@Paroxia A ver, es que desde el principio no fue más que una estafa para cargarse el concepto de _software_ libre, que obliga a compartir las modificaciones. Siempre que veo a alguien utilizar la expresión “_open source_” en un sentido positivo, pienso que, en el mejor de los casos, es oposición controlada.

@elrohir

@mangeurdenuage Looks pretty good. And welcoming. I wouldn't put the bottles at the side of table, though.

And she saw that as a problem? I'd be ecstatic if no face scanners could recognise me.

@BlackMastodon

@coolboymew Soon...

To be honest, I always thought (or should I say ‘hoped’?) "Bob" would be on the side of the freakout.

There seems to be quite a lot of magical thinking in the way some people read stuff, by which I mean that they will always interpret it in a way that suits their biases. I wonder if I'm guilty of that, too.

This is related (but not the same, I believe) as what happens when we argue with someone and we try to extract the parts of their argument that may give force to our own response to it. If you think about it, this selective ‘argumenteering’ is ultimately what causes the effect described by Godwin's Law.

@StefanThinks Either you tried to buy women's clothes (not judging) or elegant, one-time ones (i.e., suits for weddings, royal receptions, _Neujahrkonzerten_, etc.).

This kind of clothes don't have pockets because if you were to carry anything in them, they would lose their shape and that is considered _not_ elegant. Also, in certain social situations you're not supposed to walk around with your hands in your pockets.

@lydiaconwell It's sad to see that Caitlin has such a misguided and ignorant opinion about Fedi. She was one of the few people from Twitter I was hoping to follow here.

But it's not surprising, given that she didn't even take the time to hang around here, and followed the lazy, cross-posting route.

There are a lot of shitlibs here, though. That part is true. (BTW, I assumed the NFT comment was made in jest, as in, “I know there are things I can do to make my experience better there, but I'm not tech-savvy and I'm not willing to learn because fuck you. You're not worthy of me.”)

@veer66 It is explained in the next verse: “Te regalo mis piernas./Recuesta tu cabeza en ellas.” [I give you my legs. Lay your head in them.]

@mangeurdenuage Wow. It's like God was out to get them.

@Danielsand
> Hopefully Reddit does the right thing and reversed their decision on the API and mod tools.

I'm afraid you don't get it. The goal is not to have them reverse their decisions. The goal is for Reddit to burn to the ground.

@volkris Well, the problem is, of course, that some admins think that having different opinions from them «is a threat to the fundamental infrastructure of the system.»

@lilly

Or... you can acknowledge the fact that sysadmins exist and that they study and get paid for installing and maintaing systems, and you can hire one to do exactly that instead of putting yourself in the hands of some unknown person or entity whose ultimate goal is to turn you into a consumer of the program that is rightfully yours and set their own terms for its maintenance.

@markusl Absolutely agree. Given the resources, technical videos should always come with an accompanying blog post.

@ChrisWere

@tilvids Sorry for the Marxist terminology, but I've always been of the opinion that creators should seize the means of production by joining together on an instance where they can share costs and resources.

I'm talking about hiring someone to create a plugin that allows them to add ads to videos and at least one professional editor.

IMHO, TILvids is a very good starting point, but more could, and should, be done to make #PeerTube a sustainable platform for creators and by creators.

I think most instances lack a sense of purpose, and that's a shame.

@ChrisWere

@markusl I wouldn't say text is _always_ better, but, IMHO, technical information videos require a level of editing sophistication to make them engaging that is not always available to hobbyists.

I don't always consume gaming videos, but I watch them sometimes thanks to my nephew. What sticks with me is that most streamers of at least medium size do interact with their audience (even when they become so big that they couldn't possibly read the walls of text, they still try to engage them in the conversation), which is why live streaming seems to me to be naturally suited for gaming videos.

There's also the question of what games are good for streaming and which ones are not. I remember being very entertained by @ChrisWere's TuxKart videos, but not so much by the latest ones.

Finally, about talking heads videos, I believe those need both (at least some degree of) script writing and editing. Unless you're innately funny and/or entertaining, it is very hard to keep someone's attention for more than, say, five minutes just by talking, even if it's a topic the other person is interested in. Most people, including myself as you can see, tend to rumble and that needs to be cut.

Finally, I'm Gen X and I have no education whatsoever on this stuff, so take what I said with a grain of salt.

@Wilma__ La diferencia es que si el padre lo hace suele ser por alguna ocasión especial. (No mi padre, que odia _todos_ los restaurantes, tanto los de comida rápida como de normal.) En mi experiencia, la madre lo hace cuando llega tan tarde a casa (de comprar, no de trabajar) que no le da tiempo a hacer nada y tiene que venir con algo precocinado.

Por supuesto, te concedo que los padres no suelen cocinar (aunque mi padre sí solía hacerlo los fines de semana) y que las madres, hoy en día, suelen trabajar y tienen perfecto derecho a pedir fuera cuando vuelven a casa, faltaría más. Pero el estereotipo, _en su día_ y en mi caso concreto, era real.
