Which is it?

Hi @TeamYouTube @YouTube - is uploading broken at the moment? I've tried uploading this vid 5 times now. Every time it hangs at this screen with the 'Next' button greyed out. 🤔

@BobbyDukeArts @forever_gf618 Ditto. I ditched Adobe years ago. DaVinci for video. Affinity for photo. SumatraPDF reader. Etc etc. YouTube has a monopoly 'cause Google own the cables. That's very different to Adobe.

@forever_gf618 There are some of us that don't use Adobe. I do it gladly to not pay a monthly subscription. Heck, I literally own a physical copy of the software I use. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Adobe has always been such an anomaly to me. Everyone hates their guts & yet everyone uses what they make cause there doesn't seem to be any alternative that has close to the same features and options. It's kinda like YouTube in how we all hate the site but there's no true rival.

Oof... thoughts to Equity for Punks investors. I remember when this came about and I have to say I was tempted. Dodged a bullet - looks like a lot of people have lost a lot of money 😓. Shame. I personally won't be buying their beer any more. What went wrong?

No more Netflix on our PS3 as of today! 😭 What are your work-arounds?? Full discussion over on my Discord... discord.com/channels/14584…

@docm77 I came off 5 ish years ago since it was truly horrific (mistake... possibly). Not much different now but Community Notes is a welcome addition. Most social media is bobbins though. I miss forums. 😅

@MarcelVos96 @YouTube The whole user experience is a disaster now. Repeated recommendations for the same video on the Home page - nothing I'm actually interested in. And now the Subscribed page is trashed. 😓 Who makes these decisions??

Dear @YouTube Why on earth did you mess with my subscriptions page? It was the one place I could see all the videos in chronological order, which you now ruined by changing it "most relevant". Change it back please

@callanswag2 @itiswattles Smithing table is one of the best job blocks!

@itiswattles Hope just like the smithing table it eventually does have a good use 🙏

FUN FACT: 379 years ago today the mysterious Fletching Table block was added to Minecraft. It still has no use.

@justuseanything @AussieOverLawd @epidemicsound are great - never had a single copyright issue, unlike MA, and music quality is excellent. Don't do stock video tho.

@gosforthandy @AussieOverLawd What's Epidemic like?

This is fucking bullshit. I have not 1 but 2 seperate licences to use this song for my intro on my live channel and a seperate one for my main channel. 🤷‍♂️ and people wonder why creators are turning to AI rather than licence music.

@justuseanything @AussieOverLawd Ah sorry, misread this had already been disputed. I had a multitude of HAAWK claims (and others) for MotionArray tracks. I always won the disputes but still a massive chew on. Switched back to Epidemic and no more issues.

@gosforthandy @AussieOverLawd I doubt it. If it were motionarrayou can easily appeal using their own internal system. Only for Hawwk, Identiify and Artlist, but it works fine.

@Kica333 My first modem was 14400 I think... 🤔 You can probably age me from that.

I am dial up internet years old.

@stats_feed Can't be as bad as our Council Tax. 😭

🇳🇱 In the Netherlands, homeowners pay tax on “imputed rent.” It’s called eigenwoningforfait. If you live in your own home, the government assumes you receive a financial benefit (because you don’t pay rent). A small % of your home’s value is added to your taxable income. You’re taxed on the benefit of living in your own house. This system exists to balance mortgage interest deductions and homeownership advantages.

@robertoblake @JayzTwoCents ☝️💯

@JayzTwoCents Most people will pretend to care and quietly comply. And eventually this will be regulated and a mandate for all platform anyway.

So now that Discord basically shot an RPG at its own face, what is everyone going to move to now? If Discord backtracks and drops age verification will you stay or go anyway? What's the census?

@verge "gated internet"

Discord’s age verification mandate is a leap toward a gated internet theverge.com/policy/876131/…

@girlandhermom @SYSKPodcast So much wrong information about @Minecraft in this episode it's beyond belief. 😅

@SYSKPodcast Instead of “don’t bother emailing us” it should have just said “if you like Minecraft, don’t listen.” It’s exciting to hear someone do the episode for people who aren’t into it, but this definitely wasn’t for fans. Too painful! 😂 love y’all!

It’s so simple, yet so compelling: you mine blocks and cut down trees to put things together to make cool new stuff. There isn’t really a point and there’s not really a way to win. Minecraft is a non-game and it’s the second-most popular game of all time.  omny.fm/shows/stuff-yo…

Latest vid, all about woodworm and why chemicals aren't always the answer 🐛. Enjoy! youtu.be/_Q2qbxprlmQ

@DrRebeccaTidy @DranduAmaria Yeah, summat's up... or broken. Just as a very, very rough guide, 1120kWh is like leaving a kettle switched on continuously for about 500 hours. 😬 If you want to get the hive mind on it you're welcome to post to my Discord with more info. Here's an invite discord.gg/yB8Ch3rs4

@DranduAmaria @gosforthandy Yeah, mine can't be right then can it. I cook once a day + boil the kettle a lot. But there's no way that's pushing the bill up that much.

I had a smart meter installed in December. It's saying I've used £377 in electricity since 1st Jan. I don't have central heating or hot water. And on all but one day we shower at the gym. I can't see how this reading is correct. Pre-smart meter, it was around £100.

@linusgsebastian @Microsoft Windows 11 has been the biggest downgrade since Windows ME, and that's saying something.

I was prompted to sign into mspaint today. @Microsoft when you look back and wonder what went wrong for Windows... It was this. This is what went wrong.
