Because I've never seen Linux computers bomb so much. They have the same hardware, but they don't stop working. So is it a software problem or a hardware problem? Does he not understand kernel levels?
I fear Linux is getting a little soft in the head. Maybe he needs to revisit his discussion with Andy.

Tough cookies. Don't be obnoxious and you won't have your camera/glasses broken.
The problem is there are too many obnoxious people doing this for their own stupid little channel. And nobody wants to be acting in it. Stop it or face the consequences.

That's the problem with all these streaming platforms that want a piece of the pie.
The pie used to cost $ 10. Then the pie cost $ 15. Soon after you neede to pay $15 dollar to get half a pie and spend another $15 to get the other half. Now you get only a small piece of the pie for $ 20 and you need to buy the other 10 pieces for another $ 5-$ 25 each.
And the wonder why it doesn't work.

It's the same as 22 people kicking a ball. Or two people hitting a ball at eachother.
I suppose you are not interested in watching anything? Or my I respectfully ask why you are interested in #something?

Yes, there were concerns that technology would leak away. It was feared that the company would be transferred out of the Netherlands and that "crucial technological knowledge and capacities could be lost".
According to the minister of Economic Affairs:
"Recent heb ik ernstige en acute signalen gekregen dat er bij het bedrijf ernstige tekortkomingen zijn die de leveringszekerheid in gevaar kunnen brengen. Dat zou grote gevolgen hebben voor de Europese en Nederlandse economie. Op basis van de signalen die ik heb gekregen had ik in mijn ogen geen andere keuze dan in te grijpen via deze wet."
And ordered continued production in Nijmegen.

Do you honestly think they have those many billions in the bank? The rest of your post also show you have 0 idea of how a business works. And where does entitlement even come into play?

That's not what you said, you say "hasn't cost them anything". That's wrong. Not making cars still costs them money.
You are also misrepresenting the article. It says "costing 30.000 vehicles". That is a normal phrase for something you can't make even when it does not directly mean monetary value.
You are nitpicking something that needs not be nitpicked.

You still have to pay the workers (no, you can't send them on unpaid leave), pay electricity, there is the hidden cost of amortizations that continue without revenue.
To say that stopping production also stops spending shows a complete lack of understanding of even the basics of manufacturing.

What merit has this remark? Just because this group of candidates has no dark skinned people, what is it that you are suggesting?
I'm sure there were many black skinned qualified applicants. Just not more qualified than these 10 people.

I don't mind paying for content.
I also don't mind paying for content. I do mind having to pay 10 streaming services full price to be able to see what I want. I do mind paying 25 euro per month for my usual subscription and then having to pay 15 euro EXTRA because the broadcast rights #something I watch has been bought by some other higher bidder.
In that sense, all measure of reasonability has gone. It is greed, greed, greed and how can we extract the last cent from our viewers.
And I don't go along with that game. I don't NEED to watch TV. If you don't offer something reasonable, more and more viewers will switch off.

Downvote and report the videos is the only option available to me and I am using them. No idea if this actually does something. I'm 99% sure these reports are being handled by AI.

It won't be long before robots are watching AI generated content to satisfy moronic companies. And believe me, the robots don't mind watching ads.
YouTube (and its parent Google) long ago lost any interest in not being evil and now *everything* they do is all about hiking revenues and boosting that bottom line. If you think otherwise then you're sadly deluded.
So true.

You really wonder why companies who used to be pretty correct in their handling are now part of the enshitification. What is their motive.

I'd love to know what the supposedly offensive joke is.
But apart from that, this is more opressive than communist Russia or red China. I hope you Yanks are proud of what your country (land of the FREE, home of the BRAVE) has become. Yes, I know this is not something most Amerikans have welcomed, but if you don't do something about this, it will only get worse.
