Thanks!

What new comm did you make? 😊

Thank you, it sure is a time to be an American 🙃 lol

Take care my friend :)

Yeah. It does feel like some places have never had to confront racism and work through it in the same way America has (not that we're doing a great job 😬😬😬🥲). America has a LOOONG history of acute racism, but it's also been a cultural conversation here more than I think it has been in a lot of other places.

It seems to me like it kinda manifests differently here and some people assume the outwards, acute image of racism they imagine in America is the only way it can look, and there's no need to reflect on how they themselves relate to race. Or maybe that racism is mostly about mistreatment of black folks, and they never make the connection to their gross assumptions and internalized "othering" of other demographics. Racism comes in a lot of different flavors and intensities, whether it's acute hatred, or gross subtext that shows you the assumptions someone has made about people who look differently than themselves.

I'm sorry to hear you've dealt with so much gross behavior in Canada, that's always a sadening thing. Sending love from one of your neighbors down south, take care!

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

Thanks for the links! ❤️

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 :/

😬😬😬 thats a yikes. Thats several yikes even 😅

Fuck Giordan, all my homies hate Giordan 😤

Thats a real shame. I was just thinking about homebrewing my Wii, though I'm not sure that'd affect anything.

But it's really unfortunate when something like this happens and it turns out the code's origin was hidden.

Edit: apparently this situation is maybe more complicated than that initial take https://social.treehouse.systems/@endrift/114411830912665235 there's lots of interesting discussion here for anyone curious to learn more about what's going on

Nice!

Though, I dont know a ton about supras but I feel like it'd look a lot cleaner without the lip spoiler.

Its not on all supras when I looked up images but it was on a good number so I wonder if it was like a certain trim package to something like the r-package lip spoiler (and other trim pieces) for the na miata

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?

Lmao

:(

May she rest in peace.

I've heard if you use fresh fried chips the don't get soggy but I just toast my regular tortilla chips in the toaster oven and that seems to make them hold up really well :)

I mean, it is rather clever, that's an excellent quote

Cool typgraphic design!

(For other English speakers the first lines all say "never again", and the last Google translate tells me is "is now!" but there may be a better way to translate it in this context)

Though:
"never again" is now
does make sense. This is the time to remember our past mistakes and choose differently today than we have in the past

I appreciate how incredibly proud of himself the guy looks after he tosses the mines, his face and posture make me happy lol

Neat!!

What's esso? I don't think I've actually heard of them before
