Terminal Tilt is exactly 58 subscribers away from the 1K milestone and monetization.

In case you are new to my channel, welcome! As a disabled queer creator, I know how often our voices are drowned out by corporate "ai" sludge. Terminal Tilt is a space where I can speak authentically, fight for digital sovereignty, and show that there is a place for us in the technical world.

I started it because I like to watch YouTube and I often search for Linux videos. I find it infuriating that 90% of the videos have "ai" generated voices, graphics, and scripts. I want to learn new things, not have unoriginal ideas regurgitated to me by bots. Terminal Tilt is a strictly Non-AI channel focused on ethical computing, promoting #FOSS, and providing a direct alternative to the Big Tech surveillance machine. I respect your time and your sovereignty. Lets build a community together!

If you believe in a web where the user is in control and their privacy respected, and our technology does not have to destroy the planet, help me cross the finish line today.

I have some great stuff in the pipeline, such as reviews for security hardware, quick looks and installations of GNU/Linux distributions , and discussions on the state of computing.

I am also improving quickly. Every video has been a learning experience and I am very open to constructive criticism.

My newest video from earlier today: 5 Extensions for Real Digital Independence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9FjlZMJBQ

My most popular video (90k+ views): The Windows Exodus Has Begun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLzdTgCXyRU

I also post videos to PeerTube here: https://gnulinux.tube/c/terminaltilt/videos

Every boost helps us show that independent, human created tech content has a place in 2026.

New blogpost:

"Testing Radicale, a self-hosted FOSS CalDAV and CardDAV Server"

Setting it up was easy.

Importing my calendar appointments history was not.

It doesn't have calendar sharing, and I'm on the fence as to whether this will be a deal breaker.

I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

https://www.theverge.com/features/861968/year-using-linux

> One year on Linux, two distros, a few tears, four desktop environments, and zero regrets about leaving Windows.

2 distros and 4 DEs, well I guess there were a bit more than a few tears. Ending with Fedora and KDE which is what I install at install party.

Förderaufrufe NLNet FOSS Frist 01.02. max. 50.000 Fördersumme

Ich bin nicht sicher, inwiefern das schon bekannt ist, bin aber auf diese wirklich offene Fördermöglichkeit zu Projekten im #fediverse heute erst zufällig gestoßen, es gibt auch noch eine zu #commons soweit weitere zu GNU usw.
Frist 1.02., man muss keine juristische Person sein, wer Interesse an #foss #opensource #gemeinwohl. hat, vielleicht lohnt sich ein Blick.

Hi everyone

We're a new tech co-op that aims to support people working for social good with compassionate and caring tech support. No more feeling alone, no more getting stuck. That thing that is a total showstopper for you, may be an easy fix for us. We’ll be there for you.

We're currently mostly one person @kawaiipunk who is a founder member of @autonomic (and friends) but we're looking to expand.

@_elena grazie mille! è oggettivamente un mondo un po' complesso per chi non conosce il mondo #FOSS, credo che ci sia molto da lavorare sulla parte di #ux per l'onboarding degli utenti singoli (tipo mio suocero, toh), ma lato amministrazione è una roba super-smooth.

This is great! I love seeing little purposeful applications like this.

I started putting my thoughts together on why I don't use AI. It will take time to write it all out, it feels like an essay. I could probably come up with a hundred reasons, but I am currently at eight just off the top of my head.

I want to share one that no one talks about.

Big tech companies are using cheap labor in the global south to filter the human trauma on the internet in order to train LLM models. People in countries like Kenya, India, and the Philippines spend 9+ hours per day viewing the most horrific content imaginable (violence, abuse, hate speech, etc) at $1.50/hr. They are literally using the minds of people in precarious economic situations as a filter to protect the sensibilities of the wealthy. They claim it is opportunity when it is actually predatory.

The next time you ask an "ai" to summarize a 450 word article for you, think about the human filter required to make that answer safe. You are not just saving time, you are benefiting from a predatory labor practice that pays pennies to protect your sensibilities.
