Tangential Public Service Announcement

As of 2024/03/28 (ISO date format), there's a bug with the open-source YouTube front-ends Invidious/Piped access, most likely instigated by YouTube. Both projects aim to defuse YouTube's privacy invasions by serving Google-hosted video and bypassing all the distasteful tracking and algorithm nonsense ("If I'm the product, where's my cut?"). The linked music in my posts all point to the sites in the Invidious network. Until the situation is resolved and in case the situation again appears…

  • for past links, substitute the site's address with youtube.com…
    • before: https://iv.datura.network/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw
    • after: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw
  • for today and at least until the problem is resolved, I will link directly to YouTube.

If you haven't already installed this add-on for your browser, I highly suggest the LibRedirect extension. This extension not only redirects from YouTube to open-source networks but also redirects from Twitter/X, Reddit, TikTok and a plethora, a myriad of other privacy-invasive sites. As they say, I'm not connected with the devs, just a satisfied client.

I remember this song being played ad nauseam in the early 2000s.

Yeah, I don't doubt it, but it's been a while since it's dropped off my radar, so…

I remember hearing (on the radio) about a computer program that could predict hit songs, and Hey Ya was one song that didn't seem like a hit that the program rated very highly, so it received a lot of radio airtime.
