There was an initial reaction from Linus on his forums where he massively doubled down on his stance that he had not done anything wrong with the review model LTT had auctioned off without permission (I can’t remember the name of the company). He had even accused GN of not following “journalistic standards” by not giving LTT a chance to put their side forward.

This was met with another video from GN, and overall criticism over the dismissive attitude Linus was displaying. That’s when they came out with a YT video, admitting their numerous faults, and Linus himself admitted that the way he responded on the forum was not acceptable.

Pretty much doubled down initially, till they realised that they’re in actual deep waters.

Personally, I would say it shouldn’t matter.

I wouldn’t want to know the birth date of a person I was interviewing, and there’s no need for my interviewer to know mine.

Thanks for making wild assumptions about what I use.

And also, incorrect usage of the strawman fallacy.

I hope you have a nice day :)

Look at the history of XMPP, to give you a precursor of what to expect. There’s no naivety here. Those who don’t history are doomed to repeat it.

Nope, that would be horrible.

One of the biggest draws of YouTube is that anyone can go and upload their stuff. We literally have youtubers who started out in their rooms with a webcam, and became big because of the quality of their stuff. This would put a barrier of entry for new youtubers to enter.

LinkedIn is pretty useful fwiw

I guess accidents per thousand/million cars on road would be more representative.

Think of it like this, if ~70% of all autonomous driving cars were Teslas, and they have a ~70% contribution to the accident volume, then they’re as bad as the competition.

I’m not saying Tesla’s auto pilot doesn’t have problems, but this particular metric is not the best one to say how it is compared to the competition.

Personal opinion: No manufacturer has an auto pilot capable enough to be on the road.

As someone not from US, and generally interested in the specifics of gerrymandering, can someone share a link for the extent of gerrymandering in Ohio.

Linux does, but the question is if the proton layer optimization holds up for ARM processors as well.

While the monopoly that YT has as a video platform is definitely an issue, the cost of maintaining the content has definitely risen now. 480p vs 4k videos have a ton of difference in bandwidth, no matter how much Internet speeds have evolved over the years.

I used Google Play Music (RIP) and moved into YT Music for my music streaming needs. The cost of YT premium was marginally higher so I switched for it.

The major issue with YT Premium is that they still collect the data from YT to show targeted ads, but I use also use uBlock, so that doesn’t really bother me as much.

Point is, video hosting services are expensive. The quantity (not quality) of content on YT is way higher than any othet streaming service, and maintaining that for free is pretty close to impossible. The only possible alternative would be a government backed video platform and that’s definitely worse.

It’s not privacy but exclusivity of data collection to apple

True anyways

Having 2 different instances of the same app. Samsung provides this for most messaging apps.

Before calling Bullshit on people, you could’ve done a simple Web search.

I don’t think Apple is comparable to Google and Meta, yet. Allow them sole ownership of data on the phones, I don’t expect that to hold true in a few years.

Actually, the whole Privacy part is one of the biggest gimmicks Apple has ever pulled.

Sure, it doesn’t allow Meta and Google to not allow data collection, but research indicates Apple continues to collect the same amount of data. In the long run, I’m sure that Apple would also use this data to serve ads in their own way, just that they’ll call it “iAds”, and fanboys would cream their pants
