    Me: This guy looks and sounds like the dude that fixed my old Mac Book Pro.

    *checks Google*

    Me: Well I’ll be damned…

    Not saying I don’t some times agree with the guy, but he peddles outrage. Every video is some gripe about something. I get tired of being angry some days. Just chill out man!

      Well he also repair macbooks and does a lot of good stuff for right to repair.

      But his most popular videos are angry old man screams at cloud so that’s probably you keep seeing.

      Absolutely. I feel like his videos were more “reasonable” before. Now they’re all clickbait and outrage with angry thumbnails.

      Agreed. It’s tiring watching social media or going to YouTube. Everything is just made to make you angry or annoyed.

      But that’s exactly what I LOVE about him! Well researched and thoroughly argumented rants, full of juicy insights and no restraints. I love him, he’s my spirit animal. And I love Blackberry and Clinton.

      I even posted the same thing on his videos. His tech channel turned into rage bait. Can’t watch his shit anymore, he’s lost his mind.

            Definitely agree, but according to a recent video, his girlfriend is a privacy nut (said with respect) so idk if he’s gonna get any better. Next thing we know there’ll be two of them in the videos.

    The comment section here is fucking stupid is what it is. People arguing over right wing… left wing… Nazi or whatever other nonsense that is not even related to the goddamn video or the topic at hand.

    You either agree to what the creator has to to say in THIS video or you disagree. Stop fucking speculating about their political or religious stand. Don’t let lemmy become another shit fest that we just moved from.

      Chill… people are just having a discussion about the odyssey website this video is hosted on. Some of us have never seen that site before and are discussing it. Just scroll past. Its not that big a deal honestly.

      Too late, friend. Will, based on my experience.

    He is spot on with how being a consumer enters you into an adversarial relationship. It’s so incredibly frustrating having to fight for what you already paid for.

    Just one point of view: I’m too poor to even buy food, but pirating books keeps me informed about current affairs and shit. It also enables me to stay alive because I still have access to my favourite authors, which makes me so happy and try to stay alive for one more release date.

    Full disclosure: I’ve gone from a very good job to debilitating disability over 10 years in Europe. Also, before this, I bought hardback books of everything I liked. I’ll do this again as soon as I can afford it. I’ll always support authors as much as I can.

        I’m an avid reader. Books from authors I like here tend to take months to years to get translated and into a library. I read everything in English now because of that.

          Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn’t that simple.

          Even the biggest university library’s online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I’m not sure whether I’ll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.

          And stop making fun of disabled people.

    Anyone know what he’s alluding to with his repeated “catching fish in my backyard with a net nudgenudgewinkwink” remarks?

      Piracy. He won’t come out and actually say it which could incriminate himself. Also he just setup a Koi pond in his backyard and put a 24-7 live webcam stream of it. There is really nothing more to it.

        That’s all? Hard to believe, he says piracy out loud several times and even has the word in the video title…
