Per accedere a da browser è consigliatissimo usare un'istanza il cui frontend è altamente personalizzabile e permette di fare molte più cose rispetto al frontend di YouTube stesso.

Tuttavia quando si linkano filmati trovo sia più sensato usare i link originali di Youtube. Questo perchè l'Istanza Invidious linkata potrebbe rompersi e perchè magari chi guarda preferirebbe farlo da un'Istanza Invidious diversa o attraverso frontend alternativi pure ad Invidious.

Per questo motivo penso sia più sensato postare i link che puntano a Youtube e lasciare che ohni utente si adoperi perchè quel link sia aperto in altro modo. Su Firefox per esempio ci sono diversi plugin che deviano i link di YouTube all'Istanza Invidious preferita

The modes of organizing that are most resistant to State infiltration and disruption are exactly the kinds of modes of organizing that are also resistant to power grabs and abuse from within.
Actual decentralization is incredibly hard to infiltrate fully. It’s hard to take down the whole network in one series of raids.
It’s also the kind of network without leaders or idols. Without people who gatekeep knowledge or (soft) power.
If we want to fix the future problem of how we would resist increasingly authoritarian regimes, we can start today by finding ways to work where everyone is connected to everyone and there are no choke points or single points of failure.

But yeah. I'm happy to say you shouldn't pirate just to save money, but at the same time it would be dishonest for me to be anti-piracy. I'm an archivist, damn it. And there is so much media that would have just been LOST had it not been pirated.

america - land of the free

yeah, it was free until some dipshits turned up and thought it was a good idea to colonize the fuck out of it

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

@smp colgo l'occasione per complimentarmi per la scelta dell'avatar. le sequenze con Wakko che ruttava brani celebri di musica classica erano dei tocchi di classe indimenticabili

Se ora faccio fumetti (vabè sì) è per via della rivista Fumetti Disegnati Male.

Oggi purtroppo ci ha lasciati Tuono Pettinato, che disegnò la copertina per il n.1 e una mucchia di fumetti successivamente.

Salve a tutti, non scrivo più molto qui sopra perchè ultimamente sono tutto preso da un nuovo hobby: creare indie games di dubbia qualità.
Se trovate l'argomento interessante, ecco il blog (in inglese) dove posto i miei pensieri su tutto ciò: telescope.ac/embestudios

In questo periodo sto studiando la protesta globale che si viene a creare in risposta all'invasione italiana dell'Etiopia. In moltissime città in tutto il mondo le persone manifestano, raccolgono fondi, fondano gruppi e reti per evitare che uno dei pochi stati africani ancora indipendenti cessi di esserlo. È una storia bellissima che intreccia antifascismo, anticolonialismo, panafricanismo.

The Khoikhoi and San are two different people, they are both called Khoisan because of their distinct click sound language. As opposed to San, Khoikhoi were both hunter-gatherers and pastoralists, the first pastoralists in Southern Africa. The San were hunter-gatherers.

San people are the oldest ethnic group in the world. Their territories span Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and South Africa

The Khoikhoi were the first native people to come into contact with Dutch in the mid 17th century. As Dutch were settling for farming, the Khoikhoi were dispossessed of lands. Conflicts emerged against Dutch and some were exterminated, or enslaved and decreased in numbers.

The Dutch usually called the Khoikhoi ‘Hottentots’ because of the sound of their language. Today this name is considered a derogatory term. The San were referred by Dutch as ‘Bushmen’, this term today also is considered a derogatory.

The Khoikhoi kept herds of animals such as goats, cattle and sheep, like Fulani and Maasai, they were moving from one place to another looking for pastures. This means they erected semi permanent structures, which were made of thin poles covered with reed mats. Pots were made of wood with small handles to make them easier to tie on animal’s back. The clothes were made of skin animlas like San people.

Among the Khoikhoi the cattle were sign of wealth and they only ate a cattle that had died or had been stolen from their enemies. The animals were slaughtered only during important occasions like funerals or weddings. The women milked the cows and gathered wild plants from the veld and men killed game for everyday food. This clearly shows Khoikhoi as well as San hunted and gathered food, but also kept domestic livestocks.

Among the San, there were no class divisions, everybody was considered equal and they shared everything. In contrary, Khoikhoi society consisted of both rich and poor, as animals were signs of wealth which belonged to one individual. Wealthier Khoikhoi would willingly share things like milk to poorer members of their group.

Khoisan language is characterized by implosive consonants or ‘click’, which belong to different language family from Bantu.

Today the laws in Botswana doesn’t allow hunting anymore, and the small scattered groups in South Western districts are being incorporated with other ethnic groups.

From the movie, ‘The God Must be Crazy’

Did you know? Nǃxau ǂToma, the Lead Actor of the movies, “The Gods Must Be Crazy” 1 & 2 based on the lives of the San people of Southern Africa was paid only $300 even though the movies grossed $60 million, he never saw the important of money though. He died at the age of 58 in 2003. He is Namibia’s most famous Actor.

Qualcuno da ste parti ha mai usato Unity per creare videogiochi - in particolare sparatutto in prima o terza persona?

Them: what are you thinking about?
Me: nothing.
Me, internally: come mai trovo l'Asiago al supermercato in Canada, che è dall'altra parte dell'oceano, ma non in Inghilterra che è a due passi da casa?

Vorrei creare un videogioco sparatutto in prima (o terza) persona ambientato in Europa e America Latina nel 19mo secolo, una cosa single player con una storia lineare, possibilmente con momenti cinematici che sono parte del gioco (le cutscenes le farei a parte come video separati).
Che programma mi consigliate? Ho visto che FPS Creator Classic è open source, ma è solo per Windows. Esiste qualcosa di simile ma multipiattaforma, che so, Unity è facile da usare?
