⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Install Ransomware on Internet-Connected Wrench⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think I am less concerned about the ransomware and more confused as to why there is a wrench that can connect to the internet. What use would that provide to the user that would improve it?

I believe the ice wall thing was a theory proposed by Kent Hovind. Pretty sure he is/was in jail for tax evasion or something? When I was a teenager I ate his young earth creationist stuff up like candy.

I agree that it’s a problem but lithium is not an easy mineral to mine or extract and it leads to a lot of nasty biproducts.

I cycle every day to work and back and see e scooters everywhere, doesn’t bother me none as long as they follow road signage.

Do you have a link to said video? Not because I disagree but because that sounds super interesting to watch.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The WAN show clips weren’t, but it’s also possible that they were zooming in for the sake of keeping the viewers attention.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It’s the constant cut ins and zoom ins on faces throughout the video. I don’t know if mocking is the right term but what I am getting is that this video feels more like a hit piece than a form of investigative journalism that Gamers Nexus is very good at.

It doesn’t feel right to me. But I could just be crazy.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I get the whole video, it has a lot of stuff that is bad for LTT, what bothers me is the editing style. It feels more like a hit piece than a piece of criticism with how the cuts are made. If this was to be a video calling out the behaviour and actions of LTT and their channels I think it could have been edited in a way that didn’t seem to have constant cut ins from various videos mocking them. I could see a different cut done by a different editor that took the whole project seriously that would be more effective.

I’d recommend checking out “Jesus and John Wayne” it’s a book that digs into a lot of these ideas.

I think they are using the term documentary as a joke.

A couple notes on your design. I think it’s a really great step in what could be a really slick skin, my only major gripe is the inconsistency in what you are doing.

I hope this doesn’t come off as being negative or not-picky, but a lot of the elements in your design are clean, but they aren’t completely cohesive.

First thing is padding and spacing. One thing that is really throwing me off is the inconsistent spacing for your text and iconography. Your text labels for each major section are great, but they should be given the same spacing as the icons on the screen. It’s causing my eye to dart around rather than follow the flow of your screen. This also is the case with your week calendar widget, if you moved those bars and days over a bit to the left to be in line with the rest of your design it would be a lot more cohesive.

Almost all of the “problems” that I see with the design could be fixed by building out a grid system and aligning all your objects to it. If you check out the metro design system windows still uses, icons and type all have specific rules for where they go and how they behave. Try to follow those rules and it will definitely improve.

Second and much smaller is a lack of hierarchy. I am not sure what I should be looking at first when I see this. However, because this is a phone screen, it might be very readable for you. I think taking advantage of accent colours would draw your eye to your most used apps and make them easier to tap onto. I think adding a splash of colour or toning to each square would give it a bit more clear sense of what everything goes. iMessage bubbles do this, the colour becomes less saturated the further away the message is from the keyboard, this is a really subtle way of drawing your eye to where the keyboard is.

I think this design is a really good start, but I think with some tweaking, this will be excellent. I would love to see a version 1.1!

I don’t use YouTube music and don’t find the price too absurd considering the average daily watch time I have.

I get where you’re coming from, however I find it is personally easier and it is within my financial means to pay for premium instead. I am aware not everyone can but I am glad I can do that. I also support some creators through Patreon for their YouTube content as well. Currently, I am almost completely ad free with the content I consume and sometimes that means I pay money and other times I use an ad blocker. I should also note that I watch the majority of YouTube on my iPhone or on a PS4 and while there are alternatives on the App Stores I prefer the native YouTube apps.

I know I am gonna be one of the few, but I use YouTube as my main viewing of things. I don’t use Netflix, or any of the other services much. Premium is something I can’t be without anymore tbh, the ad free and downloading is super convenient for me and I like how a lot of my premium subscription goes to the creators I watch the most.
