Lmao I love how different people’s experiences can be, the fact that windows has so many problems is why I prefer Linux over windows.

Compatibility, though it’s usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for

I generally just avoid it, otherwise I use it on windows, I still use dual boot with windows and Linux, will probably stop after w10 stops getting security updates since I don’t really care all that much about windows specific stuff

It’s not windows.

Any bonus points for a concise answer?

Just to cover all bases since it wasn’t mentioned, dark souls, that’s pretty much the defining feature that made me want to try it despite the shitty “git gud” attitude of the community.

Morbid: seven acolytes is really good, though it’s a souls like, a 2d isometric one.

Blade of darkness. A bit old, really good, runs on anything.

Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it’s not the exact same experience, people aren’t willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there’s not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit’s problems.

And they’re not losing us any time soon, for years I’ve seen people saying that YouTube is going down because they do shit the users don’t like and yet everyone keeps using them and in general making no effort in changing that.

It’s just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn’t change anything, everyone’s still using it and they’re not stopping any time soon.

Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody’s really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.

The Venn diagram for people who are often horribly wrong and the people who are insistent on not checking whether they’re right or not because something is obvious is basically a circle.

I think that’s a bit more serious than general public drama to be expecting something as if we were the victims, the way Madison wrote her story I don’t think she’s thrilled about making it all public whether it gets resolved or not, and certainly I wouldn’t expect her to want it before everything is properly addressed.

If we’re talking about legal action, that can take ages.

So when discussing something like the title of this post, we could talk all day about what we personally believe the answer is, but the legality really is the only objective answer here.

I agree, we can enjoy a long insightful conversation if we talk about morals… Why do you sound like that shouldn’t be the default?

Edit: wait, how in the duck do you expect a single monolithic legal answer in a question that did not provide a legal jurisdiction?

I’m curious, if not from the people discussing, what kind of answer were you expecting?

Lmao why is almost everyone talking about the law? Morals can exist regardless of the law

In the past few years I’ve seen “turns out printer ink is a scam” videos trending at least three times on YouTube, so I’m assuming printer ink.

I’m glad I’m seeing responses like this, while I’m not a ride or die ltt fan, I really dislike unfair criticism getting mixed in with reasonable criticism, it muddies the waters.

What I hope will happen is:

• They find the problems internally that lead to Madison’s experience (amongst others we may not know about).
• address them
• contact the corresponding authorities if necessary
• they get more serious about doing things right
• they somehow make it clearer that their YouTube channels are more entertainment oriented than technical, that not all of their videos featuring tech are reviews and that they attempt to bridge the gap between the two leaning on the entertainment side (I’ve seen way too many people talking about journalistic integrity and reviews and stuff like that, it’s evident many see any of their non reviews as reviews)
• make private (and public if the affected are okay with it, remember not everyone wants that and a victim’s retribution is not yours to receive)
• they slow down on the videos, holy fucking shit, I get they want an element of chaos and casual disorder but they should always be in control at least after filming.

I am 50/50 on whether I think they will do what’s right as a priority, maybe even less given the severity of what Madison described, though hopefully the situation was a bit less horrible than it seems from her retelling of the events and more fixable than just firing a bunch of tech bros that are unable to understand the line between sexual harassment and playful banter.

I think that’s the point of a third party investigator, collect information to deliver in a usable way that they can act upon.

Whether they’ll procede correctly to that is to be seen, I just don’t like how people are bloodthirsty more than they are wanting justice and corrections, that will certainly color their reaction to whatever move they end up making.

Before anyone jumps at my throat, if they fall, I’m okay with it, though losing the promise of the lab is disappointing.

If you remove the observations and limit yourself to the events in her telling of the events, I feel like it’s enough to believe her mental health was rightfully deteriorated by the workplace.

Unless you’re insinuating you believe it’s made up, which imo is a bad take, a possibility yes but dismissive as hell.

I applaud her for coming out with this at this time, maximizing the scrutiny they’ll have about it. Assuming all of it is true (which I’m inclined to believe, aside from the observations), this is very fucked up to the point I don’t even know what kind of resolution I want, aside from hopes of Madison being able to be at peace instead of being harassed by terminally online people.

Afaik, we actually don’t know, we have so many years of research and technique development of running with arched footwear than with archless and barefoot running, there’s no sufficient incentive to research and test it at full Sprint (heh) and thus research for it goes at a snail pace.

As a reference of how important this research is, nowadays there are banned running shoes you can’t use in competition because of the advantage they give you and they have to be previously be approved as opposed to individually banned. A new shoe can shave seconds off a professional runner’s time.

Someone named Fred murdered someone last week. Does that mean that all people named Fred are murderers?? That’s the kind of ridiculous logic you are trying to apply.

Nah, it means you can’t read because that comparison makes no sense unless you read something different.

Let’s say we were talking about Facebook alone, their crimes affect more people than the company has, more people than there are in your country, and even more people than they have active users, do you mean to tell me that’s meaningless because there are thousands of people who registered their t-shirt printing businesses that together will never collect enough money to match what Zuckerberg makes in an hour?

That’s an outlandish way of seeing it, the fact that are people like you who are satisfied with such arguments is part of why these monstrous companies can do whatever the hell they want.
