Annexation of Gaza was the plan all along.

It's important to note that a VPN is simply somebody else's network in another location.

[-] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

I feel as though this take is fully fud. It sounds like a take that came from seeing tons of advertisements for vpns without really understanding how they work. Maybe I'm wrong about you. That said, in general, a VPN is not a great cloak for piracy.

Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it's very clear what they mean.

You're about 30 years off, but nice try.

You absolutely were talking about that. Maybe not as your main point, but it was part of your statement.

I doubt this has much to do with Google maps and more to do with Google being cockwombles in general.

Organic maps in the US is fucking awful and quite literally unusable.

SVN is trash and the people who advocate for it over git are probably pretty crappy developers.

Reason being, if they have trouble understanding git, I have little faith in their ability to create competent code.

As I have repeatedly said... Just because Biden has repeated the US company line of unequivocal support for Israel, etc etc (Because even among democrats it's political suicide to say anything else). That doesn't mean that he hasn't been trying the entire time to get Israel to stop the bullshit. This is more or less a point for point list of a lot of the things that have been tried. It misses quite a few of the more notable ones, but it grabs enough so that you get the idea.

So let me refer to my "stop using antisemitic words" chart...

How the fuck we haven't kicked these companies out of California yet completely baffles me.

So, until recently, I have been using https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/blob/master/hosts.txt

However, as some issues that I have opened have shown, there are a bunch of left wing and progressive sites on this list ( https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/issues ). I no longer think that it is trustworthy. Especially after reading some of the repo owners replies. Intentionally added was t.me which is a generic url for any telegram group. Discordapp.com was on it at one point.

Oy Vey. It's clear to me that the owner of this repo is not actually spending much time actually curating this list and instead it's just a shotgun approach. Does anyone know of a good alternative?

You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

The Problem with LMG (www.youtube.com)

My personal thoughts

At first it came off a bit whiney, but I watched the entire thing and I'm glad I did. It shows a pattern of carelessness and in some cases complete douchebaggery of LMG.

What they did to Billet Labs is absolutely un-fucking excusable. LMG and Linus, in particular, needs to be mercilessly shamed for that until Billet Labs gets a clear and unequivocal apology and paid restitution for damages. Fucking shameful. What a bunch of pricks.

Video Description

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.
