🚨 NEW VIDEO: The Windows Exodus Has Begun.

2025 was the breaking point. Forced hardware retirement and intrusive AI have sparked a mass migration to GNU/Linux. In this video, I explore:

πŸ“ˆ The data behind the 3.20% Steam high.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί How the EU is saving millions by ditching Microsoft.

πŸ›‘οΈ Why 2026 is the year of Digital Sovereignty.

Stop fighting your OS. Start owning it.

No one tells you just how much work goes into a small YouTube channel. For me, Terminal Tilt is a labor of love, but it is a massive undertaking:

Research and Writing: This is the largest portion. Not just diving into topics, but finding ones truly worth your time.

Filming and Privacy: I have chosen a "headless" approach (screen-only). It respects my privacy and helps me manage the workload, but it still requires a lot of setup.

Voiceovers: This is the hardest part for me. Managing social anxiety while recording is a constant hurdle, but it is one I am getting better at with every video.

Editing: I am currently spending 8–12 hours per video (since last video). As I learn more techniques, the complexity grows, but so does the quality.

The small Stuff: Learning GIMP for thumbnails and managing promotion. Those little things really do add up.

I am disabled and currently navigating the long road to SSDI approval. My goal is to grow Terminal Tilt into something sustainable, a way to support myself while advocating for ethical, #NoAI, and #deGoogled technology. I am taking this seriously and I am having a lot of fun building this.

If you value independent, human-made tech content, there are a few ways to help keep the terminal open:

Thank you all for the follows, the boosts, and the support. It means the world to have your backing as I build an independent channel focused on what actually works, not just what's trending.

Hello my beloved children of LGBT.Earth, 🌸🌈

Mother has returned, and I owe you a heartfelt apology. I have been on a quiet sabbatical, and upon my return I found our sanctuary facing a number of unexpected challenges. During my absence, the server was troubled by bot invasions, some posts were mistakenly classified as spam, and a few other hiccups disrupted the flow of our shared space.

I want you to know that Mother has been tending to these matters with great care. The server has been upgraded, performance has been improved, and several stubborn bugs have been gently but firmly stomped out 🐞✨. The bots have been shown the door, and to protect our community going forward, membership is now curated. New members will be reviewed and approved by a human, which will greatly reduce spam and keep this space safe and intentional. I have also removed and banned individuals who brought hate into our home.

You may already notice visual and functional improvements across both the web and mobile experiences, along with a faster and more stable server. These are just the first steps. Mother will continue nurturing this space over the coming months with ongoing improvements to reliability, safety, and comfort for everyone here πŸ’»πŸŒΈ.

Please, if you encounter any issues at all, reach out. You may send a direct message to @Mother or email me at Mother@LGBT.Earth, and I will respond with care. I am here, I am present, and I will be more available going forward.

Thank you for your patience, your trust, and the light each of you brings to this sanctuary. This community matters deeply to me, and I am committed to helping it grow into the safe, joyful, and affirming home you deserve πŸ’–βœ¨

With love and gratitude,
Mother πŸŒˆπŸ’–

Ko-Fi really wants me to make an account on the hell site, but I’m drawing a line in the sand.

As a disabled and omnisexual creator, I refuse to spend my energy in a place that feels increasingly hostile to my communities just for the sake of self promotion. I believe we can build successful brands right here on the #Fediverse without compromising our ethics or our safety. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ ♿️

I am here to focus on what I love: GNU/Linux, open source, and high-quality ethical technologies. Speaking of things I love... I’ve officially set up a Ko-Fi goal to support my caffeine addiction! β˜•οΈ

I’m a bit of a coffee snob, even brewing at home is getting pricey with tariffs and inflation. If you appreciate a queer, disabled perspective on the #Linux world, I’d love your help reaching my $50 goal!

We just saw a post asking for tech podcasts hosted or co-hosted by people who are not cis men, but most of the suggestions were podcasts centered around AI, cryptocurrency and blockchain stuff, none of which we care about, frankly. πŸ˜… Any recommendations, #AskFedi?
