    You guys have sound? I can't unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.

    Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again

    Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn't play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn't start, from the other times I recall.
    Again being reminded to switch.

    Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.

    Have you considered using a Lemmy app? I don't have these issues you're having in Voyager. You're browsing Lemmy the hard way for no good reason.

    Voyager

    Have you replied to the wrong person?

    If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don't like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
    Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There's no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
    Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.

    Let me give you examples:

    This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:
    Probably broken in most Lemmy apps.

    And here's a button, but in base64 so it's directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:
    Probably also broken in some apps.

    These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn't lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.

    Welcome to this example comment

    Very few things refuse to work on Firefox mobile. The one exception I've run across is trying to log into Google, which insists that I should use a 'compatible' browser. Like Chrome.

    If I switch what user agent Firefox is reporting so that it LOOKS like I'm using Chrome, it works perfectly, surprise, surprise. I hate Google.

    Maybe it’s because half their raps are in Gaeilge or the BBC just didn’t check, but booking Kneecap and not expecting to hear something about governments and Palestine would be like booking NWA and cutting their mics if they played Fuck the Police.

    Great job riling up the crowd for Vylan’s new chant there, genius move.

    Lol they basically did that before. They booked Rage Against The Machine to play "Killing in the Name of" live. It has the line "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and they asked RATM to censor it while they played. The BBC was then somehow surprised when RATM didn't do what they told them. source

    Thing is, afaik, the BBC has nothing to do with booking the artists. They just broadcast the sets and hold them on the iPlayer for a month after. Kneecap (and Bob Vylan) were booked by the Glastonbury organisers.

    The BBC are complicit in genocide by censoring the news in favour of Israel.

    Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

    Anyone got a video of the rest of this set? Searching for it just brings up page after page of genocide apologists getting upset over the warmup.

    What's up with the stage name, though? Does he do Bob Dylan covers or is that just his name?

    Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit Nazi? Calling for the death of Israel seems problematic. It can easy expand target all Jewish people.

    No, the actually antisemitic claim is that Israel and the IDF are representative of Judaism and/or Jewish people. They are fascist organizations and the conflation of these groups with Jewish people at large (a narrative pushed by Israel and their allies) is what endangers them

    The IDF is a military force actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel itself is a colonist state that only exists thanks to constant violence threatened and perpetrated by its military and the US. It is not in any way antisemitic to criticize these entities up to and including advocating for their dissolution. Anyone who takes this valid criticism and turns it into "Jews Bad" is either incapable of understanding the complexity of the issues here, is a bad faith actual anti-Semite looking for an excuse, or has fallen for the ubiquitous state propaganda that has been conditioning this exact response.

    States and militaries are not culture. Nationalism is not identity. Fascism must be dismantled whatever form it takes.

    so if I say "death to Nazi's" by your logic, you'd have issues with that. Saying "Death to Nazi's" could easily expand target to all Germans, All white people, or hell at this point All Americans.

    see how flawed your logic is?

    No, you're not. This is generally classified as antisemitic. But for a multitude of reasons people don't care or even see it as a good thing. Reasons including:

    • Decades of being told that there's always a good side in war (there rarely is, I can only think of ukraine in this century and WW2 in - the last century),
    • being propagandized into warthirsty "patriots",
    • being radicalized during covid,
    • getting radicalized by (a)social media

    you get the idea
