I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....
Can we not like, do that Reddit thing at every turn where a certain topic/title always makes it to the top and everybody just duplicates it even though the exact same conversation happens every time?
Man I used YNAB a ton as a freelancer starting out as a sort of bubblegum and paper clip solution for tracking my expenditures/purchases. It’s a surprisingly, flexible program and was definitely worth the money. Really glad I had it. Not saying that’s how people should use it, but the point is it’s just really good for tracking money in/money out.
Hi. In today’s episode, we look at some tech CEOs who may not make the headlines as much as your Musks and Zuckersberg, but who nonetheless have a huge (negative) impact on our society with their anti-worker, privacy-shattering decisions.
Honestly I like the content but I am so over the character. I just don’t find that stuff funny or useful, it’s too schlocky for me. Same with the anti-cars dude blanking on his name. He has a fantastic video about how parking laws are making all of our suburbs and cities the same more or less, but his presentation style make him really hard to recommend people.
I just think characters like Cody’s only benefit people who already agree with him and enjoy his show, whereas content that is meant to educate/inform needs to reach beyond those boundaries and thus the character becomes a barrier. I’m not saying he can’t ever be that character, but it’s kind of relentless.
Yeah totally get it. And to be clear thisis a critique not a rant about how much I hate him or something. I also get that part of it is just the culture of YouTube. People say they hate all the clickbait thumbnails and all that stuff, but it drives engagement which means they make more money, so they’re going to keep doing it unless we stop incentivizing it - clearly it works despite what some of us on forums say!
I imagine he does it because it’s rewarded ultimately. I can’t say I would do differently.
Republicans on the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus are considering quitting the group “en masse” after Democratic members voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, a GOP member said.
I'm sorry who called for his removal and actually cast the votes that kicked him out?
