I guess his flavour of tainment just doesn’t jam well with me. Like I said, it’s not the subject matter, but the content just feels needlessly padded. Compare this to videos by Tom Scott, CGP Grey, Matt Parker, Steve Mould, etc. Those videos are far more dense with content It reminds me of how mythbusters gets so much better once you take out the narrator and the endless recaps…

Regarding clickbait - to me a title this one is just another symptom of that disregard for the viewers time. Being coy and mysterious about the subject matter to lure people in. And yeah, hat’s probably why it works.

I agree that the production values are incredibly high. But I just can’t stand being treated like a simpleton who needs drama to be tricked into watching videos, it feels very patronising.

I feel the same way. I feel like I would love his subject matters he picks, but he’s being so disrespectful of the viewers time that I can’t stand it. Just the clickbait title alone is enough to put me off.

No worries. I’m glad there’s a niche for everyone, and that miner’s being refilled :)

AFAIK the new steel has hrm, although I haven’t checked on the Round 2.

I guess there’s a market for it nevertheless, because in stoked for the new pebble steel. I’m still wearing mine every day. I checked out the Bangle, but compared to the pebble it just looks like a cheap kids toy to me. At the same time, other good-looking smartwatches are either neutered in functionality, or send all your data to the cloud (or both). Also: yay, physical buttons instead of just touch screen!

This reboot is amazing news to me.

I was gonna post a list of other things that happened on July 9 2025, but it was all kinda depressing.

The post ended with “stay tuned”. Do you have any update for us, OP?

I cannot resist a Pratchett quote.

To me it reads like “I’m going to move abroad if x wins the elections.”

Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don’t really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.

I’m sorry I have to spell this out for you, but in other parts of the world WhatsApp is The messenger. As in, since companies are easier to approach though it than, say email. Bundle that with the network effect, and it’s effectively self-ostracising to go without.

Having said that, I still do that, but I’m antisocial, and am okay with being excluded from group chats. But at least I don’t go around showcasing my ignorance/incomprehension at how other people do things differently.

Great! My steam controller could do with an update.

I think it’s more useful to take their points at their own merit, rather than factor in who said it. Who cares if they said they were leaving, or if they torture puppies in their spare time. There’s no need to make it personal - feedback is feedback. IMHO a user shouldn’t have to know about federation or how it works - if lemmy wants widespread adoption, tackling these issues will help.

Does it allow differentiating between dependencies and dev dependencies though? I couldn’t gather that from the article.

Or option C: there’s a discussion going on about an open source project, and you’re starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn’t downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

For the past half hour I tried to read into what’s happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

1. Communities are gonna drama.
2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn’t be allowed to.
3. I really don’t care enough to waste more time on this.

You can either pick a battle that you cannot win (assuming you’re not the one in charge of the many millions such a migration would cost). You can just deal with it, or you can look for better circumstances.

You say you’re convincing people, management sees a trouble maker who’s spreading unhappiness.

In my opinion, it’s better to save your energy for something where it can make a change, not a futile attempt at trying to make an institute drop Outlook or Teams, or whatever shitty software we’re talking about.

But hey, this is just my advice. You do you.

Uhuh. Let me know how that works for you, out in a real corporate setting.

In my experience you can say all you want (if you’re lucky), but in the end, switching providers on a large scale costs a lot of money. And their money is more important than your discomfort.

But the closest thing to the 6 TB Microsoft offers, would be the 10TB from filen at €400 a year. Whereas with Microsoft, it’s only $120 a year and you get all the other services. Say what you will about the quality of MS products, but they are the cheaper option here.

I’m guessing the vast majority of its users are students and corporate employees, neither of which get a say in which software is used.

Everything is political.

That’s debatable, but it might be in your life. However, not everything political is tech.

And my reason for having high standards is that lowering them would expose me to too much garbage.

The reason I’m subscribed here, and not on lemmy.world!technology, is that that place will allow anything that gets clicks - even if it’s only tangentially related to actual tech.

Hence, the amount of rants about Musk is through the roof.

I had higher hopes for this place, but it does require moderation. Your post, with all due respect, is just political circlejerk clickbait.

If the person who tweeted that was the head of a fertiliser company, do you think this post would be fit for a gardening community?

Hmmnope. Replacing it with Russia, or Trump, or whichever political entity didn’t make it any less political for me.

Let’s face it: this post does vaguely concern a tech company - in the sense that it wants to highlight the political opinion or quote of a figurehead of a tech company.

So tell me honestly - is this mostly about tech news, or is it mostly about politics?
