This is an "update" video- letting folks know where I've been the last few weeks, what I'm busy with, and what's coming next for the channel. I included a silly description for YouTube, since I figured nobody reads them over there. Turns out I was a bit wrong, so I'll include it here for you all to enjoy. YouTube description below: To quote the wise old Bender B. Rodriguez- I'm back, baby! This is my first video back after a few weeks away. What have I been up to and what's next? Watch the video to find out? Or just skip around to the chapters... whatever. You know what you want, you're YouTube viewers. I appreciate each of you for watching my videos. Do any of you even read video descriptions? I bet most folks don't. I mean, honestly, I get it. So many YouTube video descriptions are basically nothing but affiliate links at this point. What's up with that, anyway? Maybe if YouTube funded us better we'd feel inclined to, you know, not do that? At the same time, what is this rampant consumerism doing to the "vibe" for YouTubers? Particularly with the coming rise of AI, how likely is it that in the next few years, most YouTubers will be reading AI-written scripts with AI-written ad-reads and AI-derived shopping lists for you all to follow. I have some serious concerns that the zeitgeist will be impacted. Shoot, the upload is almost done. Speaking of consumerism run amok, I suppose I have an obligation to share my support links. You can find the direct links at https://support.linux.mom, which contains an up-to-date list. At the moment, I've just launched a Ko-Fi as well: https://ko-fi.com/VeronicaExplains. There's other places too, but let's be honest, I'm just hoping someone actually read this far. Tell you what, if you read this far into this description, go ahead and leave me a comment with "I understand". That way I'll know this was worth it. Ack! I almost forgot the damn chapters and hashtags- do they even do anything anyway? 00:00 Should I even call it an introduction? Does it matter? 01:04 It's my basement! 02:45 Madness takes its toll... retro madness. 03:44 Supporter-only livestreams as a thank you for my supporters #linux #vintagecomputing #CeciNestPasUneHashtag
