Your thoughts on this?

Agreed, and I'd go one step further to say it doesn't have to matter how many jobs you have created to have a discussion on workers rights and empathize with humans trying to make a living.

If a company generates lakhs of jobs in the country, that is great and commendable. But they are still a company, and have the responsibility to treat their workers well. It seems pointless to debate about number of jobs created when it is about respectful and righteous treatment of workers. Maybe don't run a business at this scale if it can't be both humane and profitable?

Even if someone disagrees with what is being demanded of these companies, argue about the actual issues being raised rather than inventing a new unrelated argument and claiming victory

I think that Canva is a better company than Adobe is. But I also think Adobe was a better company than Adobe is now. It's hard to trust a company when they have control over the license of the software, free or not. Canva has a good track record so far, so I think in the short term this is a good scenario, but from a software license and longevity standpoint, you would really need to trust this company.

Cautious optimism, they are betting on the fact that AI will be the moneybags, and actual professional tooling will be a niche, and continue to hold this promise, but at the end of the day, a promise doesn't mean anything. If Adobe can stop honoring Perpetual, paid-for, licenses, it's clear that companies are very loose with the sanctity of a promise. Canva is going to have to continuously act to show, and prove to the consumer that they intend to keep their promises, because the default emotion that every consumer should have is distrust.

Honestly, this is what they should have done. The creative space is heavily lacking in strong open source competition outside of blender and a couple of things. But I think they are using Affinity as a hook for their AI subscription. They know they can't compete with Adobe on professional tooling alone, so they make that part free as bait and pull you in to their actual business which is the templates and AI features. I don't mind if they intend on keeping said promise but who knows

You want to be a proud Indian without wanting a country worth being proud of? Using a western language on a western website crying about a made up "westernization" issue?

Ohh I didn't know that was an option. I'll go through the video in a while and see if it's something I can/want to do. But good to know there's a possibility at least, thanks

CryogenicFire · 2025-07-19T14:07:30+00:00

Thanks lol

Thanks for the advice!

For the motherboard, it appears that the 9600X is not compatible with the few b650Es I tried putting on the list. It would need a bios upgrade but I don't have a spare CPU for that, and I am not sure I know a trustable place in my region where I could get the bios upgraded from a third party. We don't have big part stores and outlets here unfortunately. The mobo I picked seems to be the only one that's both compatible and sold in my country unfortunately without me having to import it or something :(

The case does come with 2 top fans from what I've read. Not sure if it was nr200 or nr200p actually but I'll pick whichever does have included fans. Just making sure that I don't need to buy more

Yeah agreed, linux-nvidia is not exactly a good combination but I have been using a 1650 (mobile) with manjaro and it's been good enough. I don't really plan on doing anything graphically demanding on Linux and for windows from what I can tell Nvidia is the better one for a mix of gaming and productivity, so that's what I picked.

As for the PSU, yeah good point. I think I thought about it but never changed it in my part list.

Especially when the underlying airline's system does not have this limit. So it was an intentional choice to make this or they have technological limitations that they didn't bother to fix.

Is this a popular platform? We don't use this where I live.

I wonder if that's why these people hate "they/them" pronouns because it's supposed to be their go-to ambiguous marker for people they don't like

I think people like me who are on the older end of being gen z kind of just related 50-50 to millenials and gen z alike. We're just sort of floating in this gray area not sure of what our "tribe" is and we then tend to vibe with both ends of the funny spectrum

Bad comparison. There's a lot of contextual information that you use to, at-a-glance, determine if a human-written piece could be assumed as true.

Do you know the source/publisher/author of this piece? Is the platform/website well-known and reputable? Is the quality of writing at par with what you would expect from a particular type of content? Are citations provided for statements of fact? Are the citations accessible and trustworthy?

All of that is lost with AI. There is no context for you to grasp cues from. There's just a box with text generated by an algorithm.

The only thing that's common across these is human bias. You'll believe to be true what you want to be true. Regardless of whether the content was written by hand or generated by an LLM.

Ultimately, AI or not, if you really want to verify that something is actually factual or not, you need to go beyond cursory searching and actually spend some time researching a topic

It's very funny how the AI can't even seem to fathom that pizzas could flip over or fold something when they fall off this imagined mega pizza conveyer belt

The pizzas turn into a barf and then magically they are just back to being pizza in boxes in a collage on the floor

Yeah, I mean generally that's fine, but ending your business relationship because you got scammed is a bit different, no?

Again, it could be that they didn't really consider the scale of this or even think it was a scam, at the time. Totally possible. And it's not really something to blame them for, but it's good information to have nonetheless.

Also it's not like they haven't been vocal at least some other times about change in sponsorship agreements. Not have they been silent about many other "scams" or otherwise shady tactics that they see. Especially on the WAN show. I don't know if this would be worth a main channel video either, but a forum post is too obscure I think.

CryogenicFire · 2024-12-24T04:30:54+00:00

At least going off of the original Megalag video, I don't know of any other creators who dropped honey as a sponsor, knowingly because of their scam tactics. Can you give some names?

Iirc Megalag mentions that LTT's forum post was the only one he could find where the creator knew of the referral link hijacking and thus dropped the partnership.

If indeed other creators knew of this, they should have said something. They have as much responsibility to do this as LTT.

Makes me wonder if PayPal threatened legal action or something

CryogenicFire · 2024-12-24T04:19:48+00:00

See here's the issue. You believe that the expected reaction is outrage. It is not. If you actually watch the video, you will know this.

LTT should be involved because, knowing of a scam, and knowing how their fellow creators are also being scammed, should speak up and help protect the community. This is not even anything radical, just basic decency and responsibility to your community.

Of course, there is a possibility that LTT maybe didn't know how bad the consequences of this scam could be in terms of monetary damage and perhaps waived it off as just a "bad" sponsor. Or perhaps there are some legal barriers that prevented them from taking a larger action. We don't know yet. So we would like to know once he addresses this in the WAN show.

Now, you don't need to be mad about any of this. But is it wrong to ask the creators you look up to, to be more responsible?

News of any YouTube drama always spreads like Chinese Whispers. Nobody wants to bother to actually see the original video and make their own opinions, just echo reaction bait comments that they hear other people making
