My laptop is getting old and i can’t have Element eat up half of my RAM. There are many more clients out there but which one is good? aka "the best? ;-)...
I’m pushing half a century in an industry that is not kind to old guys. I try to fend it off but every now and then it hits me. I’m pretty sure this is not unique to my life experience, or it wouldn’t have a term :-)
A YouTube channel named “Gamers Nexus” made a video criticisms about LTT hardware Review process.
Due to having the pressure to make videos as quickly as possible, the quality control of hardware reviews has suffered, even with the Lab they assembled for testing hardware and presenting detailed benchmarks.
A startup sent Linux a watercooling prototype to review, but they tried it on a video card it was not designed for, giving bad results.
Then the “sold” the prototype apparently without the full approval of the creators.
Linus was dismissive at first, but now the company has responded and said will take quality control more seriously.
Now an ex employee named Madison came out telling basically that there is a Guy Bros type culture on LTT, where they made inappropriate comments to her, affecting her mental health, overloading her with work because she had the “funny job” of social media managment, and even verbally abused her. Some instances can be considered sexual harassment.
The new CEO of LTT said he was “shocked” by these revelations and will hire an external investigator.
I can believe the new CEO is surprised since he just stepped in (including the previous months of negotiations) but obviously there are things that Linus hasn’t told him. And since most of the important people at the company are Linus year long friends, they had covered each other up.
And yeah, self harming to take a sick leave is fucked up, pretty sure denying sick leave to an employee in Canada is ilegal since there they actually give a shit about labour laws.
Also, lets remember that when activison Blizzard got shit about the gigantic amounts of sexual harassment allegations, they pulled a “we investigates ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” and is still avoiding being investigates by independents.
Immediatly jumping to hire an external investigator is a good move from the CEO, given how low the bar is.
Yeah, getting into female spaces while still being kinda masc presenting without being explicitly invited first is just an invasion of privacy and violating boundaries.
Straight guy she barely knows calls her removed. Gets slapped.
Gay best friend calls her removed. They laugh together.
Anyway it 100% sucks, but I think the missing piece is that having an inside joke with someone you trust makes the situation entirely different. While the other guy is being a dick and insulting her out of the blue. So the sketch really misses the mark on that one.
Anyway I never called any of my female friends removed. Ever. Like, why?

I dont work at weddings, but is a given that the more expensive the wedding is, the shorter the marriage might be.
A big huge expensive wedding is a outbox stress, a vanity display and usually the bride is one of those who want the dream perfect wedding they wanted since she was a child.
Then comes the hyper fixation with aesthetics, that might translate into controlling and micro managing everyone on the wedding party and pushing people away for not matching it.
In the end, nothing about the wedding is about the love, being together, etc. It is just a huge waste of money just for some perfectly curated pictures. The marriage itself is no longer relevant and the couple might not last more than 2 years. Just keep it simple people, or even better, just elope.
It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it.

Ok, I don’t wanna generalize and say all japanese people are pedophiles, this is not what I’m implying and doing so is stupid, and certainly things are progressing, but as a life long weeb, I realize that a lot of japanese things end up relating somehow to pedophilia or explicit sexualization of minors....

There is plenty of very political anime. In theory there is no such thing as apolitical media, but so many animas are very in your fave about their political stances.
No. But focusing on supporting one single app instead of the platform is not sustainable for the platform. This meme is just a reminder to support the platform as well.
