What was the part that didn’t fit?

It does appear that Ladybird has a grant from FUTO. (At least if their website can be trusted. They have a history of boosting their own image by implying relationships with projects/organizations/etc without the other organization knowing anything about it. But I think (probably?) the “Grants” section is more reliable than the “Microgrants” section on that score.)

But Tor and Signal and MicroG and Creative Commons have similarly received grants from FUTO and I wouldn’t think of them as projects that FUTO has undue influence on. (I’m pretty certain most of them preexisted FUTO, for one thing. Could be wrong on some of them. But I’m pretty certain none of those were “built by” FUTO the way, say, Grayjay was.)

But I’m still nervous about it. This might just be FUTO trying to bolster its own image by making it seem like they’re more responsible for Ladybird than they really are. (Mind you, I haven’t even watched the video because, like you, I think FUTO’s all absolute shitbags that I don’t want anything to do with.) But this post seem to be implying FUTO is more involved with Ladybird than I’d hope, if of course it can be trusted.

Just how associated with Ladybird is FUTO?

Jesus. I guess we’re going to have to start figuring out how to reverse engineer our keyboards so we can install QMK on random built-in laptop keyboards and cheap Logitech membrane keyboards to repair the damage Microsoft has done to them.

The kind who spends more time compiling than using my system.

Well, you can look at the description of the video where it says among other things “I use some form of AI application to make all my videos and have for the last 3 years”.

As others have mentioned, the video you posted is (largely/mostly?) AI-generated content. And I think a fair amount of Lemmy users (like myself) are pretty rabidly disdainful of anything AI-generated and will object to anything AI-generated that’s posted. (Rightfully so IMO.)

Yup.

Slop.

Wait, where’s Gentoo?

The mind of man is holy.

Right? I thought I was in /c/greentext@lemmy.ml for a minute.

Let’s all block each other.

Oh sweet. I’ve been hearing how great this talk was and looking for a place where I could watch a video of it. Thanks.

I mean…

There are games I pay for, but only on Nintendo consoles. Aside from that, it’s strictly write it myself or go without.

I definitely should donate to more FOSS projects, though.

Some vaccines don’t really guarantee anything beyond reducing your chance of ending up in a hospital (and they can be less good even at that if the particular strain that you get isn’t the one you were vaccinated for.) For some vaccines, even vaccinated, you can still get the disease you’re vaccinated for and have anything from a couple weeks of being sick to life-long debilitating effects.

All else being equal, unless you have some particular reason why you’re not a good candidate for a particular vaccine, the significant majority of people are much better off vaccinated than unvaccinated, but vaccinated doesn’t necessarily mean safe to go lick doorknobs or, case in point, dine with a dozen relatives, whether those relatives are vaccinated or not. And of course there are plenty of reasons why OP might be at higher risk than most.

Did you consider wearing an N95 and washing hands thoroughly upon departure

Not OP, but if the main attraction of the “holiday event” is a meal, it’s not like you can wear an N95 mask to eat. I suppose it’d be an option to make a quick appearance and then bow out before the meal, but it sounds like OP’s family’s would just be assholes to OP if OP showed up just to leave early (and was also assholes when OP declined to show up entirely.)

My pixels too are insufficiently numerous.

And that’s before he soaks it in the blood of innocents.
