It’s actually a different thumbnail from the YouTube version and I wouldn’t call this stupid. You only see the eyes and no facial reaction.

I don’t know if this is true for Slovakia, but if you industry is dependent on (cheap) gas, it’s not easy nor cheap to transition to something else.

Also what is the alternative? One thing would be expensive gas from somewhere else, that might come from Russia via another country anyway. Then what about wind and solar? Well, with solar you become dependent on China, because Europe hasn’t managed to be competitive at all. What about wind then? That’s great, but we still need another source of power when the wind isn’t blowing. Both solar and wind needs rare earth materiels not really found in Europe.

Also who should pay for all of this?

Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭

Wouldn’t they have shown up on the cam?

AirVPN looks a bit “old”, but it has better support on Linux afaik.

Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?

Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.

What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?

Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.

There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.

You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.

We just can’t have nice things…

You could just start the community, no?

I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.

It must mean it’s making a difference, to the point where someone is trying to censor it.

So the mods removed a 48 days old post just all of a sudden?

Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

A medium ranged laptop can be rather expensive and how would you deal with upgrades or a dead drive?

I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.

/s?

There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.

10 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD

That doesn’t sound cheap though and it would become more expensive over time, right?

If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL
