I'm guessing he's talking orchestral music with no lyrics. But "___ is not ideological" or "___ is not political" is exactly the sort of thing people say about stuff that is constantly political. It seems like he was just bought by Russia.
From the guys Wikipedia page:
“In 2024 Moosdorf accepted a part-time honorary professor position at Gnessin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow.
The school, financed by Russia’s culture ministry, made headlines just days after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, when a staff member performed a concert wearing a black sweatshirt with the letter “Z” on it, which symbolizes support for Moscow’s war.
“Music knows no ideological boundaries,” Moosdorf wrote on Facebook, adding that accepting the professorship is “a sign of understanding.”
“I want to give the young people there [in Russia] the feeling that they are not left behind in Europe,” Moosdorf said. He added that he spent three days in Moscow in September to give an inaugural lecture and plans to go back a few days every quarter to teach chamber music”
Seems like a reeeaaal nice guy huh /s
Billboards and other physical ads and such suck but are thankfully already mostly illegal where I live.
Problem with other kinds of advertising is that it can't be made illegal, not truly. People would still do it, it would just not be marked as such. I'm not sure how to fix this.
I'm amazed by the fact that it remains such high quality even when you go so far back to the early videos. It's crazy. Dude is a genius.
Kind of weird but suit themselves I guess
How come?
but it doesn’t stop them from existing on the fediverse.
Well of course, nobody has absolute power over the fediverse like that. Anyone can start an instance and create millions of bot accounts if that's what they wanted. But "the fediverse" is only what it looks like from the point of view of your instance. If stuff is blocked or defederated, it may as well not exist.
The point isn't to eliminate all bad behavior on the fediverse (that's not possible, by design of the system, and that's good). The point is to allow users to seek towards those instances that keep bad behavior out.
You only need to stop it on your own instance. You can't do anything else anyway. Users will go to the instances that aren't flooded with bots.
Warcraft 3 custom maps still drag me back sometimes.
There’s nothing that can be done to stop it
That's not true at all. You can definitely do something:
It definitely does. You just defederate from the instances that don't do something to avoid bots.

I would say no, ochre would have more of a red or orange-y tint.
