  • I take that personally :(

    Actually most of my videos are just boring things that I find interesting, and I get just as many views on there as I did on YouTube. And the autocaptions are waaaaaay better.

    What I like about peertube is it’s just people uploading for the love of it, not content farms and AI slop chasing a quick buck.

    Edit: oh yeah and not having multiple ads on my videos.

    It’s at 9.05.

    To me it sounds like the Arabic gh or kinda like a stronger version of the French r or Portuguese strong r.

    I really hate that the English all but killed Irish as a native language. Language is more than words, it’s culture and a different perspective.

    One of the things I like about Irish is the way you describe emotions. In English, you say “I’m sad” like you’ve made the sadness part of you. But in Irish, you say “tá brón orm,” which means “sadness is over me.” It gives a bit of detachment to the feeling, like yes there is sadness, but it’s not part of you, it doesn’t have to be permanent. I don’t know if I’m making sense. I just really like that way of expressing things.

    There was a really good video about an Estonian woman married to an Irish man and insisted on having their child in a gaelscól (excuse my spelling, I haven’t studied Irish for almost 10 years now). She wanted her child to be a native Irish speaker, not just school Irish. I can’t see Irish ever becoming the main every day language of Ireland again, and it’s such a shame.
