Unfortunately video platforms are also much harder on small hosts. More storage, more bandwidth, harder to moderate.

I feel like the solution might be a media management company, like buffer, offering to host videos directly and over a open protocols for a small upgrade in addition to posting to YT et all.

how much are you donating to lemmy?

It’s a pretense to shake down nonprofits with any connection to defending our rights. Open their books and make a mountain out even the slightest mistakes. Scare opponents into inaction.

However bluesky is not decentralized. This is handled by their appview, which other bluesky clients might change

I think communicating that someone is blocked is a useful part of blocking. Even if it’s just a notification after comment “you have a blocked reply, it will not be visible to the poster”.

Metric will never recover from not being base-12. Ease of use and intuitiveness suddenly trumps “objective” design. We’d have metric time right now, smh.

AI satanic panic continues.

This does come with a (maybe trivial) cost for those hosts of not being able to enter the UK.

mullvad as outcast tier while…it’s advertised on public transit and highway billboards

bullshit framing. this isnt reddit defending privacy. it’s protecting the user data they want to sell to AI trainers. while killing the archival record.

Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

He knows Trump will win, it’s a safe bet to win some favor.

Unfortunately this financing requires a populace widely adopting cryptocurrency…making it a pipe dream for mainstream use.

Tips are generally a bad model as well, which creates an incentive for rapid and pandering work (like ad supported content).

Patreon had frankly built all of YouTube that is worth watching. I think a simple payment system using real banks can be integrated into smaller hosting services.

It’s all academic though, YouTube is unrivaled in ad revenue and helping you expand an audience.

It’s concerning how this pseudoscience is getting so much traction, and we’ll be left with a bunch of nonsensical privacy regulation. Granted I’m happy to err towards too much privacy regulation, but can imagine other privacy issues getting less traction.

It probably wont happen in the US, but i really hope enough countries crack down on PFAs to have some reliable sources of safe everyday products

I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

I hope this works out. Local news media outside of huge cities is 3 nextdoor posts in a trenchcoat.

Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.

With the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

These comments, including this one, are an embarrassment. Worse than reddit right now.
