And yet, we got 2 mario movies and a minecraft movie in the past 5 years.

Portal is a game, it’s only fun because YOU are playing it. Unless this strays massively from the source material I don’t see how this could be more than ‘ok’.

If CAs are compromised than it doesn’t matter where your traffic is routed.

If it does happen it will pump another billion into bell’s pocket so they can lay off 50% of their employees.

More? More than what, zero? Where I live there is Bell, Rogers, Cogego, or Teksavvy (who is forced to pay inflated prices and can not compete).

Canada is 3 telecos and an oil company in a trench coat.

If you don’t trust TLS you are out of luck. Maybe rent a server in the country you wish to talk to and tunnel over SSH with the new eliptic curve keys.

Why?

No really. Unless you are browsing sites that do no use HTTPS or you are running applications that do not encrypt traffic (not very common) it really doesn’t matter where your traffic goes before it reaches the destination. Yes they US could throttle traffic or cut us off but that is several orders of magnitude more nuanced than trump will ever pull off.

Cool, now fix internet and cell prices to match europe and asia. I do not give a shit where my encrypted traffic gets routed if it costs 5x as much as the rest of the world.

Do you always stand next to the dumbest kid in class so you look better? Canada is getting fucked over from the inside as much as it is from the outside. We need politicians who are not invertibrate bottom feeders.

I’m in that loop as well. I get very few slop recommedations but lots of stuff from 10 or more years ago mixed in with new videos.

Some of these guys rarely upload anymore but the stuff they have uploaded is brilliant. I tried to pick guys who are least likely to show up on the main-stream of recommendations.

Almost exclusively maker/hacker/science guys with some animators/artists mixed in. Checking the users with the lowest subscriber counts they have either not posted in years or I have watched their most recent uploads :/

Using ai for their b-roll, using ai for diagrams, using ai for voiceovers. Basically admitting that they are no longer willing to invest their time into a project that they expect me to watch.

I have heard that many times but have not observed it first hand, when a user posts after years of absence it shows up in my list. And when I remember a user that I have not seen in years and I check them directly there aren’t any videos that I have missed. Maybe they are doing something on a per-user basis to drive engagement.

The ‘Subscribed’ section has gone pretty much untouched for almost 20 years. There is a highlights thing now but from there down it’s ONLY what you want.

When I’m logged in I get a slop suggestion about 1 in 20 times, nearly all of them are obvious ripoffs of commercial science-tubers.

I’ve tried browsing logged out on a PC at work and it’s at least 50% slop, with the other half being clickbait products, lists, and tiktok style crap. Like every site that has ‘user generated’ content, it’s only good when it’s curated.

I think it’s because if they did this in a house a wife or mother would be yelling at them in the background.

The guy who helped write up Project 2025. I’d like to thank him with a brick.

Thanks Trudeau and Carney! It would be nice if ANY of our politicians were not puppets for businesses and foreign interests!
