Yeah, I’m on kbin.social and for some reason we don’t accept !community, only @community here. I just always link 'cause it’s so hard to find stuff lmao.

One day we’ll have truly seamless (non-janky) content conversion.

Here’s that write-up for future readers!

I was about to reply to that write up here but I’ll reply in the correct comment section lol.

There’s an About section, saying the instance has just under 1,000 videos, and is using about 250 gigs right now. (If you include federated videos, then it’s 63,000 videos though lol.)

I agree with you here, it sure looks like being a new video platform is a very difficult game to play. And asking for people to donate to MakerTube specifically rather than any of the myriad of other peertube platforms seems like a very uphill battle too lol.

I do think that it would be good for all of us to get used to contributing to the operations costs of platforms where the users aren’t the product. But yeah, there’s definitely going to be growing pains lol.

Oooh, I’m excited to try this out! But later, 'cause I’m just on mobile, and kbin doesn’t have a save function yet lol.

Ohh, like they’re kind of a foam material? That makes sense.

Somehow I was imagining you’d found round sponges hahah. Show us more of your stuff! : )

Okay, yeah that all seems correct to me lol. It sure does make us sound crazy though!

I’m pretty happy to have non-zero competency in all the systems lol. I’m a regular hobby crafter, and honestly some projects just work better in metric, some are better in imperial.

Wow, I’m pretty impressed with BC for this.

Having font support really legitimizes a language. It’s basically impossible to make digital content if you can’t type in your language, so this is really unlocking a lot for the readers and writers of all those languages!

Oooh! What are they made from??

I love your question! I think these words are examples of a trochee!

In English poetic metre and modern linguistics, a trochee (/ˈtroʊkiː/) is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.

It’s usually easy to recognize a word that’s a trochee because it’ll sound like kids TV show title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Power Ranger Mega Turtles lol.

In this case, it’s trochaic dimeter because there’s two trochees. “LET’S-go RAN-gers!” You may have heard of iambic pentameter, somehow that one always seems popular to people. Well an iamb is just the reverse of a trochee, and pentameter means you’d put five of them on each line.

Now that you know what trochees are, you’re gonna see 'em everywhere. Or maybe that’s just me lol.

Edit: For extra fun, what do you think is going on with the clapping afterwards? I feel like we’re doing something with this at the end, but it’s late and I should go to sleep hahah. Good luck!
