@nohillside@smnn.ch„20 years from now we'll be inundated with documentaries more honestly detailing what a gargantuan bullshit artist Elon Musk was. Until then we appear stuck in a press-enabled purgatorial innovation mythology comically detached from anything resembling factual reality.“

@kazys@mastodon.socialA while back we subscribed to our local PBS station. PBS has really become awful now. Take, for example the recent ISS episodes of NOVA. TOTAL GARBAGE. Homemade Documentaries does much better work and that's one college-age creator. So we let it lapse. PBS needs a wake up call. rant continues
@seav@en.osm.townThere’s some well-deserved glee when Melania’s vanity documentary is not selling at the box office.

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgWhilst waiting for weather to clear would love to spend some time prepping Loops/peertube clips, editing together music, text etc with some very short videos I've shot (very roughly -> don't expect BBC style nature documentaries), while in the middle of fieldwork.
EDIT: I just discovered @… have added creator mode to the @… app! Awesome work - will test it out right now. If it works from #Antarctica, guess it will work anywhere?
What are your recommendations for easy lightweight ideally #FOSS apps for video editing on an android phone? Don't mind paying but privacy is essential...
