  This guy is a total asshole, great to see him getting dragged in this review

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Burning Man may be the epitome of the many optimistic and maybe naive qualities of the 90s that were co-opted and exploited in the early 2000s, and turned into the very things they were built to protest against - another being the free and open internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is not one definition, if you hear “4K” you can use the context of the conversation to determine if they’re talking about the consumer 4K UHD format or cinematic 4K, neither of which have a vertical resolution of exactly 4000px. UHD standards are maintained by ITU DCI standards were developed by the DCI group and are now maintained by SMPTE

  4K UHD (along with 8K UHD and 16K UHD) are the consumer format standards for 3840x2160 image formats which includes Blu-ray. Full 4K or True 4K or DCI 4K is the cinematic 4K standard shown at 4096x2160, which many TVs supper via slight letterboxing

  4K is definitely a formal standard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you support the human sacrifice of 1 billionaire per year?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a conscious choice required to become a billionaire which amounts to exploring workers in order to achieve excess gains. And there’s a choice made when deciding to keep that wealth to yourself. Both choices here are being judged not simply the amount that one has gained.
