- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah whatever brings positive nostalgia to people will be looked at fondly. I remember early internet fads and viral websites in a positive light that are just as dumb and transient as whatever viral content is being pushed out today. People view things in a different light and some kids in 15 years time will get nostalgic about Skibidi Toilet and talk about how “Dance Hype Craze” fell off after video 983.
- Comment on Why do news articles and such call the governments of countries/groups of countries after the capital? 5 weeks ago:
South Africa has three capitals but they have different roles: Pretoria is the executive/administrative capital, and this branch of the government is run by the head of state. The other roles are the legislative (Cape Town) and judicial (Bloemfontein) capitals. I would assume depending on which branch of the government is delivering news they would use the appropriate capital, but it’s most likely to be Pretoria.
Feel free to correct me I am not an expert or South African.

Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It’s been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.

A shit brickhouse is the opposite term where I’m from.

Nah no problem with it being about Vegan nuggets or anything, but that faux surprise/O-face trend was pretty played out although it did birth good memes.

Ah IDK not actually angry that was hyperbole. It’s just the silly expressions they’re pulling.
- Comment on braaiinnss 2 months ago:
Top tier use of that meme. That original photo of those two guys pointing at the vegan nuggets or whatever it was makes me irrationally angry: sometimes I look at it just to wind myself up.

Yeah apologies, that’s a good point - thanks for adding more context!

IDK why people say they have better privacy: They just settled a lawsuit over evesdroping using Siri. I think they probably have less interest than Google in selling data for advertising, mostly likely using it internally for their ecosystem so they probably come across more privacy focused but I assume they snoop just as much as any other big tech company.

Ok ignoring the fact that this isn’t a speaker, if it was and the question is what would I play on a speaker this size, then probably this.
