I used to watch A LOT of youtube. Since I started educating myself about google and corpo stuff I lost most interest I had. Now I only watch gameranx and gamers nexus from time to time.
I started watching (and hosting peertube) some time ago and slowly add new channels to my list. Its getting better. Linux and tech stuff kind of works on there imo. Everything else needs more love.
Weβre at a particularly rough time imo since peeps are trying to switch but many hurdles work against them. Federated social media in general is still WIP, funding is a huge issue, accessibility is an issue and a healthy testing workflow (asking users for consent of automated bug reports, making them actually useful, shielding devs from too much user critique, etc.)
As someone with both accessibility needs and experience in customer relations I often see wasted potential because too few peeps with a samdwich skillset (between user and dev) are actually in the foss scene, particularly in small projects.
I really hope foss will endure these growing-pains.
Do you have any recommandation that is not linux or tech related. I struggle to find content there but I'm sure I missed many things.
Iβm not really the right person for such recommendations as my interests are quite narrow. Gaming, PCs, Linux, Programming, etc.
If you can muster some patience play around with the search form on https://sepiasearch.org you should be able to find some cool stuff.
But remember, this is the same as early youtube. There were rarely any huge productions and everything was kinda indy. One needs to keep that in mind imo.
Thanks. That will be helpfull.
