An interesting development to be sure

I rarely grope people, I usually keep my hooves to myself!

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

Boos are just IRL downvotes, perfectly valid to just ignore them if you know you're right

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

 

The Nubia RedMagic 8S Pro+ gaming phone sports a huge spec sheet.

 

Looks like Daedalic Entertainment is getting shuttered because of how badly the Gollum game was received. Usually not keen on dog-piling on developers when they're down but it was truly an awful game

 

There's a heap of devs working on bug fixes and improvements to the kbin.social website. If you run into a bug or find something strange, it would be great if you can report it on codeberg.

With third party apps going away, I'm expecting an influx of new people who will join kbin.social over the next few weeks. The project has taken shape rapidly and it's exciting to see the progress that's been made.

I've been working through a range of UI/UX issues focusing on mobile but any reports, along with images or use cases are super handy to people looking at the issues list.

 

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.
