Wow ok, I didn’t know that. Thanks, that sent me down a rabbit hole and I learned a new thing! I’m glad he reexamined his views!

The design is so cool, I just wish it didn’t include the bust of a very racist man…

Edit: turns out, he reexamined his views later in life! Love that!

I mean honestly, I wouldn’t give my kid a switch, not unless it was hacked. Have you SEEN how pushy Nintendo is for users to spend money on subscriptions and new eshop games?

Honestly, I think higher ed is more at risk because the people on the top keep skimming for more funds, leaving everyone below struggling. Pay your faculty, staff, and working students (grads and undergrads) well.

Oof, while the EU pressures Apple to actually improve their products with USB-C and replaceable batteries, the British government fumbles again. Seriously, E2E is a basic requirement for most companies and should be standard across the board. All this clamoring to try to detect CSAM just stinks like government surveillance and a threat to everyone’s privacy, and the US is no better.

Eh I think it’s pretty neat. Means a majority of users are tired of or willing to subvert capitalism in some aspect and that gives me hope.

Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I’ve had minimal issues with it.

and DOLBY Vision or DV movies if your hardware doesn’t support it.

I understood you correctly, but were you aware that American corporations including McDonald’s, Target, Whole Foods, and Microsoft have been profiting heavily from US prison labor without the the legal requirement to compensate the laborers fairly, provide sick days, or provide decent working conditions? https://sites.law.berkeley.edu/sustainability-compliance/corporations-use-of-prison-labor/

Shit’s fucked if/when you get convicted of a crime, whether your Gary or anyone else.

Edit: added context

that’s not technically true, the 13th amendment only outlawed slavery if you haven’t been convicted of a crime.

Edit: besides that technicality, I do agree.

Besides promoting Joe Rogan during the height of the pandemic when he was on a real stream of misinformation about COVID? Yeah it’s mostly how they treat artists they’re just like YouTube (and Tidal for that matter) where they claim to care about artists but there’s no way anyone but the top 1% is actually making living wage money from streaming. I just use Tidal cause pirating music took up too much storage for me and it makes music discovery a little more convenient.

fuckin well said.

Gotta love itch.io bundles for shopping indie games on a tight budget.

Tidal. I lowkey hate spotify and I think the audio quality is the same or better, for the same price (I don’t shell out for the highest tier).

there’s also Newpipe x Sponsorblock on android.
