John SiracusaSomeone at Apple has been watching the hydraulic press channel on YouTube.
Chancerubbage@siracusa tangential aside- what creates the German language generic you Tube link card on Mastodon? Is it the Mastodon’s ‘DDOS’ problem?
Bevor sie …weitergehen?
@siracusa but do you see it too?
@Chancerubbage I'm using Ivory, and I don’t think I've seen what you’re describing.
@siracusa I’m using Ivory on iPhone . Perhaps it is related to poor cellular bandwidth. But I have seen it with multiple mastodon users posts.
The URL is intact it is only the ‘link card’ that is generic. And German. ‘Before you go to YouTube’ IIRC.

I wonder if it is a regional thing
I’m in the UK and I see German text in the link card of John’s post.
(And I’m using Ivory.)
Zev Eisenberg@boxofrain @Chancerubbage @siracusa I'm in the US, using Ivory on macOS in US English, and I see a German description. It translates to “Before you continue to YouTube” 🤔
@ZevEisenberg @Chancerubbage @siracusa
Ah, but we are both on mastodon.social - which is I believe based in Germany.

Anthony Sorace@Chancerubbage @siracusa For whatever reason, it’s in French here (even though I’m in the US and my settings are all English). I see it from lots of folks.
Are you using Ivory? Or another method of posting/reading mastodon?
Things seem to be related to the stress Link Card retrieval might be causing from Mastodon, magnified by multiple instances?
Artemis@siracusa the way my jaw dropped

Richard2001@siracusa looked painful, I cringed
@siracusa “Crush-gate” seems not to have reached tech podcast circles but this ad is receiving lots of scorn e.g. https://x.com/tim_cook/status/1787864325258162239 and https://bsky.app/profile/markharris.bsky.social/post/3kryizlvhh72b
@Richard2001 It’s reached me.
@siracusa Just saw Gruber posted about it also. Might be worth a segment for ATP. In the grand scheme of things not a huge deal, but a bit tone-deaf.
not that coachmike@siracusa Shoutout to Letterman’s Late Night show at NBC. 😃
Crush, Smash, and Crash Collection on Letterman, 1985-90
Scott Jann@siracusa seems like a waste of perfectly good stuff
Chris Pepper@siracusa But will it blend?
Janne Ojaniemi@siracusa they showed Angry Bird getting smashed, I wonder if that was a nod to the channel, them both being from Finland and all…
