So strange for them to completely fabricate an easily debunk-able claim regarding how much he had "worked" with Edgar for that record. I guess in the 80's, they got away with it easier given how little surveillance was there at the time.

(I still think the voicemail cassettes would've been funny.)

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

YouTube Search Tip:

If you want to do a YouTube search based on a certain time period, use 'before:XXXX' or 'after:XXXX' to narrow down results.

This is useful for searching up old tech videos, Lo-Fi playlists, so on & so forth.

Here's to hoping for a day we get linux-like open source Distros for our phones to just install & go. I know there's GrapheneOS, but those are specifically for Google Pixel phones, we don't exactly have an OS for just any phone to pop-on and go.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think it's pretty hypocritical for you to be bitching about rich people when you are literally IN the 1% with that Subscriber count, make nearly $4K a month (on a $3 CPM at worst), and have a $500 DOLLAR Creator Course that "100% totally works real no ban working 2025".

I've got both a TLK keyboard (by Akko) and a 75% (by Royal Kludge), and yeahhh, I had to change my muscle memory to use it. Both are peak layouts.

Daniel @danieltg.bsky.social · 8d

Random questionnaire. What is your favorite Keyboard format?

For me, because I like instant access to the F-Keys and Arrow Keys, mine is the 75%.

Wow. It's almost like handing out the card that is used to identify your name & address to random people on the internet was NEVER a good idea.

Just learned about Sam Macaroni's death last night from Steve-O's YouTube page. He passed away back in March.

My first video of his was a Your Favorite Martian music video, and it helped me learn who he was & the projects he made. Dude was a film-making icon for a lot of us. We'll miss ya, Sam.

Seeing NPR push this incentive that AI will be our new megastars is so depressing.

this isn't news because something actually has to fucking happen for it to be news, this is trying to make something happen, which is marketing

nothing highlights the technocapitalist stranglehold on media right now more than the relentless pushing of genAI as revolutionary

Even 11 months after this video came out, I come back to re-watch it, even if Slop content hasn't been *that* infectious on YouTube lately. But T3rr0r cemented his point about Slop by making a very re-watchable video, cementing it into the aforementioned Evergreen territory. Well done, bro.

Thank you all so much for the new video's performance. ✨

I contemplated on it, as this is absurd timing. I can't get it to run on my Linux machine however, but the developer has said there might be a Linux port in the future, given they have a Steam Deck.

I don't think Doug is a bad person (as in personally as a human), he just wasn't that great of a businessman. I don't think he was *as* committed to Nintendo as how Reggie was (unfair comparison, I know, but still).

I'm curious to see how Devon handles Nintendo & what the future brings. 🍄❤️
