So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • Leaving spotify, offline music options?

    Jump

  • Thrift shops, dedicated music stores if any still exist in your local area, and even niche online stores like Discogs, among other sellers.

    Jump

  • Well, for starters you could start buying CDs again and then do your own FLAC rips from those.

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • I'd recommend NileRed and NileBlue, if only some of his vids didn't involve things that would be seriously harmful for kids to mess with and that clearly are meant for adults learning chemistry to mess with, eg. like boiling or distilling sulfuric acid to purify it, which of course if hot sulfuric acid gets out of control, you got a massive disaster and easily severe skin burns, for example.

    Otherwise, there should be plenty of science communicators which aren't sellouts that are also age-appropriate for kids to be following along with.

  • Acer and Asus halt PC and laptop sales in Germany amid H.264 codec patent dispute — Nokia wins patent ruling, forcing tech giants to license HEVC codec

    Jump

  • How soon before x264 and x265 end up getting pulled and h.264 and h.265 support gets locked to Windows like is happening with HDMI 2.1 being blocked on Linux?

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • Some of those I wouldn't exactly trust as they're going to be mostly pushing agendas from the private equity firms that own them, eg. like Veritasium.

  • What happens when everyone just moves from discord to the public matrix server?

    Jump

  • What do you think is the worst human invention?

    Jump

  • The nuclear bomb, easily.

    .....Proprietary software is a very distant second place.

  • A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox

    Jump

  • Good thing the Fediverse and Matrix exist, then.

    Jump

  • Right after Discord.

  • How do I fix "This content isn't available. Try again later." On YouTube with their new ad-block blocking?

    Jump

  • Use one of the few Invidious instances that still exist while that's still an option, although I have a bad feeling this sorta thing is screwing with Invidious too because I've had a few streams corrupt when skipping through the vid before.

    Grayjay is also an option, while it's still an option.

  • Whats a good hobby to get into, as someones whos home alot with a laptop?

    Jump

  • If you have the resources to spare, grab a pad of paper and a basic #2 pencil, or a box of crayons, colored pencils, chalk, charcoal, whatever, and pick up drawing with it?

    Also, there's plenty of easy, and actually kinda fun, crafts you could mess around with.

    Although, given this is traditional art or crafts I'm suggesting, you'll also need some way to digitize it if you want to show it off online.

  • Anyone have a favorite musical?

    Jump

  • I've never really been that much of a musical fan generally, but if animated musicals count, then Lion King is always a win, as well as Nightmare before Christmas.

    Also, there are some Muppets flicks that are pretty good too, A Muppet Christmas Carol has some songs that legit could've gotten radio play, for example, such as 'Marley & Marley.'

  • What do you want out of someone you're on a first date with?

    Jump

  • If we're compatible with each other, and also to just have fun.

  • ‘Ripping’ Clips for YouTube Reaction Videos can Violate the DMCA, Court Rules * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What are your top 2 favourite childhood TV shows?

    Jump

  • The episodes after Brian got killed and resurrected have gone off the deep end in terms of being outright sadistic, though.

    Jump

  • 30sec IIRC.

  • ‘Ripping’ Clips for YouTube Reaction Videos can Violate the DMCA, Court Rules * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • 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?

    Jump

  • Modern Family Guy especially.

  • What's your favorite production of A Christmas Carol?

    Jump

  • Scrooged is a great cynical, dark humor take on the IP, and of course A Muppet Christmas Carol gets a mention as well.
