Most make next to nothing and give up quickly. I don't see the option to give up on being under surveillance.

Dio can you hear me, I am lost and so alone.
I'm asking for your guidance, won't you come down from your throne?

Yeah, sucks doesn't it?

He's had to fill in with match footage because he lost access to the auction house guns after trying to set up that deal. He has access to a lot fewer old firearms these days.

Karl is still making videos, but Ian is not a part of IRTV anymore.

For sure, which is why I only use Mint anyway. I need my hand held. But Linus was doing power-user things without power-user reading. You can't really claim the car is no good when you opened the hood and started swapping hoses without checking to see what goes where.

Off the top of my head:

-Sold a bunch of merch that was comically oversized and left everyone stuck with unusable product.
-Tried to arrange a deal under the table on an auction gun he got a look at before it went up.
-Doesn't help his teammates reset stages when at a shooting competition.
-Failed to stand up for Karl when ARFCOM was making up lies about him.
-Failed to give IRTV credit for organizing a 2GAC match, when that's basically the only request they make for media.
-Took on Lucas Botkin as a sponsor.
-Copy-pasted brutality rules for his own spin-off match after falling out with Karl, and doing such a poor job he left in references to the venue or IRTV (I can't remember which).
-When asked why he was selling merch with a picture of himself that he hated, shrugged and said "money."
-Treats his wife more like "the help."
-Generally just thinks he's better than you and you don't deserve his respect.
-Abuses copyright takedown requests.
-Removes comments critical of him on his YouTube channel but claims doing so for other people was not possible (Karl, when ARFCOM happened).
-Has expressed deep distain for his own audience.

There's more but that's all I can remember right now.

Edit: I should say that he's generally pretty good at keeping this stuff out of the public eye, these are mostly only things you hear if you know the right people.

Forgotten Weapons: Used to have videos on very cool old guns with interesting historical backgrounds and whatever. Then he made a series of selfish decisions that demonstrated what kind of person he really was, and I no longer had any interest in even helping him through the algorithm.

I love guns, but... Bro... Don't do that.

Too bad about him, his passion for old electronics made me interested when I don't have any particular interest of my own.

Shad is constantly trying to get one over on his co-hosts to the point where it's difficult to watch. Always has to win. I liked learning about how castles worked a hundred times more.

Linus uninstalled his desktop after ignoring the warning that said °hey, this will uninstall your desktop.°

Yeah absolutely zero newbies are going to buy a new computer in order to test out Linux.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago

I use KdenLive on Mint whenever I need to edit a video. I've never bothered to look for the other two because I use Darktable and GIMP for my photo editing, but I can check to see if they're available if you want me to.

I mean, yeah, he needs to get that new hairstyle ASAP.

 

A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

 

Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They're up to about 175,000,000 trees so far.

Edit: This is just a convenient way to turn something you do every day (use a search engine) into a force for good. It's a slow process, 1 tree ≈ 45 searches, but you were going to make those searches anyway, might as well plant trees! Think of it as the digital equivalent of buying local food.
