And why would one terrorist (or even a bunch) warrant leveling a hospital full of civilians anyway? You know where they are (supposedly), why not gas them out or something, unless they aren’t the real target …

And if they do see it, he forces them to sign an NDA so he can threaten to sue the shit out of them to keep them silent.

Well, they also have them harassing houseless individuals. Trump has been using the poor as a way to desensitize people to armed troops in the streets, because I’m sure Miller is rock hard just thinking about rounding up everyone that:

1. didn’t vote Trump

2. non-white

Saw video of him and Vance getting boo’d and you could just see his lust for bloodshed. And Trump is completely checked out at this point, because he just doesn’t have enough neurons firing to do anything but cheat at golf.

Not a boomer, but was in Uni in '99. The '99/00 new year was a wild time because everyone waited to see if something had its update missed that would cause mass chaos.

In the end nothing of consequence happened.

Double check that math. 😜 It feels like only a few years ago, and it being a quarter century seems impossible.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is narrowing the capabilities and reducing the number of next-generation weather and climate satellites it plans to build and launch in the coming decades …

And just like that, the US bows out of another scientific segment we could have been leaders in. It also would be cool if an asshole with a 4 year term wasn’t able to screw us all for generations so easily.

Yeah, I’m glad we are dumping our money into dying industries like coal, and pollution heavy industries like oil.

If there is anything left of the US when Trump is done it’s going to take generations to 180° the country out of its death march. I’m guessing we’ll have destroyed the earth to the point we need to go full Wall-E by that point.

Well the US is doing our share to speed us to the end game through deregulation of anything environmental, and “drill baby drill”.

It’s like a bad movie you already know how it’s going to end right from the beginning, and now you’re just stuck watching until the end hoping to be wrong.

Indeed. It is somewhat similar to when man messes up an ecosystem either by introducing an invasive species, or decimating a species in an area. It doesn’t affect everything, everywhere, but can severely change a local ecosystem in ways that may not be obvious.

A great example of this is how the wolves in Yellowstone changed the whole ecosystem of the park, both with the wolves removal, and again with their reintroduction.

Fair enough, I just can’t imagine for me anything Jay could have put in that video that I would need any commentary done on it. Jay is a Windows/hardware guy making a Linux video for fun, trying to make it something it isn’t is disingenuous, and if I even knew who this guy was I would avoid his content going forward as he clearly is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

But I guess to each their own, a lot of people watch the slop which is why the bots/AI bros are flooding YouTube with videos. This is just one more video added to the mix.

Never heard of them, and their site doesn’t leave me filled with confidence. They make a big deal about using a slower algorithm, call it zero trust, but also have a client that mounts your “drive” local seamlessly. In order to do that though your files need to be unencrypted before your OS can read them. So the client needs to be constantly encrypting and decrypting your files since it hypothetically has zero knowledge of your files at rest on their server.

I could see files getting scrambled/corrupted when it’s being uploaded and downloaded in rapid succession.

Edit - You also shouldn’t consider it a backup if you’re accessing the files constantly like Dropbox. You are essentially just paying for a mountable S3 drive, not a backup.

Yep, this is a low effort video that had no real need to be made except to get clicks. It’s like when Linus does his random Linux videos every couple of years, there is absolutely no value in making a “reaction video” about them. Nothing he says in those videos could be worth the creator’s time, OR the viewers time.

Your agreement is we need these low effort, low value videos, and I strongly disagree. You might as well make “reaction videos” about whatever stupid shit Mr. Beast is doing, same amount of value. Garbage in -> garbage out.

Not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying low effort “reaction videos” based on a video that is outside of a content creator’s normal subject matter expertise is a waste of time and should not be given the amount of attention everyone seems to be.

If this was actually public commentary I would have no issue, my issue is this video is no better than the bot/AI slop videos flooding YouTube.

Your argument is solid, you are absolutely a connoisseur of low effort videos.

But who even cares that much about Jay doing a Linux video? Jay isn’t known as a Linux guru, or even a Linux novice. He makes Windows centric gaming videos around the latest PC hardware. Him doing a video on Linux is the same as Linus (LTT) doing a Linux challenge, if watching it knowing you’re not going to see anything of real value go ahead, but making a “reaction video” about it is just chasing clicks and should not be rewarded.

A rolling release is probably better long term. Arch for example currently has Nvidia drivers as far back as for Fermi (GeForce 400/500) cards.

These “reaction videos” are just a step above the bot slop videos. They contribute nothing of value and watching them helps to hurt the platform and overall quality of videos for everyone. But sure, I’m the “L” for expecting a higher standard.

Ugh another “reaction video”. Downvote and make original material.

Yeah, Trump has no spine, but he is used to dunking on people less fortunate/in need/having morals. When you give zero shits about anyone in this world besides yourself and your daughter you want to fuck, it makes it really easy to just declare yourself tough while beating up the little guys. He has used daddy’s money, lawsuits, and NDAs to carry him through his whole life.

And Trump only cares because he campaigned on ending the war in a day, and has been made to look a fool over and over again by Putin. It’s why him and Vance are so into shitting on Zelensky, Ukraine needs/wants US weapons/help, and Putin doesn’t, giving them no leverage of any kind with Russia. And the Right feels that toxic masculinity when they can shit on people in need.
