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
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
I’ve posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don’t really care about the karma because I can’t see it anyway, but I’m worried that comments and posts here are gonna get...
Seen plenty of people calling for the de-federation ban-hammer whenever they find comment they like. There's fine line between having an open space and an echo chamber and if it were up to these people we'd federate with no one
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....
Reddit was always going to rebound eventually, it's got a massive userbase and can pull through a fair number of people leaving. I'm pretty happy with the amount of free time I've won back since I've stopped doom scrolling Reddit.
Pretty keen to see how the fediverse improves over time.
Great to see baulders gate 3 doing well. A perfect storm of development conditions and we get rewarded at the end of it with a fantastic game. Hopefully heaps of extra extra content down the track to keep it going
With the way some people treat the fediverse I'd argue that this place as a whole is well on its way to becoming an echo chamber.
The number of posts I've seen along the lines of "hey I don't like x, can we de-federate" is shocking. People need to have some level of accountability and block people / communities / domains for themselves without resorting to pulling out the de-federation ban-hammer which affects everyone else on the instance
A perfectly fair and balanced opinion. It's ultimately up to the admins since they've effective got to clean the mess if it happens, but gauging community sentiment would always be nice
I'd say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial
Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it’s pretty much exclusively a user from there....
Whenever I see these threads pop up I always look for this comment. People need learn to block communities and users that you're not keen on, not reach for the de-federation ban-hammer because you personally don't want to see the content.
There's an argument to be made about instances made 100% in bad faith, or where the content is overwhelming stacked, but for most of these situations people need to take care of this themselves
That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
People just need to change their attitude for how they interact with Reddit now. Gone are the days of good faith and honest interaction. I'll happily lurk and absorb content and provide no interaction back, not wasting my time curating / generating content for them anymore.
Despite site-stopping protests by mods and users, Reddit leadership chose to brute force its way through any reasonable way of continuing third-party app support. Instead, the company hopes its luxury-priced API will be its secret shortcut to an overvalued IPO. As a result, Reddit’s official iOS app is being torpedo’d in the...
As a heads up, apparently the people who manage revanced (the app you can use to repackage YouTube to bypass ads) have added a repack for reddit sync, letting you use your own API key in place of the devs. I'm still waiting on my dev key but that's something that might interest people.

Still super shitty that sync for reddit is vanishing soon. While it's great that apparently it's getting re-leveraged as a fediverse reader, still amazed at how poorly this API transition happened because Spez wants to be a knob
Terrible mate, it sucks that you got the shit end of the stick. Reddit admins are putting the squeeze on heaps of mods, they're not interested in resolving any issues, just silencing opposition.
It's a shame that something you put that much time and effort in has all of a sudden vanished, hopefully you find a new home / community here.
Lots of subreddits are being forced / threatened to open back up so that Spez can fix his IPO valuation and stop these mean mean moderators from hurting his feelings
Some subreddits are opening up and changing their rules so that only specific exact content is being allowed. For example the r/steam subreddit for the steam gaming platform is now discussing literal steam, the idea being that the subreddit is open but it's either a joke or crap content
It's a good enough solution, opening these things in name only and forcefully moderating thing to ensure the conversation and engagement is boring, there's not much else mods can do when admins are being a bunch of dicks.
Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?
Yeah I think people are underestimating how much time was invested. Imagine if Gmail just up and vanished and you had to use something else after being so invested, ofcourse people are going to be talking about it for ages until the annoyance passes
Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest, comparing them to a “landed gentry.”
A majority of these subreddits, at least the big ones were polled regarding their involvement. Either through an actual poll or upvote / comment support.
If people didn't want their subreddit to be involved they could of commented / downvoted if they wanted to be heard.
This stinks of lurkers who are annoyed they can't get their content anymore (when they don't even contribute to the discussion)
As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."
Their handling of this situation has been piss poor. It feels like every step along the way, from the initial announcement about API pricing to his awful Reddit AMA where he replied 12 times and then fled, it's been a terrible look.
I'm hoping more people see alternates like kbin and give them a go.
