amount of plugins I need to make default youtube palatable though like sponsorblock, dearrow, and blocktube. Freetube just simplifies it when it works.
Being able to actually leave behind big tech with Microsoft being one of the biggest ones with all the changes going on when it comes to things like privacy and getting your information sold is pretty huge for some people.
People have been tired of Microsoft since Windows 10 when even a clean install would have ads, and it went from a basic OS to one trying to get you to log into an account to funnel data from you.
At this point is kind of less about the games, but improvements to Linux and the attempt to make it more accessible for the average user who isn’t tech savvy that has people seeing Valve positively.
Tech channels get more scrutiny because their reputation lives and dies by how credible they are as opposed to being purely entertainment.
I trusted him less after he chose to stick with PIA after they got bought by Kape which is a company that had a history of distributing malware and adware
The issue is who he sold it to — the notorious creator of some pernicious data-huffing ad-ware, Crossrider. The UK-based company was cofounded by an ex-Israeli surveillance agent and a billionaire previously convicted of insider trading who was later named in the Panama Papers. It produced software which previously allowed third-party developers to hijack users’ browsers via malware injection, redirect traffic to advertisers and slurp up private data.
Why would I trust someone’s hardware and software opinions if that’s the sponsor they stuck with back then?
Never hears of Drew, but looks like he’s just a comedian? Not like his content is giving out product recommendations under the guise of being an expert who can be trusted.
LTT is an advertising channel to me. For their merch or sponsors. Modern day infomercials for people who are entertained by ads hosted by personalities.
Is this the first Avengers since Endgame? Been completely out of the loop when it comes to MCU last few years with the last MCU film I saw being No Way Home.
It worked for me. Comments never came back even years later and checking old comment links with gdpr files.
I think reddit has a limit on the amount of comments that can be viewed through your profile. So you won’t be able to delete everything in one go if you have thousands of comments.
You’ll have to do one run rewriting and then after deleting the comments it can. Then wait and do it a few days or a week later when the profiles repopulates it with the older batch of comments that weren’t available before.
I stayed away from the general popular subreddits that tend to populate /r/all preferring to stick to either hobbyist and tech related subs. I haven’t noticed much change when it comes to places like emulators or roms for example mainly going there to check the wiki and when myrient went down people backing it up and making Minerva.
So I guess if it is the general trash subs that the twitter crowd congregates along with news, the bots and stuff might be more apparent with it being about karma, trying to go viral, and manipulate what users see. But, the more resource oriented ones like Linux or buildapc still seem to be less affected with people there just trying to help out.
Old.reddit UI fills the entire width of the screen, and default view is compact. You see more of the feed at a glance without having to scroll as often. When it comes to comments more of it is displayed when it comes to nested comments before clicking.
New reddit takes up a lot of space. And clutters up the side with stuff like related posts when you check the comment section.
Another big one is reddit enhancement suite which lets you tag and block things only works on old.reddit.
There’s the proposed theory of 90% of the community are just lurkers, 9% contribute occasionally, and 1% contribute most of the content.
Might not seem like it doesn’t matter, but depends on who are the ones submitting most of the material to the site than lurkers.
If you want to rewrite your comments you should do it while you still have the chance with something like power delete suite, since it relies on old.reddit.
Best method in the past was getting GDPR files and doing it with shreddit, but getting api keys is hard now.
Episode 10 of Violet Evergarden is the only time I cried while watching anime.
They see their parenrs struggling and see what is possibly in store for them, and their parents may also not believe like previous generations that their kid is destined to be better off than them.
Not surprising if the parents accomplished what the generation before them thought was the key to success of getting educated and choosing the right career path. So they’ve already “succeeded” and hit the ceiling and see it wasn’t all they envisioned it to be and the job opportunities and salaries in relation to cost of living getting worse.
And the kids pick up on that.
I haven’t watch any MCU stuff for the last several years. I’m the type to want to see the stuff that happened before, but lost the motivation to do so. As a result, just been skipping all the MCU stuff post Endgame.
For people who do watch it there’s people who don’t care about having watched everything, and just hop in because it has their favorite super heroe.
But, for your case were you keeping up with MCU franchise leading up to Spider-Man? I wonder what percentage of viewers kept up with MCU and what percentage are hopping in to watch it despite not having kept up with the franchise for years.
I think people making I can make a better steam machine content might have also helped too.
Microsoft helped the most though with Windows 11 forcing tpm requirements, disliked UI changes, copilot, and increasing hardware costs.
Among non gamers I think the buy non US alternatives helped get those that would normally not give more niche tech stuff a try to also join in. Such as guides people would share with alternatives to emails, software, phones, messengers, and OS.
Many different motivating factors now from boycotts, global relations, affordability, and increased accessibility of Linux than in the past pushing some people that wouldn’t have changed if life were not as eventful as it has been the last couple of years.
I feel like I heard of more people switching after the Steam Deck, and then more after the forced expansion of copilot in Windows.
I haven’t heard much of ltt other than him trying Linux and not liking it. Kind of been more on the negative side until the Steam Machine. His attempts just seemed to end in disasters.
If youtubers are pointed to I think pewdiepie is the one with way more Linux influence given his bigger reach and going all in on it a long time ago as opposed to a recent stint of saying something good about it in passing due to the steam machine.
Um… Lecture lecture lecture.
I don’t know what youtube ads are like anymore. I ran away long ago when youtube went from putting ads in the front of videos and letting you skip after a few seconds to putting them in throughout the video.
I ran to newpipe when using it on my phone and never looked back. Also started the domino effect of making it easier to cut off usage of google account related services.
On my TV I use a minipc and use firefox with ublock origin.
And on iOS I think brave blocks youtube ads, and ublock is available for Safari now. I never bothered to install the youtube app on iOS.
Yeah, redlib is great. Can subscribe and filter subs without needing an account, and I think compact + wide setting looks better than default reddit with it looking closer to old.reddit layout without all the wasted side padding.
