[Added information: LTT say they were unaware Honey was mistreating users. So they had no reason to make a video at the time they dropped Honey for mistreating them.]

I don’t think this topic was worth them making a main channel video on

Their viewers getting scammed by tech they promoted isn't worth a video on their main channel? If they could legally do it I think they should have.

Some very vocal people on Lemmy just love hating on LTT

LTT have made mistakes (edit: and made choices/comments I would disprove of) but the dunking here does seem disproportionate.

non disparagement clause

Not the level of a non-compete clause but that's a scummy thing I hope is not legal.

I find it difficult to choose a motherboard because they all look shady. aSUS should be criticized for creating a bad app and installing it without consent but I feel like this could have been any other motherboard manufacture.

An unsolicited Christmas card through a letterbox would have at least been less worrying.

It's difficult for others to take advantage of you when you can learn what the software actually does and have it modified to work another way.

Linux (for the most part) is open source but I'd argue the inclusion of any proprietary software/firmware/drivers means something ultimately isn't.

Their profiles don't look like obvious bots :/

In a never-ending arms race what can they hope to achieve by imprisoning a minority just in case they're more likely to be a spy?

Would like to see attempts to approach cheating in a non-hopeless way.

I can only imagine it's what someone uninformed on tech would want.

Stop bad thing, help children. What? Consequences?

Two ::: spoiler spoiler dickheads ::: are better than one

It will be great to see more PC hardware reviews with Linux in mind.

Does SteamOS offer something significant over other GNU+Linux distributions? Waiting for it to release as a catalyst to start including Linux seems a bit odd. I hope it won't be like waiting for Half Life 3.

Lacking in what ways?

If that's the computing you want to do then power to ya. I'd rather the software running on my machine do what I want, rather than work around it doing what someone else wants.

I assume having your own chat room with your friends would mean self hosting?

Planned obsolescence is a symptom of something which is, or aught to be, in your top 10 issues with big tech.

No worries. Think I'll call myself an author as the source code is a text that can amount to a copyrighted work.

Hopefully this will not conflict with another field and and we can put this issue to rest.

I want groups with "Open" in their name who make software to make it "Open source".

One is to view free firmware as desirable but not necessary

I can't make firmware but I hope the people who can make free (libre) firmware don't give up, which is what that position sounds like.

It's interacting in our country, meaning we can do more than only "don't use it". When the platform is so massive, has little competition, or most other platforms do the same thing in question.. maybe we should do more.

Might be a good time to change domain while you're at it, if .io is about to be retired.
