If Linus was his own boss he'd have fired himself.

A $100million dollar company should be able to reclaim that property even if it means paying through the nose to get it back to the rightful owner. Losing a mass production GPU is one thing, that can be fixed with a check. A one of a kind prototype though? And who would make the decision to give something like that away, especially without consent? Things like that should come with a letter of endorsement of the charity sale, or at least have a (year plus) pause before just giving it away.

So is it just me or did anyone else notice how the tone of LTT videos changed after Linus stepped down from CEO? Everything seems to be on rails with 'uncanny valley's levels of scripting.

I get it, production quality and writing getting 'better' but it feels like it's being forced whereas before things were more ad-lib. You can see pretty clearly the difference in tone between the podcast and their videos... Not sure how to reconcile the two of if there really is a need... But it has been bothering me lately. They went through a similar stage a few years ago where their style really bothered me, and then it got better... so maybe it's more the writing/direction than anything else which can change depending on who is working on a particular video.

Edit: I just got through this video and, yeah... A lot of their reporting errors seem concerning, if anything not because there are particular errors here and there but because conclusions are being drawn from errors. The frequency is pretty astounding too... Would highly recommend people watch this one, as ethical and impartial reporting is a dying art. Gamers Nexus definitely tries (although nobody is perfect, and sometimes their anal attention to detail can be frustrating) with Steve seemingly having his heart in the right place when it comes to providing information that consumers can utilize in good conscience when making decisions. I have my issues with some of Steve's reporting at times, but I seldom question the validity of the content, whereas now LTT kinda looks like a crap shoot. No more reliable than the clickbait thumbnails you see on every other channel, LTT notwithstanding.

To be honest Lemmy is just the right amount of content for me, and generally high quality.

It has also gotten me out of my doom scrolling habits that were causing anxiety issues. Thank God for that.

Can we start saying that X is the platform formally known as Twitter?

It was born Twitter and it will die Twitter.

This is some shit. I'm actually glad I didn't apply to do engineering work there now. I am realizing if this kind of stuff had happened to me I'd likely be fired because I would nip that shit in the bud immediately, if it happened to me or if I had seen it happening to someone else. It's not right.

I have said this for years. The man is a bonafied used car salesman with no morals.

What's a reddit

• make them stupid
• make them poor
• give them guns
• make them angry

And then you shake it all about.

I design labs and to be honest it ends up being kinda a mix of both unless we're talking some major FAB

Well by that logic we either let them win or let them try and take it, at least by not letting them win there is a clear and moral resolution to the problem. Let them cry, and in jail for sedition if they feel angry enough about it.

Been seeing A-10's doing flyovers of my city last few days. Flying in pairs. Pretty sick machines.

This is fucking garbage.

Student loans are what kept me from being able to buy a home before the pandemic, and now they're going to keep me from being able to afford a grave after the pandemic.

I make decent money but everything is so stupid fucking expensive and now add the student loan payment coming back these guys just like to shit on everyone that isn't part of the bourgeois.

If this data gets sucked into a model it may be ingrained into future law students papers everywhere eventually.

I remember hearing about police thermal camera use being unconstitutional (or at least not allowed) in some places. How is this different?

I would like to add I have no source for this it's just something I remember hearing and you shouldn't believe people on the Internet do some research in verified sources or reputable news organizations and definitely don't just blindly believe what I have to say, but if it's for entertainment purposes then sure believe me. I believe me but I'm not heavily invested in verifying this fact.

Maybe we should just celebrate that there isn't a closed API forcing us to use just one app?

Yeah but we just got 8" of rain and 70 mph winds during a freak December storm that took out half our power grid, how will Amazon-Clause find my house?!? 80 degrees warmer than it should be here and our snowman holding up the mail box melted!!!

Except it's not an electric car. TF is this garbage

I got my October bill due on the ninth. It's dated the 14th.

Now they want $2600 for two payments at once and it's like an extra $400 in interest. Funny how that works.

There is also a rebate clause in the paperwork where if you don't miss a payment by more than 6 days the first twelve months you get a rebate.

Hmmmmmmmmm
