Okay, I'm going to go on a bit of a rant now, and it's nothing against this particular creator. But at some point I have to put my foot down and say: No. Fuck this video.

I don't know who started this damn trend, but I'm so tired of these unnecessarily long videos. Your video should never be 4, 5 or even 6 hours long. What the fuck! Amazing documentaries have been made for decades and they never reached that amount of time. There is no reason why a video should be 6 hours long. I have other shit to do. At some point, just publish a book...

And I know, that sweet retention time. But you can't convince me you had so much to say and that everything in this video is so important that nothing couldn't be taken out. I don't believe you. I don't need to click on this video to know it could be two and a half hours long at best. And if really, you have that much to say? Cut that shit into a series, then!

Look, I already find it hard to watch a 30 minute video essay. Because most of the time, it doesn't need to be that long and the person making it just won't get to the damn point.

Like, let's say I'm watching a video about a game. If I'm watching this, chances are I already know the game. Or at least, just give some brief context. You don't have to "but actually... whats's a video game?" me and then to go into thé whole fucking history of video games and tell me about how life was for the developer when they was a sperm in someone's balls...

I'll say this though, I used to make videos. I would write, record and edit the whole thing on my own. So a six hours long project? Yeah, I respect the hell out of that. But at some point, you need to think of the viewer. It's unreasonable to ask someone to take this much time to do anything in their day. Cut it into multiple parts, I know chapters are a thing but YouTube remembering where I stopped watching is far too inconsistent for that.

It feels so good to see countries not tolerating the far right. As a French, they're basically everywhere now, everyone on talks like the Far Right on TV, now. My country has gotten so complacent with it...

I hope Germany keeps doing this and more act accordingly.

I'm still shocked by the fact that people actually like or even trust Nothing when, personally, the company gives me nothing but bad vibes since the very beginning. This tech-bro-crypto-bullshit / Elon Musk-esque / Cybertruck-esque marketing and attitude is a massive red flag to me. Can't say I'm surprised about this.

So, if WhatsApp eventually fails, can we accept for at least just this once, to move on to something that is not proprietary and owned by a large company, please? Please, for the love of everything can we please for once move on to something that is open source and for just this once not repeat the same fucking mistake over and over again?

I would love to. But when you’re stuck in perpetual minimum wage and your rent alone is costing you at least half of that… yeah. I am not arguing by the way, you’re absolutely right, it’s just that, for a lot of people, myself included, dare I say, the vast majority of people people, this is not something that is possible.

I wonder how they're going to announce it at their keynote. Because Apple was strong armed into doing this they didn't want to. At all. They kicked and screamed the whole way but they did comply.

So. Will they present it as an evolution like they almost invented the thing? Will they be passive aggressive about it? Or will they just say nothing about it.

I'm also expecting Apple to basically use the worst USB-C standard possible, which, just like Lightning, will basically be USB 2 in terms of speeds and so on. At least on the non-pro models. :/

I remember the conspiracy theory that was going on in the right wing circles of the internet a few years ago, where people like Tim Pool were saying that the blue checkmark was an attempt from Twitter to create a "privileged class on Twitter"...

All of those people are the ones that Elon's been pandering so hard to and look at Twitter now.

Why is it with these people, that them who cry wolf so often, also turns out to be the wolves so often?

What kind of a fucking broken human somehow reaches the conclusion that Twitter is competently handled?

...and the subreddit rebellion has been foiled. The remaining locked subreddits will be hunted down and defeated!

The attempt on my credibility by the Apollo dev has left me scarred, and deformed. But I assure you: My resolve... has never been stronger!

— u/spez to potential investors. Maybe. Probably. Might be slightly paraphrased.

Tearing down women's rights. Ruining queer people's life, especially trans people. Making sure children can't eat for free. Wow. Quite the priorities over at the Republican party.

I'm not American, I've just been looking from afar for a long time now. But from everything I'm seeing... it feels like they're going to be in for quite the rude awakening in 2024.

“Game dev here,” Carlone writes, adding that they are a “big fan” of Dreamcast Guy. “Wanted to clarify: it’s not a sign of an unfinished game. It’s a choice. 60fps on this scale would be a large hit to the visual fidelity. My guess is they want to go for a seamless look and less ‘pop in.’ And of course, [it’s] your right to dislike the choice.”

Sure. Maybe. It could be this. Or...

Arm-chair babbling idiot who plays too much video games here, I am one hundred percent convinced that it has nothing to do with visual fidelity and everything to do with that asthmatic engine they've been dragging since Morrowind. Can't prove it but... you know. Just a hunch I get from playing their games.
