Born in Ukraine, living in Israel. A Jewish ( by blood ) freedom activist and film-maker. Hater of unnecessary freedom-tempering restrictive laws: such as copyright laws, age restriction laws and censorship laws. Lover of hacks of those laws: such as copyLEFT licenses and smart things people do to circumvent censorship. A user of Free / Libre Software exclusively ( apart from the BIOS on my computer, because I have no idea how to install libre-boot. Or if it's even supported ).

Decree 147 by the Vietnamese government took effect on December 25, 2024, regulating Internet services and online information. To me, the most notable restrictions are related to games and social media.

After one year, and as a Vietnamese, I can confirm that the decree hasn't had a significant impact so far (Hanoi is still working), but it still raises concern about Internet freedom as well as privacy problems.

Steven Spielberg, who took a lot of influence from the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia by David Lean, said this is a kind of movie that would not be done these days. And he is not talking about the epic production, about the elaborate sets, and very complex sequences, that today in the age of CGI would totally be faked to one degree or another. What he is talking about is...

What Lawrence of Arabia 1962 by David Lean is about?

Steven Spielberg, who took a lot of influence from the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia by David Lean, said this is a kind of movie that would not be done these days. And he is not talking about the epic production, about the elaborate sets, and very complex sequences, that today in the age of CGI would totally be faked to one degree or another. What he is talking about is more political. Thomas Edward Lawrence was not necessarily a good guy. He murdered a lot of people, some in cold blood. As he himself states in the movie: he quite enjoyed it. And yet the film is an epic tale romanticizing this man as a sort of broken mythical hero. Which begs the question: why?

I'm the stupidest man alive. Back in 2021 or so I wrote an article on Odysee where I basically outlined my plan to do Dani's Race, my libre open world game. Yet while the idea is descent and the game turned out to be quite fun, I completely disregarded any considerations when it comes to the market. I didn't think about who might want to play it.

Wow, what an acid trip. The film ( if you can call it that ) Hundreds of Beavers by Mike Cheslik starring Ryland Tews and Olivia Graves is one of the coolest drug-less high moments of comedy cinema. It feels just coherent enough to be called a movie, and just crazy enough to be considered a 2 hour long low budget YouTube sketch.

Making an Artwork for a BMX Escape song ( Fan Art ) Timelapse

PeerTube

Just drew this. Technically it is just a fan art of @bmxescape but I was inspired to do so because they admitted on #firesidefedi that they used generative #AI to make the #art for this particular song, due to how expensive real artists have got. So I wanted to replace the genai stuff with something made by a human. But it seems like my style isn't good enough. Looks more like a fan art.
