I thought the narrator sounded familiar. Their videos on displays of different kinds are utterly mesmerizing. What an unreasonably high quality channel.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” - Jean-Paul Sartre .
Same shit different target

Every time I see this meme I think of Urban Rescue Ranch doing literally that

Reminds me of an episode of Common Sense by Dan Carlin from yeeears ago that basically said “the system is corrupt and voters aren’t able to command our politicians to do what we want, so what if we just pool money together and bribe them too?”

If you buy one they will announce a new one, if you don’t they will not lol

It was probably Dave or somebody he worked with lol. Super interesting videos talking about tech stuff, windows, and what MS was like during his time

Wow this is huge! Most of my experience with Inkscape has been modifying designs for cutting with a Cricut and 1.3 has a handful of game changing features that were sorely missing.

I miss this little fucker like you wouldn’t believe

Fuck yeah king gizzard

Samsung has always seemed like the reliable (albeit expensive) option to me. I personally went with a 2TB Sabrent NVMe because it was on sale and it hasn’t failed me yet.

It’s been a long time since I was on blind but I recall them asking you to provide your work email to verify your employer. Don’t recall them actually sending anything so not entirely sure how it verified. Blind is definitely a mixed bag of a platform, super toxic with people dick measuring over TC but also decent for getting word of what’s coming your way (layoffs, etc)

I make a mental note to avoid a company and their products whenever I see an ad. If I want your thing, I will seek it out. You wanna entice me to buy it? Go make your blogpost demonstrating why yours is better than the alternatives I’m looking at.

Kind of? It’s certainly companies actively moving towards shittier services at the same time as others, but I don’t think it’s as much of explicit and intentional collusion as it is high school clique prom politics and VC money drying up post rate hikes. There’s more of a focus by investors on generating profit over growth at this point because money is no longer free. The safest play for a lot of these boardrooms is to not stand out as a company not realigning priorities to reflect this.

Facebook did layoffs? Okay we have too as well or we’re not in the same big boy class as facebook. … See? We’re safe, money please

Ahhh so that’s why the user count jumped 😅 https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=7

Pretty sure it’s hexbear joining back into mainline lemmy

Hey be glad you had insurance because otherwise you’d be paying $293,725,252,748

They’ve also forced r/Steam to reopen or be replaced by powermods https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/14bvwe1/rsteam_and_reddits_new_policies/

Admittedly I haven’t read much from them in the last year or two but usually ars is consistently good

TL;DR both of them speak the same language so both can call each other up and trade info back and forth. You can upvote/comment/whatever on either and it’ll appear on both sides without you having to do anything special.

It doesn’t all go back to lemmy, but lemmy and kbin speak the same language (ActivityPub) and can talk to each other (they are federated). Others in this thread have compared it to email where you might be on different services (gmail, yahoo, icloud) but they can still all understand messages coming from each other. The fediverse is similar, but instead of just sending a message to another site to put in your inbox like email, lemmy/kbin/mastodon/etc can ask each other for stuff on an external site and display it to you as if it was all coming from the same site.
In our case kbin calls up lemmy.world and asks for what everybody there is saying on some post. Lemmy.world tells kbin about all the comments and upvotes so kbin can plug it into the same style of page you see for everything else here. Even though it’s happening on a separate server and underlying platform, they still know how to exchange data

Kbin is federated with a bunch of the lemmy servers as well. If you look at the address of the post it’s kbin/m(agazine)/lemmyworld@lemmy.world, so we’re seeing a post from the LemmyWorld community (called magazines on kbin) on the lemmy server https://lemmy.world/

I promise it makes sense after a while lol

edit: the users of lemmy can also see what we say over here on kbin because kbin and lemmy talk to each other. This post lives on that lemmy instance
