  • I think the Republican elites don't hate gays as much as they used to due to prominent GOP members having openly gay children (like McCain's daughter).

    I see it as a three way deadlock (older Republicans that are GOP) that accepted gay people, younger Republicans who are not exactly for it but don't persecute them, Trump/MTG (Trumplibicans) who just say stereotypical bigotry even though they are "sexual deviants" by their own standards.

  • Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview; a scathing critique of 'brand safe' influencers
  • Reminds me of Pokemon. I skipped out on Scarlet and Violet (9th gen) because I knew it was going to carry the issues 8th gen had. Both generations still sold extremely well. 9th gen didn't review as well 8th gen but the reviews were still carried by nostalgia and not critical enough.

  • As @reddit_sux@lemmy.world stated there are more perks than just earlier reviews.

    Sometimes a large company will stop assisting you if you go against their talking points. For example Hardware Unboxed got in trouble for saying, raytracing isn't as big of a deal as Nvidia is making it and it will remain that way for at least the next few years. Thanks to influence of several big Youtubers (like Steve Burke and Linus Sebastien), Nvidia changed their minds.

    Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.

    This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣

    China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • China is a soverign state and they should make their own laws. However, China has promised repeatably that they will take IP concerns more strictly (trade deal with Trump in 2020 is one example of this promise). It seems of this moment they still use the World Intellectual Property Organization for inspiration for their IP laws. At one point, China did not acknowledge IP rights at all but chose to acknowledge them in order to secure foreign business trade. Being consistent is good for business; especially when it comes to international business.

    In 1980, China became a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). As of at least 2023, China's view is that WIPO should be the primary international forum for IP rule-making. - Wikipedia

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • This could be illegal for git repos that do not have a open source license that allows mirroring or copying (BSD, Apache, Mit, GPL, etc.) Sometimes these repos are more "source available" and the source is only allowed to be read, not redistributed or modified. I would say that this is more of a matter for each individual copyright holder, not Microsoft.

    But ultimately I agree, this really isn't as big of a deal as people are making.

    Israeli forces spark devastating fire at Ramallah vegetable market

    Israeli forces ignited a devastating fire at Ramallah and al-Bireh's main vegetable market in the occupied West Bank on Thursday that has destroyed dozens of shops owned by Palestinians and caused millions of shekels in losses.

    Troops raided the neighbouring West Bank cities at dawn, firing live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas in residential areas and the local market, known locally as al-Hisbah.

    Wooden carts caught on fire and the flames spread throughout the market and to nearby commercial buildings, wounding at least one person and ravaging over 100 stalls and shops, according to al-Bireh's acting mayor, Robin al-Khatib.

    Israel Attacking West Bank Farms

    The U.N. humanitarian affairs office has recorded 650 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, harming residents and property. It says settlers have killed at least nine Palestinians in the territory and Israeli security forces have killed more than 400 Palestinians in that time.
