this is a plea for everyone to shut the fuck up about controversial and hot button topics in general considering we never get anywhere with them and divide each other the more they crop up.
Insane stuff going on right now; multiple channels owned by Linus Media Group have been hacked and are running livestreams promoting crypto scams.
LinusTechTips has already been terminated by YouTube. Was running multiple scam streams. Screenshot from @cequallium
Techquickie has been hacked and is still up on YouTube as “Tesla” and running scam streams.
TechLinked is also hacked running scam streams and still up as “Tesla” too and has had all of its videos removed/privated by the hackers.
Never thought I’d see something like this in real time. Crazy to see it happen to LMG of all people too. Shows just how bad hacked YouTube accounts are getting. If anyone is able to report the channels if they’re still up and running scams then please do so!
Update: after almost 2 hours all of the accounts are now terminated. Linus has said on Floatplane that LMG is in contact with Google/YouTube and working to get things fixed and secured soon. All the compromised channels should be reinstated with all their content and subscribers eventually.
Got access to Google Bard literally the same day it was released in beta. Its a little rough.
something I've found is that I actually dislike mediocre or mid albums more than bad albums.
the thing is with a bad album is you can still have strong opinions on why it's bad - you can mock it like nostalgia critics the wall (which is a horrid album by the way) or critique it on why it's bad.
with a mid album there is barely anything to say other than it's mid, bland, boring, mediocre and basically every other synonym for “mid”. a bad album still makes you feel something, whether hatred, disgust, laughter, etc. but a mid album just makes me feel bored or want to do something else.
what I'm getting at is that I feel a mid album is far more of an insult than a bad one since at least a bad album tried, a mid album did the bare minimum.
Since you all know I'm Scottish now, ask me some questions about Scotland/being Scottish and I'll answer them (be sensible please)

agree completely
there's a fine line between debate and discussion with people who hold opposing viewpoints and plain hatred and intolerance.
echo chambers are bad but so are feedback loops of constant misery.
positivity should outweigh negativity :)
hi another reminder that unfollowing people on social media is okay <3
friendly debate is awesome! and so is reading about things that you don’t believe in! but when following that person is supporting them and giving them a platform to make hate speech or they just always seem to be spewing some kind of negativity, then maybe that’s an unhealthy place to spend your time. :)
as mentioned in this episode. i finally got a copy of my old design program before i moved to affinity designer. basically i can access old design files from 2018 backwards. here’s an early concept of my current da-ta logo circa 2018.

@perrin invented a new genre of music as well; Neo-psychedelia Tescore! (I have no clue what it sounds like and I’m convinced he doesn’t know either).
love how this account went from posting bad memes to the musings of random things my goofy brain comes up with for no reason whatsoever that sound like I'm a billion year old man whose been reincarnated like 90 times
loving yourself isn't about thinking you don't have faults or problems. it's knowing you have worth irrespective of your faults and that there are friends, family and partners that care and love you for being you. you may not realise it but your actions and character might have a bigger positive impact on the people around you than you think.
