This Futurama joke makes more sense now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qAur04gWg3s

I worked at a company which did the gay pride logo switch.

I know it doesn’t mean much from people but the ones who pushed changing the logos were from our LGBT employees.

I haven’t used Amazon in such a long time but I figured they would have made it better with LLMs and stuff.

what’s funny is that I built that into my routine and I try to have conversations during family get-togethers

My parents seem to have broken that routine when smartphones came about will check their phone at the dinner table … my brother just has Reddit out all the time and scrolls if he feels the slightest bit bored. His kids are watching YouTube on the TV but they like talking … but he doesn’t feel the need to engage. His wife doesn’t seem to be all that engaged. Could be either due to him being on his phone all the time or doesn’t have much to say …

What about if you had to train your overseas replacement?

You know how much Blippi, Wiggles, Brain rot Minecraft/Roblox, Ryan’s World I had to go through before we finally watched some Bluey?

Oh my goodness, Bluey is actually good too, it’s wild.

Especially given that it’s easier to fix this planet than to terraform the Moon or Mars.

If you’ve never seen Michael Hanake movies then it’s hard to describe. It’s not like horror like any of the others just getting us to confront things were uncomfortable with.

It’s an experience, it’s kinda horror but not really. Stars Antonio Banderas.

I still don’t know what mogging (sp?) is and I’m not sure I want to …

I skimmed it but anyone that’s been or going to go to these places call me if they still ask for a tip :P

I would love those but I have blinds and am all thumbs with DIY. I have a sleeping mask and it works pretty good.

I’ve seen a few of his more recent clips. He’s still playing games on livestream and giving out advice. Obviously with a much smaller audience.

I’ve never really followed him that closely to begin with. I would like to think he’s a good guy that has dumb opinions on certain topics. However, I also don’t care enough to dig into it deeper.

I curate my feed too. I also watch only one short or have to select it myself. I refuse to scroll shorts one after the other.

To add onto this, I had to look up:

Daguerreotype[note 1] was the first publicly available photographic process, widely used from the 1830s to 1850s. “Daguerreotype” also refers to an image created through this process.

I think I’m miscommunicating it. You know how sometimes you feel as though you understand a topic until you have to explain it? :D

This video talks about it.

He talks about a Discord server where they pay people to do it. Not like editors or employees which are perfectly fine and make sense, but to hire other people to do it:

https://discord.com/invite/clipping

If you clip their stuff they’ll you via their campaigns through that Discord server. It’s to game the algorithm to make people think that other people are really interested in this to push them up the charts.

He brings up a good point in the video where he talks about how this should be considered advertising as opposed to natural content and labelled as such but laws around this are not clear.

What is minimalism to you? (asking sincerely)

Yup. It came out that Clavicular has been funded by Peter Thiel. I was watching a guy do a marketing breakdown of a “clip farms”. Where top streamers pay people to clip their videos and upload them to flood the algorithm. PirateSoftware, Asmongold … like a lot of streamers use this service to surface to the top.

I think he did a breakdown of Clavicular and he was like, someone has poured a lot of money into getting this guy noticed.

Ah right, I’ll delete the post. It’s a shame they don’t post news articles.

Thanks!

I mean, there’s info about bill itself is here: https://laweconcenter.org/resources/the-compete-act-californias-hostile-takeover/

In terms of what bigger companies are doing to stop it, there’s not much outside of More Perfect Union. I generally like their reporting, but I don’t have more on this. You’re right to be skeptical too.

There’s no hate like Christian love.
