Lol... OP, why not just tell people to go to fetchtube (www.youmagictube.com) and supply the video ID to download the video just like numerous other third party YouTube downloaders do? You had to run around and make it look like some magic on the YouTube platform that has been recently discovered.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Satya Nadella Bets Microsoft’s Future As A Consumer Products Company On Tiktok by etrange:
Here is my take:

As a religious follower of tech trends and an IT practitioner myself, I have come to have so much respect for Satya. Putting Satya Nadella as Microsoft's CEO is best decision Microsoft ever took. Dude's approach is idiosyncratic. He has taken bold steps in creativity, diversification, marketing, politicking, etc. and has taken the organisation out of their comfort zone and far into futuristic computing areas like AI, IOT, pervasive computing, etc. His cloud strategy is mind blowing and not only has it become one of the leading sources of revenue for the coy, it has also become a very tough competitor for other cloud solutions that were there long before it.

Unlike the close minded and skittish Microsoft we used to know under Bill Gates, this guy has dared to delve into trends and has fearlessly taken risks while at it. He challenges every status quo and seeks better ways of doing things. This is exemplified by the introduction of .Net core (open source) and the subsequent purchase of Github (not just the heart of the open source community but also a platform used by many of her competitors). This was termed a "fruitless purchase" by the OP but it was actually a careful strategic purchase made to romance the open source community. Strategic purchases have less financial values (thus why anyone would term it fruitless). Examples include Google's acquisition of YouTube, Sun Microsystems' acquisition of MySQL, etc. LinkedIn's purchase, though controversial, was both strategic and financial. Tightly integrated with Skype and Microsoft's business solutions Dynamics 365), LinkedIn has become Microsoft's major source of revenue today (years after some guys at Forbes thought it was a wrong move) but even more interesting is the data power the app comes with. While this data power is comparable with Facebook, it provides a very different dimension. Data mined from LinkedIn easily provides insight into the otherwise grey areas of the correlation between regional education and social connections, and careers, technology adoption/advancement, expertise cluster, skill migration and demand/supply. You can't even begin to imagine the worth of these data to a company like Microsoft!

Business wise, coming up with something better or buying off the existing ones either to build on it or to gradually kill it in order to create room for your product is nothing new and Satya is no stranger to that. Today, Microsoft remains the only software company that competes with almost all other software giants at the same time due to her diverse product lines. This explains why there's always a coalition of companies against her. Now, I said "almost all" because Microsoft is not a big player in the social media world and that's where TikTok comes in! At the very least, this means more data, more audience, etc. But knowing Satya, there's definitely more surprises to look out for! Facebook is about to launch a product similar to TikTok and Microsoft is only repositioning herself to answer that call while providing the data security lacked by TikTok.

Like him or not, Satya Nadella came as a messiah to reposition Microsoft as the leading tech company and this he has successfully done.

Grandmeister:
Your points are lucid and valid, but I want to throw in an angle I’ve observed in the western world. Over 80,000 people died of the common flu last year in USA( and previous years have similar numbers) but this year all flu like deaths have been termed Covid-19 deaths...does that mean the flu stopped existing because of the COVID-19 virus??
How were you able to tell that flu related deaths are termed corona deaths? Have you gone back to the site where you got last year's flu report to check for this year's statistics and it said zero? Bro, this kind of misinformation undermines the efforts of our medics and discourages people from staying alert.

In 2020, flu cases in the US went up more 65%. 9.7 million cases, 87,000 hospitalised and 4,800 deaths so far. This record is well maintained and very different from corona case records. Let's stay informed.

With time, it will be rarely noticeable. You don't need to worry or do anything about it though you can use python fat (abuba eke/ora ejo) on it to hasten up the process.
FamilyRe: When you want a Slave In The Name Of Wife Material. by etrange: 6:07pm On Aug 01, 2020
Toks2008:
The idea of a wife material by many men is not different from the idea of having a slave in the house... Men want a woman who will be able to wake up as early as possible when others are still asleep, do the house chores and tend to the needs of the kids, the husband and after serving her household, she will go out to make ends meet and latter come back home to make sure her kids and husband are well taken care of and this includes cooking, washing their clothes and lots more... Men want a Nanny, A cook, A laundry lady, house cleaner, An errand lady, Sex provider and many more in one lady who is considered a weaker sex and as if this is not stressful enough, most men would rather boast about the ability of their lady in washing hard fabrics with bare hands, they will talk about how they so much love a lady because she can pound yam the natural way and will be proud to talk about how good their lady is in using archaic methods to prepare their meals... And the worst twist is that even if the lady is pregnant, they will still watch her do these tasks.
OP, you are wonderful. Sorry I couldn't come up with superior words to praise you!

We want women that aren't financial burdens, we want wives/girlfriends that also earn and support the home but we don't want to partake in home keeping. We just want them to do it all and like you said, we're happier when they do it the crude way. Misogyny!

ProgrammingRe: Dear Programmers, How Do You Remember Your Syntax? by etrange: 10:05pm On Jul 29, 2020
Like the guy above me said, you don't necessarily have to memorise syntax. The most important thing is learning the art of programming. Focusing on syntax will only make you language dependent. You can keep a reference book open while coding (I do this when I'm working with a new language) and before you know it, you'd be typing without opening it.

Nice.

These things aren't easy (guys don't have the budget nor the connection as listed above), they may not work for some people even if they have it all and some people may be lucky to hit success without them but the fact remains that the factors OP listed above have a great impact on the success of one's song. A thoughtful post in my opinion.

TV/MoviesRe: Government Can Lock Education And Religious Activities But Can Allow Pornography by etrange: 3:25pm On Jul 27, 2020
What is the problem, bro? Is that it is going on despite the pandemic or that it should be scrapped?

I really don't see why people get worked up over the show. BBN is a station that can be turned on and off, right? If you don't like it, don't watch it nah. I don't watch it (can't access it) but I'm not better than those who do cause I watch Nigerian music videos which shows far more flesh and employs dirtier languages than BBN. Even the porn you mentioned has not been banned so why BBN? All these other shows you mentioned are great but there's no one body deciding which show should be produced, it's purely business/investment and anybody could start any show they feel is superior. It is not the fault of BBN producers that these other shows aren't on today.

The difference between Africa and here is that Africans don't create room for alternative lifestyles. We always want to sell our preferences as superior and we'd go out of our way to force others into it.
LiteratureRe: I Was Disappointed By Achebe’s Comment On My Nobel Prize – Soyinka by etrange:
I wasn't there, I don't really know what was said and why but from what I learned, the argument wasn't even about literature but something in the area of sociopolitics and Achebe made that banter to suggest that Soyinka's political views/actions weren't necessarily always correct just because he was a well established writer. It might have been just a banter or a statement meant to just strengthen his own argument but being an established writer himself, he should have chosen other ways to do that because regardless of the intentions, this could easily sell as jealousy.

I personally admire Achebe's writing skills much more than Soyinka's but this statement is/was a No-No for me.

I didn't bother commenting on that cause it was obviously scripted. No one videos herself being harsh and even if that happens by mistake, they wouldn't share it with the public. I'm not even her fan. It's just egregious that such scripted events would make a man born and raised by a lady to start typing trash about a whole gender from his country just to be "man".
