They’re better at smelling cancer than humans.

I’m not sure we can definitively say they hallucinate less.

Hmm, I swapped FB with Lemmy for my quick dial when the elections heated up, guess I’ll just leave it that way.

Some people want convenience of accessing the data between devices.

It’s okay to store stuff in the cloud just make it’s encrypted deeply and thoroughly and that the user is the only person with the key.

There’s absolutely no reason for them to have access to this data.

Ignoring lack of parking, slow travel and waste disposal, it’s more like 3-6k if you already live on a farm. 5-10k if you board it with someone, and you’ll likely need a car to get you to the stables.

A bicycle however…

Well, the idea would be for one of them to get a business class connection, then they all split the price.

People have done this. That was a story I read maybe 6 months ago about a guy that couldn’t get FiOS at his location. They kept jerking him around on getting the business class connection then the fiber contractors kept drinking around it’s kind of hard to pull this off in a way where the companies don’t jack you around.

yes indeed, was preparing to write something more complicated, then decided to use a less than and didn’t pay any attention that I needed to change the number :)

Oh, let there be no mistake, Trump doesn’t give a damn about manufacturing inside our borders. Trump wants to do what the companies pay him to do. It’ll be the US corporations that have to allow the invasion of Taiwan, I suspect that he’ll have a vested interest in keeping Taiwan around.

Dunno, I’d say they’re working pretty hard on this already:

Windows 10 is about to expire

Windows 11 has extra ads and telemetry.

Windows 11 has invasive AI recall

Windows 11 won’t run on hardware < 8th* gen Intel or without TPM chips

All the new apps are getting AI components that can snitch on what you’re doing. You can’t even post something into notepad without it being aware of what’s in your content and calling home.

It won’t trigger or accept my Bitwarden passkeys, and on google, if I do the use other device, it pops on my phone for bio auth, but the browser just never accepts the credentials.

I’d try it if I were you, I do a lot of strange things. just check to make sure they work for you first.

I wore out 2 copies of Short Circuit. I could start working on a third.

Long live the Duck

or SearX, which by proxy uses the duck and whoever else :P

Floatplane is feeling that. At small scale, they’re really a poor value proposition.

The other value is… copyright: Because

Copyright is the one thing I can’t think of a way to work around in a decentralized fashion. There is very little to stop people from hosting non-free movies, TV shows, or other people’s content. Community policing can only do so much.

The lack of proper copywriter policing prevents you from using their centralized monetization strategy. If you get paid to let them overlay ads, people will just record and repost your videos. If you use sponsorship, Sponsorblock will eat your lunch. You can try to do lockdown and Patreon; eventually, someone will copy and repost your stuff for free. Unauthorized copying ties closely with monetization. Without monetization, the lion’s share of content providers aren’t going to bother.

Most of the other problems are technical issues that can be solved, but there has to be a willingness to share a little more resources at the client level and enough money in it for people to develop the systems. The TB/day problem would evaporate if people had to pay a small amount for the GB of garbage they’re uploading to YouTube to get rich quick. I’m honestly shocked they haven’t added tiny fees for storage at their basic cost for the service. If your stuff takes off, they pay you for the ad view, if it doesn’t take off, you’ll be likely to remove the worthless burden from their system.

Yeah, sadly, bringing Brave into any browser conversation is like saying, “Please take a dump on my face.” And I get some of the vitriol. Brave would likely sell you down the river for $7 if they thought they could get away with it, but so would two-thirds of the browsers out there. Even Firefox, the last true holdout at the moment, is hungry. I hope they find a rev stream before they do something drastic.

I like the concept of letting you choose the ads you see and earning some of the compensation. But it needs to happen at the advertiser level. I’d like a world where I pay a little to the browser, a little to the originator, and maybe get a small pool to dedicate to a site or cause I want to patronize.

I think the biggest barrier on peer tube is the lack of easy monetization. Your average content maker is not ready to seek out a sponsorship and maintain that relationship. Vast majority of content we have out there is because people are seeking to make a few bucks.

And that’s why I keep them in the running. They openly claim that they intend to support V2 for as long as they are able but they admit the possibilities of having to push that code in if chromium made it difficult enough to maintain.

Yeah, I’m using Ninja on about 120 boxes. It’s set to auth critical only. If someone reports a problem, we’ll go ahead and blacklist that update temporarily while we sorted out even though it’s semi-automated they never happen all at once there’s always a couple of canaries that get up a little early.

Yeah, I don’t use their sync for bookmarks. I just keep the plugins the same with that. I installed the X bookmarks plugin everywhere and just do a manual export/import when I want to. Is keeping my toolbars lined up between all the different browsers.

That’s what people are doing with sponsored segments.

My gut is that if Peertube had an ad marketplace that content providers would flock to it. But ODYSEE already failed at monetization. And then you’d have to have some kind of guardrails in place to keep people from hosting pirated* movies for $$$.
