Is that face value, sophisticated satire or AI deep fake, not knowing destiny I have no frame of reference. And no Null to explain it and gutterally laugh about it.
I'm pretty sure its real.

Destiny's been obcessed with defending israel (including a 4 hour+ debate where he losses badly on Lex friedman of all people) which is a really odd take for a leftist, i thought maybe he was doing it because the other breadtubers are on the other side, but this explains why he went rabid on twitter against Candace Owen until she got fired by Shapiro.
 
I just happen to have a MASSIVE archive of MATI, several Tesla cards and a powerful server. Now this is a fun idea.

Feds sought to uncover YouTube viewers for watching a drone tutorial. There's also something about a case where they are going after a guy for selling bitcoinarino for cash.
Federal investigators have ordered Google to provide information on all viewers of select YouTube videos, according to multiple court orders obtained by Forbes. Privacy experts from multiple civil rights groups told Forbes they think the orders are unconstitutional because they threaten to turn innocent YouTube viewers into criminal suspects.


In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting.

In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times.

The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos. The cops argued, “There is reason to believe that these records would be relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, including by providing identification information about the perpetrators.”

“No one should fear a knock at the door from police simply because of what the YouTube algorithm serves up.”
Albert Fox-Cahn, executive director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project
The court granted the order and Google was told to keep the request secret until it was unsealed earlier this week, when it was obtained by Forbes. The court records do not show whether or not Google provided data in the case.

In another example, involving an investigation in New Hampshire, the Portsmouth Police received a threat from an unknown male that an explosive had been placed in a trashcan in a public area. The order says that after the police searched the area, they learned they were being watched over a YouTube live stream camera associated with a local business. Federal investigators believe similar events have happened across the U.S., where bomb threats were made and cops watched via YouTube.
They asked Google to provide a list of accounts that “viewed and/or interacted with” eight YouTube live streams and the associated identifying information during specific timeframes. That included a video posted by Boston and Maine Live, which has 130,000 subscribers. Mike McCormack, who set up the company behind the account, IP Time Lapse, said he knew about the order, adding that they related "to swatting incidents directed at the camera views at that time."
Again, it’s unclear whether Google provided the data.
"With all law enforcement demands, we have a rigorous process designed to protect the privacy and constitutional rights of our users while supporting the important work of law enforcement,” said Google spokesperson Matt Bryant. “We examine each demand for legal validity, consistent with developing case law, and we routinely push back against overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands for user data, including objecting to some demands entirely."
The Justice Department had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.
Privacy experts said the orders were unconstitutional because they threatened to undo protections in the 1st and 4th Amendments covering free speech and freedom from unreasonable searches. “This is the latest chapter in a disturbing trend where we see government agencies increasingly transforming search warrants into digital dragnets. It’s unconstitutional, it’s terrifying and it’s happening every day,” said Albert Fox-Cahn, executive director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. “No one should fear a knock at the door from police simply because of what the YouTube algorithm serves up. I’m horrified that the courts are allowing this.”
He said the orders were “just as chilling” as geofence warrants, where Google has been ordered to provide data on all users in the vicinity of a crime. Google announced an update in December that will make it technically impossible for the tech giant to provide information in response to geofence orders. Prior to that, a California court had ruled that a geofence warrant covering several densely-populated areas in Los Angeles was unconstitutional, leading to hopes the courts would stop police seeking the data.
“What we watch online can reveal deeply sensitive information about us—our politics, our passions, our religious beliefs, and much more,” said John Davisson, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. “It's fair to expect that law enforcement won't have access to that information without probable cause. This order turns that assumption on its head.”
 
They don't seem to be drag netting people watching that random YouTube video, someone they are going after they know watched it in a week span.
It's bullshit but the suspicion isn't coming from watching the video.

I'm sure a channel like Dugan Actual actually gets drag net searches on the DL.

I do
This video and the comments on it are crazy confusing
I watched a few vids and didn't really get it, maybe it's a cultural thing. It's like 2018 popular youtuber mixed with idk what, really quite odd.
If you have the return youtube dislike extension you can see that some of his stuff is like 40% thumbs down, so he probably does just suck

Still no stream? Damn. Get well soon Null. Take it easy.

Can’t believe my post about rural areas received disagreement. It’s funny because two weeks ago the guy who did those Uncuck The Right Disney parody songs from 2015/16 posted about exactly the same thing. But I’m sure he just wasn’t based enough.
I think he comes across as whiny. It isn’t what I’d criticize. But it also gets to the central issue, which is that you need a certain temperament to enjoy rural living. And someone who politically identifies with rural areas from afar will not be like that.

It’s painfully obvious that people here have extremely callow political instincts. In this case rural areas have to be good and based because they’re culturally coded as “right wing”. Well, at the risk of blowing your mind, right wing is not a synonym for ‘good thing’. Self-identifying as a Based Right Winger doesn’t liberate you from having an intelligent point of view. Some seem confused by this.

i know what im listening to for my summer combining job, shits like 3 months of nothing but driving in circles
I know it's a grass is always greener bullshit take, but as a code monkey for a tech megacorp... That sounds like heaven on Earth to me. Maybe not 24/7 Nullovision as I'd probably listen to 40k audiobooks, but the solitude, being outside, driving a giant combine and smelling the wheat and petting a horse or cow.
 
Tbh, if this is something you're interested in, the hiatus could be a good opportunity to retool your schedule or scale back to a day a week. I recall you mentioning the latter at points, and enacting that post-break is a solid time to.
