my Dad is bad at computers

Have you looked at Endless OS? It depends on what your father uses his computer for, but if it’s mostly web browsing, it could be nice for him.

And I’ve heard it took years until someone managed to do it

Good job with that alt text

1. Put an exclamation mark right behind the square brackets (like this ![]()) for an image to be displayed
2. Put a short description of what you can find on the picture between the square brackets (like this ![a cute black and white cat]()). This is helpful for blind people to know what your image is about.

One side of me is asking “Seriously, who thought that dividing a day in 1000 units would be useful?”

The other side of me can’t wait for me to start saying to my friends “A’ight, meet me at @960”.

The recordings immediately went viral on social media, and the candidate, who is pro-NATO and aligned with Western interests, was defeated in September by an opponent who supported closer ties to Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Why is it always the Russian hackers? /s

You’d pet the foot?!

Litterally this. I won’t (and most people won’t) feel morally wrong once I stop paying for Disney’s content.

Every time I look at it, I see that the current web landscape is a hot mess.

Boo, what a blatant copy of the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ /s

For anyone wondering:

1. There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
2. This plugin isn’t made by VideoLAN, it’s made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
3. The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html

Can’t wait for the tech reviews on this thing.

You missed the whole point of the article. If you don’t have social media, you pretty much aren’t advertising yourself. (What will you do instead? Ask people who like your art to show it to friends and family? Putting up posters in the streets saying “Please look at my art”?) No advertisement, no new fans of yours. No new fans of yours, no money from your art.

As far as I can tell, content published via the Nostr protocol cannot be deleted, and this seems to be using it, so there’s that. Also, it seems like it allows you to easily send crypto to the video creator…? There’s also the fact that, whenever multiple are watching the same video at the same time, Peertube can pretty much create a P2P network to speed up download speeds, which I think no other video platform does.

Since we’re sharing YouTube videos around, I suggest this video by Jeff Geerling about how to legally own and stream media (Piped link)

Really liked the video! It maybe was just me, but the intro/outro song felt a bit too loud though…

Spotify claims that “because of streaming, the music industry in Uruguay has grown 20% in 2022 alone.”

Yeah, sure, you must be totally right.
