I've probably protested for your rights. I'm definitely on at least one list.
I believe firmly that everyone should have a fair shake and as much freedom as they can be afforded - so long as it does not encroach on the freedoms of others.
Occasionally a wordy cunt who will type a book when a sentence or two will suffice.
That escalator could have been a national hero. A couple sudden starts and stops coulda seen the us being led by a vegetable rather than a facist rotting apricot.
Its worth noting that everyone commenting on memory forgets they aren't losing 8+ gigs to their operating system so it can track them harder (now with AI!)
Most laptops with considerably older chipsets run flawlessly for moderate use on Linux with 8 gigs. OS makes a massive difference and that's before we discuss hardware.
Microslop's Windows 11Failed projects in a trenchcoat.
All my personal PCs and vms are Linux but for work I occasionally need to use a laptop that is on a mangled win 10 ltsc release that's been gutted of most any dial home shit and returns update choices to the user.
The minute my tools all work on Linux properly that's getting converted too.
The first time I read how to make thermite, smoke bombs, etc.. I definitely was too young to fully work out the ramifications of my actions.
With that said: how many people ignore warnings that are clearly posted? That's a human flaw. It's not age gated. Needing to see for ourselves that the stove is hot sometimes is the only way we learn. Acknowledging this - does it mean we shouldn't provide the knowledge because somone may do something stupid? I don't believe that should be the case.
In short: people are going to do dumb shit - but I don't think that means we need to over engineer the world to protect them from themselves.
Considering the other content he's produced I'd say this guy at least understands pressure reasonably well. The crab reference is a nod to the scary shit pressure can do to ... Living things. (There's some really nsfl shit out there on the topic.)
I'd give him credit for explaining (frequently) how dangerous what he is doing is... and frankly his willingness to quite literally showcase what the result of the badness can be.
Too few channels do either. And there's some wildly dangerous shit posted daily that is over-edited and rarely even touches on the very real dangers of what they showcase. It gives the illusion of safety to people who likely don't understand the science / risks.
Considering how willingly he comments on the badness that can happen.... And the fact he actually pressure tests his builds AND does the math ... I'd say he's a far cry from a company that pressure tests their builds with passengers. Live. Breifly.
I appreciate his content. Its interesting and hearkens back to old youtube content before it became a glorified ad stream. Its a dude doing a thing and taking you along for the ride. If you are entertained? Cool. If you learned something? So much the better.
I'd settle for them taking the same way out their favorite facist went.
