I think they have bigger problems right now.

Unless a State in which he resides in agrees to extradite him for the charges (which... let's assume he's smart enough to avoid States friendly with Russia), then this is about as grandstanding as the term gets. Unsurprising given the turmoil Russia's going through lately with Ukraine knocking at their front door after all this baseless aggression.

My biggest issue with all these fads is upper-management "running with it" and when the fad dies, they pretend as though they never championed it, fall totally silent, or if called out simply state "we're re-evaluating our direction", of which nothing ever comes out. They make grand statements, our jobs are on the line to make them look good, and when we don't... well I guess we're screwed and they get to continue a fruitful career in "leadership".

Do have stats to support this statement? Almost everyone I follow, on Youtube at least (I don't really consume much other media outside that platform), discloses that day's/week's/month's sponsor(s). You're implying almost everyone also has these "shadow" sponsors on top of it, which is a bold claim considering it directly breaks Youtube ToS and would have huge implications if true. Hopefully we're not just tinfoil-hatting here for the sake of it.

How is that a lie? They are, in fact, creating content. Not enjoying said content doesn't make it not-content.

A lot of the times, yes. But that's not exactly accurate. There are plenty of non-bought or crowd-funded influencers out there. You could also refer to them as "creators."

That's fine. But it's not their point and it doesn't matter what you want.

Trump banned Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, et al? That's news to me.

Someone didn't read TFS

Did you read TFS?

You... realize... most people... don't have that kind of luxury... right? Also congratulations on being retired.

Purist-non-gamer trying to sound smart. Linux gaming is all but solved except for things like Riot Games with kernel level anti-cheats, to which I say good riddance and will play something else. That any game runs natively on Linux is more of a "cool!" factor than anything else; they will work all the same.

Not going to lie, I almost spat out my morning coffee when they mentioned Notepad++

Maybe, or maybe not, but are you able to see why someone would come to such a conclusion?

It's hard to read tone, and nobody (except for some truly obsessed individuals I'm sure) know you well enough to read your tone in this case.

I see a lot of these arguments, and I've definitely come to similar conclusions while looking into such systems for my home, but there seems to be a lack of projection... e.g. every quarter the power company here applies for rate hikes. It's easy to see the numbers not being worth it *today*, but I'm curious what real projections look like (obviously on a per-area basis since we're not all alike).

You'd probably have to build a range of potential scenarios since it's hard to predict these increases but it feels like a lot of people are just running the maths against their *current* electricity pricing.
