I worked in a bank for a bit. Literally any transaction that’s large and unusual for the account will be flagged. Also people do bonkers things with their money for the stupidest reasons all the time so all that one has to do if they’re making large transactions is be prepared to talk to the bank and explain what’s going on.

Unless of course you are handling money in relation to organized crime, in which case you were fucked the moment the money touched the banking system

That was Logan Paul, and actually the Paul brothers’ antics actually greatly delayed Pewd’s immigration as the Japanese government actually stopped granting new visas to any social media personalitiws for some time after the Paul incidents.

If I remember correctly he wasn’t able to immigrate until mid-2020 thanks to the Paul Borthers’ lack of respect for anyone

That’s super cool. I’d love to know more about Nebula’s business practices, do you know where I could find that information? I’ve seen some interviews with their leadership that didn’t go into anywhere near the depth that I’d like and that’s about it

The farmers I know go through a handful of local butcher shops to handle everything from that point forwards. The butcher gets high quality meat to sell and the farmer doesn’t have to deal with the parts of the process that aren’t part of their skillset or that they otherwise don’t want to handle. So while they aren’t part of the killing and butchering process, they are confident in their trust of the individuals and small businesses they rely on for it

From what I’ve seen and learned, small businesses and small farms have the capability to handle the process of breeding and nurturing their stock for processing into the cuts of meat we buy at the store in a humane manner, but very large farms and very large meat processing operations every individual is simply too disconnected from the full process to ensure every step is as humane as it should be.

Ultimately this is why we need to greatly expand the USDA to ensure every step of the process of our food being brought to our plates is as humane and safe as possible. The USDA already has full time inspectors who work at meat processing plants full time to ensure everything is safe and by the book, with the power to pause operations at any moment if they see a problem, but this needs to be expanded. We need USDA and FDA inspections to be frequent and thorough at every food processing facility in the country. Farms that product stock for these facilities need to be regularly audited. The erosion of the FDA and USDA is part of why there’s been so many salmonella outbreaks and food recalls in recent years

I’m worried about Nebula’s business model being profitable enough to be sustainable in the long term but given their business model includes making every creator on the platform a part-owner of the platform that does limit how bad things can get

Others have pointed out how people keep growing up in their 20s and 30s. But also as a media personality, you can’t ignore the possibility that he’s playing a character on camera. It could legitimately be he just kept acting like his younger self while recording because that pays the bills

He emigrated to Japan a few years ago

My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I’ve loosely seen some of his content over the years. He’s apologized multiple times, and he’s shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.

Basically in the last few years he’s grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs

LBRY is cool but I’m honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It’s mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.

Peertube has actual large creators who aren’t weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there’s kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users

Knowing some farmers personally, yes, yes it is real

Realistically Tailscale seems to currently be running on a model of get all of the self hosters to love running it at home so then they advocate to run it at work where all of the pricey enterprises licenses make the real money.

I’ve actually seen some real world usecases where if I had more political push, I would’ve put Tailscale onto the running as a potential solution

Hopefully they have the right people in place to push back at the VC firms about maintaining their current strategy rather than scaring away all of their best advocates before they can truly get off the ground. Having worked at a company owned by a hedgefund, part of the trick is having the right people in place in the company who can block the worst decisions by the capital-hungry owners

Roblox: finally a place where kids too can experience sexual harassment, workplace discrimination, pay disputes and make risky investments in an unregulated commodities market

At least when RuneScape did it it was entirely limited to within the game and didn’t yet have a first party currency conversion system

How hard is it to simply show a rough estimate of how much storage space a game will need before downloading? I’m not talking groundbreaking stuff here…

Except most people just click a link on their desktop that goes to a thing they have a completely different name for anyways. If you don’t tell them anything (or just say it’s a new version of Windows) they likely won’t notice the actual differences, just complain about missing a specific icon for something without being able to correctly name what it is

Probably is still true, but I’ve not been paying close attention to the AI market in the last couple of years. But the point I was trying to make was that it’s an apples to oranges comparison

Seeing the person chewing out folks for calling for a fork is pretty funny in hindsight. They aren’t wrong, but now they’re the recorded naysayer in a pivotal moment for a major open source project. It’s like anyone who said Open Office shouldn’t be forked when Open Office was purchased by Oracle. Now Open Office is abandonware with only functionally useless commits and multiple unpatched security issues and Libre Office has completely replaced it

I dropped my music library into Jellyfin just as an extra. I’ve built up quite a collection over the years of CDs and always rip and tag them as I acquire new CDs, so while the collection is a little messy it’s sizable and mostly correctly tagged

Jellyfin’s music playback has been buggy but getting better with updates. At the current rate of improvement it’ll probably be really good in a 2-4 years, but right now it’s kinda meh. It exists but it’s buggy enough that I don’t use it much

You forgot the step of “presidential candidate quotes the Facebook post in a presidential debate”

It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn’t do anything for.
