dusk

It’s a long time ago, I don’t remember the specifics of the video, and probably didn’t like his video (partially) due to it being just another one jumping on the ltt screwdriver bandwagon, that sh*t was everywhere, I tend to block channels that have linus’s munted head in their thumbnails these days.

I do remember jeff having a weird bunch of fans hanging off of his every word, I wondered who this guy was, and why he seemed so famous, but I had never heard of him. I have seen some of his videos since, he seems like a twat, unfortunately common in the pc tech space.

The 1st part: obviously yes

The 2nd part: obviously no, and that is so apathetic and short-sighted.

So he has ungoogled chromium, and floorp as top tier, uses them, but doesn’t see them as the best

Then he has vivaldi, watefox, librewolf, and zen in 2nd tier, but they are the best ones?

It’s like a tier list on reddit, someone just wanting to look at the pretty pictures while not making much sense

Some obvious omissions too: firedragon, mullvad, tor, ddg

Definitely worthy of negative feedback.

I don’t shop at target. Your lack of standards doesn’t make me better than you, it makes you worse than me.

ai will be the death of open source.

/trash

Amazon drivers have no reason to be near my home, we have standards.

ungoogled chromium and floorp were the top tier, only one of them is ff based, neither one of them is new, both are weird choices for the top.

*slop source

open source needs to be better

The majority of governments are at least partially at the mercy of the usa government in this respect though, easily one of the most absurd, and corrupt governments on the planet.

Didn’t every single option in that ‘vote’ include using ai though?

And didn’t they all seem like very deliberately long winded options, designed knowing that the majority of users would only read the titles?

Also fuck_ai@lemmy.world

and antiaialliance@lemmy.blahaj.zone (maybe ignore this one though)

Get back to me when you need to replace your ram :P

One of the reasons I went with AM4 was platform maturity, at the time AM5 was new (launched sept 2022).

My prices are in aud btw (if you didn’t notice).

Bigger number better is also not how I do things, and it isn’t the direction that tech should have moved.

My choices of a 5700x and a 6800 (non xt) were very deliberate due to performance/efficiency. I could have easily gone to a x3d and a higher end graphics card.

I have no regrets about what I chose, aside from I should have just gone with a b series board, and maybe a different case, I wanted a non glass case that could hold at least 3 hdd’s, and (at least in Australia) that was more difficult than it should have been, due ot silly people and their silly lights = glass sided cases being the norm. I ended up with a Be Quiet Silent Base 802, which is okay, but could be better, and could be smaller (I should have originally bought 2x 8,10, 02 12Tb hdd’s, instead of 3x 6Tb)

It was a successful/cheap way of attracting views/likes, that also increased ltt’s screwdriver sales. It was transparent, and lacked integrity. The screwdriver itself was just a lightly reworked screwdriver form a different brand, with ltt branding, and a $69 price tag. Tools for fools.

Project Farm did it worse (and more successfully), he reached a result that didn’t place the ltt screwdriver in 1st place, so he removed one of his own criteria to change the final ranking… and was applauded for doing so.

Objectivity sounds like a really good thing, until it is just apathy.

8 butt is probably more my style

The manual, section 1:

Jeff never made sense to me, his videos seemed dodgy, the first one I saw he was jumping on the linus screwdriver silly hype train, but his fans just adored him, to the point I assumed some of them were drooling. I didn’t see much more of him over the years, so my view is definitely limited.
