  Definitely counts for me. I'm deep up to my eyes into vtubers and that's why I use YouTube for theor originals and covers. Some of the indie ones can't/ won't put their originals on Spotify or other major music platform and just YouTube.

  I enjoy a few if it comes my way but it's not really my wheelhouse. Thanks for the suggestion!

  Any suggestions?

  I'll be on Linux Soon™️ so I'll check that out when I cross the bridge.

  Thanks, will check it out!

  Really should step into a library again. Last I went to one is during college 10 or more years ago lol.

  Good suggestion on local community radio. I'll have to see if there's one in my country/state.

  I wish the bigger international bands i listen to would come to my country often. But then it would cost a lot.

  But I get you though. I am friends with a weekend band that also has friends with other more "serious" underground bands. Been going to more and more gigs and helping out and actually discovered more songs and bands like this.

  DeX for Windows and Linux is gone as far as I understand. DeX is still available if you connect to a monitor though.

  I'm happy to be corrected though. I tried searching it since I recall seeing news of it. and my 5 minutes research did found out its discontinued for Windows and Linux as OneUI 7.

  Probably still do quite a lot. I still have my account there in case there are calls to promote the fediverse.

  They left Digg posts alone for now though. I know it's another boiling pot, dont have to remind me.

  Wait I can do it just for YouTube? Never occurred to me. I'll have to look into this

  Wear a big scarf ... for guys or girls ... a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

  Everyone should look up what a shemagh is, and all multitude of uses it has. Pretty sure there are plenty of colors that aren't tacticool, which is inevitable when you search for it. If it works for the grunts the US sent to the Middle East, and actual Middle Eastern cultures, it'll work for you. Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy describes how useful it is to carry a towel across the galaxy; this is it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no moral reasons like most do really.

  I'm just tired of reddit. I'm tired of doomscrolling anything actually. even the fediverse.

  I intentionally only seek chill and meme subreddit/comms. and even then some people just can't help tripping themselves shoving negative crap onto meme comms.

  Or probably in shipping containers. I assume the salty air on cargo ships would be an issue depending how the bulk of the product is stored while in transit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it's why I said no to a discord server that I am chronically online in. I don't remember what was the active user count back then, probably just 100. the admins offered a mod position because I'm a good boi. I know I'll get angry at the slightest thing. but i always managed to stop kyself from posting angrily off the cuff. I am not fit to moderate strangers, even if their familiar strangers. dunno how I'd do with a smidgen of power.

  I couldn't imagine the stress of moderating even larger network

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if you're someone new and then inundated with terrible news every day because you're still getting the hang of moderating your feed by yourself, you're bound to carry negative attitude everywhere else.

  reddit can, have been, and will continue to be angry right leaning, and here it's the opposite. I get it, there are matters worth being angry about. but surrounding yourself with it just makes it pointless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess I just ask here.

  On scaled sorting for my subscribed comms, it's different on the app vs in the web browser. Dunno if this is a bug or intended.

  On the app it's showing 2 months old posts. Which I kind of understand from reading the scaled sorting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's my thinking as well. So at least u use a clear case that lets me see the titanium. At home I'll take it off because I want to feel the titanium as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it possible that because pixelfed is more like microblogs with focus on photos mbin can access them? Because mbin always has microblogs support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  watch one or two videos that are from a popular genre

  This is why if I'm on desktop, I either open in a private window, or immediately delete the video from my YouTube history. Or if I'm on my phone, I open it on newpipe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's when I ignore those suggestions that's honestly are in line with what I'm currently obsessed with is when YouTube started showing me videos I've already watched

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak Fan Sub⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New subbers that do fun formats are being cultivated in the vtubers clipping scene. With how busy it is to keep up with vtubers of their choosing though, I have little hope some of them will use their skills to sub anime though :(

  This is why I just don't do microblogs. I'm just an uninteresting and uninterested specimen of humanity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I only ask after interacting for months, and I only offer mine the same way. By that I mean in positive interactions.

  I agree with others that say it might be an awkward way to get to know you

  In general though I just don't like to be DM'd unsolicited without me stalking following the account and get to know the vibe
