The episodes after Brian got killed and resurrected have gone off the deep end in terms of being outright sadistic, though.

30sec IIRC.

What if you downloaded your own videos to post to Odysee or PeerTube now in an attempt to at least have them on a non-Google platform? Will that be a DMCA violation even if you’re the one who made those videos in the first place?

Similarly, could something like this also put the existence of alternative video platforms like the aforementioned Odysee and PeerTube at risk too?

Also, could this have implications for fan works now too?

Modern Family Guy especially.

Scrooged is a great cynical, dark humor take on the IP, and of course A Muppet Christmas Carol gets a mention as well.

Well, I was pretty big into Magic School Bus for a while when I was still of the age to be watching that sorta thing, as in I had some VHS tapes of that show, and tbh its animation still holds up really well 30+ years on (RIP Nelvana unless things change for the better for them; they’re pretty much a licensing company now for the time being), and oh, for davidgro, this was another PBS show that had a banger theme song, made by the late Little Richard, and I remember liking Clifford and Arthur well enough too.

Rugrats was also one of my earliest memories in this regard and I liked it a lot too, and it’s also really cute looking back onto it as well.

Bazzite has newer drivers, ditto for CachyOS Handheld Edition for another SteamOS clone.

If possible, maybe get a separate machine to throw Windows on and then keep your personal rig on Linux?

Fuck that, we trying to bring back mining-era company towns that will inevitably fail now?

I hope people like having a ‘New Appalachia,’ because the situation in Appalachia is exactly what happens when company towns go under.

Never thought the EPA of all organizations would be pro-Right to Repair given their history of fining anyone who messes with emissions gear out of existence.

PeerTube exists and you can get funding through LiberaPay among other crowdfunding platforms.

You can both host your own ATproto PDS and even sign up for or migrate to third parties like Blacksky; for now. I won’t be surprised if Bsky corporate started getting hostile to that and closed-sourcing ATproto and both paywalling self-hosted PDSes and C&Ding third parties like the aforementioned Blacksky at some point though.

ActivityPub at least doesn’t have that problem, and also, unless you can interface with Blacksky’s infrastructure, self-hosted PDSes still have to deal with Bsky corporate’s centralized infrastructure on some level at least for moderation, where if you self-host an ActivityPub instance, assuming this is on hardware you physically own and control, you own the whole thing.

I got both those accounts and the entire lemdro.id instance blocked.

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/media 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 or even having it drip all over you if you’re making something big enough for people to play in, eg. like a big dome for people to draw on both inside and out, 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.
