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.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe just an off day, could be that he just got up on the wrong side of the swastika shaped bed this morning...

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

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

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.

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 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I'm not THE admin, I am A SysAdmin.

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

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

[–] 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?

[–] 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...

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 153 points 1 week ago

Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn't fasscy then you're gonna get wrecked.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 142 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ah yes. Elon's salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it's just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it's a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?

Ah yes it's a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it's completely harmless and very mundane.

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.

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

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

[–] theo@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

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.

Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe "it's not a Nazi salute".

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
