I wonder if there’s a way to combine it with the ideas talked about in this post https://ponder.cat/post/2961831

The article talks about how powerful mockery and jokes can be. Which makes sense. It’s more fun to tell jokes that make austere criticisms so you can pull people into it with you and grow the number of people participating

And jokes have a more impactful ability to create shame than serious expressions of discontent.

Its a thought! Maybe folks could start contexts to see who could write the most scathing, hilarious jokes about doge

A really impactful read, thank you for sharing ❤️

I’ll have to come back and try to get a gift article link to the next installment he alludes to at the end

Thats a fucking incredible headline lol

For clarity, thats never been protected speech

From the text of their original post it sounds like you’re still allowed to say that. It’s worth reading the post text itself (not saying that to change your stance, I have complicated feelings about this choice by them, but knowing what they’re actually saying is worthwhile)

Aw hell yeah!

Lol, I really appreciate that. Drink some water and rest well man!

If you carefully read the negatives and positives he’s saying kinda the opposite of the first guy :)

I see no reason to believe that letting this guy make unilateral decisions is somehow better than taxing him appropriately and using the revenue to build public housing.

“I don’t believe letting them just spend their money this way is better than doing it with taxes”

And then even more simplified (obviously loosing nuance)

“I don’t think this is as good as doing this with taxes”

People are downvoting because “retarded” is increasingly considered a slur or hateful term (just providing context, do with that what you will)

Did anyone say that it was better this way? He could just go buy another yatch instead.

No one is saying it’s better for rich people to independently spend money on charity pet projects. Appropriate taxation is better but this was still a good way for him to spend his money, it’s still good for him to help his community (he could have just spent that money on a yacht)

Dont let perfection be the enemy of better

This is a variation on the saying “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. Which means don’t reject good things just because they aren’t perfect. Perfect is an ideal that doesn’t exist, and good is still worth celebrating.

In this case, the commenter is saying that perfect would be better taxation and government programs that provide this service to the people. But a private citizen helping people with their private wealth still helps people. That’s a good thing even if it’s not the perfect ideal solution

Personally I am a huge advocate of the “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” mentality :) hope this helps and I hope you have a good day!

That’s so fuckin cool!

The whole outfit is Mega Cute, hope you have a lovely day my friend! 😊

Is that a crossbody bag or like a sweet pouch that hooks onto your belt/skirt

Super cute all around!

Cute art, though now any time I see cute aesthetic stuff like that I worry it’s ai generated 😅

There was a YouTube video of an album someone made with really pretty art as the thumbnail/album art and when I asked who made it they said it was ai, so now that’s just always in the back of my head

I’m having similar looking graphical issues on fedora with GNOME, amd CPU with integrated graphics.

I was kinda wondering if it might be a graphics driver issue but I’m not super knowledgeable 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the explainer I appreciate it :)

Is that good or bad? What license are they using instead?

Edit: looks like they’re using MIT, but I can’t say I really understand the implications of that change

Neat! I was familiar with opendoas, but hadn’t heard there was a sudo reimplementation in rust, thanks for sharing! :)

I don’t mean to be rude or shut down your idea, I’m sorry. But I think it would be difficult to find a successful strategy for growing peertube without understanding the challenges involved.

Personally I think you might have better luck asking smaller youtube creators who don’t make videos as their only source of income. Many of those folks are still frustated with YouTube (though it’s less of a big deal if it’s not their income), and have more reason to consider a platform where they’d be publishing things just for the sake of putting stuff out there

But asking top creators on YouTube to consider peertube as a potential future option is a really difficult sell if it fundamentally can’t provide them with income they’re currently making by publishing on YouTube. It might mean they don’t have to worry about demonitization or copyright strikes or whatever, but there’s no reason those upsides would really matter much if they can’t make a living there. For top creators YouTube is a job, and a demanding one at that.

I think it’d be cool to see peertube consider ways the platform could be monetized if it could be done well, with instances being able to enable it. I’d love to see optional, maybe opt in advertizing with robust controlls for users and creators. But those things are all extremely complicated to implement organizationally without money warping the nature of the project, and from what I know about framasoft I don’t think they would ever even consider anything along those lines.

And the product of that is that peertube can likely only really be a place to host videos that people just wanna put out into the world for their own entertainment. It can’t be a platform for the same kind of high effort, highly produced content that a lot of folks watch on YouTube.

Patreon is kind the only thing that could fill that gap for creators, maybe that helps make it a more real consideration, I don’t know. Patreon/merch is a huge part of income for content creators. I’d love to be wrong and see a couple big creators start publishing on peertube too

The challenge is that top youtubers do this for a living, it’s how they put food on the table, and peertube has no monetization and also no path towards ever having monetization. Unlike other forms of social media with federated alternatives, videos are high cost/effort to host and produce. Its not like mastodon or lemmy where its mostly just text that people throw out into the void for their own entertainment and to socialize with other people.

There are ways you could maybe implement some form of monetization that architecturally respects creators and viewers more, but I’m pretty confident they’re not things peertube as a project would ever implement.

As it stands, it would be kinda like asking professionals to donate their work for free on an ongoing basis.

Unfortunately it feels like peertube is unlikely to ever really offer the same thing YouTube is, in contrast to other fediverse projects that offer a similar experience to their counterparts just at a smaller scale. But producing much of the content people enjoy on YouTube is a career, and peertube can’t really be that without monetization :/

Just wanna stop and appreciate what that text actually says without context…

What a time to be alive. Hackers writing scripts for bovine carcases, what’s next?

Neat!!
