IDK how easy it still is these days.

It’s certainly and obviously not, but:
Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone’s gotta correct that. But it’s not a complete monopoly in the sense of “if you don’t eat you die”. If the main supermarket in the area doesn’t like me because “boobs” or something, I can still go to a minimarket.
…Look, you really get tiresome. I’d ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don’t try to drain mine.
I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn’t bark doesn’t eat.
But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I’d thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren’t.
and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards
Then do so. Come on. It’s 2024.
Until something is seriously done, being able to at least go elsewhere has to be and is the rational option that is left.
Unless they want it to be possible that people see their content.
That’s what the airwaves are for.
But no, really, Youtube is neither that open nor that essential that the people not there are Somehow Invisible on the Internet. And even if that was somehow the case, you actually don’t need to upload video, you can just use a normal youtube account to comment and link your content wherever relevant “conversations” lead there.
I yearn to find the lost knowledge of how to do those thingies!
Okay where is False?
There’s like [checks notes] 2 more video platforms on the internet!
No reason these people can’t post on those, or host their own.
Next up!
ICANN approves use of .awesome-selfhosted
domain for your network
Every time this discussion comes around, I remember a scene from The Day After Tomorrow that makes me laugh very loud, that is Americans ilegally crossing the border to Mexico and then the Mexico pres having pity of the US and admitting the immigrants in exchange for the US forgiving the entire national debt.
Always has been.
I think Proton is a good choice. I’ve heard good things about them.
Well they have been behaving just as Microsoft has been doing if we’re complaining about these kinds of behaviours. Handing over information about environmentalists and freedom fighters to repressive governments, etc.
a curse upon these distros
It’s not the distros, it’s Flathub who provides those warnings.
I might be old but I seem to recall the French taught the proper way to protest this kind of stuff, rather than the soft protests we saw in 2020, let alone 2016.
As for me, fortunately I live in tbe Best Hemisphere so I plan to offer whatever housing space I have available so my friends from the US can flee over and nap the Trump Kingdom over.
GRRM is still writing his series.
That’s simple: have the earliest works released into the public domain, while he keeps squatting on the newer and promised ones.
How long do you think copyright should be?
No easy solutions but my general guideline would be that both copyright and patents should never last more than half the retirement age of a current generation, calculated via actuarial tables or some trustable scientific method.
The rationale is simple: the ultimate purpose of both is (or, well, should be) to promote creation so that society in general can be participant of the resulting effects. Half the retirement age not only is a good compromise between giving creator control and giving at least half of society the opportunity to enjoy the public good result of creation within their lifetime and within their fair opportunity to earn wages, in particular in such cases as eg.: big pharma and medications, but also promotes that big creators, such as corporations, act towards the public good of lengthening life and providing good living standards for the rest of society.
And they specifically logged and delivered data about freedom fighters and environmentalists, so there’s some bias on Proton’s hand there.
Nice try, fed.
