uBlock blocks things solely based on them being in a filter list. Privacy badger blocks form controls and html elements that can allow tracking. Those are different things.
I'm a lemm.ee user. I visit hexbear communities as they appear in my feed, much like how you might visit other communities on other instances due to the nature of federation.
Your response to an entire post outlining my experience with hexbear users is "seriously?" Do you have anything else to add? This is supposed to be a discussion. If you have something to add to the discussion, please do so. It's really easy to not respond when you have nothing to add.
I posted a comment in the_dunk_tank without noticing where I was. While many people were heated over what I said, it was a misunderstanding due to a lack of specificity and ignorance on my part. After I clarified what I was intending to say, discussion ensued and it was ended on good terms.
The vast majority of users I interact with from hexbear are thoughtful, insightful, kind and genuine individuals that care deeply about humanity and moving forward. The hate that they have is for fascism and actual fascists.
To defederate hexbear would be a disservice to the idea of federated social media.
Remember folks, it's not okay to (jokingly) threaten violence against things like the NRA convention or the Vatican. Please save your violent threats for judges and jury members of your favorite criminally-charged politicians. Thank you.
Billet estimated the cost of the prototype to be $800. They never sent them a product.
Linus said "they agreed on compensation" and yet billet has stated they never responded to his offer, that he sent literal hours after GN posted the main video. Linus lied here. He can say he is compensating them all he wants, but there has not been any agreement made between the parties involved. They didn't want payment, they wanted their fucking prototype back.
It's not a water block that costs $800 though. It's a prototype water block that they estimated the cost of producing to be around $800 given R&D, labor, materials, etc.
It was never meant to be a production ready product, and it should never have been treated as such.
The issue with the auction is due to the fact that they sent Billet numerous emails claiming to have prepared it to be shipped back, including one in which they said they would send tracking info shortly. They didn't know it was being auctioned off until afterward. And Linus didn't contact them about compensation until 3 hours after GNs video went live.
These are facts, backed by actual evidence which you can see for yourself in GNs latest HW news.
Right. Many are hitting with the "it should have been handled in private" line, and it's kind of annoying. Journalists report on things, and GN did just that. Reported on an issue that has been gaining in public discussion over time. This deserved transparency, and I hope that having it put out there will help LMG/LTT fix their shit. I'm sure I can speak for most of us in saying that we WANT LMG/LTT to SUCCEED. We want to see them produce quality content. But they can't do that with accurate information right now, despite their public desire to provide that.
LTT: says they want more accuracy, so they build a whole fucking lab for it.
Also LTT: puts bad data into the video anyway because time
That's literally enough said. It's not an attack on LMG, it's pointing out legitimate concerns about LMGs internal processes because these easy to catch errors are getting through all the time.
They test a water block prototype on a card it wasn't designed for, and then review it as a finished product with the bad data.
It's a pattern over a long period of time that has been called out by the community. GN is fully right to be putting this out there. Even if you disagree with Steve's assessment, he's right to be pointing out things he has concerns with.
Can confirm: I'm haunted by a guy on a horse
