I didn’t think you could amp-up pretentious at this rate. Do you eventually level off or just keep going further in hopes that people ban you?

If you wouldn’t have been grumpy about downvotes, i’d have left it be :)

The community is speaking to you.

No, we read part three, it just comes off pretentious enough that we think it still deserves a downvote. It’s not a foreign language anxiety; you’re posting in English. It’s just the next rendition of l33t speak, and no one is really in a hurry for that to catch back on again, those were dar days. I did eventually block the last guy that was hot on thorns, might get to you eventually, but it would be a shame, because outside of the ridiculous way you said it, your point isn’t wrong.

yeah, because tourism is doing so well now, we need more reasons to fuck over the industry

I think it’s more likely that 29 people feel pretty strongly negative about your writing style.

I have a friend in Florida. They have a guy that runs a business and does all their house repairs, fells trees, yada yada. His inlaws turned him in for being illegal (he’s not) He had his paperwork with him and they still shipped him off to Alligator Alcatraz. His wife hired a lawyer and had to do all kinds of crap to get him back out… on bail… because his mother-in-law called him an illegal.

They’re shipping people off to places unknown for ‘no law’ too.

Otherwise, simply refuse them passage rather than locking them up and charging them.

Could this be the beginning of the great unfuckening of Florida?

It would have to be the first step in a very long series of events that ends up unfucking them. Any traction they try to gain will be fought tooth and nail with scare tactics and lies to a TON of people that are ready and willing to accept any world-view affirmations as wrote.

A lot of people moved to Florida because they want it to be fucked exactly like it is and changes to the cities will likely breed more contempt than it enacts useful change.

Left to the imagination of the reader

No, they just happened to match police issued rounds exactly.

As far as I can tell, FUTO’s dictation is the best of the ‘private’ keyboards. I was using Heli, but had to tie someone else’s dictation into it, and since I mostly dictate, it was irritating the hell out of me.

The biggest problems I have with it are their leadership shenanigans, and I’m nonplussed that they didn’t use FOSS.

That said, I’m willing to give on FOSS for SA, if they’re not collecting/selling my data.

So I trust them not to sell my data with the aforementioned leadership crap? Yes, for now. But at first word of them getting hungry for money, I’ll re-evaluate what else I can get my hands on.

That said, they cannot have my swipe data; I’d rather not swipe if it comes down to that.

Thanks for the thorough write-up.

It’s not so much that it doesn’t appeal; it’s more like I’m looking at a menu in a foreign language.

I’m middle-aged, I like science, tech, retro, gaming, and whatever VLDL is. I am open-minded to new things, but prefer substance over screaming and outrage. I’ve spent a lot of time sifting through Odysee and Peertube for anything redeeming, and while I’ve not come up empty-handed, I’ve also not found enough content to offset my YouTube habit enough to walk away from the platform (my goal). The service is half the monthly price of Netflix, and while I don’t expect a production company full of quality entertainment, I’d like to be able to fill a couple of hours a day with vaguely interesting programming.

I’ll check em out post holidays pass and my finances recover.

Well look at that, last time I checked it was guest pass or nothing. good move on their part!

I’ll have to give them a shot after the holidays.

I often forget about nebula. I really do like their model. Personally, I think their biggest problem is lacking a free trial. They’re curating, so I expect they’ll have some pretty solid content. But every time I consider them I go and browse their catalog and I don’t recognize most of it, and that what I do recognize is marginally interesting to me, but not worthy of payment.

I suspect their closed model is because it’s very expensive to host that data, and they want to make sure that whoever they put up there is worth spending the money on. Return on investment, yada, yada.

I think its obvious that it would/will go awry.

I’m not even sure that is possible, but I’d like to see us try something.

Maybe the best place to start is by allowing a microtransaction service into the UI and let people add their own API keys to known players.

Non-Gated Microtransactions in Peertube would be pretty cool. I don’t know that it would amount to anything, but it would be a damn good start

Not OP, but I’d work real fucking hard to give us something that can be a viable alternative to Youtube where a corporate monopoly doesn’t take 95% of the cash. It doesn’t even need to be federated, but we all see the shithole Odysee immediately became. We have a substantial number of people here with like interests and marginally like feelings on a lot of topics that would make great video content.

Peertube has been around for 7 years, and there isn’t enough content on it to occupy even a Linux nerd for more than 30 minutes a week. People are only making videos on YouTube because they can make some semblance of a living at it.

I think giving people who are willing to create videos some decent tools for monetization in open products would be a reasonably good idea. We have nothing there now; we don’t have anything to lose by it. It’s not like great content that doesn’t exist can be walled off to us.

This could be as easy as forking peertube and putting in patreon privitization links. Or it could be a federated version of KoFi that ties in.
