Rossmann is bringing the heat. I love his videos.

Context: Bambu Labs is committing an AGPL violation by trying to takedown OrcaSlicer's GitHub repo of BambuLabs.

Extra: I also cloned the repo in case the original gets censored. And I have the zipfile of the original, which I will send to anyone interested if needed.

My interviewer wishlist for @pluralistic about his #enshittification book (and, in the case of Steve from GN), on the #DMCA abuse by Bloomberg to censor the #GamersNexus documentary about GPU smuggling:
• Steve of GamersNexus, of course;
• @louisrossmann, the Katharine Hayhoe of #RightToRepair and #RightToOwn; and
• Jordan Harbinger, who has a very large and loyal audience spanning a wide political spectrum, listening to long-form intellectual interviews of experts about their books and research.

(Paging @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: You've spoken to Jordan recently. Maybe mention the book and author to him?)

It will taker a wider audience to effectively build a base for campaigns to restore #competition: the restoration of #antitrust and the repealing of pro-monopoly laws.

As far as I can tell, this should not violate any rules. If I have violated any rules I would like to apologize in advance. I just thought that based on recent topics, this was a very relevant tune to share.

I love Louis and I've been following his videos for a long time. What he does is supremely important to our messed up society.

But here's the thing: for the past few months, I've had the distinct feeling than each of Louis' videos is slightly more unhinged than the previous one.

I mean I'm fully aware Louis' videos are not mainstream, and until recently, I've always felt there was a clear method to the randomness. But lately, it¨s been more randomness than method for me, and it's reached a point where I feel it's doing a disservice to the causes of right to repair and sovereign ownership.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I really hate to come out saying this, but I really think there's something going on with Louis, and beyond the causes he fights for on our behalf - and goodness knows I'm eternally grateful for what he's achieved - I'm honestly a bit worried for him.

I don't see this story being shared on Lemmy and I don't know why. The Youtuber in this video has been shoved onto the front lines by a greedy company that can't own up to it's own failed product and instead wants to sue for defamation for a poor review.

Share, like, subscribe, donate if you can. The "AllOffroad 4x4 Adventures TV" channel could use a little love.

A customer RMA'd their ROG Ally handheld console for a faulty joystick replacement - only to have Asus refuse warranty repair due to a tiny scratch on the top of the device.

Asus then invoiced the customer $200 to carry out the joystick repair outside of warranty, or have the handheld console returned to them in a disassembled state.

Pretty low from Asus in my opinion 🤦‍♂️ can't say I'm a fan of supporting a company who treats their customers like this.

Louis' video is related to other coverage on this by the Gamers Nexus channel, which covers this in much more detail.
