On a desktop PC, I have a dozen windows open.. the cat, Teddy, loves physicist #RichardFeynman (as do I), he recognized his voice, and came to watch with me. He's a smart #cat. Maybe he knows more than you? I didn't know Tanna Tuva, did you? https://youtu.be/Qeauwu2uIwM?si=44shNdbGW6HhJx7Y#video
Teddy knows now, he's fascinated by the two voices singing of Touva. He wants to be a philosopher when he grows up 😹

Now I have to use my phone, until the throat singing video is over..
'Tis the season for maple syrup making. For any who are curious about the history and process, I made a slideshow video about the process and you can watch it on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/548606103
It's just under 6 minutes watch. My voiceover.
Xiaomi releases a smaller premium phone that EMBARRASSES similar offerings from Samsung and Apple. Here's a first look at the Xiaomi 14! https://youtu.be/82U5t0S21k0
The main camera on this thing is pacing (and often outperforming) the main cameras on iPhones and Galaxy Ultras... 🤯
Well I’ve almost got my new live streaming/recording environment set up again in the new place and I can’t wait to start recording some new Kitten and Small Web videos again.
Whoa. Today is the 40th anniversary of the #Apple 1984 Superbowl commercial, directed by Ridley Scott. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPc
I found this restored copy. I've never seen all these tiny little details before. I'm so used to the old VHS rips of the ad...

I have a question for the #video format experts. Archive.org has some files in both Cinepack and H.264 formats. When I research Cinepack, most references I find describe it as an older format. The Cinepack files are much larger (e.g. 20GB vs 250MB). My interest is in extracting the highest possible quality audio from these files. Is it worth downloading the larger Cinepack files for this purpose? The video quality doesn't matter at all for this.
I'll tag @textfiles but I know he's a busy fella
I've been absent because I had surgery a few days ago. This is the first day I've felt like sitting a bit in front of the computer. Luckily, my bedroom window looks out onto the feeders. Here's a male Northern flicker for you. #birds#birding#birdsofmastodon#video#birdphotography#HoosierMast
📰 "Uświadomiliśmy sobie, że nikt nie jest w stanie konkurować z YouTube czy Twitchem. Potrzebowałbyś pieniędzy Google, farm serwerów Amazon... Przede wszystkim potrzebowałbyś chciwości, by wykorzystywać miliony twórców i wideomakerów, przygotowywać ich do formatowania ich treści zgodnie z twoimi potrzebami i karmić ich okruchami bogactwa, które zdobywasz, hodując ich widzów w inwentarzu danych.
Monopolistyczne scentralizowane platformy wideo mogą być utrzymywane tylko przez kapitalizm nadzoru.
Chcieliśmy, aby małe grupy, takie jak instytucje, nauczyciele, społeczności, artyści, obywatele itp. mogły pozwolić sobie na emancypację z platform Big Tech, nie gubiąc się w światowej sieci. Musieliśmy opracować narzędzie do demokratyzacji hostingu wideo, więc musieliśmy je zaprojektować z myślą o radykalnie innych wartościach.
I to właśnie zrobiliśmy. Zbudowaliśmy PeerTube, aby wzmocnić pozycję ludzi, a nie baz danych czy udziałowców."
My main concept is to turn the equipment that your players already have into magic items over time, to lessen the clutter and create a stronger relation between player character and magic item.
If you know me at all, you may know that I'm a sucker for a lovely #Rhodes sound. Given that fact, what do you think happens when #FractureSounds get in-touch and tell me 'We've got a free Rhodes plugin, would you like to try it?' Of course my answer is a resounding Yes!
This #video should hopefully show you just how much I enjoy the sound of #Blueprint Electric Keys, and honestly I think you will too.
The library weighs in at around 2.2 GB, runs in the free Kontakt 7 Player, uses one NKI file and has #NKS support which is how I'm using it in this video.
#YouTube’s algorithm has been “off” the past couple of months.
As a viewer, I constantly see recommended videos that are from hyper specific niches that have zero overlap with my interests or watch history.
As a #creator, I hate looking at my #analytics. My videos get suggested for completely irrelevant audiences and it tanks my reach because obviously nobody clicks.
This #video actually explains the whole situation fairly well:
YouTube is trying to ratchet MORE user data out of folks wanting to keep their browsing private. Now you'll get a blank homepage, and a direct link to your watch history settings (no longer on YouTube, but buried OBNOXIOUSLY in menus on Google).
A blank page with NO recommendations on "youtube dot com"?
