I post videos that are already created elsewhere, so I haven’t created one except for ones I’ve taken with a phone camera.


Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I created a single PNG with the announcement and then tried to convert that to a webm using 3 various suggestions I found online, all involving ffmpeg. All failed. Any suggestions?


Thanks for responding. Could you send a screenshot of how and where you get to that? I have explored quite a bit and haven’t found that. Thanks.

I’ve been reading a lot of articles from 972, and I don’t see evidence of that. Do they explicitly call for the destruction of the Zionist state? No, but that doesn’t make 972 a liberal Zionist rag. (In fact, their latest issue explicitly takes on liberal Israelis on the Gaza genocide.)
If you have some examples where they took bad positions on something concrete, please send them to me. I could be wrong.


Ilana Glazer happens to be in the center of the photo.


I don’t understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don’t think the analogy to videogames is correct here.


You’re welcome, thanks for letting me know!


What are you referring to? The “uncommitted” vote in the Democratic prez primary? Pro-Trump voters maybe, but uncommitted voters didn’t back Trump, they were trying to move Biden/Harris to stop supporting the genocide, which was well underway back then.


And what are they going to DO now?


A Palestinian friend who lived in my neighborhood in the US is there now, in his family’s home. He said it was like 3 nights in a war zone.


The hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.


Just removed them - sorry about that.


I’m pretty sure that you can click by that and still read the full article.


OK, thanks for the heads-up.


Most of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.


I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
Today I will create a crude little video using my phone with the announcement along with a screenshot. That should do it. Thanks for the ideas. :-)
