Ok, idea, The rest of the world demands access to 5 years of US citizens social media to enter their countries. Deny Nazi/Fash/Maga from leaving the US.

No idea about Texas. Other than SXSW, I’m not aware of their tourism.

But for FL, Disney didn’t bend the knee hard enough. That’s a feature.

I didn’t think you could amp-up pretentious at this rate. Do you eventually level off or just keep going further in hopes that people ban you?

If you wouldn’t have been grumpy about downvotes, i’d have left it be :)

The community is speaking to you.

No, we read part three, it just comes off pretentious enough that we think it still deserves a downvote. It’s not a foreign language anxiety; you’re posting in English. It’s just the next rendition of l33t speak, and no one is really in a hurry for that to catch back on again, those were dar days. I did eventually block the last guy that was hot on thorns, might get to you eventually, but it would be a shame, because outside of the ridiculous way you said it, your point isn’t wrong.

yeah, because tourism is doing so well now, we need more reasons to fuck over the industry

I think it’s more likely that 29 people feel pretty strongly negative about your writing style.

I have a friend in Florida. They have a guy that runs a business and does all their house repairs, fells trees, yada yada. His inlaws turned him in for being illegal (he’s not) He had his paperwork with him and they still shipped him off to Alligator Alcatraz. His wife hired a lawyer and had to do all kinds of crap to get him back out… on bail… because his mother-in-law called him an illegal.

They’re shipping people off to places unknown for ‘no law’ too.

Otherwise, simply refuse them passage rather than locking them up and charging them.

Could this be the beginning of the great unfuckening of Florida?

It would have to be the first step in a very long series of events that ends up unfucking them. Any traction they try to gain will be fought tooth and nail with scare tactics and lies to a TON of people that are ready and willing to accept any world-view affirmations as wrote.

A lot of people moved to Florida because they want it to be fucked exactly like it is and changes to the cities will likely breed more contempt than it enacts useful change.

If all the kids crap was removed from youtube, they wouldn’t have to worry about adding for storage for a decade.

Left to the imagination of the reader

No, they just happened to match police issued rounds exactly.

I ripped a ton of my stuff back in the day, guess I’ve been lucky, every generic BD drive i’ve used just worked.

But once you get past the “works” hurdle, the real struggle begins.

It’s slow, like really slow. Assuming you can find the right titles and convince makemkv extract them, it’s a start the process and go brew a cup of coffee slow. But hey, I’ve got time and you don’t need to watch it … mostly.

Depending on the disk, it’s still either crap quality or it takes up an ungodly amount of space. Even a decent sized drive buckles sooner or later if you’re generating 20GB images.

Unless you’re up on your network game, your streaming sticks/tv’s can hardly handle the throughput to stream the video.

So you encode the video. HEVC (which is getting dicey starting january as the royalties go up and processors stop support hardware decoding) or hopefully AV1, which still has spotty support in places. and the re-encode? The easy software isn’t free, the free software isn’t easy, but FFMPEG isn’t that hard to work with.

OR, you find an ISO provider and download it.

As far as I can tell, FUTO’s dictation is the best of the ‘private’ keyboards. I was using Heli, but had to tie someone else’s dictation into it, and since I mostly dictate, it was irritating the hell out of me.

The biggest problems I have with it are their leadership shenanigans, and I’m nonplussed that they didn’t use FOSS.

That said, I’m willing to give on FOSS for SA, if they’re not collecting/selling my data.

So I trust them not to sell my data with the aforementioned leadership crap? Yes, for now. But at first word of them getting hungry for money, I’ll re-evaluate what else I can get my hands on.

That said, they cannot have my swipe data; I’d rather not swipe if it comes down to that.

I think its obvious that it would/will go awry.

I’m not even sure that is possible, but I’d like to see us try something.

Maybe the best place to start is by allowing a microtransaction service into the UI and let people add their own API keys to known players.

Non-Gated Microtransactions in Peertube would be pretty cool. I don’t know that it would amount to anything, but it would be a damn good start

Not OP, but I’d work real fucking hard to give us something that can be a viable alternative to Youtube where a corporate monopoly doesn’t take 95% of the cash. It doesn’t even need to be federated, but we all see the shithole Odysee immediately became. We have a substantial number of people here with like interests and marginally like feelings on a lot of topics that would make great video content.

Peertube has been around for 7 years, and there isn’t enough content on it to occupy even a Linux nerd for more than 30 minutes a week. People are only making videos on YouTube because they can make some semblance of a living at it.

I think giving people who are willing to create videos some decent tools for monetization in open products would be a reasonably good idea. We have nothing there now; we don’t have anything to lose by it. It’s not like great content that doesn’t exist can be walled off to us.

This could be as easy as forking peertube and putting in patreon privitization links. Or it could be a federated version of KoFi that ties in.

Running on a 2016 intel processor with an old Nvidia 2070. I can watch about 3 streams on different devices at the same time.
