Another fun one today!

YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway

Hey that’s not true! Some of them a small clips from longer main videos.

Yeah same for Australia.

I thought they mostly made money through sponsorships rather than direct payments.

Thank goodness 4-chan is there

Isn’t this Tumblr?

I don’t love the way it has to tear down the other characters in order to prop up the one. Surely the message could have been gotten across in a more wholesome way?

Very popular Netflix show. Other than that, the only thing I know about it is that the paladin in the D&D movie is in it.

That chart says Vietnam is a mix of 220 and 127 V at 50 Hz. There might be some places that use 127 V, but it’s certainly not anywhere close to an equal split. Everywhere I saw had 220 V.

Ha. Thanks to the user tag I can see this one from my inbox but if I click through…nothing.

Anyway, that’s unfortunate. Is Voyager being actively developed still, and are the devs responsive to feedback? May be worth filing a bug report with them if so.

This video is a pretty good response to it.

Just mentioning this here because I literally can’t see @Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org’s comment while signed in and hoping they’ll see this.

Duke, you’ve accidentally mislabelled all your comments as being in German. This has the effect that anybody whose account is set to say which languages they speak, but hasn’t included German in that list, won’t be able to see your comments.

On Jerboa it shows up saying “There is no record of this comment”

On lemmy-ui (the default web UI) it’s way worse: it doesn’t show your comments, and it doesn’t show any replies to you either. It shows a “load more replies” button, which spins for a couple of seconds before failing and still showing the load more button when you click it.

Bruh I’m comfortable building my own PCs and that still sounds way more effort than just buying an external optical drive with USB interface.

Next time go ahead and do it! I post it when I get around to it, usually around 1–3pm my time, but today was very delayed because I wasn’t at my PC until 9pm. I avoid posting before noonish my time to minimise the overlap with US users being active and on the previous day, but after that point if anyone else beats me to it, that’s awesome.

I always found the fact that he thinks Nebula is not a viable business and only exists to sell out and get a big payoff says a lot about Linus and his way of thinking.

Like @MonkeMischief@lemmy.today, I found out about it thanks to the Nebula stuff and stopped watching then. What was the insane comment he made in a later video?

Shadiversity

Oh boy. I do HEMA, and let me tell you, he is not popular among people who actually have any understanding of historical fighting. The guy preaches his own opinion based on vague vibes and what seems right to him, and I think he’s even put out some videos saying how HEMA is terrible and wrong. Meanwhile, we read actual historical texts from people who were using these weapons and techniques at a time when it was actively being used, and we regularly train and fight people to prove to ourselves just how effective they are.

And that’s without even getting in to the very clear bigotry he demonstrates on his second channel, and which occasionally makes its way subtly into the main channel.

Anyway, as far as bigotry and people interested in swords are concerned, Jill Bearup. I haven’t watched her since she did the collab with Tom Scott and as a result her history of transphobia and refusal to denounce those beliefs became more widely known, leading to Tom Scott taking down the collab, and Nebula kicking her off their platform.

Happy cake day!

Have you seen this response video to Grey’s Royal Family one?

Yeah, from my other Connections chats it looks like a lot of people did.

Happy cake day!
