I thought we didn't have any old photos of him, but I found one recently. I don't want to show my real face and the blog I had it on blurred my face anyways, so I decided I would do a tribute redraw. At least sketchy, like, with an obviously converted very 80s or earlier couch we had at the time. > > I got the idea to do it last night as I slept, and I woke up at 2am and decided to just go at it until now at 6am so I guess in a way it's rushed, but I got the feeling I wanted out of it.

    Is there an actual/viable youtube alternative or will google forever have an iron fist as a video platform?
  • I think the problem is just the massive storage costs of holding lots of video. Youtube is king because anyone can upload whatever, at any amount, but instances of peertube have to monitor their usage closely.

    I was uploading to one only for vtubers, and they said they had enough money for 6months or so without dono help, but one month someone attacked or something and just ended up consuming videos at a repeated and huge enough rate that they got a surprise bill that was just too high. They also near the end had to turn off better streaming encoding because it was bandwidth heavy.

  • why they gotta be sexy. Like, I wish they had some personality, I am 99% sure buttercup would never be happy in that outfit.

  • Best. Cat. Ever.
  • Except when the cat was raised with dogs and no other cats. Met many a cat who thought they were a dog. (or dogs who thought they were cats)

  • Real meat vs Beyond meat
  • I upvoted your post 1/2 way through just for the sheer effort of information. (and did continue reading, I just have nothing of value to add)

  • Real meat vs Beyond meat
  • you're not going to fault me for buying a chicken burger are you?

    There are TONS of people who will do that exact thing. what is or is not a sandwich or burger (is a burger a type of sandwich?) for some reason is a stupidly contentious topic that people feel passionate about.

    People take labels and their individual expectations of that label pretty emotionally.

  • As far as public support goes, why aren't disabilities and chronic illnesses treated in a similar manner to LGBT issues?
  • For those asking for something that needs help/awareness, chronic pain sufferers (and disabled, but speaking from chronic pain myself) pretty much always have diminished mental clarity due to being in pain or stressed all the time. We can be seen as lazy when we don't have a job or have a hard time contributing, but I think people don't realize that getting medical shit done in america is like a full time job. The amount of hoops you need to jump through, repeat appointments to get your doctor to actually listen to your concerns, dealing with administration of doctors, insurance, and government because THEY STILL COMMUNICATE THROUGH FAXES, and just being dead tired of being a broken human being. You have to shout and scream basically or you will be pushed to the wayside.

    So basically, please be aware of invisible illnesses and have patience. We may have the physical capability to do a task on a good day, but shit can get so beaten down. Also medically insurance covered, like, managers/secretaries that help you navigate this bullshit would be great. A real job as a medical advocate for a person should exist.

    There could also be more awareness spread against the stigma/stereotype of people coasting off disability. (Often it's snuffed when it's mental) It's not really enough to live on, it can be taken away extremely easily, you have to resign yourself to poverty because if you can make some money you aren't truly disabled. That and disability submission takes 6 months to process, in which most people are denied first just cause. so they then have to get a lawyer to appeal, which takes months+. It's hard to get disability, and it gives you scraps.

  • I don't think anyone thinks 4:3 was that bad, it's just being used as a precursor/setup for "stop recording in vertical!!"

  • Haven't been able to sleep much, how is everyone doing?

    I just wanted to open a chat thread, it's been a bit. I've been having a terrible time sleeping, but wanted to see how it's going with you guys! I'm sorry I've put off fixing the theme for the updates, but I was kinda waiting until things were more stable, which it seems they are.

    My character that represents me is a young anime tomboyish kinda girl.

    Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm
  • Hashtags exist for that purpose. You can follow them to be put into your home feed. As well, if you use the advanced web interface (like tweet deck), you can create a column with modifiers. Such as, I have a column that searches for both #pixelart and #lowpoly, but excludes posts with #NSFW or #Lewd, as well as #Pokemon (because I have a separate column for pokemon pixel artwork & lowpoly specifically)

    I have heard misskey and calckey have a sort of trending feed, but not quite algorithmic, but unsure completely.

    You need to set your language on your post to reply to people from kbin

    zetaphor just pointed this out to me, I thought maybe we had federation problems with it. No, you just need to set a language, at least for this version of lemmy.

    Discussion: Do you think recent Twitter mess up will cause new wave of #TwitterMigration?
  • At least small artists have been really signing up since last night/this morning on mastodon.art. It is already causing a wave. Calckey is trying to grab more people, but half the shit doesn't load for me right now so they can't take the brunt of it.

  • misnina Nina @crystals.rest

    If you don't use matrix, please ping me on discord (@misnina) or mastodon for quick mod problems. No phone notifs for lemmy avail. yet.
