I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Until they shut it down, Buzzfeed News had become one of the better news organizations.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

You won't believe what this priest did to get fired!

[–] TurtleSoup@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.

You'd think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go "what? How?.."

Like I said elsewhere, I've actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren't being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.

[–] TurtleSoup@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 days ago

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

Oh the memories.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I'm sure Teen Cosmo has some great coverage as well.

Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

[–] Wizzard@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

I'm sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.

[–] pilotgrrl@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago

They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Besides this one, what are the others?

I could use some schadenfreude in my day

My heart goes out to her.

Edit: Anyone hiring?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 39 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Well, the great news is that this guy doesn't look anything like a god-damned villain...

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He looks like he stuck his tongue in the toaster.

If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.

Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Musk's department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

A bunch of fresh high school graduates, got it.

[–] alessandro@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 days ago

To counterbalance the two stick up in his ass

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

He hates Jews.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Probably being filmed.
It's rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Maybe the PA vibe can be created on post with the source material.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
If it's a "feel of being live" that's required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

Maybe the records aren't set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn't able to provide a clean feed.
The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don't have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

Better to have an independent feed.

But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he's gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity

At least history books of the future will have plenty of material to work with.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Also, are you actually the admin of shitjustworks?
Or are you squatting a misleading username?

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Did you conctact imaqtpie seriously? Lmao

[–] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Yeh, I did. Just looking out.
It's odd to see an admin user name not doing admin actions.
Most mods/admins have a normal account and a different mod/admin account for when they have to put on their official hat.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

A very good reason, and a nice habit. Trust but verify

Every picture I've seen of him is different, and they're all awful.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

How old is this photo? He definitely didn't have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Isn't he like, part black, or of ethnic descent at least? Should be more aware of dog whistles like that damned Nazi salute. It ain't callin in the Border Collie's for dinner...
