If it is, then the entire black/dark comedy genre is full of troubled people.
Yeah it is, and it's their fault that it is.
Google has no right to say the open web is in decline, when they're the main cause of it, this is basically them saying, 'Yeah, we won this stupid war that we started, screw you, peons,' this comes off like if MS broke WINE and then admitted no one uses desktop Linux anymore, it will have been their faults that hypothetical scenario happened, this is what Google saying the open web is in decline when it's largely their fault that it is comes off as to me.
Good thing I downloaded it then because it's probably going to be blocked in the US next.
Time for them to at minimum mirror their channel to Odysee and/or PeerTube so that they'll still have a platform just in case their channel gets nuked.
Even if you don't plan on ditching YT outright, it's still a good idea to mirror to Odysee, PeerTube, or both, as a backup because of shit like this.
'When you sigh and flip open your laptop to maybe do some work, you find that your software products refuse to even launch, as they absolutely needed to refresh their license key verification this instant. Feeling mildly upset by their accusations of you having pirated their over-priced software after forking over so much cash each month, you slam the laptop shut again. This is when you realize that your project files are stored safely on the now unreachable cloud storage account anyway.'
No, but for example, Office can be replaced by LibreOffice (and the EU is trying to do just that), Adobe CS can be replaced by GIMP or Krita, Inkscape, RawTherapee or Darktable, and Kdenlive for PS, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Premiere/AfterEffects respectively, Maya or 3DSMax can be replaced by Blender, and even Windows itself can be replaced by some Linux distro or alternatively BSD; PC as a platform isn't locked to Windows, and you're not locked into proprietary software generally, work contracts or more esoteric stuff which doesn't have a viable free/open alternative notwithstanding.
Also, you can still technically buy new cameras and camcorders, although new camcorders have for the most part shifted to the pro video market nowadays, plus there's always the used market, and you can still build a custom PC although that market has been getting squeezed out by rampant overpricing and the effective evaporation of entry-level parts, plus you can still buy physical music/movies and the gear to play them on.
And film of all things has been seeing a resurgence as a creation medium lately.
Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.
It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.
Anyone who has projects on Github they care about, you might wanna move it to self-hosting or another git host while you still can, because once MS gets tired of killing e-mails, Github repos are probably going to start getting sniped next.
If it's upheld, that's the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone 'accused' of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.
This also sounds like SOPA reborn.

Pikachu and Buneary are going on an art date at a splatter painting place. They splattered each other a little bit in addition to the giant canvas hanging on the wall.

'...Bring puddle-stomping joy.'
The bunnies started showing up during the day again, and I snapped a random pic of one.

'So I've had this idea for a while, but I wanted to depict Togekiss extending one of her wings out for other Pokemon, in this case, Pichu, Togepi, and Igglybuff, to climb onto her so she could take them on a little trip to a park.'

'I also gave her a little crown.'

One more reason to use Lemmy.
Good thing LibreWolf and other forks exist.
No it's not, it's based on BSD, or more specifically Darwin, which is derived from BSD, so Unix-like, but not Linux.
Although, oddly, macOS is a certified UNIX OS so it can rightfully sit at the table with the SysV distros such as AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris, but it's nothing like those OSes in its nature.
Google's probably not going to care and is probably going to find some way to disadvantage this so they can keep their monopoly.
I mean, this is the company that's wide open about how weasely and underhanded they are to the web at large.
