It's possible to manually find communities on a given instance instead of using an indexer. I'm guessing that's how most people found it.

I know it's been around for a long time, but I just heard about Real Debrid. My current setup is Wasabi + Rclone + Jellyfin, plus all the *arr services. What's the benefit of Real Debrid over this setup, aside from cached torrents?

Doubt he was referencing that, but I think it's clear that pistol fingers isn't inherently something to be offended by on its own.

Yeah, I just don't get where all the high tension emotional comments about his segment are coming from. It's honestly weird.

What a sorry state Canada is in when people are hired out of desperation without proper vetting to ensure they are suited to their jobs, even if there is a nurse shortage.

EDIT: Ah thought I was in a Canada community, my mistake. But I guess there are worldwide problems in healthcare these days.

Edit. Down voted for asking. Is this reddit? What happened to lemmy?

That's the vibe I was getting here too, there's been a lot of downvoting of totally innocent questions and non-aggressive commentary. I don't get where all of the anger's coming from over some of the productive conversations and sharing of ideas going on here.

But to share my opinion about your question, even if Luke were making a sex joke during his segment, having watched the entire video, I personally feel it was pretty tame. The only thing he did during his entire time on-screen that anyone is upset about is exactly the clip you saw in the linked video. Just those couple of seconds as they are. Everything before that was plain and simple talk about plans for improving the state of their infrastructure, and the tone of that was quite professional. So at worst, his attempt at a sex joke here was pretty lame and fell flat, because there was no build-up to it at all.

fair point

I would agree that the responsibility for the tone of the video and whether or not certain "jokes" should have been kept in or not lies with the editors and/or whoever approved the final product.

How do people like this even make it far enough to get this type of job?

I can understand that based on the prior segments in the video, it sets the tone and the mood for the segments that come later from the viewer's perspective as a whole. But at the same time, we should try to treat them individually, as hard as that can be to remember, when judging the people speaking during their turn. Because at the time of filming, each of these separate people were working alone, and giving their own takes in a silo. So though the video as a whole was pretty badly handled in my opinion, that's a separate judgement aside from how each individual handled their own part. It's just my opinion that Luke on his own didn't really do much to be offended by.

Do you mean "IT Guys" as in all guys who work in IT, including those not a part of LMG? Because that seems pretty unfair and a sweeping generalization.

I guess you can chalk it up to I "haven't been paying attention" then. I'm not a religious viewer of all of their channels, I just watch the odd video here and there (like, maybe one or two videos every few months), and since this whole fiasco blew up I got curious enough about it to catch up on what happened, and watched the apology video. With that being my context as a viewer and technology enthusiast, that's the lens I viewed this segment through. I just didn't see anything wrong with Luke's part.

Maybe if I was a more of a regular viewer I might have seen it a bit differently, But even if it was a double entendre, for the sake of argument, it seems to me as though it were pretty tame at worst in his case?

I felt while watching the full video (before I saw this one, so I knew the entire tone and context from where this clip came from), that this particular segment had an appropriate tone, felt professional, and I just didn't feel like anything said by Luke leading up to the last two words was out of line. And when he dropped the "six nines" SLA and seemed to be "playing it cool" while doing so, my only thought was "Oh, I know what he's referring to, they're setting a high goal for HA just like other major companies out there. Nice." That was just the way it hit me personally. If others want to read into it further, well, they will I guess.
