I also make videos, on the PeerTube instance MakerTube, and not YouTube! I like computery-things and memes. https://makertube.net/a/richie_g/video-channels https://cyberplace.social/@richiegolds [email protected]

That Windows XP installation must be baffled to see 2TB of storage!
Today’s the day that #microsoft is considering hundreds of millions of perfectly good computers e-waste. Instead of throwing that PC away and upgrading like the good little consumer M$ wants you to be, now’s a good time to learn something new, and give #linux a go.
I don’t understand buttercream. It’s too much. I both like it and I don’t. The cakes it gets put on are denser than I am at 6:00 AM without coffee. Thinking about that Black Forest cake, and my stomach is both turning and wanting a little more. That’s what I get for cutting down sugar for so long.
I had to recycle mine recently. The battery swelled up, and replacing a swollen battery in these is kind of a no-go. Broke my heart. It was my first iPod!
Literally though. I spend a lot of time scouring the DVD section of thrift stores!
Ah yes, a time when YouTube was actually good. Nothing but a distant memory now. I’ve moved on from 2025 YouTube. I don’t miss it.
Literally though tf! It’s just as bad to be trying to reach the speed of traffic when merging, but the vehicle in front insists on merging 30+ below, forcing you to merge slowly too! Sorry Caravan driver, but I like not being a hazard on the road!
The game that I just lost. (I lost the game.)
So. Shooting the intro and hardware overview took me about 5 hours in total, including the setup for these particular photos. That footage should condense down to about 10 minutes or so. And to think in my earlier days, I could have a video filmed and uploaded inside of 5 hours.
Oh snap! I'm finally getting back to work! I teased this video months ago, and I'm finally getting around to re-shooting it now that I have more space to actually do this properly. #videomaking #retropc #retrocomputer #pentium4 #shuttlexpc #oldpc #oldcomputer
Boy am I ever glad I got away from YouTube when I did. Definitely worth avoiding this privacy catastrophe.
That doesn’t work for me, my computer is a penguin.
I really hate that it’s this way. Garbage articles should not be so readily available without big, bold disclaimers that it’s not based in reality.
They make money. They exist to fire (a certain group of) people up and drive clicks. The more outrageous the headline, the more attention it gets, and the more ad revenue it receives. Probably more to it than that, but that’s what I think of off the top of my head.
It's always important to vet information they find. Some models, like ChatGPT, actually provide sources which we can check. It's invaluable to have a tool that can assist with script writing, but blindly trusting them is irresponsible. The hands that wield the tool are just as important.
(Interaction is limited because Bluesky is not a good place to have arguments with random people online.)
I use AI to assist with my videos - polishing scripts, finding info I can verify, and brainstorming ideas (read: using it responsibly). If that’s a problem for you, you’re free to mute or unfollow. It doesn’t bother me, and I’ll keep creating videos the way that works for me.
