What could be done to make PeerTube more popular?
  • Right? I have been thinking how someone could build something like that. I would love to try my hand at a landing page like that

  • Right I forgot about that. That's also a thing with Mastodon. I think in decentralized Services need to push that there are each other so it doesn't matter which one that you end up going with. That's at least what drove me to get on let me in the first place cuz I know that whatever instance I would get on would allow me to participate with everybody else the same way you and me are on different instances right now.

    What could be done to make PeerTube more popular?
  • I mean a large problem with services like Lemmy Mastodon and peer tube is that they're complicated. There's a learning curve require that I don't have to have if I go to a place like YouTube or any other video site. Peertube requires me to learn about servers and other things in order to fully utilize their service and that's a massive barrier to the public. Currently it's preventing me because I just frankly don't have time to go learn about more technological Concepts to best use a service.

    Don't get me wrong it's not a dig at the services. They are excellent and I'm glad they're here and one day I will figure out peertube but until these sites are as easy to use as going to a link and just doing whatever the person wants to do if they're just not going to take off. Places like limmy and Mastodon and even peertube need a centralized portal so that is just super easy to start.

    Your Southwest flight arrived on time.
  • Oh my friend. You think these companies do things in a logical scalable way? I have some really bad news....

    Theoretically that could work but sometimes security measures require computers be BitLocker encrypted and certain softwares could make this difficult to achieve like fixing a domain controller.

    Link-Busters Sent a Billion DMCA Takedown Requests to Google Search.
  • I mean yeah I know most pirates won't use Google and will use other search engines but the majority of people using the internet don't even know that there are other search engines to use. Keeping them off Google is effective at preventing them from reaching other people.

  • It's going to be a grind. This is causing blue screen of death on Windows machines which can only be rectified if you have physical/console access.

    In the cloud space if this is happening to you I think you're screwed. I mean theoretically there's a way to do it by installing Windows unmounting the disc from the virtual machine to another working virtual machine but it's a freaking bear.

    Basically everyone's going to have to grind this whole thing out to fix this problem. There's not going to be an easy way to use automation unless they have a way to destroy and recreate all their computers.

    I live in linuxland and it's been really fun watching this from the side. I really feel for this admins having to deal with this right now because it's going to just suck.

    DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?
  • Yeah not showing up to vote would certainly show the controlling Elites what is. Also goes nicely with that 30% of Americans that don't vote no matter what. If you're going to insist on idiotic plans at least vote third parties so you know your vote actually counts as a statistic of a locally grumpy voter. On the bright side if you guys get your way and Trump does get elected it could make the material circumstances bad enough that we could see a real upheaval in American society that will make things significantly worse and then make things significantly better.

    Biden administration restores protections for gay and transgender Americans seeking health care
  • Okay that's good news but how does that relate to states that do have bans on gender affirming care like Texas? Does this give the hospital room to fight or something?

  • By the same measure you could say the same thing about many other historical figures. There is enough historical documents that meet the same standards used by everyone to say that Jesus at least existed but thats pretty much it.

    Does this plan make sense? v2
  • Missing a lot things. Gerrymandering can still occur without the electoral college, tax things seems neat in theory but need to deal with corporate taxes, term limits on the supreme court would make things worse (research indicates an age out system would be better), Police system will still be fundamentally broken, companies will still continue to maximize profit to everyone but the shareholder deficit, stock buybacks are creating major issues and allow companies to game Wallstreet, are just a few things that I think are missing here that need to be addressed.

    "But my friend runs a PinePhone as a daily driver"
  • I mean not technically.. those products use a separent kernel that has its own development path away from the Linux kernel. Linux is just a compatible Unix kernel but I wouldn't classify it as a Unix operating system since it diverges into its own thing. Android still uses the Linux kernel not some piece of code that they developed and not some commercial Unix product

  • I thought you could just use the Android open source project? I thought the tracking was mostly baked into Google's flavor of Android not the open source product

    After 2-year-old girl shoots self, man becomes first person charged under Michigan's gun storage law
  • The point I was addressing is that the supreme Court shouldn't strike this law down as it doesn't affect ownership of guns. If the guy's a felon he probably should not have had a firearm but I can understand why he would want one.
