Are you joking…? I didn’t find anything online 😅

There were kinda three separate things that rolled together, mind you, I’m not especially in the know about any of them, so hopefully others can expand

1. the auctioned something that was supposed to be a small company’s prototype water block or something, it wasn’t theirs to sell
2. they started making too many errors in their rush to do large scale testing and when people make decisions based on the incorrect info you’re putting out thats not great
3. there was an employee who used to work at LTT after being a fan who they built a PC for (maddison, I think?). When the other two items above were brought up by gamer’s nexus and it turned into a whole situation where people were being critical of LTT, she shared that she had an absolutely horrible experience working there, crazy crunch time, I think there was sexual harassment or something, I don’t recall all the details. She explained she didn’t share it sooner because she expected people would just turn on her for criticizing LTT and it makes sense she would feel more able to share if people seem like they might be more receptive to criticism of a huge channel like that

The first two that were brought up in an bombshell gamer’s nexus video were, imo, handled very poorly, though again, I don’t remember details

The last item I’m honestly not sure how it panned out but my impression is that nothing really happened with it. LTT was gonna transfer CEO to being a new guy with Linus being more of a face and direction guy, and the new CEO guy I think was the one who had an outside investigation of some kind conducted. I don’t think there was ever an update about that investigation? I dunno. I didn’t watch much before the whole situation and just kinda stopped watching when the initial criticism from gamer’s nexus was poorly handled

As more of an art and design person than a technical one, yeah almost undoubtedly, though I can’t think of specific examples

But I really appreciate the work that goes into a beautiful logo, typography, or UI, and that will often sway me, probably more than it should

Void’s beautiful logo/logotype is what originally got me interested in it as a distro, and the only reason I’m not using it now is cause I’m a dummy and minimal distros require I use my brain a lot more than I’ve thus far been willing to get my computer up and going

Thank you for correcting me :)

Nope, I didn’t, thank you for correcting me :)

I’m a lot better about reading the article than I used to be but sometimes I still don’t and just wanna chat about stuff with folks, and in this case that’s my bad

I don’t play, I just watch pro and pekinwoof, but yeah that sounds pretty miserable 😅

Wouldn’t the security risk be that if someone thinks the old user is still using that email address, or forgets, they may mistakenly send sensitive into to the person who now has the address…?

Am I missing something?

ಠ⁠-ಠ

Nacent revelations allege that Donald sucked off “Bubba” (presumably Bill Clinton, former US president) and that Putin has pics.

What…?

Fucking Christ…

Is there some drama going on with the great British baking show right now…?

I took a look at the link and I’m not sure how to use it, it looks like the instances don’t really get reviews, but instead get endorsements that function like upvotes?

I also didn’t see any way to look up the instance you wanna learn more about community sentiment on. I’m not sure if that site quite fufills my needs

I’m glad I could help, I hope you have a lovely day! ☺️

Aldi and harbor freight are both good options. Aldi makes no political campaign donations, and harbor freight doesn’t make any as a company, but their senior employees apparently have only donated to democrats.

If you wanna check somewhere the Goods Unite Us app or website are very helpful

!goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca used to be pretty active but it pretty much entirely died down

If anyone else knows companies with a good track record throw them in the thread :)

I really wish we had ways of reviewing instances. It’d be hard to build in a way that was helpful and resistant to manipulation or mobbing though

Thank you, I try ☺️

I’ve been thinking on another post about the fediverse and its culture lately (different vein from the last one though), but we’ll see if I ever actually sit down and write it all out 😅

Hope you have a good one! Its always lovely to see your name and icon around

And thats okay! I appreciate that the smaller size of this platform makes it easier to see and remember the human behind the screen than it is on unbelievably massive platforms like reddit, and part of that humanity that it helps you remember is that people have bad days, get shit wrong, and sometimes don’t put their best foot foreward, even when they post a lot- such is being human :)

Blaze’s reply is pretty much my reasoning

The fediverse includes a lot of things, but I’m really specifically talking about the way that reddit culture carries over to lemmy/mbin/piefed, and how we choose to build the new culture here

I don’t think the person I was replying to meant any harm or anything, but I do think its always worth reflecting on what aspects of the culture from proprietary platforms we do or don’t wanna carry over. And in this case, the mentality of disapproval for frequent posters is one I don’t think we should carry with us to this new space, even if its shaped similarly to reddit :)

This looks fantastic! will it possible to use purely locally as just an android app in the future?

I think for a lot of folks it might be nice to have the option to just eschew self hosting for synchronization and just use local storage, and then have a route to expanding and adding muti device ability should they go set up a server ☺️
