The video itself is fine, but linking odysee when it’s dominated by nazis, charlatan chiropractors pretending to be medical doctors, and all the rest that youtube won’t allow on their platform probably due to racism isn’t a good thing. A youtube alternative would be nice but not when it’s composed of nazis.
I think you missed the point.
I have had similar thoughts about early posts and upvotes and downvotes making people more unlikely to post even slightly differing opinions for fear of getting a negative number or something silly like that, but this seems like an issue with the platform in general and is only worse because we have a smaller community on Lemmy.
I don’t try and push my weird opinions on my wife lmao. She knows how I feel and understands and does what she wants and that’s okay. My advice is to communicate and respect each other even if you don’t agree and don’t be a controlling dork.
As always I am reminded that governments are run by the tech illiterate.
I’ll admit I took the bait, but I am more embarrassed for the instance that they got to actually defederate.
I think you succinctly described the problem the internet is facing. I am not even sure making it illegal to have information is really necessary anyway. Consider Googles Web Environment Integrity, DRM that can effectively control access to websites, a single company controlling the information we are allowed to consume. An economic system based on capital will always work against our interests.
This is why piracy is not only ethical, it is good for humanity to share information as widely as possible.
I worked as a cashier in a supermarket.
Some stores are very strict about coupons and do monitor what a cashier has in their drawer. I doubt most cashiers would even care if you stole from the store as long as it wasn’t their problem.
These people are just trying to keep their jobs and the corporation that has its boot on their neck might be the only place that will hire them. Do you really expect them all to stop working and protest when they see their jobs being replaced? Come on, they have rent to pay and kids to feed. Have more empathy towards those suffering from capitalism.
Not all are connected, and I don’t think it would be wise to do so in the long run anyway if I keep trying to preserve data like I am. Eventually I’ll have a proper backup system and a dedicated NAS.
I keep everything I download as long as it’s of sufficient quality on many large HDD’s. Most of my media is then served through Jellyfin. Considering the state of the internet recently I think it’s important to download what you care about before it becomes unavailable.
I’m not concerned with the ‘morality’ of copying files. I will because I can.
None. I run Jellyfin locally. No license bullshit or fifty different services. Don’t even need internet if it goes down and I can curate my own library.
It would be a shame if people started backing up and archiving their favourite YouTube channels using yt-dlp.
I don’t think it really matters in the long run. After that site goes public and they try and appeal to advertisers, that subreddit and NSFW in general will become unpalatable to advertisers for not being ‘brand safe’ regardless of legality of simple discussions. It might take a few years but migration is inevitable.
That’s nice if you want to update I guess, but Koreader is such a better experience that I’d never bother using the stock reader anyway.
I jailbroke my old Kindle paperwhite a while ago and installed Koreader on it and just read Epub through that without having to convert anything. No internet, no amazon and you can get second hand Kindles for cheap.
I think Free Software philosophy is polarising because advocates understand proprietary software mistreats the user and there is too much risk or temptation by developers or their corporate interests for profit. If you follow that train of thought you should be able to see why it would be inappropriate to recommend proprietary software in FOSS spaces.
I wouldn’t give them a cent or negotiate at all either, and the public aren’t going to give a shit about how they’re being tracked.
There are legitimate reasons for not wanting to use Fdroid and their builds are apparently reproducible, not sure what you mean about not being fully FOSS either. https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/
Because odysee platforms them and it shows up in recommended videos, when searching for content and on the front page, along with bigotry. If you want to defend odysee some more do a search for ‘jews’ on it and see what you get.
