A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?
  • Guess what? It's been in the charts consistently for over 8 years and is currently #61.

  • This Week in Self-Hosted (27 September 2024)
  • ...I managed to do the same too, just trying to scroll up on a question, and despite having read both these comments.

    Starting to think it's a 'them' problem

  • Everett True encourages voting (September 27, 1912)
  • I heard he plays a pretty good mamba

  • Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Remasters Leak Before Announcement, Set To Release This Year | Retro Gaming News 24/7
  • Nice, they've gone from early PS2 graphics to late PS2 graphics!

    (to clarify: I think this is good)

  • Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.
  • A video game that happens to get big updates every so often...? Call 'em expansion packs if that makes life easier

  • What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund?
  • Ordered a shelf, it was never handed off to the courier. Complained, got it redelivered but they sent it to the wrong address. They seem to have refunded me twice... haven't received any money back yet, but the shelf is due to arrive tomorrow so we'll see what happens

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • But don't you think it's a bit reductionist? We read books, not analogue text content. We eat meals, not nutritional content. We listen to songs, not rhythmic euphoria content. I don't think it's about commercial concerns - in fact, the term 'content' to refer to anything and everything is the 'commercial' way of putting it.

    Someone hitting 'record' on a microphone and jamming on a guitar is still music. Why should we treat video any differently?

  • If you find someone that fits all those categories, I wouldn't begrudge you that

  • What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
  • Brilliant article - but it looks like it's now been removed. Would be impressive if someone at Dotpe got wind in such a short space of time...

  • To answer the "why", it's because the word "content" is kinda meaningless. Instead of making films, documentaries, talk shows, reference guides, cartoons... it's all just this generic "content" slop that's just there to feed the machine

  • Then call them educators, or presenters... teachers, maybe, depending on the nature of their work

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • Well, we start by referring ta work not as "content", but as what it actually is. Then work from there. For instance, one could ostensibly call Ahoy a filmmaker or a documentary maker.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • And while we're at it, stop calling them 'content creators'

    EDIT: to clarify, my stance on this is that 'content creator' devalues the human endeavour behind a piece of work (or content, if you will). Instead it's just slop for the machine, and who cares what it is as long as it gets numbers, right?

  • What are the Top 3 TV Shows that define your (personal) youth?
  • Tom and Jerry, BAMZOOKi, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

  • Platypuses
  • It's an odd one. At a guess, the idea is that the build is so good / powerful that it breaks the game (or, indeed, the meta) for everyone else.

  • Platypuses
  • Sure they're not with the pumas?

  • Testing out Lemmy with a picture of my cat, Poppy!

    Unfortunately Poppy left us in January of this year, but she was a beautiful cat and this is one of my favourite pictures of her.
