Technology@lemmy.world•Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)English
10·1 year agoI’m laughing at YouTube’s response. I thought that was clear by context… I guess people who didn’t read the article didn’t get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?
Or why are you telling me to STFU?

194·1 year agoI’m laughing at
theirYouTube’s response. Obviously someone used a thesaurus to write it and didn’t know that “incalcitrant” is not even the word, no major dictionaries list it. It’s like using irregardless instead of regardless The wordtheyYouTube wanted is recalcitrant.And it’s very telling that
theyYouTube used that word because it shows they think they are King.Recalicitrant:
Stubbornly resistant to authority or control.
Unwilling to obey orders or to do what should be done.
Resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant.
Edit: I’m laughing at YouTube’s response. I thought that was clear by context… I guess people who didn’t read the article didn’t get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?
Words matter, and by using the one they did, YouTube is basically saying that they demand people obey them.

1·1 year agoAccount sharing is against GGG’s ToS, so Elon should be banned. He probably RMTed it though (still against ToS). He would be fucked during a race though.
In PoE 1: racers stream their entire race. Once a league Zizaran hosts the Gauntlet (HC/SSF) race event, streaming on Twitch (often with a 4-panel split screen). They sub out different races to highlight boss fights and whatnot. You have to provide proof of any “bounty” you won. There are some cash money prizes, so this is all very strict.
During these races, players often have a timer showing how long they’ve been going, and it’s not unusual to see 37 hours of straight streaming the first day. GGG hosts World Firsts events after XPac stuff, and is mindful of exploits.
That is all PoE 1. PoE 2 is in early access; it’s the same people, so it should be the same integrity. I know a lot of Diablo folks came over for it, so I can’t speak for them.

24·1 year agoFuck, lots to unpack here.
Sooooo, that actually is his official portrait? I thought someone posted it as satire. At least he’s not hiding that he’s the villain.
“America we’re back” is his slogan? That and the pic looks after school special.
The loading screen icon is the White House – was it always? Because as a Canadian all it invokes in me is the memory of us burning it down.
Did the constitution page get remapped? Or is it gone, gone?

9·1 year agoThe article quote I linked says sex. If a person is pre-op or not choosing surgery, they will forced to have the wrong gender on their docs.
I’m in Canada, your docs say what you identify as under “sex”.

5·1 year agoThat came out last week I think? Checking…
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgmy7xpw3pyo
Meta and some other cunts removed DEI practices on Jan 10 and Costco said fuck that and kept it.
Of course all of it deserve our attention, but that is why the focus of the comments here is on the gender portion of the EO.

11·1 year agoIf you missed it in the article:
The order… directs the State Department… to “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately,” one of the officials said.
That’s fucking terrible and possibly detrimental for the mental health of trans people.

(Also, in the future maybe post identical bodies/relation to background. There might be some subconscious preference occurring based on subject’s proximity to viewer or foot appearance.)

Technology@lemmy.world•How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | TechCrunchEnglish
1·1 year agoI turfed FB in 2015 as well (didn’t bother with the other stuff).
But now I’m worried I deactivated it and didn’t delete… I cannot remember.
If it’s just deactivated-- I wonder if it’s better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It’s been dead a decade.
What do people suggest?
And once again the media is creating apologetic headlines. I guess they want people to only realize the leopards ate their faces when they only have their Lying Eyes left.
