- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 6 days ago:
I only iron shirts and trousers if I want to look put together. But like I won’t fuss too much for the small wrinkles, just the big ones when I don’t hang washed clothes quick enough after a wash or the sun wasn’t blazing.
idk I feel like I want to iron some things for some functions. I’m in my mid 30s and somewhere in south east asia

I swear it’s unintentional
- Comment on YouTube sponsorship starter pack 1 week ago:
These sponsors are more and more being baked in the video themselves and not part of the system youtube use. That’s why I use sponsorblock to automatically skip the portions of the sponsors.
- Comment on Before social media/internet/cell phones/landlines/payphones; how would 2 friends living across the same city arrange in person meetings and stay in touch? 2 weeks ago:
In school. We used to plan where we want to go on certain date and time and just meet there. Admittedly this was still a time with a landline and payphones and my part of the world was just getting cellphones but that’s for middle to upper class.

- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 4 months ago:
There’s a group of citizens of a nation that supports what Nintendo doing to Palworld devs. Back when I read the noise on Xitter when Nintendo first filed against Palworld, lots of Japanese support it because something something disrespect or some bullshit. It sickens me that they are just lying belly up drinking the shit Nintendo puts out and trying to snuff competition

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 7 months ago:
Thanks. Starting easy is fine. At least I now have a place to start from.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 7 months ago:
I honestly don't see much from the comms I follow (and it's a lot thanks to piefed topics), and when I do browse all, if I find a post from a comm that allows them, I either ignore it or block the comm, for example a genAI art comms.
Idk, lemmy, mbin, piefed, etc isn't reddit with algorithms so it's kind of on the user if they see a lot of it, IMO.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 7 months ago:
All of those use AI as a way to filter and group information
Is there any resource I can read on or start from that's useful for the average person? Just pointers so I don't go on slop rabbit holes which I'm sure there are a lot of.

Oh yeah I knew of last.fm but haven't checked it out in years. Pretty sure I checked Spotify to scrobble to it.

Bandcamp and SoundCloud does sound better for smaller artists as I understand. Alas I still listen to big artists.

What's the difference between musicbrainz and listenbrainz?
- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 7 months ago:
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.

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.
