Tesla’s Cybertruck just made its grand debut at Mardi Gras 2025, and, well… it didn’t go great. Watch the Video: The Crowd Was Not Having It. A group of Cybertrucks rolled through the Orpheus Parade, a generally tame, family-friendly event known for marching bands, fabulous floats, and an all-around good time. But when the small […]

      Thanks! That’s a better video, I like that. I got to get on Bluesky.

      First video I found was on Facebook, and that was a hot mess to link to.

        Just a reminder for anyone not in the know:

        While Bluesky is better than Xitter right now, don’t forget that it’s still a centralized service that has censored - and will continue to censor - content they disagree with. Bluesky Relay servers costs so much to run that it’s only financially feasible for big corporations to run them. This forces centralization, although technically can be decentralized, and puts it’s end users onto the same path of enshittification that Xitter and other social networks have gone through.

        Mastodon, while imperfect, is actually decentralized (including DM’s - all Bluesky DMs are centralized amd can be viewed by its admins) and cannot suffer this type of censorship.

            You need to log in to view Reddit videos? SHIT. I did not realize that.

            Give me a minute, I’ll swap that out, now I feel like a dick, I thought Reddit was just an easy way to host videos.

            Arghhh, that actually really jams me up, I link a TON of Reddit videos in my articles, didn’t think to check while not logged into Reddit. Welcome to the future, where every piece of technology fucking blows.

              Reddit doesn’t always require login for video. The one you linked gives a message about it being mature content and directs people to the app. I find that message odd because it’s not marked as nsfw and visiting on old.reddit doesn’t give an age prompt and plays just fine.

              You can still view videos without logging in through Redlib, but only without sound because… beats me, because reddit blows.
