The comment above yours was referring to the rest of people who could vote but didn’t, and I thought you said they were not to blame.

Anyways it just means most of the US is ok with trump, which is absolutely insane.

Yep, women alone could have put this election in the bag for harris. That confuses me the most out of all of this…

That’s bs, it just takes 1 hour of your day to go put a mark on a piece of paper and be done with it…

Pure laziness and complacency

I’m sure he’s taking full responsibility going to sleep in his mansion tonight, with his big salary and bonuses, which will probably see a nice bump from this.

With the FBI I guess, but then youtube didn’t do shit, nor his sponsors. It’s all business as usual with mr. beast. Usually platforms are quick to act on these things. It shows they don’t give 2 shits as long as the money flows in.

This Rosanna character is also disgusting because she’s milking all of this for sweet money. I just checked and she has posted regularly about mr beast these past months, and all of those videos are monetized. So yeah, all in all just more shit. I don’t think give a shit either.

The only way to win is to not make their wallets bigger.

He has been exposed for months now and literally nothing came of it. I don’t see how “tHe fBi” would suddenly give a crap, given also that what it’s show in the logs is just a bunch of offensive memes and shit…

So this comes across as someome else trying to get attention and moral points from this…

If you actually want to do the right thing get off those toxic platforms and follow better creators elsewhere. Block ads too, they should not get a penny out of you.

I have already looked up most of what you recommended, and I arrived at the same initial conclusion…

• OpenRGB doesn’t list support for my Gigabyte mobo, or XPG ram (unless I’m reading this wrong). I need this to stop the default behavior which is rainbow puke
• AMD adrenalin only lists 3 distros, and none of which I’d like to use (I’d prefer linux mint LMDE)
• Plus I haven’t even talked about the apps (office for starters, then itunes+icloud which I use to sideload apps)

Linux doesn’t have several programs I use to control my peripherals, the mobo RGB profile, and GPU fan control from Sapphire. It also doesn’t have a proper AMD adrenalin as far as I’ve checked, nor firmware updater for SSD/NVME, and the list goes on and on. I also heard controlling high refresh rate displays on linux is a nightmare.

If I want to use the gaming PC I built to its full potential then I need windows…

The article is still dumb though, anyone left behind using old hardware should not go through the pain of forcing win11 to run. They all should switch to linux

I knew a comment like this was coming, but unless you can show how microsoft can decrypt my kdbx I stand fully by my current setup.

There’s a big difference. You trust entities like bitwarden/lastpass/etc to properly encrypt the data, protect your master key, and trust their entire architecture behind the scenes.

When you encrypt the keepass DB that’s all done by you locally with a open source client. No one knows your master key, and you get a simple encrypted file. You can hand that file to hackers if you want, will be useless without the key.

I put one of the copies of my keepass on onedrive, and syncs perfectly across all devices.

Companies can enshiffity at a moments notice.

Why would anyone trust any company with their passwords??

Just use keepass and not bother with BS

Imagine using a google service. Do yourselves a favor and use anything else, even outlook, over Google.

No one is forced to use youtube in the same sense no one is forced to use a smartphone.

In the real world you’ll eventually have to use those things to participate in society, just by the sheer reach those things have in our daily lives.

Just look back into any time a friend or family shared a link, or it was embedded in an article, or a company made an announcement only in youtube, or if you’re in school and you were asked to view some lesson, or those college lectures that get uploaded to youtube.

I can get more examples, the thing is you’ll need to click a youtube link at some point. Is it ok for us to deal with an enshittified platform? should we act like a luddite because we don’t agree with the TOS? is this fair for us?

My current usage of youtube doesn’t involve following creators, for that I use odysee/twitch. But the point remains, its morally correct to block ads, the platform is unfairly dominant.

Easier said than done when you talk about the global video sharing platform that is used everywhere by everyone…

It’s like telling someone to just ditch their smartphone… not practically doable. Blocking ads is morally correct when you are forced to use it.

They can try to enshittify all they want, but as long as they keep offering that shit for free it’s their own fault really. There will always be a way to remove all the crap once the video images enter my computer.

If it isn’t sustainable for them then they should have required sign in and payment long ago instead of operating at a loss just to get all the content in their place. The only ones letting it happen are themselves, we just here for the ride.

He’s already way past caring about anything other than money. He just gets the script and lends his known face for the video… regardless of anything else.

Can’t entirely blame the guy though, cuz when he gets going you quickly see what an asshat he actually is, but he did have passion for the content a few years ago.

I just wish LTT would fade into irrelevancy already, it’s just shallow clickbaity content that hardly provides any value. I’m also just waiting for their next workplace abuse accusations… the place is known to be abusive for years.

This is what I’m referring to https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZjJUVsmjIj4

It has been definitely downplayed and sugarcoated for public audience, but the shitty workplace smells a mile away…

Just install Linux, it’s not that hard.

This is just but the small first step. I was basically checking what it will take to daily drive linux on my desktop, and there’s many little roadblocks that I’m just instead considering getting a Win 11 pro license next year and just turning off all the shit in gpedit.

• No RGB software for my gigabyte mobo (openrgb doesn’t have it).
• No AMD adrenalin unless I go with Ubuntu, which is just on the same path of enshittification as windows
• No steelseries engine
• No Sapphire trixx
• No microsoft office desktop/onedrive (means I gotta find an office replacement that also works on my apple devices and syncs)

Linux has come a long way, and it’s probably enough for some but it would be a massive headache for me still…

"but we still can’t give everything away for free.”

Then why have they positioned youtube to be a public worldwide service freely accessible all these years?

It is the usual tactic of operating at a loss for years, building an unsustainable service and supporting it with revenue from other places. Google was officially declared a monopoly, and youtube is not profitable, so it’s easy to connect the dots and say youtube grew to it’s current dominance unfairly through that monopoly money.

Now they want to enforce their TOS on you, pay up or watch a million ads or leave. Well fuck their TOS, I avoid anything google like the plague, but their unfair position on video sharing makes it hard to avoid youtube particularly. I respond unfairly in turn, by proxying youtube through invidious.
