  • Dave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival

    Jump

  • "It’s easier to talk here than it is in America,"

    Yeah, as long as you don't say anything about the imprisonments and murders without fair trial, religious intolerance, or make fun of the kings Mu'umu'u.

  • Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid

    Jump

  • Or his views on seemingly eating toe nails right off of his feet in public.

  • Donald Trump Threatens to Sue ABC Over Jimmy Kimmel's Return

    Jump

  • Sue for hurting his fragile fefe's.

  • Jesse Watters Makes Fox Co-Hosts Cringe With Revenge Plan Against U.N.

    Jump

  • Idiots. That's some DPRK state media level dystopia. But then again, it is Fox.

  • It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy

    Jump

  • Pretty sure technically it was never a democracy in the textbook definition meaning. It is/was a republic.

  • 'Groundswell' for Kimmel return after 'cancel Disney+' blows up online: insider

    Jump

  • I don't want to see Kimmel come back as if nothing happened. I want to see him find a new platform and farm the stupidity of Disney, Sinclair, etc for gold for the next few months. What Disney and co. did was not some stupid PR misstep, they let the mask slip on how easily they would fall in line behind a political pay master to keep him happy and in the process effectively violate the 1st amendment by giving the government a method of silencing speech. Which should be the kind of thing that burns the whole corporation to the ground and gets those in charge ostracized from polite society.

    There should be no coming back for them from this.

  • Why the video of Charlie Kirk being shot was kept on social media platforms

    Jump

  • I think what gets people about this one is the large amount of blood that comes from severing a major artery like that and it funneling out through such a focused point followed by how quickly he reacts, goes into shock, then goes limp.

    Most gore people get to see, even the real stuff, is much more initially destructive. So the blood goes everywhere all at once and there is very little time or ability to see the immediate reaction of the injured person.

    For me, most of the worst stuff I've seen that is not tv/movie make believe that was the most unsettling had very little gore in the traditional sense. It was the reaction of the person that got injured that made it unsettling and the slow realization they make of what happened and is currently happening. There is a much more calm yet panicked tone to it than someone getting ran over by a tank or their head cut off by a terrorist.

  • Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

    Jump

  • Pizza and Tacos

  • TIL about Dunning Kruger Effect - why people with low competence overestimate and people with high competence underestimate themselves.

    Jump

  • A mindset I just fell into as a much younger man for reasons I no longer remember was assuming everyone knew more than I did and did things the way they did them for a reason. And I should learn what that reason is before I go proposing changes.

    That mindset has never steered me wrong. Even when I change something someone else put in place what I come up with is a better solution for taking the time to understand why the previous person did it the way that they did.

  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

    Jump

  • Broadly maybe the viewers are just getting sick of all of the shilling for cheap shit that goes on with the ever increasing sponsor segments so many channels have these days. Arguments will be had about just how needed all of those marketing dollars are for the creator to keep doing their thing vs them getting used to a lot of money and wanting even more of it. But the end result is a worse viewing experience for the consumer. I know there are a lot of channels that make good content that I've stopped watching because they spend a quarter of the video shilling junk. Sure sponserblock would get rid of those sections, but it won't send a message like unsubscribing and stopping watching them completely will.

    Also maybe this is a larger Youtube usage hit due to their aggressive anti-adblock nonsense and uptick in ads and shitty UI design.

    For Linus specifically, he has the above issues as well as having been very publicly outed as a slimy deuce. What his channels put out is not unique enough these days to justify dealing with the shilling and his companies bad behavior.

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Another possibility for why consumers don't seem to care about 8k is the common practice by content owners and streaming services charging more for access to 4k over 1080p.

    Normalizing that practice invites the consumer to more closely scrutinize the probable cost of something better than 4k compared to the probable return.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • These are the most supported devices, maintained by at least 2 people and have the functions you expect from the device running its normal OS, such as calling on a phone, working audio, and a functional UI.

    If the above is where we are at still with PostmarketOS, it will be a decade or more before it is anything more than a curiosity. The table stakes of what people, even us tech nerds, expect from a smartphone fit for daily use is so much more than "it can make phones calls and the UI works" it is not even funny.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • Don't worry as the current OEMs continue to lock down bootloaders and lock required drivers behind copyright and other restrictive licensing schemes they will ensure nice things like PostmarketOS at best remain fringe and never able to replace modern phones for daily usage.

  • The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software

    Jump

  • Still using Android 11? Holy hell.

  • Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form]

    Jump

  • What has happened with mobile platforms has proven that the fact that we ended up with PC platforms that allow us the freedom to largely do whatever we want with them was more an outlier than the norm.

    Apple and Google have gone out of their way at every step with their new platforms over the last 20 years to make sure that process does not repeat itself. Even the stuff that seems more open like Android technically supporting arbitrary app installs from anywhere and the Linux container in ChromeOS still allows the platform holder to step in and stop you from doing something with those tools should they desire using mechanisms that the OS depends on to be useful.

  • Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus

    Jump

  • The actual title of the video is:

    Our GPU Black Market Documentary Has Been Taken Down by Bloomberg

    Way less Click Bait sounding. And while a shitty thing for Bloomberg to do it is not any different than what tons of channels have been dealing with for years. So the Youtube sky is not falling any faster now than it was last week.

  • LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

    Jump

  • Are you being dense on purpose? I said you could absolutely do it, but it was far more inconvenient.

  • Why LLMs can't really build software

    Jump

  • I tried feeding ChatGPT a Terraform codebase once and asked it to produce an architecture diagram of what the code base would deploy to AWS.

    It got most of the little blocks right for the services that would get touched. But the layout and traffic direction flow between services was nonsensical.

    Truth be told it did do a better job than I thought it would initially.
