One of my friends won’t quit twitter because there’s no good sportsball on mastodon/Lemmy/kbin that I can find. Any groups, people, communities that talk about sportsball?

Would appreciate recommendations

Nah it’s the fox business that has the magnanimous and cool Larry Kudlow who wants to three way with the other blonde anchors

without the propaganda garbage.

I’d disagree, still rife with garbage. Is it more palatable and more subtle? Sure.

I’d still rather not push any views or engagement to them in the first place. Link one of the countless other news sites with the same talking points. Hell this article was copied from Reuters on to fox business.

Why we linking fox business 🤮

Is he threatening birds?

hmm you’re right. What if we ditch the video entirely and they just enter a prompt of what the video should be and we generate it. With AI?

What if we host the videos at 144p then have the client use ai upscaling to 4k?

Agreed, but the writing was on the wall that he was not going to win - the judge had previously sided with sellers in these kinds of contracts in other cases.

If it had gone to trial and he was ruled against, he would have VERY likely been forced to settle the transaction rapidly with his own capital, rather than have time to arrange for the financing that he ended up using.

I think it’s pretty clear in retrospect - he stubbornly tried to get out of the purchase while people who were smarter than him kept telling him he needs to start accepting reality that he’s going to own twitter soon. Finally he gave in when he realized he had a lot more to lose than a few billion, or maybe he got a call from daddy who told him to stop being a moron and arrange a loan.

It’s still working? The engineer must’ve fucked up on the built in 5000000 click failure trigger

If you look in to the court case, he was 100% going to be forced to buy it. There was a penalty fee for backing out but it didn’t apply

I’m no rich billionaire with insider knowledge but my confident guess is he could finance it on his terms or be forced to liquidate stock to pay straight cash. He chose the option that wouldn’t very possible take him out of the top .01%

He T posed before it was cool

Maybe a feature request, but is there an addon that just blocks videos with shitty thumbnails or all caps? Might make the front page almost presentable.

If this extension could just hide those videos as an option, or at least flag them it might make browsing better.

That feels a bit unfair. The explore tab could be a useful feature, and should link to good content, but YouTube’s implementation of it fucking sucks.

If this addon makes it better I’m all for it.

I do agree with the concerns of another poster. Clickbait thumbnails lets me know the video wasn’t worth watching most of the time.

Please I’ll buy 2 copies so my sister and I can play together
