If you see 0 ads and don't pay anyone, I'm not sure how the service could be sustainable. I'm also against ads but only if you're actually paying. That's why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.
Are you referring to distros? Just pick one that's widely used and that's it.
An absence of major software like ms office. Adobe and autodesk suites
You can use it online. Or, even better, use something like LibreOffice. For adobe and autodesk you're SOL but that's very intentional and it sucks. The only solution is a VM.
and not being able to avoid the command line when shit hits the fan.
I don't really get this. You can't avoid using cmd on windows either when shit goes wrong. There's nothing strange there.
I live in the city and the moonlight is clearly noticeable so I guess it depends. I mean, a city can be considered as such with as little as 50k people so I guess that, statistically, the majority of people that live in a city would most certainly notice the lack of moonlight.
The moon also doesn't emit it's own light. It would take longer for the moon to "disappear" than it would for the sun but it wouldn't be the whole night.
Sorry for not knowing that a game that released 1 month ago makes ray tracing mandatory.
Considering that most gamers don't even have ray tracing capable hardware (at least with decent performance), this seems like a pretty shitty and lazy decision.
My point still stands though. In most games it's not that much better and in the games where it is better, it has a very exaggerated performance impact. Personally, I prefer playing at 100+ fps.
I know this barely means anything but it really is refreshing to have an interaction with someone who not only treats others respectfully but who is also able to admit they didn't know a part of the story.
It's obviously totally fine if you still don't agree with what I said or have other reasons to dislike GN or prefer LTT, but this type of attitude is precisely one of the things Reddit lost a long time ago.
That said, I don’t think we know if LTT knew the entire story at the time.
This is also discussed in MegaLag's video. They did know at least about this issue affecting them, financially. So, they brought it up with Honey, who refused to make any changes. After that, they ended their sponsorship. If they didn't figure out the full extent of the issue, it's because they didn't want to. I doubt you seriously think they didn't have the resources to investigate further.
they would rather avoid the publicity for fear of retaliation, like they stated.
From who? Honey? If so, that's a very mistaken mentality. They basically decided to stay quiet about something that was demonstrably hurting creators and consumers out of sheer selfishness. Coming from linus, who seems to be rather narcissistic, that doesn't surprise me. It does suprise me that this excuse would be accepted by their viewers, who were negatively impacted by this decision. Again, if you see something, say something.
I still think GN goes out of their way to stir drama, whether it’s called for or not
Once again. Has there been an instance where it wasn't called for? I think they just have a very strict moral compass and they respect that regardless of any financial hit or extra work it might cause them. That's something I respect, a lot.
it sure seems like he just has an issue with Linus overall.
Did you read their post? Wouldn't you have a personal issue with someone who says you're autistic, quotes your work without actually quoting you, reaches out to your personal phone over random tweets because they think they're about them and also misrepresent you publicly?
For example, after the GN video, Linus said he reached out to Steve and was ignored. What actually happened was that linus sent a message to Steve's old phone, which they hadn't used for over 2 years. If you want more examples and details, you can read GN's post.
