    Nebula

    Fun thing about that service is that it was started by a group of YouTube creators who started by making an advertising service that was designed to share profit fairly (as opposed to their competition which aimed to extract as much money from advertisers and as much as they could from YouTube channels)

    After the adpocalypse they started a competing video service with similar ethics (Nebula)

    If Simon Whistler put his channels on nebula, I’d hardly use YouTube for anything but music

    This is the Wendover video on the subject

    Australian here, I’m happy for America to call pickup trucks “trucks”. They’re closer to a light commercial vehicle than they are to a ute.

    Aside from all that, EN.US is their language. They can use it how they like. It’s just a shame their culture is so dominant that it can’t leave EN.AU alone














  • Yep. Us Aussies can only waste our vote deliberately. If we want to vote we can number every box. And because we have a single transferable vote we have a lot of boxes, the last senate vote form had more than 40, and you could vote any of them first

    And if the rest of your electorate didn’t rate your number 1, you might agree on number 2

    News reports call out the losers — this party is last, its votes get distributed per the voters’ forms and you watch for which bars on the graph grow as the shooters and hunters party (I didn’t get to vote in the election where the sun ripened warm tomato party failed to get elected) is excluded. A forty horse race is better than a two horse race

    It’s also nice to choose your actual preference, even if it isn’t popular
