And Invidious, FreeTube, and Grayjay, and potentially even Odysee, PeerTube, and Rumble.

Not to mention the ramifications it might have beyond video and potentially affect the very concept of fan works. Like, imagine if some innocent fanart you drew and posted to, say, Mastodon or Pixelfed, or even to Bsky for that matter, is now a DMCA violation if this ruling is extended to apply to that sorta thing too.

30sec IIRC.

What if you downloaded your own videos to post to Odysee or PeerTube now in an attempt to at least have them on a non-Google platform? Will that be a DMCA violation even if you’re the one who made those videos in the first place?

Similarly, could something like this also put the existence of alternative video platforms like the aforementioned Odysee and PeerTube at risk too?

Also, could this have implications for fan works now too?

Bazzite has newer drivers, ditto for CachyOS Handheld Edition for another SteamOS clone.

If possible, maybe get a separate machine to throw Windows on and then keep your personal rig on Linux?

Fuck that, we trying to bring back mining-era company towns that will inevitably fail now?

I hope people like having a ‘New Appalachia,’ because the situation in Appalachia is exactly what happens when company towns go under.

PeerTube exists and you can get funding through LiberaPay among other crowdfunding platforms.

I got both those accounts and the entire lemdro.id instance blocked.

Don’t plan to, haven’t really cared about sports in general for ages now.

Not even that, per Louis Rossmann, you don’t even get a full penny in ad revenue, just fractions of a penny. YT’s ad revenue system is a scam.

PeerTube which can simultaneously be an alternative to YT and Twitch both although it primarily aims to be a YT alternative, and also Owncast as well for an alternative to Twitch specifically.

Loops works as a Titkok alternative.

As for monetization on PeerTube, you could get funding through platforms like LiberaPay.

GIMP and Krita are aimed at Photoshop, while RawTherapee and Darktable are aimed at Lightroom, and Inkscape is aimed at Illustrator.

Good luck. Take away the main reason people move off Windows to begin with and see how well that goes, especially for alt-init distros.

ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, is genuinely decentralized, and ActivityPub itself is ran by W3C, an international standards organization, while Mastodon is ran by a nonprofit, meanwhile both Bsky and ATproto are ran by a private corporation, ATproto is still semi-centralized, and since ATproto is ran by a private corporation, assuming the VC money runs out and Bsky corporate needs to start to profit somehow to stay afloat, there’s nothing stopping them from closed-sourcing ATproto (as rugpulling of this sort is legal in permissive licenses like what ATproto is licensed under) and starting to either push ads in it, paywall certain features of it, or both, for example.

Blacksky actually managed to completely split itself off from Bsky corporate infrastructure, but what if Bsky corporate gets hostile against that?

Or even PeerSuite for that matter, moreso if a PeerSuite session is additionally ran through an anonymous protocol like I2P, assuming that’s possible. I mean, PeerSuite doesn’t require an account, doesn’t use servers, talks through encrypted WebRTC channels, and doesn’t leave a paper trail by default, coordinating protests is a perfect use case for it because people could start up a session to plan said protest, and then close the session without a trace when they’re done.

Can’t you just run your existing retro consoles if you still have them, through an upscaler such as an OSSC, RetroTink or derivatives, or a FrameMeister, though?

Also, the XB360 and PS3 are new enough that they can just interface through HDMI like any other modern AV component. Similarly, XB360 emulation sucks right now, and PS3 emulation while better than XB360 emulation, isn’t all there either vs. running original hardware.

Misskey seems like it might be a viable alternative if only their server list wasn’t under maintenance.

Aww.

-sigh- Richard Scarry’s rolling in his grave.

Even the Fediverse sadly isn’t entirely safe from AI bots as they’ve been messing with Lemmy for a while now.
