Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question “And are you willing to give me that in writing?”

Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar “ITS A TRAP!”

LTT is tech content like Donut media is Automotive content. It’s edutainment at most.

I find it funny the amount of hate that LTT gets, it’s niche entertainment and you can watch it absolutely free anywhere in the world and Linus rejected a 9 figure sum to keep ownership of something he built, say that out loud… “He turned down over $100,000,000.” Yes they flog merch and have floatplane and all that bullshit but that’s how they stay independent.

You can take Donut and Motortrend as examples of how it all goes to shit. MT were YT only, then moved to their own paid streaming platform, then sold out to a network and told all their international subscribers to kick rocks because the network deal was more money.

Or the Donut route, where you get bought by venture capital who suck all the fun out of the job, try to monetise everything and wind up having all the talent leave and go start their own channels because they took a fun job and just made it a job.

I still maintain that I wouldnt be sad if the ringleaders of these operations started turning up in ditches.

I dont mind the subscription for the retro catalogue, but expand the fucking catalogue already. It shouldnt be as limited as it is.

I cant wait to jump on Amazon and order my net launcher.

Good breakdown.

Ive explained it to people as "On the grand scheme of entertainment, its insane and not very good. On the scale of “indie films made on a $0 budget” its better than it has any right to be and for what it is, which is an animated science fiction war movie with no dialogue made in an ex soviet country on a pc by one guy its a fucking masterpiece. "

Yeah, Ill just tell the whole suburb that they dont get any services from the city anymore. Not a problem champ.

Theres a newish neighbourhood near me with a high percentage of reasonably cashed up retired people… nice houses with 2 car garages on small blocks. Every other house has a caravan or a boat and they almost all park them on the street.

Some of the streets have been effectively reduced to one lane in both directions, sure its legal but its a giant pain in the balls to get around.

Theres a non-zero chance that Linus Sebastian just did something really dumb. LoL.

The Horny algorithm kicks in hard and fast.

If I want porn I watch porn, I dont give myself softcore blueballs. But sometimes when I’m dumbscrolling I’ll click on one and YT thinks I submitted a bulk order.

Yes, and?

Does anyone think that China is just full of the warm fuzzies and wants us all to hold hands, make smores and sing kumbaya? They are every bit after power as the US is to hold onto it.

I do wonder if its a help or a hinderance though.

If someone wanted to start a community they might actually do something to generate interest, nobody wants to put the effort in to build up a community that the mod can just ban them from or they look and go “Its not that theres nothing, theres just no interest.”

I think the problem is that theres a lot of niche communities created for an exodus from Reddit that didnt really happen.

If you search for a certain community and find that yeah it exists but nobody has posted there in 6 months…

You need to watch a movie.

The Martian. (Yes its fiction but still)

The man is injured and stranded on Mars, at every step of the way he identifies the biggest barrier to his survival and works the problem then moves onto the next one and works the problem. You dont have a giant insurmountable mountain of problems. They just look that way. Watch the movie, look at how hopeless it was when taken as a whole and then watch him knock his issues on the arse one at a time.

Then sit down and make a list, then pick one and work the problem.

This entire list is idiotic.

I dont use it, but did they bundle any other software in or add any features that would justify the use of the word “rebalancing” or is it just plain old fashioned corporate bullshit?

I dont care how you feel about rainbows and I’m sick of hearing from bigots.

Arent opinions fun. :)

“For the love of god”

Why do you people have to keep dragging religion into this?

Isnt that prety much what the 16gb a770 is.

If they glove up then scratch their face, those gloves are now contaminated.

Gloves are only good practice if you can lay in all the surrounding good practices and if you can do that then you can probably sort out good hand washing practice and the real world difference outside of a clean room or surgical theater is pretty much negligible.
