  • Nope. I don’t like the format.

    A 30 seconds video is like repeating the same mistakes that turned Twitter (yes, even before Elon Musk) to what it is today: a place that there’s no shade of gray, no nuance and everything is outrageous. A Short has no time to elaborate on anything and can simplify the subject so much that it becomes just misinformation.

    Also I don’t believe it’s worth for creators in the long run. I’m not a creator myself but I believe that the time-effort to create a video is not linear with its duration. They can make a short so elaborated and viral that it would be more worth to create a full video in regards of sponsorship, ad revenue and subscription retention.






  • Sharing video is such a big problem that even Google couldn’t solve it when it was their time. They just bought their biggest competitor when their own platform didn’t get traction. And then operated at a loss for years and years.

    I’d love to see descentralized video platforms as the next guy but there are serious barriers that come with the medium

    +1 for the Epson Ecotank.

    The ink bottles are cheaper than cartridges and it’s basically “dumb”. There’s no DRM that prevents you from squirting any generic type of ink in there.

    I did not test it on older hardware but mine is WiFi enabled and it works seamlessly on every device.

    It’s not a perfect solution but it’s a good middle ground for me.



  • Facebook (the page) is dead in the sense that its parent company changed their name to not be the same as their (once powerhouse) product. Facebook trademark is so unbelievably cursed due to what it became that they’re pretending that it does not exist.

    Meta is focusing on Instagram for now. They could’ve launched Threads within Facebook (I think it was at some point) but they choose not to. Instagram is how they reach out to the people.

    This means that Facebook was enshittified successfully. It does not serve any purpose now.

    I don’t think Reddit has the same choice as they don’t really have means to pivot to something else. It will just cease to be… Or not.
