That's how I watch it as well. I think the benefit of the YT clips is that the editors crop in news articles to bolster his claims w/ factual evidence. It's like a built-in fact checker confirmer
I agree re: China. Terrible takes.
I'm a fan and catch YT recaps of topics he covers that I find interesting.
I will say though that he, as a political influencer, is beholden to his target demographic in the same way that Fox News captivates/gets held captive by its more fervent supporters. It's a crude analogy, but my understanding is that the ideals of journalism is to follow the news, while influencers follow the engagement.
It is interesting getting his insights and hearing a knowledgeable person speak on the issues, but it isn't the same as getting news from a true blue journalist imo
I agree 100%. Liberals retweeting how Elon is losing money is actually making him money
There's an irony seeing Redditors creating threads and complaining about it as if they did anything during the API-gate saga
Yes. Widespread nihilism certainly will not have any negative consequences
I see what you did there
OTA antennae for sports.
For streaming, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.
My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it.
I live by myself so I don't have as much pushback as you likely would FYI
Earlier this month I finally disconnected the wifi for my 7 year old Roku TV. I miss being able to turn it on w/ voice activation but I'll trade that in for my privacy
what's the min-sys requirements for a good experience?
I can't tell if you're serious or trolling
I use it. I think it was a hardening recommendation from lynis IIRC.
I definitely experienced a lot more freezing on my laptop after installing it (it's a memory hog) so I upped my swap and things are back to normal.
Any rando lofi channel on YouTube/Spotify/Online Radio Stations
Probably not for me as I'm not interested in a summarizing tool, but I'm not against AI in general.
OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.
Probably because you can pay for a month and download all the wallpapers and cancel.
Arrested Development & Frasier for wit.
Friends and also the Chicago version of Friends (Happy Endings) for familiarity, knowing and growing w/ characters.
Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE
No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~
. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find
will show all the examples of ls
that use find
. If you remove ~find
, then it shows all examples of ls
.
I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more
for readability):
function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }
Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.
- They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
- They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky
Repeat ad-nauseum
In addition to being in the wrong section, this also shows that Firefox usage was in a steep decline long before the pay took off in 2016.
Internet points since they're of equal value.

Platformer is leaving Substack for Ghost, an Open-Sourced publishing platform
We’ve seen this movie before — and we won’t stick around to watch it play out
"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."
Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?
They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.
This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?
I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
