Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I notify followers/subscribers to a PeerTube channel?
21·4 days agoI post videos that are already created elsewhere, so I haven’t created one except for ones I’ve taken with a phone camera.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I notify followers/subscribers to a PeerTube channel?
3·4 days agoThanks, sounds like a good idea. I created a single PNG with the announcement and then tried to convert that to a webm using 3 various suggestions I found online, all involving ffmpeg. All failed. Any suggestions?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Tech question about Peertube - transcoding options for a channel
1·19 days agoThanks for responding. Could you send a screenshot of how and where you get to that? I have explored quite a bit and haven’t found that. Thanks.

World News@lemmy.ml•Microsoft revokes cloud services from Israel’s Unit 8200, following +972 exposé
1·2 months agoI’ve been reading a lot of articles from 972, and I don’t see evidence of that. Do they explicitly call for the destruction of the Zionist state? No, but that doesn’t make 972 a liberal Zionist rag. (In fact, their latest issue explicitly takes on liberal Israelis on the Gaza genocide.)
If you have some examples where they took bad positions on something concrete, please send them to me. I could be wrong.

Technology@lemmy.ml•The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame
1·3 months agoI don’t understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don’t think the analogy to videogames is correct here.

World News@lemmy.ml•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish
11·9 months agoI should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.

13·9 months agoMassive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can’t imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.

World News@lemmy.ml•Time is running out for Kamala Harris to break with Biden on the Gaza catastropheEnglish
2·1 year agoYou should look at my post history a little harder. I have posted a lot on Palestine, and very few have centered on Harris. I consider the election choices very painful for anyone who wants to keep Trump out while not supporting an administration which is clearly collaborating in a genocide with Israel. Most likely I will hold my nose and vote for Harris, but I’m not sure yet. If I don’t, I would be voting for Jill Stein.

31·1 year agoI don’t get the point of what you are saying here. Cohen doesn’t get “it”? Democracy? What’s wrong with what she did and what she said?
















Today I will create a crude little video using my phone with the announcement along with a screenshot. That should do it. Thanks for the ideas. :-)
