Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

    Forward it to Louis Rossman. He’ll make an entire video about it and add it to the wiki tracking these scummy companies.

      I agree with pretty much all of that guy’s takes, but he REALLY sketches me out for some reason. I don’t know what it is.

        I cannot stand him. I agree with the broad idea of his message, but Jesus he’s insufferable and constantly feels like he’s talking down to his audience

        I agree with him on a lot of the tech stuff, but there’s some subtle hints of shit that I can’t consciously place that really bother me.

        I really started to notice it when he was looking for a new location - the way that he talked to and about some people and things in those videos bothered me. Likewise, the way he moved to a red state because it meant he could pay less in taxes and shit. There’s something more but I can’t put my finger on it.

        He acts like a somethingawful/4chan veteran. Every now and then something along those lines slips out and rubs me the wrong way too.

        Like he’s often the good kind of libertarian, but occasionally also the bad kind.

          Ahhh but I was a LUEser, a goon, then a heavy user of /b/ (until about 2009.) I don’t see myself in him at all hahaha

            I used none of these sites and I’m telling you he seems like the type from the perspective of an outsider, and occasional victim/target of those kinds of sites :P

              I’m sorry for your experience D:

              I was a heavy user as a teen, and I definitely got into the stupid edgy humor but it was never directed at individuals for me. Then I grew up.

          He admitted he used to be openly right wing and he is still very pro-NATO. That’s Ok though, I still like his fuck cars videos.

            Implying he isn’t right wing anymore, or just not openly?

            I agree with most of the stuff he says, he just doesn’t seem very nuanced and I find the angry tone slightly off-putting. I like NJB tho, probably because he’s just sarcastic at some points for effect.

        I’d say the only thing ‘sketchy’ about Rossman is that he’s a normal human being.

        It’s rare to see someone independent in our homogenized society. It makes sense that someone like you would be afraid of them.

          Naw dude is just inherently sketchy. His mannerisms and way of talking are two big ones.

          He’s the kinda guy that gives reason to the existence of the concept of a face guy. Rossman is not a face guy.

          Nah it’s not that. And his “independent” takes are basically whatever is popular opinion on Lemmy (and formerly Reddit when I was on there.)

      I heard he was entertaining the thought of turning his role in Tropic Thunder into a full spinoff movie.
