    YouTube Music rolling out Now Playing redesign with comments
  • Don't you want to read hundreds of comments with "Who's listening this in [insert year here]?" or how that song was the favourite of a dead relative? Lame.

    No, seriously. Those are 90% of the comments I read in music videos on YouTube. Another 5% are the lyrics pasted continuously.

    If you attempt to critique yourself, what would you say is the good, the bad, and the ugly?
  • The good: I like helping without expecting anything in return. If someone I care about is happy, I will be happy.

    The bad: A white lie, even if it was told to don't hurt my feelings, I will label it as a lie and I will lose all trust in you.

    The ugly: If you do or say something that reminds me of my best friend (who committed suicide 25 years ago), without providing any explanation, I will be in a quite angry mode towards anyone until I have been able to sort out my thoughts, and that could last for weeks.

    It is a good idea to post a TL;DW when posting a video link.
  • I don't usually watch videos because when I use Lemmy I'm in my phone and listening to the music.

    I don't want my music to stop so I can watch a video of 10 minutes with a list of Patreons, a paid sponsor, links to other videos of the channel and an actual minute with worthy information.

    What would get you "back to the office"?
  • Short answer: Nothing

    Long answer: Actually, nothing

    Before the pandemic, I was already remote working because all I did was connect my computer to servers in a warehouse 20 kilometers away from the office I had to be at.

    Now, every person in my department is literally hundreds of kilometers away from each other, and we MUST go to each office to do the same things we could do staying at home. I lose 3 hours daily (waking up early, preparing meals, going to the office, and returning...) because of this nonsense.

    Also, the building I have to go to doesn't belong to my employer. The contract ends this year and, instead of sending us home again, my employer has rented another building that's FARTHER than the current one. We're pretty sure this is just money laundering or the building belongs to a friend.

    People are leaving for remote jobs, and our bosses are still wondering why.

  • When I collapse a comment and its replies, scroll down but then scroll up, all the comments I collapsed are open again. So I have to scroll up all the replies again. I don't remember this to happen with the previous updates.

    What's the "Joe Shmoe" of different cultures? Or the "John/Jane Smith"?
  • In Spain we use "Fulano de Tal". It seems Fulano comes from the arabic language, meaning "Anybody". We use it when we don't the name of a person we are talking about, or we really don't care to know the name. Apart of Fulano, we also use Mengano.

    Fulano/Mengano for men, Fulana/Mengana for women.

    I guess our John/Jane Smith would be Pepe/Pepa García.

  • Yeah, next time I'll ask for an additional pot. We miscalculated the sizes this time, but it was really fun to cook.

  • We ate some of that, and the rest went into the freezer, separated in containers of one or two pounds for future chili parties.

  • Me. Photoshop of "Saturn devouring his son", by Francisco de Goya.

    I made it in 2022 for Twitter. After that I abandoned my account. With the recent "X" news, I thought it will be fine to use it again after correcting the colours and adding a few filters, because the original was very dark and saturated.
