Old Photo Shows Hospital Patients Sunbathing on Deck
Documents say the picture shows a βgroup of poliomyelitis and arthritic patients.β
See:
You make a video about cleaning up the waste, and that's something important and is done by good people, but then you post on Youtube and they show you first an ad about fast fashion.
Tell me this is not the most ironic thing. Same as selling hard-copy books about deforestation on Amazon.
And this is not to blame anyone, but please if you have other options use those too, like Peertube or making your books digital.
If you are making content about restoring nature we invite you to our Peertube instance videos.trom.tf - no ads or any bullshit like that.
Let's be reasonable people and at least try. Youtube is an ad-company and if we want to cut down from this insane consumerism we should try to avoid Youtube or at least use adblockers.

This Glow-in-the-Dark Bike Path Is Real, But That Viral Image Isn't What You Think
Social media users said the unique cycle path is solar-powered and located in Poland.
@Dima this is how your videos look on Youtube for most people:
Before they watch a video about volunteering, restoring nature, cutting down the waste and so forth, they will watch very attractive ads for buying shit, Big Macs, harmful and wasteful products. I find that beyond outrageous.
So I think we should try to push your Peertube channel more. Maybe you can tell me what format are you saving your videos in so I can look what may be the issue with uploading them to Peertube. We have uploaded thousands of videos to Peertube and everything works great.
We should change these habits too of posting on these ad-network. I get it about the reach, but in parallel we should give these alternatives platforms a try too.

in reply to fionag11 • • •Oh, so close and so very far. I had hoped for some inspiration in that regard. They got me in 2005, in a moment of being soft in the head, with "don't be evil", and so, I'm long time already in that same boat. This is not degoogled. This is a hostage situation.
In a hostage situation, you dont wait for your best chance of escape. You take your first chance to escape. And it will be a hassle.
... I say hoping to inspire myself to thoroughly get out of gmail.
As someone boycotting Amazon since 2004, it just seems so weird, so wrong, to have this one piece of GAFAM poking a big gaping wide open hole in my opsec.
proton's my second email, but it's slow and painful, and couldnt use it for main email churn.
what we need is a single button click email migration, to something good. n_n

in reply to fionag11 • • •@fionag11 Hello, I suggest relying on Thunderbird to help with the gmail escape transition: Thunderbird allows to manage multiple email addresses, and thus
Example: my friend writes me on Gmail. I read it on TB. I click "reply", then in the "from" field I change my gmail address to my new one, with a simple button. I click send: my email is sent with my new email, my friend starts exchanging with my new email.
It's difficult to delete one's email address. It is easy to use both for a short or long transition.
ProtonMail can't work in that setting (it's too crypted, doesn't work with TB AFAIK).
Good to know: Thunderbird should provide email accounts in the near future.

On this phone there is a standard app for maps installed called Magic Earth, giving it a try now, with mostly positive results.
