@AlgoCompSynth @vkc agreed, and TBH exactly why I picked Cinnamon from this list!Though I may try LXQt next time I'm sitting in front of a Linux partition.

Here’s a question as I’m doing research for a future video.Who is funding the development of the Wayfire compositor?

The thing nobody remembers about the punching bagIt inevitably bounces backAnd if the boxer isn’t carefulIt will shatter his fucking nose.

This weekend really restored a lot of my faith in humanity, as well as my faith in this goofy corner of the fediverse.You all are awesome. Let's get this.

Anyway, I casually mentioned that I have a wife in my last Patron update and lost a bunch of patrons as a result.So, like, apparently I can't even share that anymore without losing my income. So yeah... I'm heading offline for a bit this weekend to regroup. Strongly encourage anyone else who cares about themselves or their community to do the same from time to time.

@vkc would be nice if it could support some kind of canonical URL like the web.

@vkc Unfortunately it seems that there's no real solution for harassment and other terrible things happening against women, LGTBIQ+ people, racialized individuals, etc. in social networks such as Youtube or Twitter, as long as they're managed by their current owners.

@vkc Exposure to what, the lint in the bottom of your own wallet? My fedi friends, if you want good content, support the creators you like, however you can.#FediFund

I hate to be so blunt about it, but without supporters to help build a successful PeerTube platform, you just wont see it grow.If a creator you enjoy is pumping out PeerTube videos, support them so they can keep going. It's that simple.I lose money on PeerTube month after month, and if you-all want to see a YouTube alternative, you have to... fund us.

How much more carbon is each Google search emitting now? That's weighing on me lately: I've resolved to drop Google searches as much as I can.I have mostly used DuckDuckGo over the past few years, and longtime readers may remember that I actually gave up search engines entirely for months (after a failed experiment using Kagi).But with Google increasingly shoving AI down my throat on every search, now those results are worse than ever, both in terms of quality and environmental impact.

Tomorrow at 11AM America/Chicago, I will be doing a member-exclusive livestream of my first impressions with HaikuOS, installing it on an old desktop I found at Free Geek Twin Cities.If you'd like to watch at home, tiers start at $2/mo. I don't have a non-explaining gig at the moment, so this is how I fund life- your consideration is appreciated!https://patreon.com/VeronicaExplainshttps://ko-fi.com/VeronicaExplains

In a world where pessimism is the only product, optimism is radical. Joy is rebellion.

@ed @juandesant @vkc Those pieces get a steady flow of readers, month after month. Makes me happy because I had fun writing them.

Now, if your video is scripted, as mine often are, I have a much simpler solution:1. In YouTube Studio, after uploading the video, I upload the script inside the "subtitles" tab.2. I wait like an hour before publishing the videoThat's it. I don't think creators have much excuse anymore for poor captions. Other than you just don't want as many folks to enjoy your work.

Move slow and fix things.
