  I’ve been trying to remember and watch all the old YouTube videos I loved before they disappear either completely or behind a paywall that I won’t pay.

  Let’s get some shoes. Let’s get some shoes. OMG! Shoes!

  All of that will be gone soon. Not just the space where people can let their creativity flow, but where there is nearly 2 decades of that kind of creativity archived.

    Download those videos while you still can, use youtube-dlp.

    I actually just went through my old favorites (that are still accessible) and downloaded them with jdownloader last weekend.

      :( I should probably archive anything I ever enjoyed. I wish I had put more time into remembering what those all were, I was too busy just having fun. I had entirely forgotten about Liam Kyle Sullivan, including that was what his name was, until very recently. Muffins was uploaded in 2007, am I officially old? Pre2010 YouTube was so simple. I remember uploading runescape videos to YouTube before Google bought it.

        Pretty much. Even if seemingly every website wasn’t diving into anti-user nonsense, things online don’t last forever. I think it’s worthwhile to make a backup of pretty much anything you feel is worth the effort and space.

  What can’t I do with FOSS though?

  Whatever you’re about to say, let’s crowd fund it. I’m not even kidding.

    Use industry software standards. Adobe, Autodesk etc etc. I know, these solutions sucks, but it is the world people live it. Most Lemmy people are into tech for the sake of tech. You are technological literate to the highest degree. Understand and critique developments in tech. Very important work! However, a graphical designer probably isn’t that literate and wouldn’t be able to do work in a Foss environment. Yes, 1 in a 1000 might use Gimp but good luck colabbing with other people in the industry.

      The artist who makes Pepper and Carot comic uses the open source Krita. mastodon.online/@FediFollows/106596993208066262

      Yeah I know Gimp doesn’t use(or didn’t last time I checked) CMYK and as someone who does QA for flexographic printing, I know how that’s important.

      You’d think the world would put some effort into getting away from Adobe. All my homies hate Adobe.

      So. Why don’t we crowd fund our way to better solutions for these things?

        Krita is actually a very professional choice for some things people think they need Adobe products for. And it looks like Krita has CMYK support. Giving Krita more attention that it deserves would be welcome.

      You mean like personally hosting it or something?

      • trougnouf@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        There are open models that one can download on HuggingFace and run locally, but they are not as good as ChatGPT4 which has had insane amounts of resources thrown at.

    Security camera stuff is really lacking. The only good one is zoneminder and it barely works.
