unless PeerTube finds a way to pay content creators

Google is a for-profit organization. Framasoft, which developed PeerTube, is a non-profit one. The only way to pay content creators is when people donate money to PeerTube and then PeerTube share that money with creators. Which is also difficult because there are no trackers to know internally who has more subscribers or which video has more views, etc. Internally as using a tracker, but you have to visit one by one every channel and every video to know its numbers.

    To me, it seems like you and the OP resent US users for simply existing in an online space without putting forth any solutions to the issue. Are you sure you’re not trying to find ways to justify anti-US bias?

    If you want the space to have more equal representation, why not produce high-quality content that appeals to your fellows rather than moaning about people who by your own admission mean no harm?

    EDIT:

    There is no need to read those languages. Translations are still a thing. I remember that, while on Reddit, r/Europe posted links in other languages, but OP provided an English translation. So, yes, you can post national news in your official language, whatever it is, and post its translation, and now you have an international community or instance.

    But it seems I'm the only one who posts links in my official language (Spanish) on international communities.

    Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I'm only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don't have proper tools to handle my ADHD.

    On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don't know where to look for them, and I don't know whether they're actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can't afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don't even have a job.

    Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

     

    I like recording my gameplays as a hobby, especially since I watched some youtubers recording theirs. But I have some issues on Lubuntu:

    • OBS is too heavy for my hardware, which is a Mac Mini 2016. Everytime I tried to do some recordings, video appeared heavily stuttered.

    • Ffmpeg is very lightweight, and I was experimenting with it, but for some reason video appears faster and ahead from audio, out of sync.

    • SSR (SimpleScreenRecorder) is the best option for me. But sometimes there are dropped frames. Not too many, although enough to be noticeable at some times.

    Now, my issue with SSR is that I want to use the OpenGL option to see how good or bad it is. The problem is that there is no information on internet except for Steam. And when I want to execute the command ssr-glinject [program], a segmentation fault appears.

    What can I do?

     

    The death this Wednesday of the screenwriter Eduardo Ladrón de Guevara, at the age of 80, has coincided with the farewell of the iconic series of which he was co-creator, Cuéntame cómo pasó.

    An ending that seems scripted and that many have wanted to take advantage of to highlight the contribution of Ladrón de Guevara (Madrid 1943-2023) to comedy in cathodic fiction.

    "We say goodbye to Eduardo Ladrón de Guevara (Madrid 1943-2023), who died today. He was one of the creators of Cuéntame, a series that ends its broadcast tonight. We appreciate his talent and his work in a long career as a #screenwriter. Rest in peace ", wrote the ALMA screenwriters union, in a comment on X.

    The screenwriter Ignacio del Moral, a friend and colleague of his since they met in Eva y Adán, agencia matrimonial, has described him as "a fun, cultured, committed, joking and grumpy guy."

    As it could not be less, the official Cuéntame account has joined the tributes: "Our history could not have been written without him."

    Ladrón de Guevara was, along with Patrick Buckley and Miguel Bernardeau, one of the creators of Cuéntame cómo pasó, a series in which he developed the format, in addition to writing and coordinating a large part of its scripts for 17 seasons.

    From journalism to television

    He began his professional career as a journalist in newspapers such as Informaciones y Pueblo – an editorial that would inspire Toni Alcántara's work in the series –, in addition to collaborating with agencies such as Fax-Press and Colpisa.

    He abandoned journalism to dedicate himself to writing plays and television fiction. Before Cuéntame, he worked on other legendary series such as Farmacia de Guardia or Los ladrones van a la oficina and others such as Tío Willy, Eva y Adán, agencia matrimonial, Querido maestro, Siete días de amor, Manolito Gafotas or Gente encantadora.

    As a screenwriter he was awarded various national and international awards: New York Festival, Ondas, Fotogramas, Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias de Televisión, the Premio Nacional de Televisión in its first edition. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2003 as co-creator of Cuéntame.

    Although his best-known work was as a screenwriter, he wrote more than twenty plays and won awards such as the Calderón de la Barca, Borne, Rojas Zorrilla and Ciudad de San Sebastián, and novels, such as El champán frío y la venganza caliente.

     

    Americans are often surprised to learn than they aren't "Americans" in Spanish, but something else entirely. Spanish speakers are equally surprised to learn that insisting that Mexicans, Chileans, and Venezuelans are "Americans" in English is wrong. This video is an attempt to remedy this gulf in communication between countries and continents (or is it all just one continent?)

     

    The Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios (CSIF) considers "insufficient" the 0.5% increase in the salaries of public employees that will be effective in the payroll for the month of October. This increase is applied as a variable linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) within the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration signed by CCOO and UGT with the Government of Spain in October of last year.

    After knowing the CPI data, which in Castilla-La Mancha increased by 0.5% in August to stand at 2.9%, CSIF considers that salaries continue to be well below inflation indicators, as reported by the center union in a press release.

    Not in vain, the aforementioned agreement established an increase of 6% for three years plus 1.5% in variables until 2024. "Unfortunately, the average CPI in 2022 was 8.4% and the current forecast is for it to be in 2023 at 3.9%. In the best of cases, public employees are losing five points of purchasing power in just two years," CSIF has criticized.

    The president of CSIF Castilla-La Mancha, Julio Retamosa, has highlighted that "any increase is always positive, but in this case it is not only insufficient, but it represents a real injustice for public employees." "With the public workers they settled for the first offer that the Government put on the table. CSIF did not sign that agreement, it was unthinkable. CCOO and UGT overturned the negotiation that we had managed to start with the massive demonstration that we carried out in Madrid "he lamented.

    For all these reasons, CSIF has urged the Government to sit down again with the union organizations present at the General Table of Public Function to renegotiate an agreement that alleviates the loss of purchasing power, which in Castilla-La Mancha has exceeded 20% since 2010, "to which the Cospedal Tax would have to be added".

    "Prices continue to rise, with going back to school more expensive in recent years, with the shopping basket that has risen more than 10%, with fuel prices that continue to rise, and underlying inflation above 6%. We are witnessing widespread impoverishment," concluded Retamosa.
