#LouisRossman is great.
#Futo is great.
#Grajay is great.
Futos #Peertube instance peertube.futo.org is great.

Too bad his latest video is only accessible with a Google account ("age restriction") – or an UNOFFICIAL mirror I just found 🥵

Why not go full in and host your own stuff on #Peertube when you run a server and promote a client!?!??🤷‍♂️

Was it like this for the very few people who knew at the time that System Enhancement Associates was 2 blokes in their homes, when Phil Katz was mobilizing people against them for being a big bad evil corporate giant wanting to suppress him, back in the 1980s?

I know what it was like to be one of the mobilized people, and only learn the truth decades later.

Continued thread

I wonder what will happen when the people wrongly thinking that they are having a right to repair fight (against a manufacturer who *sent xyr product off for third-party repair*, even though xe said that it wasn't repairable) realize that they are actually in a fight where powerful U.S. YouTubers, with huge funds and millions of on-line followers to mobilize, are denying a 1 man business in Glamorganshire the U.K. legal rights that xe has over xyr own designs.

Following up on the #MendItMark hoo-hah:

Louis Rossman promised last week that xyr "next video" would be a re-upload of MendItMark's video. It wasn't. M. Rossman uploaded several videos after that, and only now, the next week, has got around to the re-upload.

At least one of the other re-uploaders in the initial flurry to re-upload has since deleted xyr re-upload.

Apparently, no YouTuber has had a "What‽ There's a design right in the U.K.‽" moment, yet.

It always pains me that my favourite Android keyboard was #Microsoft #Swiftkey. I'd had it since before Microsoft acquired it.

I have just tried out #futokeyboard, it's open source. It's part of Futo that does a bunch of supposedly consumer focused apps like #grayjay and #immich. I believe #louisrossman is backing futo in some way?

Anyway the keyboard is really pretty good for what they are calling an alpha, has an optional on device voice typing model too, that I am yet to check out.

Check out Louis Rossman's YouTube videos on shonky New York landlords and estate agents. I don't feel even slightly bad for them for a commercial property crash.

One good thing to come from the covid pandemic - working from home was proven to work and all the ridiculous waste of time, money, fuel & energy associated with commuting to an office can just go down the toilet. Good riddance.

This allows you to follow #creators directly from multiple platforms through "sources" such as #youtube #soundcloud #peertube etc and also support them through their preferred funding type. Removing the middleman and giving them back control on their "brand/identity" without being locked in.

If you're even vaguely familiar with #RightToRepair , care about #ClimateChange #Sustainability and #PlannedObsolescence this is amazing news!

Credit where it's due ... thanks to #LouisRossman and many more for 10 years of work to finally have a major victory over #JohnDeere which was lobbying hard to stop farmers from having the right to fix their own property.

After ten years, John Deere FINALLY lost
