  • Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus

    Jump

  • I’m actually on your side. I was bringing up those questions to question why they would get upset with be gently applying clickbait label.

    Usually fans of these channels fall in line with the rhetoric.

    But once again, I tried a conversation style that failed when I didn’t get a response from who I was talking to, and I got downvotes.

  • Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

  • He has a huge bias against Macs. I suspect you won’t be receptive to that idea.

    There’s a general sense of consoles and other devices being beneath the channel. Little comments often surface during news segments that touch on them. It’s not that they don’t acknowledge them.

    And with how shitty Microsoft is, you’d think they would be more even handed about the whole thing.

    But this is filtered though my sensitive ears because I came up with Mac gaming and console gaming, and I’m sensitive to when people are dismissive of other options. The same thing use to happen to Linux until the Steam Deck and associated software support from valve forced people out of treating all Linux gaming as an afterthought.

    Edit: use your words guys. The downvotes are nonsense.

  • Is the number of Lemmy users increasing?

  • I answered your question about the similarities man. Settle down. You asked any and I gave you it. You didn’t ask for how it’s exactly like email.

    Also, I think tech nerds tend to look down on others in this topic. “It’s too difficult, it’s too much to learn.” —- and thus it won’t be profitable? What are we worried about?

    Activity pub and related networks didn’t just shrivel up and die right away due to this problem. I’m arguing with a stranger on the internet via a newer activity pub platform, in fact.

  • On one hand, yes. Totally. Just like the Roblox vigilante stuff and the SKG stuff, etc.

    But this video and those examples are connected to larger systemic issues in the world and in the tech industry. It’s not just YouTuber beefs or relationship drama.

  • I sympathize with Steve and how he is, and how he goes about explaining things. And the style of making sharp points.

    But he’s also flawed, and knows how to play the content game. This is nearly just clickbait. And they flew across the country in service of his style of rhetoric.

    I honestly wish more people with audiences were just as pedantic and critical as he is. But he also has his own set of biases in the computer landscape. He is still a Gamer after all.

    1. Domain + Username
    2. email is also very flawed (think spam, and spoofing, etc)
    3. its federated
    4. people usually just pick one of the big platforms, but there are other options.
    5. email servers get banned from interoperating with the network all the time

    The comparisons could go on. I’m sure there are contrasts too. But email is a point of reference most people know about. Unless they don’t have an email address. I guess.

  • Well, it is gauche.

  • 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene

    Jump

  • I’m sure they are expressing repressed political speech there because the country they live in represses the traditional web. Maybe the UK.

  • 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene

    Jump

  • Coming back to this thread later, I’m surprised that it’s mostly being negative regarding 4chan.

    I’m use to people defending it when it comes up. Even defending it to my face in synchronous spaces online. The dissonance always weirded me out.

    It’s good to see.

  • Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

    Jump

  • I have a garage. And it’s one of the ones that barely fits a standard sized car.

    It’s also full of stuff due to the house being super tiny too. The house has zero closets, no basement, single floor. It’s apartment sized, basically.

    It’s a small town, the house is 100+ years old from what I understand.

    So you’re saying for the purposes of this article that most people live outside of cities in the US? And space shouldn’t be an issue? I’m not sure what your meme is about here.

  • The first seasons that had ongoing story arcs were great IMO. But I’m also someone who hates/hated early south park.

  • That must be extremely frustrating internally at MS.

    Edit: why does this get a downvote? I guess Microsoft employees are ecstatic?
