That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

Fuck this, I’d rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Stroads in particular are one of man’s worst inventions IMO.

Don’t plan to, haven’t really cared about sports in general for ages now.

Nothing is stopping you from picking up some air-dry clay and making pinch pots if you can’t swing for a wheel for some reason and don’t have access to a kiln (although air-dry can also be thrown on a wheel). It’s not like plaster, paper mache, or tile mosaics/stepping stones that need a lot of room to spread out due to just how messy those projects specifically can be.

Tile mosaics would be really fun (I never even made a stepping stone in grade school), but it’s way too messy between mixing up cement and pouring it out into molds of some type in order to stick the tiles into, let alone smashing up a bunch of big tiles into shards to use for such a project, to be feasible atm, ditto for anything dealing with plaster.

Paper mache, a medium I haven’t messed with since middle school, would also be really fun to pick up again some day, but just like plaster and tile mosaics/stepping stones, it’s also too messy to be feasible right now; not only will you have paste dripping everywhere due to the nature of paper mache as a medium, but you’re also going to at least be up to your wrists in it, possibly up to your elbows depending on how big you’re going, but you’re also basically playing in slime all day with that project which is why it’s as fun as it is.

Not even that, per Louis Rossmann, you don’t even get a full penny in ad revenue, just fractions of a penny. YT’s ad revenue system is a scam.

PeerTube which can simultaneously be an alternative to YT and Twitch both although it primarily aims to be a YT alternative, and also Owncast as well for an alternative to Twitch specifically.

Loops works as a Titkok alternative.

As for monetization on PeerTube, you could get funding through platforms like LiberaPay.

Here’s the archived version.

Rewritten version snapshot

You’d be better off doing this on one of the Fediverse platforms that can’t be easily censored, guys.

GIMP and Krita are aimed at Photoshop, while RawTherapee and Darktable are aimed at Lightroom, and Inkscape is aimed at Illustrator.

Good luck. Take away the main reason people move off Windows to begin with and see how well that goes, especially for alt-init distros.

Good luck.

Oh hell no, Netflix better not be trying to EEE Blender or be trying to buy them out.

I thought it was talking about streetcars at first, and AFAIK most people know the story behind that by now; but if they don’t, Big Autos, GM specifically, basically killed the streetcar by straight-up taking it over via buyout.

As if there aren’t already plenty of instances which aren’t hosted on Big Tech to choose from; a commonly recommended instance for artists or crafters being MakerTube, for example.

That would kinda go against the whole point of PeerTube as Google could just take down those instances hosted on their servers if they deem them hostile, or worse, try to EEE PeerTube somehow.

I’m referring to last time I looked around which was a while ago, and I’m in Lawton, OK, so not really a high-income area.

ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, is genuinely decentralized, and ActivityPub itself is ran by W3C, an international standards organization, while Mastodon is ran by a nonprofit, meanwhile both Bsky and ATproto are ran by a private corporation, ATproto is still semi-centralized, and since ATproto is ran by a private corporation, assuming the VC money runs out and Bsky corporate needs to start to profit somehow to stay afloat, there’s nothing stopping them from closed-sourcing ATproto (as rugpulling of this sort is legal in permissive licenses like what ATproto is licensed under) and starting to either push ads in it, paywall certain features of it, or both, for example.

Blacksky actually managed to completely split itself off from Bsky corporate infrastructure, but what if Bsky corporate gets hostile against that?

Here’s another shot of some tree shadows because I thought they looked cool, this time using my Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens with the Lumix.

Or even PeerSuite for that matter, moreso if a PeerSuite session is additionally ran through an anonymous protocol like I2P, assuming that’s possible. I mean, PeerSuite doesn’t require an account, doesn’t use servers, talks through encrypted WebRTC channels, and doesn’t leave a paper trail by default, coordinating protests is a perfect use case for it because people could start up a session to plan said protest, and then close the session without a trace when they’re done.
