Software launches, updates, new directory apps, a spotlight on Alex Kretzschmar @ironicbadger - a content creator and frequent contributor to the self-hosted community, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
Funny how 7 years ago Héctor invited me to record cooking videos for his channel, 7 years later here we are celebrating a cool friendship and that every time our cooking skills are getting better, that or hunger betrays us 🤣
YouTube adds new AI-generated content labeling tool
creators are required to disclose “altered or synthetic” content that seems realistic. That includes things like making a real person say or do something they didn’t; altering footage of real events and places; or showing a “realistic-looking scene” that didn’t actually happen
We've only seen a handful of phones handle audio well. We don't need a lot to fix this situation on premium camera focused devices, but companies need to take these features as seriously as they do camera sensors.
People accusing everyone who disagrees with them on TikT*k of being a fed. In fact, the actual feds aren't watching. 🤣😭 They monitor for threats, but don't care if you're beefing over crochet, paint types, plants, art, or other niche interests. They do love your mess though.
*please note that this is a joke, not ALL my Patreon donors and/or the people who purchase my nonsexual nude artistic photography prints sexually harass me, just that most of them certainly seem to be 😏
Ideally I'd like a #lavalier / lapel mic with a line-in and a lightweight #voiceRecorder with expandable SD memory, or a decent wireless lapel mic that can connect to a usb-c android phone (or voice recorder). I have a Zoom already with four xlr ports, but it's really heavy and I don't generally need something THAT heavy duty for walking-around-outside vlogs. If there's a wireless mic that's good quality then awesome, but barring that at least a line-in mic that I can stick on my shirt collar (assuming I'm not filming something topless lmao) and have it pick up decent audio outside, or even during a convention. I'm hoping to keep everything under $200 (mic plus voice recorder) or under $100 for the mic, but I can go a little higher if it's really good quality.
I've tried a variety of <$30 lavalier mics already and they all kinda suck. I'm hoping if I can find recommendations from a real live human who's actually used it, not bought-out reviews from the manufacturers themselves, I'll have better results. Would be nice to have the new mic+recorder sooner than later, but by Vidcon in June at the absolute latest. Thanks in advance!
Six bucks for 900,000 views? TikTok and Instagram are making large sums of money but aren't sharing it with their creators. Is now the time for a workers’ movement? Tech Crunch has more: https://flip.it/YzTKaP #Tech#SocialMedia#ContentCreator #
I'm putting together a list of #videoEssay ists and other "small" (under 1 mil subs) #contentCreator s to recommend in an upcoming "2024 new years resolutions" video, so if you have any recommendations--someone you watch or your own videos, let me know. :) (though my list is already kinda long so I'm gonna have to pare it down to those who I think are in the biggest need of a shout-out even from a small channel like mine, lol)
In Mexico, it is very popular to break piñata 🪅 in the Christmas parties (posadas) and although it has a religious meaning, the truth is that nowadays we do it to have fun and take away stress 🤣
#HappyBirthday#Doom! I still can't believe it's been #30Years and you're still making an impression... To celebrate, today we're going to take a look at Romero's #SIGIL and #SIGIL2 episodes, before diving into a megawad I've been wanting to try for a while and just never gave it a chance. Come stop by and celebrate one of gaming's most influential titles' birthday with us on today's #Sunday#Stream#Shenanigans for #Doomcember!
#HappyAnniversary#Doom! That's right, Doom turns 30 this month and to celebrate we're #Streaming all Doom, all #Doomcember! Come stop by while we #RipAndTear through all of the official megawads with some extras to make it interesting!
This is a family favorite. It's the @tacobell Chalupa Cravings Box. The box consists a delicious Chalupa, a large, filling 5 layer beefy burrito, a Taco (we always substitute soft tacos for regular), crisp cinnamon twists, and a medium fountain drink. It's a lot of food at a reasonable price.
