Linus Tech Tips really is scum. Yet more proof of that.

All I need to know is that when I shake my cursor in KDE it keeps growing bigger.

He is an empty husk of a man who has completed his transformation into a pure PR machine

Except that OpenOffice has been forked into LibreOffice in like 2010 and has since gotten an optional ribbon UI.

It’s great that you’re spreading the word but this must be done strategically, not just dumping a bunch of posts at once on random communities especially since they are all from your own blog.

Keep it to a slow trickle of info and not only will people be less annoyed but they also will have repeated, organic interactions with Meshtastic over a longer period instead of it being forced upon them all at once with spam.

The way you’re doing this they will disregard your posts and think the MT community is annoying and not worth engaging with.

Oh, now I see it. Not cool,@adrelien@lemmy.radio

This is not a good way to promote the Meshtastic community.

Why is this getting downvoted? Is there some kind of meshtastic hater community I haven’t heard about?

It’s best use is alternative communications in a disaster, where the mobile network is affected. Or if a dictator decides to shut it off during a protest.

Overall it could work well as a communications means for activists in street protests since these often overload networks by sheer volume of users concentrated in one spot.

Or the game Descent. Although that already took place in space.

Fuck YouTube for constantly doing this shit. Thank you NewPipe contributors for keeping up with it!

I agree that this is a wider problem with streams as a genre.

I think the main problem is that starting a stream and talking about whatever in order to appeal to a larger and larger audience is rewarded rather than good research and preparing high quality content, like on YT or TikTok.

It’s just not possible when you’re streaming and would defeat the purpose. It’s all quantity over quality, so assholes get to the top.

I fucking hate all these streamer “personas”. They always turn out to be assholes.

Even the TERFs are getting into AI grifts nowadays

You seem really chill about this, almost like that soyjack you posted.

I disagree. I think that some aspects of the software should be open about what they’re doing to everyone. Otherwise people just get used to the idea that everything is a black box that they have no real control of. It also helps educate people on IT and its concepts overall.

Even if they can’t specifically tell what is going on, they can see something is going on. And as long as this does not make it harder to use, the more info the better.

I understand but then again it goes in a circle - more content ➡️more users➡️more content

Then maybe it’s time to switch to a FLOSS federated alternative, like Pixelfed? That way nobody can implement bad changes like this without the community fixing or forking the code.

What’s wrong with .7z?

What’s keeping this from repeating the same scenario?

The us will literally do anything but build better public transportation.
