Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

poke,

It’s one of those things you just have to accept about this kind of social media and, in a sense, Lemmy users specifically. I’m not too surprised that parts of this community are in the camp of disliking things because they are popular and don’t fit their specific wants/needs. Many people are here because they dislike the more popular Reddit, after all.

In a more general sense, most people when they don’t like something are neutral about it, and those people won’t show up in the comment section, so all we see are these more “extreme” opinions.

I enjoy watching LTT videos, but you won’t find me jumping into comment sections saying I’m a huge fan and there’s no way they could have done something bad because I like their channel, for example. Getting the independent audit was a good idea, and I’m glad they went through it. I don’t think the defamation comment was necessary, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the message is worth ignoring.

poke,

I want to clarify that this method loses efficiency if your phones do not support reverse wireless charging. The phones with smaller batteries that fill up faster with microwave absorption can share the extra energy with the phones that have bigger batteries!

poke,

4k is not the dominant resolution for some media like twitch streams. There are also lots of people who still don’t have Internet fast enough to stream native 4k. It could help with older YouTube videos, as well.

poke,

Unironically, that could save lives

poke,

Most people sit on the toilet, but this is a judgement free zone

poke,

You can get a screen protector that has the same effect.

poke,

I have no idea how they feel like they can back up like half of these claims. Not that it matters, if something leaks they’ll just say “oops, nobody could have seen this coming” and then move on.

poke,

Nah it still runs really poorly. Shame too, otherwise it’s my favorite mainline game.

poke,

Nah you had it right. They mixed up left and right.

poke,

This mindset is how many free apps we care about end up as advertising and data-selling businesses.

poke,

Can we also get Kingdom Hearts on PC but not on the epic games store?

poke,

I don’t watch Star Trek, but I want to pitch in that the only episode I’ve ever seen is Trouble With Tribbles and I enjoyed it.

poke,

Going by the recent firings, I’d wager he’s in on it.

poke,

What’s different here is that it’s an option and not the only method.

poke,

Haha lasagna

poke,

I have a plastic screen in front of my phone screen so I read the plastic and not the agreement.

poke,

Platforms can still participate in the “I don’t want you to see this”/“I want you to see this” game. Governments aren’t the only parties that benefit from looking to control public sentiment.

poke,

It unlocks characters, outfits, and hard mode.

poke,

Nah it’s just a hook, go for it champ

poke,

There are plenty of good Lemmy communities that aren’t on those instances. I don’t blanket block them personally, but I understand those who do.

Reminder: crypto isn’t solarpunk. It’s cyberpunk.

Listening to a recent episode of the Solarpunk Presents podcast reminded me the importance of consistently calling out cryptocurrency as a wasteful scam. The podcast hosts fail to do that, and because bad actors will continue to try to push crypto, we must condemn it with equal persistence....

poke,

To expand on this, there are crypto such as Nano, which take very little energy and time to crunch transactions. I wouldn’t expect most people talking about crypto to be talking about that kind of coin, though. Bitcoin and Etherium are the heavy hitters, and they are incredibly wasteful.

I’m not going to get behind the finger pointing on the comment I am replying to, though :)

poke,

Some of the water is inside the map and is interactable, the rest is prebaked

poke,

This is the current Internet but with discord statuses.

poke,

I don’t know why so many people in the fediverse consider Element a competitor to Discord. I regularly use Element, but the non-text functionality just isn’t ready to point people at as an alternative. They will have a bad time and write off Element potentially forever if they are shown that app as an alternative right now.

Some examples of functionality that is important to discord but is not a good experience or is not ready in element yet: voice/video channels, screen sharing, custom emotes and reactions, channel organization and browsing (their latest attempt just doesn’t do it for me).

Additionally, there are times when encryption just has a hiccup still or someone sets it up wrong and things can be messy because of it.

I really like element and they’ve done a good job so far, but It’s just not ready for people to be pushed there from discord.

poke,

New War.
