Spent a long time yesterday making this 19 second video for YouTube. Who knew that making such a short video took so long? I have a new appreciation for people who make videos for YouTube or anywhere. 😅
The video is about books and reading.
🚨 Meta announced today that it will introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This move further consolidates Meta's social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this.

Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:
Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.
Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!
I know I only spent a couple of days making videos for YouTube but I think I'm already giving up on my YouTube channel lol. It takes so much time, energy, and technology to make videos and then nobody even watches them. 😆 Blogging is easier and takes less resources.
Me: Wow! This is the best video I've made so far!
YouTube: Nope! It really isn't lol.
I figured the video that I put the most effort into would do the worst 😆 that's how it always works 😂
Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare
CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from DDOS attack yesterday
The max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood."
The Internet Archive does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack.
Thank you #cloudflare or we would have had a very bad Saturday at the @internetarchive
DDOS attacks are coming more frequently.
Me: I wonder why I have a headache? 🤔
Me: *remembers I've spent most of the day researching video editing and making videos*
Me: oh yeah...
😆
