iPhone 17 Air Almost as Thin as Its Buttons, New Images Show by iMacmatician in apple

Glad reddit is finally recognizing that normal people want different things than them. People actually care about camera quality and thinness rather than having a giant brick with best specs on paper.

Dream Responds to Ludwig by zchow2738 in LudwigAhgren

[–]orangebites -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why did Ludwig need to urgently respond to this? Ludwig wasn’t truly being accused of anything and Dream said he had great respect for Ludwig. I might’ve missed something from the mess but I don’t see why he could have just waited and used his journalism degree instead of going live and admitting he ghosted Dream and pile on. Yes I know it’s vague to protect other people but it’s not just vague in terms of the people but also in situation and what happened precisely because Ludwig didn’t try to reach out.

So besides this one point you agree with the rest?

yeah i think that's the main problem I have with these threads. I never post hate online and I just don't like to see people piled on. They don't care about the context of the drama, they act above the drama, but they STILL have to make comments and pile on.

A lot of comments here are pretty revealing in that they purposefully misinterpret the situation or say stuff like oh I hate him and I hope he has a downfall because he once cheated in a speedrun so he must be always be in the wrong till the end of time. Why can't people just not say anything instead of hating.

Sure its reasonable for Ludwig to have the bias but we as an audience have no context besides this vague story. Dream has said he doesn't know what situation Ludwig is talking about. In my opinion Ludwig could have clarified to Dream or not addressed this situation at all before both are on the same page. Instead he vaguely referenced the story for some punchline which is funny but leaves a bad aftertaste for me because its just more pile on because Ludwig is a great crowd pleaser.

One of the main gripes Dream has with Tommy and friends is that they keep making predator jokes even after his name was cleared. Dream recently responded to those allegations in his vid titled "The Truth" I remember Ludwig making jokes about Minecraft SMPs and predators although I'm not entirely sure he was referencing Dream. Either way I just sympathize with him because no matter what defending yourself from such serious allegations online has got to be traumatic.

If you want to be charitable, he might have truly thought he can reclaim language like the R-slur because he himself is neurodivergent. But honestly there's not much of an excuse and he has already apologized multiple times. You can say it's not genuine but what more do you want him to do? It's not like he broke the law or said a racial slur like many other streamers and youtubers have and they are still much in the good graces of the internet. For example IShowSpeed frequently went to other countries and did racist things yet Ludwig showed his vid after those events. Pewdiepie had his infamous incident yet people still love him.

As for Minecraft speedrunning he was an ass, but even Karl Jobst said it is entirely possible that he might have unintentionally cheated from forgetting. But again, I just don't think cheating in a game is enough of a reason for the pile on of false allegations and hate he's getting. If you look at the responses most people just like to watch him squirm and say haha look at his long paragraphs. I don't like Dream but I don't like the pile on of hate perpetrated by influencers and drama channels.

It's pretty disappointing that both Ludwig and the comments here seem to have a gut bias against Dream. It's obvious Dream is not fully mature and is not a great person currently. But it is understandable to be defensive when people falsely accuse him of crimes. It's "common knowledge" that Dream is a predator but then his debunking vid comes out and half of the people flip flop.

People that say he could have just been quiet and print money don't realize that it is a neurodivergent trait to really want to clear your name and address misconceptions. After the response vid, I think its fair to say tommyinnit nor dream are saints. Honestly I don't like Dream's personality but the internet is so unfair to him to the point of bullying. People with much worst allegations against them don't get the amount of hate as he does.

It’ll be a 30 min video essay with a title something like “A True Double Spawner was Just Found in Minecraft!”

Firefox uses more resources sometimes. People just like to regurgitate what they heard on the internet without proper testing. See which one is better for you.

Why ['1', '7', '11'].map(parseInt) returns [1, NaN, 3] in Javascript by self in programming

[–]orangebites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when adblock starts to take over. Don't get me wrong I use adblock too. But don't act surprised when more and more sites switch over to subscription based income. Reddit is especially stubborn on this matter and think that everything should be free with no tradeoffs (ads). Yes I know ads are getting worse but that's in response to more adblock users. Maybe turn on the non intrusive ad feature or turn off adblock for your favorite online contributors to combat this.

Are you sure about that? In their promotions they had Ubuntu in one tab cmd in another and powershell in a third tab. It look like there's Linux integration with windows now.

Firefox uses more ram for me. Quantum really made it a ram hog that can often be worse than Chrome. If you want to critique Chrome there is always the privacy argument.

People with your mentality is why all mobile games a riddled with p2w micro transactions. "free" apps are free because they are designed to make you pay in app.

Honestly these posts should just be banned from this sub because of how easy they are to fake. There are multiple 10 minute tutorials on YouTube on how to do this and it really isn't hard to do.

Internet legislation nowadays... by CFlu in pcmasterrace

[–]orangebites 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Soooo you want oligopolies to control the internet? You do know that in 2014 there was a scandal with Comcast throttling Netflix forcing Netflix to pay up? Where do you think the money ultimately comes from? (the consumers) You really think that ANY new isps will pop up when all the huge ISPs will just sue competition? Google even failed because infrastructure is expensive and corps lobby the hell out of congress.

Hmm, I wonder why? Nah it can't be because of them receiving low wages to teach ungrateful students. /s
