The digital Pied Piper of Berlin
The digital Pied Piper of Berlin
Free TV was mostly politics, news and religious stuff (maybe I remember it that way because my Dad mostly used the TV). About the only time I was really invested in television was when the 2006 World Cup aired.
The Netherlands. And by popular, I mean in my locality. Growing up, going to the theater was a luxury experience. I had a friend who was better off and he and I shared CD’s of movies and video games and so on.
Cable wasn’t exactly popular where I was growing up. I mostly watched movies in theaters or through DVD’s.
I remember a time when all the Disney content used to be on Netflix. That was the first time I actually invested in a streaming service. But, then they decided to make Disney+ and I went, “Well it’s time. Argh Matey!”
Oh, you mean to tell me that paying for a gazillion streaming services individually is somehow more expensive than bundling them all together with cable? Who could have seen that coming?
North, East, West, South?
Blender took me a lot of time to master. It’s not exactly bad. The only thing is stuff is hard to find. And if you don’t use it frequently, you’ll eventually forget how to use it.
During COVID, I decided to give Blender a shot. It did work out, and I started creating some cool stuff. Then a few months passed, and when I reopened it, I was like, uh…
One of my many gripes with Inkscape is the steep learning curve. If this new application fixes it, I’d see myself using it as long as I don’t have to rent the software.
Till then, Inkscape all the way.
Meanwhile Apple: Introducing the revolutionary new iSpoon, complete with a 4K OLDED touch screen and a built-in Siri that tells you how to chow your cereal properly. Starting at the low price of $1600 $1099.99.
But of course, don’t forget to buy the iBowl, iPlate, and iNapkin as well, because who needs an ordinary cutlery set when you can have everything in true Apple fashion.
(Disclaimer ⚠️: The iSpoon can only be used with the iBowl.)
Invidious doesn’t use YouTube’s API. It merely requests content from YouTube either directly or through a proxy. So, I don’t think it’ll disappear forever unless the developers stop working on it. It’s probably gonna be a game of cat and mouse where YouTube figures out how to break Invidious, and the devs keep finding a workaround.
She’s adorable. What breed is she?
Honestly, I can’t even say I’m disappointed. I’ve lost all hope in Facebook.
