He’s been accused of, admitted to, and proven that he is paid off and goes more for entertainment/engagement than actual reviews of products. There are thousands of tech reviewers on YouTube doing honest work, I’ll always downvote the openly dishonest ones

Image is exactly why I’m afraid to eat alone, have some asshole take a picture of me and post it online

It’s just every thread man, every one of them devolves into it and I’m so tired. It’s quite literally like the Good Place where even the act of buying a tomato will get people raging in the comments about how apparently you support climate change, slavery, and every other bad thing involved in the growing of it. Or, hear me out, I just bought a tomato. I’m just so tired of it here

Your take is more nuanced than most I see here and I appreciate that, see the other comment as a prime example.

God you hit the nail on the head, and why I’m getting very annoyed here on Lemmy. People refuse to have nuanced takes and just comment incessantly about how people are evil and doing anything makes you a bad person. Turns out people are nuance, and we can judge them as such. You can say he did some terrible things to make Microsoft successful while also saying he has done some very good things with his fortune. It is not black and white.

Setting aside all the consumerism comments I’m sure my fellow Lemmy users will fill us in about - you don’t want any black Friday deals. I worked electronics retail for almost a decade and saw it.

Black Friday “deals” aren’t percentages off products you want. For the most part they are shittier models with a letter different from their normal model number. These special black Friday models are made with parts that failed qa or just all around are cheaper. The companies don’t just magically take 20% off, they plan for it.

That $100 dollar 48" flat screen? Yeah it’s worth $100. Hope it was worth giving up time in your holidays to buy, because there’s a decent chance you’ll be returning it when it breaks.

(Tip for those buying tvs. Super bowl is the best time of year to buy a TV. They’re the actual good models and it’s the best sales of the year. Stores are in the post holiday slump and eager to move them.)

Thank God they put the sarcasm there at the bottom

Zoey Deschanel 's she and him album. On repeat. All month. I was there, man

Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

Not offended. Annoyed that on every thread here it devol es into politics and becomes a depressing place. I know the world is depressing and the everything is politics GM but goddamn I found this comic sweet, I followed xkcd through the cancer years, and someone saying “must be nice to have money” really feels disrespectful to them. Yeah, it probably did help, and yeah, our country sucks, but can we just have a nice comic for once that celebrates them making it through cancer? Why does every comment section on Lemmy have to have someone saying “Hey look! The system is fucked!”. I know it is! That’s why I was here trying to enjoy something for a few seconds!

Jfc this is exactly why people run to the right, because so many people on the left can’t let anything be a nice moment without making sure everyone knows that they’re the most moral person in the room. We all already know the problems.

Stop virtue signalling. It’s transparent, annoying, and hurts the causes more than helps.

Right? If he doesn’t like it he can just go make his own store with all the AI he wants…

but the vast majority of crawlers don’t care to do that. That’s a very specific implementation for this one problem. I actually did work at a big scraping farm, and if they encounter something like this,they just give up. It’s not worth it to them. That’s where the “worthiness” check is, you didn’t bother to do anything to gain access.

Great, other companies have thought the same and they’re sheepishly realizing that’s not realistic. Let us know how it goes

I didn’t know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while

SEO ruined the Internet

That’s counting on one machine using the same cookie session continuously, or they code up a way to share the tokens across machines. That’s now how the bot farms work

ah we’re all learning together :)

I was a single server with only me and 2 others or so, and then saw that I had thousands of requests per minutes at times! Absolutely nuts! My cloud bill was way higher. Adding anubis and it dropped down to just our requests, and bills dropped too. Very very strong proponent now.

Part of the territory I guess, but hey thanks :) If you ever need help debugging a game on Linux I’ll be sure to help out! I guess I won’t recommend protondb first though?
