Technology Connections<p>There&#39;s a whole host of good people out there who - believe it or not! - are still using cold war vocabulary. They have not read the theory and whipping out &quot;capitalism bad&quot; freaks them the fuck out.</p><p>They usually want the same thing as you do, but it&#39;s your job to help them see it. And it starts with meeting them where they&#39;re at. Step 1.</p>
Technology Connections<p>In re: some conversations I&#39;ve had in other places (real and online)</p><p>A lot of people in leftist circles seem to begin conversations on step 8 and are surprised when the person they&#39;re talking to isn&#39;t receptive.</p><p>Ya gotta start on step 1.</p>
Technology Connections<p>I have been working on this video in the background for months, and I barely got it together before no effort november.</p><p>So let&#39;s learn about freeze dryers and how bonkers it is to own one (in my opinion, anyway)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Namf-Ddo_Xo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=Namf-Ddo_X</span><span class="invisible">o</span></a></p>
Technology Connections<p>My Twitter account had been locked for something like 2 years.</p><p>It is now gone.</p><p>And aside from the occasional in-video references to it, the links have been removed from my YouTube channel.</p>
Technology Connections<p>backing up the last project file and it would fill 220 CD-ROMs.</p><p>with a 52X CD drive, that would take some 7+ hours of write/read time and who knows how much extra time shuffling discs around.</p>
Technology Connections<p>I made a new video about a thing which I&#39;m fairly sure most everybody using this platform will already know about!<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkIR23emsWY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=WkIR23emsW</span><span class="invisible">Y</span></a></p>

Technology Connections<p>Now, people browsing YouTube looking for something to watch are getting a helpful video with a thumbnail and title that makes clear &quot;this is a door closer, they are adjustable, I will show you how to slow them down&quot; and they&#39;re going to learn a lot of cool shit if they click through.</p><p>That&#39;s why I do this. And please feel free to bookmark this thread in case you&#39;d like to educate one of the loud YouTube/video haters for me.</p>
Technology Connections<p>So next time someone shares a YouTube video with you and you want to be a stick in the mud about that, remember that everyone has their own paths to knowledge *and* their own way to spread knowledge.</p><p>&quot;this could have been an article&quot;</p><p>Yeah it could be, and in fact it is! Anyone could look up door closers on Wikipedia and get the gist of my video&#39;s information.</p><p>But many millions of people don&#39;t even know they&#39;re called door closers. Hell, I didn&#39;t! Not until I needed to install one.</p>
Technology Connections<p>Ya know what? I&#39;m gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.</p><p>I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.</p><p>And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn&#39;t sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.</p>
