  Yeah, you last part us on point. This is for smaller demographic while the subscribers of his YT channel is more average tech enthusiasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying for wallpapers is just not justifiable to me, especially when there are so many sources that offer high quality wallpapers for free, from apps to dedicated forums to simply online search.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Excuse for layoff. What I hear from the article is a CEO, who himself is not a grown up, crying me, me, me, my company, my profit, selfish behavior without any concern for his employees who have largely contributed to his startup success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vote. You don’t have to vote for Biden or Trump, you can write in a vote or choose a third party or independent candidate on the ballot, if your State allows it. Not for the reason of making practical change, because it won’t in a two party system, but to show the analytics, media, the ruling power that you don’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Anyone that says otherwise does not know what democracy means and supports a broken system through enabling. Local votes ate more important IMO, always vote for that. The more informed you are, the less likely you are to support a broken system.

  Thanks for sharing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the actual point of a bra?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having 36G breasts, does it cause back pain? If so, how do you manage it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spain sentences 15 schoolchildren over AI-generated naked images⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not also go after these software companies for allowing such images to be generated. i.e allowing AI generated images of naked bodies on uploaded images to real people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is this the right way to establish boundaries with my nosy coworkers at the hospital?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You absolutely can go have lunch elsewhere. I’ve been in similar situation. If asked, you can simply tell them, I enjoy having lunch by myself, it helps me recharge. Also, most of the time, boundaries are set through action not only words. Just do what you prefer without the concern of what others will think or feel, while being polite with your words. Most people will pick up on you actions and eventually leave up be. I’ve had serious boundary issues in my family and I’ve had to learn quite a bit about forming proper sustainable boundaries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or generated with AI like midjourney, therefore, made with AI.

  There a huge difference between the two, yet, no clear distinction when all lumped into the label of “made with AI”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree with a streamlined identification of images generated by an AI prompt. But, to label an image with “made with AI” metadata when the image is original, taken by a human, and simply used AI tools to edit is absolutely misleading and the language can create confusion. It is not fair to the individual who has created the original work without the use if generative AI. I simply propose revising the language to create distinction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Says It Won’t Train AI Using Artists’ Work. Creatives Aren’t Convinced⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never ever trust a corporation. In case of Adobe, they don’t give a shit about your creative work. That’s not what they are in business for. They are in business to increase revenue and reduce expense, by any means necessary. Just like all corporations. Their customers are but a product for them that they can manipulate how they see fit. Capitalism demands profit over people. Never trust a corporation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, I can see that but I cannot imagine living in such a small town. I’ve only lived in cities in 2 countries, and top 5 largest ones at that. To live in a small town for me just sounds miserable. At the same time, living in cities there is convince so long as you can afford it. Home ownership is almost impossible for millennials like myself and now cars are getting up there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the details. I appreciate it. I wish you continued luck and success :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you buy a house at the age of 25? I can’t get past this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created a board game alternative for evil people⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great concept. Not excited about solo mode. For those who lack in the friends department, perhaps a multiplayer mode would be suitable. This the only thing that is keeping me away from downloading your app. Unfortunately, there are a large majority of people, specifically in the millennial and onward generations, in the same situation as myself. Something to consider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that the permit requires approval, whether it is always approved or not, it is still a permission to practice your free speech. Instead, it should be a notice by the people. This will allow the government to prepare for it. On the other hand, this notice should merely be a formality and not necessary.

  In a real democracy, people should always have the right to practice their free speech that serves to protect the masses from exploitation or being oppressed. Furthermore, all public spaces are open to protest, whether they are in the middle of the street, in public squares, parks, inside and outside of government buildings, etc. The obstruction to traffic or anything else is merely a tool for the ruling class to act out violence against the peaceful protestors.

  All universities, schools, and other places of knowledge whether public or private should be exempt from trespassing laws for the protestors.

  People like to get technical about acting on your free speech versus right to free speech. This is a BS arguments that supports no one but the ruling classes.

  In a real democracy, people have the power and government serves to obey the people, sadly, this is not the case in the US, and anyone that thinks otherwise are simply opportunist in the capitalist system or given in to the capitalist democracy propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It comes from the Individualism ideology that Western culture holds dear. Americans just hold it tighter. It can be argued that the cause of this is American capitalism, which has greater focus on measuring success by one’s ability to consume (can you afford it, how much can you afford, are you self-reliant, your ability to consume more and better than you did last year).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Instacart tipping reccomendations insane or am I being miserly?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your tip should always be from what you can afford to tip. What what you consider to me enough for the labor. This amount is different for everyone. Do not feel pressured from these tipping recommendations, societal pressures, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech Employee Who Went Viral for Filming Her Firing Has No Regrets⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firing someone and not telling them why with concrete, documented examples should be illegal. Workers should have the right to sue their former employers for BS like this. US has many problems and lack of unions is one of them.

  It’s easy to boycott companies sometimes, but what about your own government sending aid and weapons to a genocidal regime. As an American, I feel very hopeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firm predicts it will cost $28 billion to build a 2nm fab and $30,000 per wafer, a 50 percent increase in chipmaking costs as complexity rises⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Use that money to speed the process of quantum computing so it will make these transistor chips obsolete

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Starting A Search Engine For The Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I support bigger picture. Rather than an independent site, wouldn’t it be more practical to work with current fediverse app developers for lemmy, mastodon, etc to integrate search engine within the app?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While everyone is watching the world stage and some are predicting WWIII, isn't there a good chance that the USA is getting close to some kind of civil war?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Civil War? No. What is possible and already happening at State levels is following the direction of Hungry. Authoritarian judges, politicians are being installed across the US and progressive and even moderate laws being challenged. Roe vs Wade comes to mind. On the federal level we see the installment of far right federal judges and Supreme Court justices. All coming together to help install far right authoritarian in the executive and legislative branches. Yes, socially, Americans have been more divided in the past, but this time there’s is a deliberate attempt to change the governance of US from the inside through brute force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are giving americans what they want. The real problem is continuing to feed the deep rooted car addiction brought on by lobbying and corporate greed. There has not been a better time to instead invest heavily on public transportation, build extension inter-state, inter-city train systems, subway or rail systems for cities. Overtime phasing out freeways and replacing them walkable districts. I understand this won’t happen over night and cities like Houston and LA are sprawling cities of 100s of miles but it needs to start somewhere and it starts with heavy investment from the federal government. Time to finally invest the tax money back to the taxpayers not defense, wars (direct, proxy or funded) and foreign affairs in the name of “national security”. How about domestic security from corporate greed, price gouging, poor education, horrible Healthcare are system, costly drug prices to say the least. I understand for all these there’s need to be a massive social change booth in the country and in the world’s largest retirement home, US Congress.
