Re:Linus Tech Tips YouTube-channel hacked on Thursday March 23, 2023 @08:08AM (#35273435)
Popping up in my subscription feed is a seemingly fraudulent Bitcoin discussion stream with Elons face, the channel thumbnail is now Tesla etc.

How on this flat earth could this have happened? Will Youtube aid in getting their channel back since all older videos seem to be either de-listed or removed?

Re:Google threatens to shut down search in Australia on Friday January 22, 2021 @06:40AM (#25870776)
Can someone explain why on Earth news media worldwide is so adement on wanting commission for traffic to their sites? I mean, were I a search engine provider faced with this demand I would just say "Well I'm terribly sorry you feel that way, we will no longer feature you in search results" and let their viewership plummet. Same with social media, if someone demands commission on traffic towards their site I would just make it impossible to share links towards them. It's their loss, not one of Google or Facebook. It is however unfortunate how desperate publishers have gotten for revenue and I sympathise with them, but they're picking the wrong fights here. Journalism is important, both general and investigatory, and they have a massive job of figuring out monetization going forward to keep the lights on.

I recognized the hotel about halfway through your story. But then again I live and work in Halmstad. Nice coincidence!
Re:Predicting Productivity Gains from Parking Behavior (2014) on Tuesday February 20, 2018 @03:40AM (#16418768)
I reverse into parking spaces as often as I can, but I like my gratifications like yesterday. I just enjoy showing off my mad parking skills.
