Super! Now the banners look more on-brand lol. Great work. It would be nice to have milestone-based series of these templates. Like what are the first 20% of tiles to place. The next 20%. And so on. Itll help us sort of claim a spot early on if we only focus on an outline first. I wouldve done that part but its super late right now.
It looks much neater now. Thanks for the touch up. I'm happy to hear that you liked the idea, though I think one drawback would be that if someone sees it on the canvas, they wouldn't know it's from slrpnk. So probably not the best for publicity.
Maybe we can wait a little bit for others to give their opinions
Here's my template (sized 46x46). It's a little rough around the edges, and we can change it up to make it more attractive. It features a sunflower in the center, symbolizing hope and the sun itself. The inspiration for the quote came from the write-up in the instance wiki.
So I was thinking about making a template and I realized that the size of the piece we can make depends entirely on the 'man-hours' our instance members can contribute. As an example, if one person can give just one hour to the event, they can place ~100 pixels (not 120 since we're not bots lol) so that's a 10x10 space. So four people contributing 1 hour each or one person contributing 4 hours can enable us to make a 20x20 piece. And so on... So I was wondering if there is a way we can get a rough idea of our total 'man-hours' so we can make a decent sized piece? We can wing it and make a small one and then expand it / make more if we have more people but the former method might be more resource effecient maybe.
I'd like to take this opportunity to shill Yaqeen institute's "The Salahuddin Generation" youtube video series. They did a great job with trying to make it relevant to our situation today.
Thanks a lot for taking out the time to leave a comment here. I totally agree with you. It all makes sense when seen in its full context.
Since the post wasn't getting any engagement, I was also planning to write something but wasn't able to take out time for it. Btw, on a related note, how would you answer someone saying that voilence of any kind is unnecessary, even when you're wronged?
I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but imo not getting recommendations from YouTube's algorithm at all might be better. Why? From the Cambridge analytica scandal we have proof that these algorithms have the capability to manipulate people's ideologies without their consent. I think your algorithm basically personalizes an indoctrination strategy. The idea is not new, it has been talked about in the famous book 'Manufacturing consent'.
Let's say, they don't have a grand political plan behind their algorithm, but even then, the algorithm is just optimizing your feed for maximum engagement rather than intellectual nourishment. They just want you to watch more and more. And not spend much time to stop, think and reflect.
As for recommendations, you can get them organically from your close friends (they'd def be happy to send you a bunch lol) or from lemmy communities (like the documentaries ones)
I think they mainly fear that if they pardoned him, it will create a knock on effect leading to even more whistleblowers. People who were on the fence about becoming whistleblowers would see that the repercussions aren't that severe anymore and hence might take that step.
