No worries, it’s a common misconception. It doesn’t help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.

Hero wasn’t by them, it was only by Chad.

Relevant Bojack scene

He’s referring to how you need an iPhone or iPad to set up the Apple TV; you can’t sign in to it without one. It’s an odd ‘overlook’ from Apple.

Apologies, they did for an iCloud Update on Apple TV: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/apple-tv-users-may-need-an-iphone-or-ipad-to-accept-icloud-terms-and-conditions/articleshow/97063589.cms

He has also started paying for YouTube Premium again, despite making I believe two videos on why it’s bad. Oddly enough, I noticed it in the video where he talks about his friend who repaired childhood photos of his.

Beth - Kiss.

FWIW, I’m 23 and I believe this was 2004.

shut up and take my gold 🪙

/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it’s ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.

While this doesn’t apply to me; get fucked sony. A POS and a predatory company.

I watched DS9 for the first time last year, and that Rom scene had me laughing so hard!

Can there be an option to view deleted/removed comments? (this setting a user could configure in settings)

I can understand why mods want to remove comments, but being able to see the text that was removed could be very useful. At the moment, the only way to do this would be having each post uploaded to internet archive, and hope many other lemmy users do the same thing.

Every generation feels this.

I believe the reason that each generation feels this way is the different ways that each generation is exposed to information about current events, wars, etc. and now more than ever with the internet, it’s hard to escape. The internet also makes echo chambers worse than before because not only are they easier to get into, they’re much louder and have more influence.

As for products, companies are focused on user/subscriber growth more than ever instead of having a good product. The idea is essentially “why have a good product people pay for when you can half ass it and get people to pay”.

My conservative father listens to some dude called “Creed Fisher”; the dude literally sings about people who don’t have good ol’ fashion American Patronism and that he’ll “kick their ass” for not having it. It is so cringy.

FWIW: I don’t identify with conservatives or liberals.

Opera back in 2000s.

Compressing webpages, built in mail, built in BitTorrent client, tab stacking, “fit to width” which would remove horizontal scrollbars, page tiling, mouse gestures, rocker gestures, I think it even had a calendar.

It’s a shame the direction Opera took after Jon left, but thankfully he started Vivaldi which feels like the spiritual successor.

Rosario + Vampire

Perfect mix of romance and comedy; Fruits Basket (remake; follows manga) is also a great one!

Thank god! I’ve been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me “The World of Orville” and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.

I very much look forward to another season!
