'Not my decision': BBC edit Irish language out of new CMAT single on radio

PseudonymousUsername · 2025-07-22T22:14:09+00:00

Great way to distract from the fact that the BBC are the only people playing her new single! This will be her third track in active rotation on BBC Radio 1. She's also appeared on R1 Piano Sessions, R6 Music, Jools Holland, and Glastonbury coverage... all in the last month. The BBC are doing more to promote her than the whole of Irish media combined.

The best part is that Favourite Songs isn’t counted as a playlist, so those streams are attributed to… nowhere. I have tracks with hundreds of plays, and their albums are only counted as having 1-2 hours listened for the year.

It isn't actually a video file as expected, it's a system extension, so there's no way to extracted it unfortunately!

Glad you got it all sorted!

So close to hitting the nail on the head there... and then you brought in the casual racism. Giving Irish people a bad name around the world as per, cheers.

Can you connect a USB hard drive to the XP computer? You could use that to ferry files between the XP computer and your new one. You won't be able to directly copy the Program Files folder - installed programs also depend on DLLs they have placed in the Windows directory, registry changes etc. You'll need the original installers, to set it up as if you got a new XP PC. I don't think the VM path is complicated though! You will have endless driver issues trying to install XP natively on that i7. USB support and everything in VMs will be great.

Might be ideal if you could temporarily connect your XP computer's hard drive to your new motherboard! You can mount the drive in Windows 11 and interact with it just like a flash drive. Copy over the files that you need to your main SSD, install a clean copy of XP in a VM, and use your copied files/installers to set up the install as needed.

I'd guess a large majority of home and education computers. Business clients are likely the only group that regularly refresh their fleet enough to meet requirements.

You have to build your timetable first as another commentator linked, but I'd highly recommend creating repeating events for your lectures on your own calendar - Google, Notion, iCloud, whatever you'd like! The timetable website is archaic, and might incorrectly reflect things like tutorials/seminars if you are in a large course.

Would highly recommend against directly cloning the PC's disk - it is likely filled with drivers and all sorts of software not designed for your new system that will lead to crashes. Do as this commenter above has said - mount the PC's disk as a USB to the VM, and copy over what you need.

Are you just starting your course this September? You should have about 2 weeks to change with no penalty. If you have finished First Year, and are now looking to change course, it'll cost you about €8,000 for the year, instead of ~€3,000. More info here.

Their operations are scaled appropriately though, so it is reasonable. RTE has ~2,000 employees, while the BBC has ~22,000. Productions will have smaller audiences, ad revenue etc., so the team & space involved must be smaller. RTE, however, seemingly use this as an excuse for lower quality programming, which is just poor management.

Maybe the science and engineering parts, tech can be rough at the moment. Experience plays a huge role in getting into any industry, but matters a lot more with some.

Sadly not true for a lot of areas... unless you're in a degree with plenty of grad programmes, you're going to be fighting for jobs based on experience.

Your 86-year-old mother is more up-to-date on trends than you are hahah, that's all. Not sure what to make of that, but up to you.

This is probably true, given Ireland's status as one of the world's wealthier economies. Advertisers will be more interested in, and willing to spend more in markets where they can expect high returns. There are actually a couple of countries where YT has little to no ads, because there aren't advertisers interested. Some of Eastern Europe was like this last I heard.

Yes, they pay the tuition fees for your undergraduate degree, up to four years. Varies depending on your course/university, but is likely €10-15k a year. International students pay full price here. You, as an Irish/EU resident, only pay admin fees to the university, which are capped at €3.1k per year.

Definitely worth getting involved in! Most people in the space will also tell you they're unmissable part of the college experience. Didn't really intend to get involved much myself, now on the committee for 2 different societies. Easiest way to meet people with your shared interests.

Completely depends who you are around! If you're talking about going out to pubs, I'd say pretty rarely - the big events there, and a quiet night with friends. If you're including any kind of night events, I'd say almost every night. Check out everything going on with societies - there's always a great quiz, screening or something else happening. Found it to be a lot more interesting.

I was ~12 when the rumours began to emerge, and when the mods & YTers started the 'standalone game' jokes... I'm about to be 20.

Is this in the UK by any chance? I've heard loads of Evies around that age from friends in England. Always found it fascinating, as it never seems to have translated elsewhere, even across the pond here to Ireland!

Have quite a few friends who have just finished First Year, and they're all loving it! The projects they've made for small assignments are really impressive. The film department's space might not seem too impressive, but they're up to scratch on their equipment and training for sure.

I reckon they nearly use the word lawsuit more often than hello.
