- Comment on GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse 2 weeks ago:
For those wondering what’s different with GoToSocial:
This project sprang up in February/March 2021 out of a dissatisfaction with the safety + privacy features of other Federated microblogging/social media applications, and a desire to implement something a little different.

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.
- Comment on A fake recording of a candidate saying he’d rigged the election went viral. Experts say it’s only the beginning 3 months ago:
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

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

- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 4 months ago:
For anyone wondering:
- 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.
- 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.
- The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: mfkl.github.io/…/unity-double-oss-standards.html

- Comment on How to Use Social Media as an Artist Without Destroying Your Soul - StayGrounded.online 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Today I'm launching Flare, a video sharing site built on Nostr! 🎉 Like YouTube, ... 4 months ago:
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.

- Comment on What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming? 5 months ago:
This. If you want to start coding on your own computer, the Python IDLE is great for beginners (it’s probably inside a package named
idle
). Just click on ‘File > New’ to start writing a new program and press the F5 key to run it! - Comment on Sony Steals Customers' Purchased Content - Piracy is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED! 5 months ago:

It depends. Does any of them have a phone app?
- Comment on I'll just sort it myself 8 months ago:
As many people have pointed out already, this happens because JavaScript was rushed. But why do we still use a language whose foundation was built in only ten days(!) for scripting on webpages we build today? Why hasn’t there been a push for web browsers to support other scripting languages (other than maybe Dart)?

Thanks. It’s just that I was confused because they shut down Disney Interactive a few years ago.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry 8 months ago:
Question: why was Disney involved in the negotiation regarding video games? afaik they currently don’t own any studios nor publishers.
