What's the status of video editting in the Open Source world? My kid seems to want to do video editting (loves the idea of making portals, he's drawing them and filming them on his tablet, but wants the shimmer)
Just keep in mind that if it was a corporate social network - the difference would be 1) the FBI would send a letter not a raid 2) you wouldn't know it had happened
One of the biggest traps I see is that communication and effective action is called incompetence
When Chapters/Indigo took down their store after a ransomware attack my dad kept telling me how incompetent it made them seem. In my opinion, they are the only sensible store I've ever seen. After that I trust their team has the resources to do their job.
Sure, an instance got raided, but they did the right things afterward. And if you can tell me where I can find a remote instance with enough disk, ram, and cpu to figure out wtf on a prod DB, you let me know
Security is the tool by which we protect privacy and increase safety.
Saying something increases security while reducing privacy *better* come with a coherent argument about safety, otherwise you're probably a bootlicker.
Aw shit! A rumour that makes all of the "Wait and See maybe Meta isn't evil" look very stupid. If the rumour is true, it turns out that Meta is indeed evil. If the rumour is untrue... uh... maybe you should check any other source about if Meta is evil
oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse
tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case
@vantablack Any idea how Louis learned this? I tracked down the original conversation on his timeline and someone else asked him the same question--he hadn't answered yet. He seems like a decent guy but I think he's inferring/guessing rather than knowing per se.
I went to sign up my kid for the local school's stupid SaaS product that, according to the school, has the main feature of adding a 2.9% transaction fee to all trips and other assorted school fees.
Yeah I've seen so many of these micro service companies.
They see the big money schools get and want a share, and they find a way to save administration time, they just do it very poorly.
I think it's more of a problem that school administrators and staff don't want to do the same work they've always done for their pay which is fair, but this isn't the way.
@Aaron A Brown 🌱 Some reddits are opening and I posted a screenshot I saw in another thread. But it's entirely a rumour I am repeating, but seems correct.
@Memos from Lofwyr Is there a standard gift saying "we're sorry you woke up and had to chase us , but we also really don't want you to know who we are?"
1) you make some chocolate donut holes (and call them Timbits) 2) you make a lemon creamcheese icing 3) you drizzle the icing over a bowl of the timbits
@silverwizard I thought it went like this: - Q1: January, February, March - Q2: April, May, June - Q3: July, August, September - Q4: October, November, December
Although there may be difference between calendar year and fiscal year 🤷♂️
I have a PinePower Desktop on my desk - and my headphones refuse to say if they're charging, but the thing says how many amps the port is putting out - so I can just *see* if they are charging - and this is one of the most convenient parts of the device
Bad at posting and dropped off the face of the fediverse for a good 6 months, but excited to be making a book for my 4 yo starring him and based on his current favourite book series. This is a picture of the cover I've made so far. Seems to warrent a post :)
Somebody please tell me if I did alt text correctly or tell me what I'm doing wrong if I didn't... I have never managed to get it right 😞😳
@Hypolite Petovan lol! It's based on an existing book series as if we're adding him as a character to the series in his own book. So the dragon masters books exist with that font already (I tried my best to copy it) the rest is all original thoughts and work, including the secondary title. I'm not the most skilled artist imo, but I'm seeking advice from a friend on ways to improve it 😊.... Shæ gave us imput on some story points he'd like to be in it and Sean's put them together into a cohesive story arc
I understand it's really easy to build a lil' car out of a disposable camera using the motors for film winding or whatever - but I've never done it. I've looked for guides on how to do it - but I mostly find the dumb like "here's a tazer from a camera" instructions.
If we get our domain added to all the RBLs then we can just shut down the company I can find a new job and my stock options can be worthless - makes the Startup life go faster
are we talking about general emails (like direct communication with customers and prospects), or marketing campaign/mailing lists?
If the latter, you may consider using a service that is dedicated to this type of messaging (Sengrid, Mailchimp, whatever). It will have its own DKIM signature and a different origin (of course present in SPF records), and would make human, hand-crafted artisan messages written with love less likely to be blocked by a blanket RBL listing.
If the former, then maybe you don't need salespeople after all. Just an OpenAI API subscription and a couple of scripts.
@Hypolite Petovan at least the writer's strike is about the studios acknowledging they are gonna go: make AI write useless script hire writer as an *editor* and violate guild rules but try to be a dick on a technicality where Draft 0 was by AI
