I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it's focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

The best take on here. The reasonable one that still highlights how much better it is compared to other mainstream services

I'd like to highlight that there's been a recent PR that's added the licensing to several files

Gamers Nexus (another highly respected tech YouTuber) called out LTT for their mistakes and performances over the last few years, the overall point being that they're moving too fast and causing multiple mistakes in their content.

There's a current controversy with a company called Billet who gave LTT a custom water block to test and instead of testing it properly with the 3090 it was made for, they tried it with a 4090 card (and it obviously didn't work)

Linus doubled down on their results saying it wouldn't have mattered anyway because it's a rubbish product and no one should buy it (which came across very poorly, why even agree to test a product if you know your going to trash on it)

The whole situation specifically looks like it's triggered some upcoming changes in LMG and hopefully the outcome is better, more accurate video content

Yeah that's the most brazen part. They're more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren't taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the "free market" produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯

Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn't followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic

You're getting downvoted because you're spouting rubbish without actually providing any evidence, not because people are "transphobic".

Not every unfortunate action that happens to trans people can be attributed to people being "transphobic", like it's a coordinated attack

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah while I can understand why OP would be grumpy, their replies are coming off pretty poorly

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

I've raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.

Over the last few weeks he's be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.

I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there's been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I've been working on improvements)

Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don't think this was done maliciously, but I'll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don't want to touch these files myself)

 

The third party API changes come into effect tomorrow (1/7/2023) so now's a good time to either purge or edit your existing content.

There's still no guarantee that Reddit wont just revert your changes (which they've notably done to a few people so far), but at least editing your comments before you delete your account is one way you can let them know how dogshit their handling of this situation has been.

This thing was as easy as adding it to your bookmark bar on desktop, signing into old.reddit.com and pressing on it.

It's a shame to lose years of great posts and comments but with how poorly Reddit has engaged with the community over this, there's no point sticking around.

 

It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I'm finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I've got no idea when that'll become less reliable

adblock

 

Anyone here been using the CableMod angled high power connector? Anyone had any issues with it on their their end? Finally picked it up today, it looks like most of the melting issues are still from it not being seated correctly

 

I'm looking at getting kbin installed locally so I can make some UI / UX changes, but it's a different tech stack than I'm used to. Anyone here gotten it to run locally and can offer any advice on the difficulty involved?

I don't have a spare server so I'd be kind at getting it to run locally on my windows machine
