No, there is no safe YouTube alternative at the moment. You can't find anything right now that matches a 20 year old video publishing website in popularity.

The only way to do something is by hitting their wallets. Flood their inboxes. Don't use YouTube as much as you can. Find alternatives to Google and be an annoying little shit.

Pirate a movie to watch while eating lunch and you won't miss it as much.

Mmmm something about how #age verification was the top tag like an hour ago, but now it's not showing up anywhere unless I directly search for it-

Tumblr are a bunch of corporate shill cowards

DO NOT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO TUMBLR OR ANY OTHER SITE, ESPECIALLY NOT YOUR GOVERNMENT ID

After the internal error of Ellipsus in the morning, I want to share some tips for storing your documents:

Always have a backup: Every time you end a chapter, make several changes or just need a backup download it as .md file. PDF is uneditable, but markdown can be used to restore docs if lost (and can be used in programs like Obsidian)

Use physical storage: USB, DVD, print and use a simple bind, whatever it works with you. Your PC can shut down and you lose your files, and if there comes the end of civilization you have the printed version. Just keep it away from other catastrophic events.

Do NOT have everything in a single place: I use several hard drives and apps to store my data. I print and bind things I'm proud of. I make time clauses on my USB. I copy important data on Fortelling. I put my .ebup files on my e-reader.

If you think I'm being paranoid, ask yourself: Can I be the next one with a bit of bad luck?

So, just in case, backup everything you can.

Even emailing your files to a friend can store them better than nothing!!!

I don’t consume those types of “how to look high class”/“what rich people do” content because they’re often ridiculous. But the one exception I have is how rich people use the internet/social media. They know something we don’t.

And when I say rich I’m not talking about influencers and celebrities. Anybody that makes their living being seen on a screen doesn’t count. I’m talking about old money and billionaires. They know something about data and privacy. There is something prudent about making yourself invisible and unreachable to strangers in a world that overshares. For working class people, I think being more private online is a form of protection in an increasingly powerful surveillance culture.

Hey everyone,

Today is the last day to possibly opt out of Meta (Facebook/Instagram)'s AI program and there is a way to opt out if you are trying to protect your data privacy.

Please do what you can to save your art and data before it's too late. Edit/Update: It may not be applicable to the US because people living in Europe have the direct ability to opt out-- but US citizens can still submit the form for consideration.

You only have until June 26, 2024 to say no to Meta taking your personal photos and words and using them to train their generative AI. Here
