Cheers for the continual update mate, always good to see how the project evolves

I'm pretty fond of these little Velcro straps I got from Amazon that are like 10cm x 30cm, you use them to push all your computer cables into them so you can neaten them up. I've got several of them strapped back to back and it's a pretty decent solution (and being Velcro you can just pull it apart later on)

I'd also argue that regardless of the server size, it takes literal seconds to explain why your account is getting banned, it's absolutely within the realm of reason that if your system allowed automated signups that you as an admin have an obligation to not be a shitcunt and at least give a reason as to why you're banning accounts.

Great work mate ♥️

I still occasionally run across the odd dodgy website that tried to disable zooming (along with other oddities like trying to disable right clicking on desktop) and it feels honestly that most of these annoyances come about because some asshole in the company (the CEO, lead designer, marketer, whatever) sees any changes to their websites from the user as "ruining the experience", disregarding the whole concept of accessibility in the modern web

I'm liking the giant A and B button.

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

Probably a good idea not to trust anything at face value from this bloke, he's the dodgy discount IRL version of Tony Stark

Make sure to never include your face when sending nude pics. Plenty of anonymous dick pics out there.

It's a shame it's not written in a PHP framework or something that's more common. Plenty of devs have been helping about contributing to kbin development, it sounds like it's a lack of manpower on Lemmy's end that's contributing to this

For an "experimental vaccine" it's had a pretty amazing job at limiting the severity of covid and reducing deaths. If only all experiments were that successful

You'd think if she really wanted to live she'd jump through any amount of hoops needed, you know like your life depended on it.. apparently not

Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿

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

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/1006

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

Are we just really posting selective parts of this video? I could have sworn that when journalists / the media do this everyone is up in arms about bias and creating a narrative, but when we do it I guess it's fine?

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

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

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

I can't speak for the other contributors but there's been almost 1000 tickets in the space of 2-3 months. I've been fairly busy fixing bugs and trying to improve the UI. I've flagged it to ernest and hopefully this gets resolved soon so we can keep everyone happy 🦙

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)

One thing I'm really surprised about is that the overall screen strength doesn't seem to have improved over the last 5 years. Screens are still much better than what they were over a decade ago (where a drop without a case was pretty much a screen crack)

But I'm finding on my Pixel 7 pro for example that I'm still finding light scratches, it feels like these screens only have a 5 or 6 on the mohz scale where you'd usually expect a 7 or beyond.

The balls on some of these people 😡

I think the end conclusion wasn't great. He said

It wouldn't matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

D4 will always be around. It's one of those games you can leave for years and come back to later. Be super keen on giving it a go once it's decently priced tbh. They definitely don't deserve 100+ AUD for it though

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they're pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he'll learn nothing.

Never trusting rockstar with another game. They CBF to even update RDR2 on PS5 to give it a basic performance mode, so why would I trust any of their new "remakes" will get support

Lots of upcoming bug fixes and improvements for kbin. It's been a slow process but super keen to get them out finally

The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of "why you trying to start shit"

But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what's the go?

It'll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
