Ok, good luck on your project. We’ll talk when any given peertube project (based on the donation based funding model alone) reaches break even.

I swear I’ve reviewed the finances about this a million times over. Funding models in their current form just don’t work. Content creators getting free hosting from YouTube with huge audiences are struggling to keep themselves afloat. But whatever, good luck on your project I suppose. We really need YouTube’s monopoly to end, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sure! Remember though, that you are funding this project using your own money. How much does your server cost? How much does the electricity to run your server cost? You would need Gbps speed internet. How much does that cost?

You would be funding this out of your own pocket. Thank you for doing that! Would there be a thousand more people willing to do this? What happens if you lose your job? What happens to the server?

As you can see, this is not a technological issue, but a funding one. If you can generate funding for this somehow, you have a very viable model! IF you can find the funding.

I am saying that funding this would be difficult. I see people just yapping about FOSS, but not funding it when the time comes.

Naah I thought about this before and came to the conclusion that this isn’t that bright of an idea. Here’s why.

Why’s video hosting so expensive in the first place? Because it needs a lot of computational power, storage and bandwidth. All three things that a mobile phone does not have. If you make your client’s mobile phone do this stuff, then you’re going to slow down their phone, make it heat up more, make it degrade faster (because it would be drawing power from the battery) and take up a huge chunk of their bandwidth.

Think of how video calls drain battery really fast. It’s just shifting the costs of hosting from the hosting side to the consumer side while making the entire operation a lot more complicated and a lot more inefficient.

I’m really skeptical of its success primarily due to the immense costs of hosting video. Peertube exists already, and isn’t nearly as successful as Mastodon/Lemmy primarily due to its hosting costs.

Um what. Did u forget to share the link? I can just see an image

For sure! <3

Awh they’re so wholesome and positive. Thanks for sharing these :)

I have hundreds of short form videos which are designed to uplift, encourage, and speak positively about mental health issues.

Could you please drop a link to them? If what u’r saying is true, well I kinda need em at this point in time :(

So tiktok for the fediverse…

Listen, I’m all for open sourcing stuff and I’m all for the fediverse and all. I just don’t understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.

• Short form content is addictive af and doesn’t add anything of substance to society.
• Video hosting is expensive. Peertube is already struggling. How do you expect to financially sustain video hosting that is addictive to the user (which means more consumption) without running ads? Paywalling it won’t be an option due to the network effect as well.

What even is Pinterest? I see people using it as social media, but I never got what it was for. Isn’t it just an image hosting site like Imgur? Or is it more like Instagram?

No. But if u r a rail worker in Germany, Hitler is clearly talking about murdering minorities and u r aware of this information and yet u stay, then yes. U r complicit in the crimes of Hitler.

Ew the new one sucks. Why can’t they spend the money that they have on important stuff instead of changing logos every couple of years? Uk, considering that their funding is going to dry up because of the Google anti trust case?

Hopium question: Can Google be sued for this as anti-competitive behavior and fined for “lost revenue”?

That’s the way to go! AI isn’t bad. Closed sourced AI is.

Oof. Tankies rlly r weird, huh

I think they’re responding to a transphobic comment and not being transphobic themselves. I think they’re addressing a far left, socially conservative conspiracy of saying “trans people r bourgeoisie inventions for culture wars to distract the public from the class war”. This person is saying that this is a far fetched idea.

I’m correct in understanding this, right?

TDLR: Hate the game, not the player. But also hate players who do not wish to change the game for the better.

Have u tried changing user agent? Get an add-on on Firefox with a similar name and change to chrome. The website will now think that u’r using Chrome. U could even change ur displayed OS if it has that big of a problem with Linux.

Never liked Mastodon (neither did I like Twitter, X or whatever tf it is now) because of the no-community nature of it. Therefore, can’t speak for Mastodon vs Lemmy.

However, I do see the “why so serious” problem on Lemmy a lot compared to Reddit. It can be depressing at times honestly. Lemmy really needs to up its shitposting game. Unfortunately, I do find myself going to Reddit when I want to come across uplifting posts. I really don’t want to know how the world is inching towards fascism every day at such times.

Do u live in some place less humans live? Like a village or something? OSM is mapped by volunteers, which means that less OSM enthusiasts around you = worse mapping. Perhaps you could start a little bit of mapping?

As for the voice navigation, well Organic doesn’t have its own voice. It uses ur phone’s native text to speech engine. If u have completely degoogled ur phone, then u probably would be using some other tts engine (which most probably sucks ass).

As for the searches, yeah, they need a better local search engine.
