I started the video shocked that GN would do a video like this at all. I was 100% ready to blame GN for being petty. As I watched and listened, though, he made really good points, and I can't help but agree. Especially on the points where Linus doubles down on really bad takes instead of doing the right thing, insisting it doesn't matter (there are loads more examples than just Billet).

The one thing he didn't say that I wish he had, though, is to remind people that he's focused on industry journalism, not just hardware itself. This isn't a hit piece, it's an information piece, where he holds industry players accountable. Not unlike his journalism on Newegg and Asus. No, it's not positive, but it's honest, and it informs and benefits consumers.

I respect your opinion and I hate pretty much everything that Musk says and does... but I love my car. The other options on the market are not as good at this point. Maybe soon they will be, and I'll look at them again next time I buy.

Yes, they need to subscribe and comment on something. You can add them from that

I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, so that means my picking up of electrical engineering, retro computer building, programming in z80 and 6502 ASM, 3d printing, CAD, AI, LLMs (locally run), python, rust, embedded programming for AVRs, RP2040 in C, rust, and ASM ... Since the beginning of COVID is perfectly normal, and the dozen half finished projects I have scattered about are entirely reasonable...

Right? Right....?

There are better solutions to the problem. For example, letting communities follow other communities. It's simple and flexible.

Take a look at the discussion here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071#issuecomment-1595303910 or my diagram of one proposed solution.

Thanks for sharing that here. The mods put that very well.

Nope, B is officially supposed to be left hand. B is equidistance from both index fingers. Y is closer to the right than the left.

B is very commonly typed with the right hand, though, just because so many people are right handed. I'm weird with it, and use both fingers, depending on what word I'm typing and if the other hand is more busy.

Now I have to know, which hand do you type B with?

Kennt? :⁠-⁠P. Or are you some kind of savage that types y with their left hand?!
