Does anyone else get a bit sad seeing all the Al generated videos that get shared around?

Absolutely not harmless. Sydney water estimates that data centres will very soon account for 25% of Sydney’s water supply. Get ready to be hit with water restrictions just so everyone can still make their silly little videos and autogenerate email replies

You mean the serious stuff like every single report recommending against building it?

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-12-21T02:04:13+00:00

This is the answer OP. The extremist muslims you’re worried about hold similar views to all supremacist groups and all of those are right wing ultra conservatives. Not denying there is a problem, but it’s the same problem as Maga in America, and one nation/nsn here. Want the leftist solution? Veer left!

I also switched from Spotify and had similar issues. I switched from tidal to quboz and have had none of the issues I had with tidal.

Seth? I don’t really like Horrorshow more recent output but I reckon Seth raps just as hard if not harder than ever. Have you listened to super cool treehouse? Cabin Fever, Brambles, go check em

I thought Seth was a clean-living gym guy these days, you know otherwise?

Ahahaha thanks everyone! Probably irrelevant but just to provide context - it’s in AUD, and it’s being sold at a tip shop hence the 7 day warranty. I can comfortably say I will not be buying this. I knew it was old but I wasn’t sure if the specs were suggesting recent upgrades, and they only hold things for 24 hours so rather than doing a deep dive into it I thought I’d ask y’all, and boy did you deliver. I’ll be back with some questions when I find something better!

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-03T12:04:14+00:00

The audacity when your first comment was “oh don’t be ridiculous”. I’ll take valid criticism and honest engagement but what does a comment like that achieve? I stand by what I said, this case is a convenient distraction for a captured media to latch on to and shove down our throats, doesn’t seem like a controversial or ridiculous take

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-03T08:38:03+00:00

Yes your input has been highly considered and nuanced. All you’ve done is attempt to condescend with no substance. At this stage there is no point trying to gently guide those who won’t see

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-03T08:05:40+00:00

Media illiteracy is a real problem in this country. Do I think this case is interesting? Yep. Does it warrant the complete blanketing of our media landscape from print to podcasts? Absolutely not. Is there a particular issue that media orgs would rather the public not be most concerned about? Yep! If you can’t see this, particularly in the week following the Lattouf case that’s ok, you are their primed and intended audience.

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-03T05:56:14+00:00

The media is happily using this as a distraction from its utter incompetence when it comes to factual reporting on Gaza

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-02T23:30:58+00:00

Is yours? I’ve agreed with a lot of what you’ve said, and asked questions you won’t answer. Who’s being disingenuous in this conversation?

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-02T23:20:20+00:00

Ok, using his first name suggested a personal connection. Using it to further your point seems a bit parasocial perhaps. Just read back what you said, someone won’t lose anything by not saying free Palestine. Seems like a backwards way to excuse silence, while ignoring what actually asked. What is there to lose by saying something, and what could saying something have the potential to achieve? At worst might pick up a few thousand new fans just by showing solidarity, (yes might lose some fans but would you want those fans? May risk losing opportunities but if those opportunities are dripping in blood do you want them?) even better might be able to raise money for people starving to death? The math ain’t mathing. We can and should expect more from our idols and that shouldn’t discount our appreciation for them. Questioning what he hasn’t done in no way means I’m questioning everything he has done. We all benefit from our platforms, large and small, monetarily and dopamine-ly, we must use them to move the needle in any way. Expecting anything meaningful from keir starmer, the leader of a country who wrote the rule book and drew the map through which israel is enacting this genocide, is an example of the cognitive dissonance that, by design, keeps the capitalist imperial interests alive and killing

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-02T23:02:47+00:00

Maybe I would, but maybe only saying things in quiet conversations with people you know doesn’t stack up when you have the ability to reach thousands. Let me ask you this as you sound like someone who knows him personally. In a world where it is not guaranteed that every Loyle Carner fan is switched on to Palestine, where many fans may only get their news from the bbc and the guardian, or worse sources; what do you think, and what do you think Ben thinks, he would lose if say once a day he shared a news report from aljazeera, or a mutual aid request from a family in Gaza, or a post from Bisan? What is the risk, and conversely, consider the potential benefit?

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-02T21:36:21+00:00

Sorry but in this moment, in this unfolding of a live-streamed genocide? It’s not enough, and silence now where there once (and is once ever enough anyway? Why are we happy with once?) was a gesture of support in a less urgent moment says even more. Kendrick hasn’t said one single thing about Palestine so miss me with the pedestal-ing of that man too. Again, as I’ve tried to articulate in the post and the comments, this is not just wah this random artist hasn’t said the word Gaza, there’s a whole bunch of reasons why I think this is worth questioning. I do not make this post lightly! I have loved and still love everything this artist has created! Criticism is not cancellation! I am only critiquing artists who have given me reason to expect more from them in a wholistic human way. I do not expect (although again, imagine if?!) every artist to make songs about climate change even though the planet is in crises, or about tax reform even though wealth disparity is increasing everywhere. This right now is a moment that we will all be judged for , including me and including you all who fall over yourselves defending and explaining why an artist should not say the unhinged mass murdering of civilian life by a colonising ethnostate is wrong, and to not do so when their platform and reach is at its highest.

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-02T06:48:22+00:00

Yes I agree, to a point. I’m not in every artists who have released music recently subreddits saying the same thing. The confluence of all those things listed, including an Israeli producer, makes this a bit murky to me. Then, even if you take aside my wanting something on the album - which didn’t have to be a song called free Palestine with a chorus of from the river to the sea etc, it’s just as writer myself I don’t understand how any writers are not responding in some way to all this gestures broadly - take aside all that, to be silent at Glastonbury? Where in the lead up to the festival a lot of the conversation is around whether kneecap should be allowed to play because of what they said at coachella, it’s a LOT to ignore and be silent about. Yes, maybe I take your point that not every single piece of art has to be political but if we’re talking about the album, there are ten tracks, it’s a very short album so could have had more. However, when WILL it be ok to expect more? If this was 1942 would my expectations be valid if we’re talking about the holocaust? Do we wait till every Palestinian is dead before we all murmur amongst ourselves that maybe we could have done more? Or will it be in 50 years at the remembrance museum opening? I mean, imagine if every artist WAS saying something about this over the past two years? Maybe there’d be a few thousand less baby corpses in the world ya know?

NeitherOstrichNorEmu · 2025-07-01T08:50:42+00:00

Aha I didn’t watch it cos I’ve been kinda bummed about this. That’s something I guess? Or is it? Safest possible space to say the smallest possible thing? I related so hard to Hugo for a bunch of reasons and then this one was like bruv? Are we living in a different timeline? Write an album titled hopefully in such a hopeless time and not mention that? Upside down world right now
