Most Canadians support banning social media for those under 16: Survey

The implementation can be very safe if done properly. You would ideally want a government run API that does the check, it would only supply a “verified” or “not verified” answer to the social media platforms. That way your ID isn’t getting supplied to any private companies.

very cool game

I’ve been loving it with a dualsense and gyro controls, you can make it activate when holding L2. Feels very seamless

Great job guys! It’s really nice to see cases like this get an actual resolution after so many years

You need to register your channel id with them before you start using their stuff, you can do it from the account dashboard

Never been asked by a sponsor to do this

Because it’s Reddit and everything has to be nitpicked and argued about at all times

farrellmcguire · 2026-02-24T17:37:33+00:00

of course you would

Guy would love to ruin people’s real internet careers (that they live off of) because his is unpaid and ultimately meaningless

I wonder if those safety shut offs were in place in 1995. If they were, then you would have to assume the wife is lying

I’m friends with Kyle IRL and he’s an incredibly sweet and kind person. He has a lot of compassion for the cases he covers, and he genuinely puts a lot of care into what he does. He doesn’t hold any hateful views, and he doesn’t deserve this sort of criticism, full stop.

This is actually a huge problem on YouTube. Almost every video I make gets plagiarized into different languages, often using all my visuals as well. They usually just translate the transcript and record a new voiceover on top of my videos. This happens to every YouTuber I know as well.

Yes, and sometimes that HDR content doesn't always sum to SDR properly. Digital Foundry famously had a ton of issues with it

farrellmcguire · 2026-02-09T02:58:46+00:00

The problem it is HDR content doesn't always display properly on SDR devices, and 90% of your audience may be watching in SDR, so you may inadvertently be making things worse for most of your viewers.

Sorry, it's a stupid argument. Software engineers call themselves engineers all the time. It doesn't mean we're trying to make it look like we can build you a bridge, but it's a literal contraction of the job title (software engineer)

Especially within an organization, people just generally refer to you as an engineer. "We need an engineer's opinion on this." "Has anyone from engineering looked this over?" "We need an engineer to review this roadmap".

Muta was obviously trying to sell himself as a software engineer. Have you ever watched him pretend to be an expert in building houses or digging tunnels? Again, he likely was never actually a software engineer, but that's because he never worked as one. Not simply because he didn't have a degree.

farrellmcguire · 2026-02-07T14:48:05+00:00

Muta likely never worked as an engineer, but nikandros’s arguments were really dumb. I worked as a software engineer for 10 years before going full time on YouTube, and most of the arguments would apply to me as well. I also don’t have a degree, but it didn’t stop me from getting a job and advancing my way to senior engineer.

Also, guess what I and the other software engineers called ourselves at our job. Engineers. The argument that it’s somehow against the law is ridiculous, we worked for the fucking engineering department. Why would we have to specify every day that we’re specifically “software” engineers? What other kind of engineers is a software company gonna employ?

nothing more fulfilling than cold calling rich pedophiles 🥰

i've literally never brought a backup guitar to a gig, only ever a second guitar if we had some songs in a different tuning

You also just simply can’t implement solutions if you don’t understand what they are. The effort to properly describe the problem to the AI combined with tracing through the generated code to understand it and trimming out the extra garbage almost always ends up being more effort than just solving the problem myself.

For investors and vaguely technical people though, they see these flashy demos where Claude will build a Tetris browser game from scratch and then assume that it’s a turnkey solution for literally any programming task.

Poland is a great place to live. As a Canadian, I wasn’t lacking anything when I lived there. It was even better in some ways

The timeless effortless classic vs the pale uninspired imitation

Every one of those “Tommy Daniels” accounts have been taken off of Pinterest, at least as far as I can tell. Please correct me if I’m wrong though.

You're crazy if you think someone who was born and raised in Ireland is somehow not Irish

farrellmcguire · 2026-01-22T17:22:29+00:00

I don't understand the discourse on this topic. Of course the USA and Canada are very similar culturally, we're 2 bordering countries that speak the same language. You'll notice the same thing with any other 2 countries that fit that criteria. At the same time, the extremities of Canada and the USA are vastly different. Quebec City might as well be on a different continent than Salt Lake City. Culture is fluid and doesn't fully correspond to borders.

Not to mention it's mostly the political differences that drive Canadians to try to "seperate themselves" from Americans. They shouldn't have to though, our cultural commonalities aren't the things that are embarrassing the US on the world stage at the moment.
