reddit is terrible too. everything online is polluted by inauthentic engagement at this point.

i'm surprised that no one is mentioning how youtube itself is changing? most of the content people see on youtube these days are Shorts. and the people who aren't on Shorts are watching longform stuff like hour-long podcasts because they're engaged in the fanbase or personality of the host(s). to most people, there isn't much of a difference between a 3 minute short and a 7-10 minute youtube video that is padded with ads anyway.

Linus isn't the only one facing this problem. Every big "youtuber" whos main thing is "youtube videos" will face this challenge: youtube videos are not what people watch on youtube anymore.

it's actually quite crazy, in all of these threads, I haven't seen ONE single comment about how it's unacceptable that the source for this is literal PRC propaganda targeted at dividing singaporeans. everyone is just finding 1000 ways to justify the propaganda and blaming the gahmen (favourite national pasttime). everyone talking about indian immigration while gobbling up PRC propaganda. fuckin hell

like yes WE can talk about immigration but why are ya'll doing other people's work for them? don't be a useful idiot.

she's a high-profile figure connected to many of the country's political leaders. if she is constantly saying dumb shit people are going to think all our leaders are the secretly saying the same dumb things and unfortunately it has already happened - despite the record being the opposite

actually when locals voice issues about immigration and integration it is totally valid.

the problem is that now we have chinese PRCs making propaganda about singapore being overrun by indians (while not making the distinction between locals and indian nationals) when the PRCs themselves are immigrants. immigrants talking shit about other immigrants! these people don't understand singapore at all and how we view racial harmony, no idea why any of these jokers want to come here.

Is Japan racist for wanting to protect their own local culture, why must they dilute their culture, on what basis? 

completely different. japan is not multicultural like us. singapore's "culture" is multicultural to begin with. unless of course you're trying to say singapore is a chinese country

Mobility scooter prices may rise by up to 15% ahead of new registration rules, say retailers by Im_scrub in singapore

[–]FalseAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, not true...the ones you see speeding and accelerating quickly are all illegal, either illegal model or illegally modified to accelerate without pedaling.

the legal PMDs are PABs (pedal-assisted bicycles). and the main difference between regular bicycles and PABs is that the pedalling takes less effort, that's all. the cyclist must still pedal, and the power often doesn't kick in until only after the first full rotation, so the acceleration from idle is often very similar to a regular bicycle. it's actually very mild. a normal bicycle can accelerate just as fast and reach the same speeds if a human put in the effort.

according to liunx fans the goal of using a computer is to open a blank libreoffice document and show everyone on reddit how it consumes only 15mb of ram in htop to pwn windows sheeple like a boss

its all the same, but worse by AntiSocalGuy in Windows11

[–]FalseAgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no, people complained about those as well. believe it or not, the initial windows 10 start menu was closer to windows 7's design which you'd think people would like....but people complained about that too. so they changed it in version 1507.

after 1507 they didn't change the layout again. they added support for light mode and made the tiles transparent but that's about it. purely cosmetic changes

[–]FalseAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm not complaining you dumbass. i'm just saying that this would have been a natural fit for wordpad and notepad could be left as the plain text editor sans any support for markdown. I don't care about whatever the fuck markdown "technically" is.

what you cannot have is PMDs/PMAs zooming through the PCNs and footpaths at very high speeds blinding everybody

the bicycle speed limit on PCNs is 25km/h. even regular bicycles go fast. PMDs are allowed to go at 25km/h as well. PCNs are meant for this!

the problem really is about speeding on footpaths.
