   Good

   To be honest, YouTube is not only a platform where you can watch /download the video ,but a wonderful field where you can share and grow personally and help oher people to flourish through sharing your vision , art ,creativity ,etc.

   I like the idea of YouTube serving as a search engine and an entertaining feat

   Deleted my account for "advertising"

   Former blogger for Second Life virtual world. ~ Had my account revoked after I was told my blogging was "advertising", even though 100's of other users do the exact same thing. Years of work down the tubes. Will never use it again. ~ Note: They are doing this to push for "PRO" memberships, because the company is hurting for money.

   🏁 Competitors: Instagram, Facebook

   👍 Pros:    Free to start, until you gain too much popularity.|Good for casual use.

   👎 Cons:    Spam|Abundance of advertising|Photostream hijacking by ads|Horrible customer service.

• Vice website is shutting down

  Looking at their YouTube, their recent videos don't have exactly low view count, but also not as high as I would expect, given how costly they must be https://youtube.com/@VICE I guess they were really a product of a different time. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Africa is building a Great Green Wall to prevent expansion of the Sahara

  3 words. "Geoff Lawton videos." You know, that Strine permaculture guy. Watch at least 15 to 20 of them. Many are short. Only then talk, people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Lawton https://youtube.com/@DiscoverPermaculture?si=XVjdWpJk5ZIVTnLP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strine. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: Who are your most treasured live coders?

  Big George Hotz enjoyer but lately I’ve been trying to catch every stream from this guy “tokyospliff” - https://youtube.com/@tokyospliff He does graphics programming, writing his own game engine from in C++ using OpenGL. The vibe in his streams is really something else, very interesting guy. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Ask HN: Who are your most treasured live coders?

  Dave Plummer but I’m way beyond the median age for HN. Would appreciate similar recommendations. People like Theo-t3.gg are way too manic and high energy for me. https://youtube.com/@DavesGarage?feature=shared. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Instagram alternatives for promoting business, now that EU laws messed it up?

  Is flickr.com still alive? It used to be so cool back in the day, but I dropped off from photography in general over like the past decade, so have no clue how things are going over there. Source: 4 months ago

• 20mm or 35mm prime lens

  20mm will look wider on your Z6II than your D40x but it should look the same as it does on any other FX body like the D780 or the D850. Go on flickr.com and search for photos taken with 20mm lenses. You can type 20mm in the search bar. Make sure you look at photos taken with full a full frame camera. If those match the look you are going for, go ahead and grab the 20mm. Source: 9 months ago

• Some kid said you only these maintenance trains every 20 years?

• Question to Experienced ancestry user:

  When you scan your images, you can reduce the quality. You might consider getting a subscription to an on-line photo system, like flickr.com, where you can upload original images of high quality. You could have lower-quality ones on ancestry, or just use an outside link to the photo record you have. Source: 10 months ago
