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”.

AI satanic panic continues.

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

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.

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.

I think the wheel of history turns on a greater axle than a presidential election. Look at Europe, and the rest of the global north. The machine of neoliberal imperialism has created global instability and climate crisis, and the rich are locking down their spoils with right wing nationalism.

Trump was a fluke, he’d have had more bites at the apple in 2020/2024 and eventually get a win. If not him, then some evangelical fascist.

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

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.

This comment has antivaxxer energy.

And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren’t released.

UN veto power goes a long way.

Fun fact, it was quite common for people to live into their 80s in the past. The shorter life expectancy myth (1) comes with averaging age of death infant mortality, which was far higher and (2) the drop in life expectancy during industrialization.

A few thousand years ago we had a similar life expectancy and worked far less. There are other tradeoffs of course.
