That's water they're flying over. Not buttcheeks.

In the case of PeerTube, not worrying about Google age-gating or straight-up yanking your content if you tick them off is a good start, basically, you'd actually own your content posting on PeerTube instead of YT.

If I'm remembering this right it was maybe two, I didn't count.

YouTube, and one technically exists in the form of PeerTube, with PlasmaTube being a good client for PeerTube.

Not Just Bikes.

NJB's praise of their infrastructure would have me sold on them if I could actually flee the US.

Canon FD 70-210mm f4 adapted to an Olympus E-M5 at the time, and I also added a Kodachrome 200 film sim haldCLUT to it in RawTherapee.

Assuming such a ring exists, I could probably attach an M42-FD adapter ring to my current lens adapter (which is now being used with a Panasonic GF2 as the camera that snapped this pic has since died of a stuck shutter) and use M42 glass without having to get a new adapter, which the adapter used in this shot is a Fotasy FD-M4/3.

Hi, and thanks!

60sec long-exposure.

Puppy would fly on there, or even DSL 2024. Heck, both those distros would fly even on a Pentium 4 of all things.

Thanks!

PeerTube seems fine for a YT alternative (only because it's pretty much either it or Odysee, that's what happens when you have an effective monopoly on user-generated content like YT does, and PeerTube IMO needs to take off sooner rather than later given how ridiculous YT's censorship has gotten lately), and then of course Lemmy (this platform) is looking really good so far as a Reddit alternative and I've only been on it for a day now, ditto for Pixelfed as an Instagram alternative.

And then of course there's Mastodon for a Twitter/Facebook alternative.

Also, Matrix seems fine for a Discord alternative, but moderation is all over the map.

Assuming it's not completely useless for this purpose, you could load FreeDOS on it and use it for playing older PC games.

MS-DOS 6.22 would be sub-optimal as it was designed with 486-era and older hardware in mind and since it doesn't support FAT32 and only supports FAT16, you're limited to 2GB partitions, while FreeDOS is actually designed with newer hardware like this in mind and supports FAT32 and thus larger drives.

Free speech and expression is one of the many previously-thought-to-be-inalienable rights that are in the current administration's crosshairs. If I could flee this country for, say, the Netherlands, I'd do so in a heartbeat, unfortunately I can't.

Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who's ever used a browser that isn't IE, everyone who's ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who's ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web's dark ages, as in going back to when BBSes were popular.

Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban? (this part was originally a reply but I moved it to the main post)

My current GPU has no RGB (PowerColor Fighter RX 6600), and I'm just using basic G.Skill Aegis RAM atm. Mainboard's a PRIME B350-Plus which was updated to BIOS 6042 so it can take 4000-series and 5000-series CPUs.

Hi!

Hopefully this trade war doesn't devolve into an actual war....

I'd buy the new PC so that your own PC can actually be your own still and your work stuff can be relegated to that new PC.

There's plenty of really good reason to not mix work and pleasure on your main PC, your employer or school effectively taking ownership of your main, personal system being one big one.

Optionally, I'd also just start looking for new work if you work for a BYOD place.
