That’s how I watch it as well. I think the benefit of the YT clips is that the editors crop in news articles to bolster his claims w/ factual evidence. It’s like a built-in fact checker confirmer

I agree re: China. Terrible takes.

I’m a fan and catch YT recaps of topics he covers that I find interesting.

I will say though that he, as a political influencer, is beholden to his target demographic in the same way that Fox News captivates/gets held captive by its more fervent supporters. It’s a crude analogy, but my understanding is that the ideals of journalism is to follow the news, while influencers follow the engagement.

It is interesting getting his insights and hearing a knowledgeable person speak on the issues, but it isn’t the same as getting news from a true blue journalist imo

I agree 100%. Liberals retweeting how Elon is losing money is actually making him money

There’s an irony seeing Redditors creating threads and complaining about it as if they did anything during the API-gate saga

OTA antennae for sports.

For streaming, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.

My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it.

I live by myself so I don’t have as much pushback as you likely would FYI

Earlier this month I finally disconnected the wifi for my 7 year old Roku TV. I miss being able to turn it on w/ voice activation but I’ll trade that in for my privacy

what’s the min-sys requirements for a good experience?

I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling

I use it. I think it was a hardening recommendation from lynis IIRC.

I definitely experienced a lot more freezing on my laptop after installing it (it’s a memory hog) so I upped my swap and things are back to normal.

Probably not for me as I’m not interested in a summarizing tool, but I’m not against AI in general.

OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.

Probably because you can pay for a month and download all the wallpapers and cancel.

Arrested Development & Frasier for wit.

Friends and also the Chicago version of Friends (Happy Endings) for familiarity, knowing and growing w/ characters.

Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE

No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find will show all the examples of ls that use find. If you remove ~find, then it shows all examples of ls.

I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more for readability):

function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }

Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.

• They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
• They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky

Repeat ad-nauseum

Internet points since they’re of equal value.

This is literally part of Kamala Harris’ campaign? Are you not-American or just not-informed? https://portside.org/2024-08-23/kamala-harris-5-trillion-tax-plan

I rarely downvote, but this is one of the few comments that are truly unproductive and meaningless. You earned it.

I just want to point out that, reading between the lines, the solutions that would make a difference to change immigration are:

• Solve climate change
• Undo the compounding effects of a war that destroyed a country
• Jail people who hire undocumented immigrants

Your first solution requires Republicans to believe in climate change (and Independents like Joe Manchin not to get in the way and water down the bill that passed). Your second solution requires investing billions in developing countries to right our wrongs and your third sounds like a Republican talking point.

This is why I push back on the narrative that oversimplifies immigrataion as Republicans and Dems equally don’t care about immigration.
