Prunebutt,

I have a video joke but youtube would demonetize it.

Prunebutt,

Microsoft hired him and apparently that means they’re done? 🤷

Edit: why the downvotes?

Prunebutt,

It’s not too much better with independent, publicly funded media, like in parts of Europe.

Prunebutt, (edited )

In Germany (and other parts of Europe), there are systems in place to prohibit dependence of the broadcasters On the government.

The Austrian broadcasting service (ORF) is known to be quite sceptical of the conservative government. The former chancellor of Austria actually wanted to coopt it, like Orban did in Hungary and failed to do so. That’s basically, why he’s the former chancellor.

You can compare it to the European Central Bank, or the FED.

It’s not resistant to nepotism, but it’s way better than the corporate hellscape you see in the US media.

Prunebutt,

Didn’t Chomsky also note the supposed “left wing bias” in “Manufacturing consent”?

Prunebutt,

I’m not claiming that it’s completely independent. But there are safeguards preventing direct influence of parliament on the media.

So, yes: it depends on the state, but it’s not (directly) influenced by the executive/legislative/judicative branches of government.

Prunebutt,

No, I will not follow “awesomeinventions” for more.

To give the org credit, they found and fixed the problem – a typo in a script, apparently – but as a result, the sequencing of the demos was disrupted and the result was a little confusing.

I’m gonna quote this, the next time my boss asks why we need a thorough testing culture.

Edit: Also: language servers and static code checkers safe money, so don’t hassle me about why I need to config neovim while clocked in.

Prunebutt,

We’ve passed the "Marty McFly came to this year date for existential dread and it was hilarious. Can’t wait for the year when we’re as far from the release of Austin Powers as the movie was from the wild 60s.

Prunebutt,

Thanks for checking wikipedia when I was too lazy to do so. ;)

Prunebutt,

My guess this would be too depressing. Imahine going back to a world before 9/11, 2008, Trump, all that late-stage-capitalism and internet-fascists.

Not telling you about the good old times, it’s just: It’s been fucked up, y’all.

Prunebutt,

I really can’t stand Linux Cast’s style and don’t get why he is on this and not Brodie Robertson.

Linux cast is just rambling most of the time, having a hard time getting to the point, while Brodie has some wit and humor. I also don’t like his clickbait video titles and how every second video feels like it’s about tiling WMs (we get it: tiling WMs are cool).

I’m aware that this might just be an involuntary anti-fat bias speaking, though.

Prunebutt,

They are designed for ergonomics and openly embrace that not every device fits every hand.

Why did you keep using them if they hurt you?

Prunebutt,

Cringe “gamers” outing themselves even more easily?

Prunebutt,

What the guy on the right is doing seems like cultural appropriation of trans catgirl culture.

Prunebutt,

Wow. What an idiotic thing to say.

Also: Good job to not getting the joke.

Prunebutt,

You did.

Prunebutt,

Not sure if ironic, or an incredible idiot.

Prunebutt,

Your idiot take on cultural appropriation made my brain hurt.

Prunebutt, (edited )

Wow. So edgy. /s
