True, true

Don’t be disingenuous.

Horse shit.

Reading vs TV was a tired debate in the eighties. YouTube is no different than tv. Hell, in some ways, because it isn’t all controlled by oligarchs entirely, I would argue that it’s easier to find good things on YouTube than it ever was on broadcast or cable tv.

Also, ablist much? How about the blind and dyslexic? Are they fucked just because you don’t like that format?

Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, and fuck Google/alphabet, but don’t pretend to be the arbiter of entertainment.

So, sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?

Because a lot of the time, it’s weird that when the company does nasty shit, nobody names him as the head asshole in charge the way that other companies and ceos get handled.

The dude has been in the driver’s seat for pretty much every major deterioration of Google/alphabet for years.

Ain’t that the truth!

If you got him talking about his art, you could end up in these long, deep conversations with him, and he was always just so damn nice.

I wish like hell the account I talked to him on the most didn’t get nuked during the protests. I can’t go back and revisit those conversations now.

The guy was just well rounded, smart, and as you said very down to earth.

It wouldn’t be accurate to call him a friend, but I liked him a lot. Like, if he had figured out where I live and had knocked on my door, I would have invited him in; there’s family members I don’t let in my door, and I’m paranoid as hell about strangers showing up uninvited.

I’m gonna argue with the title.

Obsolete means no longer of use, in a general sense.

Just because people don’t know that the tool is there, or don’t know how to apply it, doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. Hyphenation still has its original utility, it helps communicate in writing what is evident in speech.

I get what they mean, but the title is not accurate to the rest of the article, imo.

\m/

That’s what I wanna say, 128.

I think it’s https://lucida.to/ this

Yeah, I’ve never run across it before, and there’s too many things that use it as a name to run a regular search

Same here. I’d even go so far as to say it’s my fave of theirs

That’s a pretty super supergroup

Fwiw, I’ve never put drm on anything I’ve published digitally, and never will.

Not that it matters, nobody buys my shit in the first place lol. But, as a matter of principle, even my crappy stories as a form of culture aren’t only for the people with money.

Mind you, that do? I have no beef with. You make your own choices, and I ain’t mad about it. But it just isn’t something I can do.

Yup.

Don’t get me wrong, I really only use forks at this point, but that’s all they are, nor distinct browsers of their own

Well, why the hell would I drag my ass to a theater to see a retread of a movie made by the same studio, when the studio already has a bad track record with remakes?

Like maybe beauty and the beast was a solid enough standalone movie to merit a theater trip. Maybe. But even that wasn’t necessary, it was still just a retread made to keep their finger in the pie. It didn’t offer anything more than the original, unless you’re a hard core Watson fan.

The rest? Tepid at best.

Why would anyone think that this movie, with trailers that already show the cgi brings nothing interesting to the table, spend money on it?

But do they give wah?

In specific for this, yes. But also in general

Is using a fork of something really an actual solution? It’s still enabling the dominance of the original corporation.

I dunno, maybe it is, but it sure doesn’t seem like it to me

WHAT?!

Grrraaaarghhhhhhh!

Brutal

As

Fuck
