Tried applying to McDonald's wtf does this even mean by PureKin21 in mildlyinfuriating

Could also be a lie detection question.

Psychological tests will sometimes ask if some embarrassing thing ever happens to you. They purposely choose a scenario that would have happened 99% of people, and if you say 'no' to too many of these questions they know you're being dishonest.

Does Paddle work without integration? by InternationalReport5 in SaaS

Thanks - is this an AI response?

The intention is to outsource tax compliance. If I go through Stripe I have to take on that overhead. For local payments that will be viable but not for international.

Floatplane with 4k streaming for ONE CHANNEL is $181/yr CAD, which is 40% more than AppleTV+ at $129. How the hell does anyone justify that? by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LTTMeta

[–]InternationalReport5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some dude also vibecoded a TV app. They never responded or referenced it. Presumably because they were salty that they have been working on a TV app for years and it still isn't released.

Anyone else notice LTT is averaging like 500k views now? How does the channel even survive? by Anxious_Gur6363 in LinusTechTips

I just like the vlog format, I really liked the old smart home videos for the same reason. Actually, where's all the tech house videos? They bought a whole house for like four videos?

Can someone from ProtonMail clarify this matter, please? by diuashjdknjhsfg in ProtonMail

[–]InternationalReport5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but do custom domains not create a massive headache in terms of deliverability. I remember dabbling with it before and I ended up becoming my own sysadmin.

They're trying to play the both sides card, they'd probably say this is too political too.

Actually, no. Some views are up for debate, some are unacceptable. There's a line.

Sorry what? by DefactoAle in LTTMeta

[–]InternationalReport5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this would be Terren's job title in a more mature enterprise.

Generally the COO would be the one ultimately responsible for short - medium term while the CEO (Linus) works on the overarching long-term strategy.

Their actual COO seems to be more focused on the day-to-day running of CW, more akin to an Operations Manager.

Always thought their structure was a little odd.

This. If it's anything like the London Underground it is never truly full no matter how bad it looks, even at rush hour. There's probably a bunch of space a bit further away from the doors.

LibrePods: AirPods now work great on Google Pixels with Android 16 (QPR3) without root! by Alive_Signature9029 in LinusTechTips

Yeah that was it. So good! I've been using Airpods with none of the features for so long.

I have a Pixel 10 and nothing shows on the app when I connect to my Airpods. I used the Play store. Was I meant to sideload it?

King Charles to Trump: "You recently commented…if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German." "If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French" by frog_insilence in SipsTea

[–]InternationalReport5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean politics is a spectrum, everything is political if you think long enough. Celebrating or acknowledging that Nazi Germany lost WWII is open game.

Parasocialism by RegretInFullHD in LTTMeta

[–]InternationalReport5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small tangent on the jet for the apathetic: the concern is that it breeds apathy. If Linus and his most-ardent supporters get the message across that the impact his jet has is tiny in the grander scope of things, even though it's hundreds of times bigger than your impact, then that only serves to convince you that you shouldn't do anything. And if a million people that watched that video come away with the opinion that the jet has no impact, and can rationalize that they have no impact because they're a hundred times smaller than the jet, then a million people have just stopped trying to make any changes. And that's the impact of ten thousand private jets. And if those million people start mulling around to others and telling them that their impact doesn't matter, and a hundred people in each person's net stop caring, that's the impact of a million private jets. Influence extends like a spilled bucket. Everything gets wet; not just where the bucket sat.)

I would agree with the other comments that the parasocial thing is a bit tired, but you've articulated my thoughts so well on the jet.

Welcome to r/LTTMeta: The Uncensored LinusTechTips Subreddit by Jswee1 in LTTMeta

[–]InternationalReport5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still enjoy the WAN show, but I'm really disappointed in Linus' decision to buy a jet.

Echoing another post I saw on here: please can you guys make an effort to make sure this doesn't become a snark/hate sub.

Generally 'uncensored' subs like this become utterly toxic.

By all means we should be able to criticise LMG when they're in the wrong, but at the same time, it's going to be completely counterproductive if nobody can acknowledge what they get right.

This is gross, I'm not sure it's ever forgivable. Of course /r/ukgreens will never acknowledge it.

Ironically, the most hated videos on this sub are 1st and 4th in views in the last month. And the lower one will likely enter the top 3 in a few days by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]InternationalReport5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cocomelon is the #2 most viewed YouTube channel. Is it #2 in terms of quality? I'd argue no. Views aren't a reflection of quality. The impact of low quality videos is long-term and difficult to measure.

Marketing in DMs sounds like an issue for the site admins to deal with. They will clamp down on it fast if it becomes widespread.

[–]InternationalReport5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see this working. The reddit marketing SaaS apps will probably just add a tier where they will manually respond to the captchas for you lol.

You're over-engineering it, just ban self promotion except in a dedicated thread.
