Yeah, I just checked. I can see my own dislikes. They hide the number directly, but I can see how many likes I have and the ratio of likes to unlikes.
Also, the creators that I follow didn’t like having the dislikes removed. Even if they did, I can make my own judgement calls. I’m sure the creators who are more dependent on sponsorships like not having their embarrassments visible. I’m sure IH doesn’t mind that stuff not being visible for “his” hole video.
Except that the uploader can still see the downvote count. It was just removed so that corporations wouldn’t be embarrassed when they put out an unpopular trailer or product.
There’s a long list of historic examples of people who actual are what the techbros fantasy about being. I was limiting myself to living examples of people who were just interested in the tech. Carmack’s comments when he left facebook was fun to see. I always thought he was better then that company.
When Google removed the dislikes from youtube videos, one of the lies they told was it was for the users(or uploader’s) mental health.
A few things the cynics are missing.
Well, Stark is actually a fictional character in a genre that too often uses the term “smartest X alive” when that’s not how intelligence works at all. Also, like others have said, Howard Hughes is more likely the inspiration for Stark. That being said, the closest irl “tech savant” I can think of is John Carmack.
When he wrote code at PayPal, people kept having to go back and fix it. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.
At least until he crooks, then they’ll try to make him a martyr. Expect a manufactured Regan style legacy.
He looked pretty weird in his sweet baby rays video and he was the one putting that out.
I got prescribed fillings for all four quarters once, but the dentist suddenly died and it took me a while to find a new one. The new one didn’t comment at all about needing any work and seemed satisfied with how I was taking care of my teeth. So, there’s that. If you’re prescribed expensive work, it might pay to get a second option.
That’s a lot of words to describe managing.
But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.
Is my mental health really something I want Google managing?
Apparently Logitech does have this out now, so I wonder if they patented the “concept” and it will be another 20 years before anyone can do it. Assuming that someone else didn’t already do it 20 years ago and that patented already ran out.
Someone charged with a cannabis position isn’t the same as someone charged with trying to overthrow an election.
They should have just released a mouse pad that can charge the mouse wirelessly then.
Garbage platforms then.
class based stigma
oh, that’s what you’re calling insurrection conviction this week?
I mean, I kinda do, but that that’s a separate issue from Trump.
The religious does not have a monopoly on morality, ethics or the social contract. If they did, the secular people wouldn’t be outraged whenever a religious leader got caught diddling a kid.
