The iView stream was behind as well, fireworks outside at least 30s before.

Happy New Year, may this one be good to all.

I'm sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

v2.0 is all well and good, but it's still 3 years after I bought it, not giving them the benefit of the doubt next time.

It's about the server access sellers, but to block a whole major VPS instead of accounts that commit the violation is kinda absurd.

It looks like another step towards further restricting what users can do with their servers, local or virtual.

USB 3.0 is already 15 years old.

You ask for a comment regarding an accusation, this wasn't something to get a comment for, it was the details and evidence itself which is not refutable.

If there was a claim against someone of an event that cannot be shown, you would ask them for their version of events, if the news had a clear video of an irrefutable event they would not require comment for what the video itself would clearly demonstrate.

Steve's video was demonstrable information through explicit evidence, it wasn't something that a comment would have shed light to as the only appropriate comment that could be made be a public response.

The content of the video could not have been changed and given what was demonstrated, it did not serve the viewerbase to wait for the response of the larger platform with greater reach.

Linus Tech Tips has the reach needed to be seen by at least as many viewers with their response.

X.com is his product he owned, that is loosely associated with PayPal's success despite it having nothing to do with the tech that it was merged for.

By "absorbing" twitter with his original X company that is older than twitter, he can pretend to be the founder of the parent company X, like he pretends to be the founder of Tesla.

The next step is for the ad-tier to go to $7.99, $8.99, $9.99

The strategy was always to make the ad-free options more valuable by comparison.

In no more than 36 months, the ad-tier will cost the $9.99 it was intended to replace, making Netflix having successfully added ads to the base tier, for no discount.

Fediverse will still take years to get up, but this was a massive boost forward for it, the momentum has shifted.

I'm surprised how quickly I've adapted to fediverse, Mastodon just didn't fill-in for twitter in the way that the lemmy instances have, once I learned how they work together.

Now that I have gotten over the first hump, it feels new and exciting enough to make up for the lack of diverse content. I really think lemmy/kbin can be the platforms that push forward an interoperable, self-custodial social media.
