In the sense that there are different servers for the same service, but it’s not a social platform.

Youtube makes it harder to use when you block their ads despite which browser, for example.

Peertube, will run well on most modern web browsers and you don’t need a functioning adblocker to block ads on Peertube as by defualt, there are none. But may vary from server to server.

That was one my points.

Searx, has no ads, and is federated, And so is Mastodon, Lemmy and so on.

It seems almost as if if you use 3rd party ooen source federated sites, you dont even have to worry about blocking them to begin with.

good point.

Which is why I said you could call me a a dumb consumer. but actually…

in a way, I did wreck them in the specific context of this post, because if I don’t care about the warranty then what other reason do I have to obey their demand to not fix it myself.

edit: they want you to either pay them for repairs, or rely on their warranties, and/or to buy an entirely new device. They hate it when consumer know how to repair and fix their devices themselves. Particularly in the tech industry.

Jokes on them as I don’t care about my warranties, never did. Call me a dumb consumer, but atleast I wrecked the big evil corporation.

edit: I didn’t know about Nintnedo doing this, I just knew about the cheaply made joycons that would drift by deSign after a certain point. The sollution to this was so simple but Nintendo chose not to fix it for the entire Switch’s life spawn.

Leaving it up to 3rd party switch controller manufacturers. Which who knows how long untill they try to ban 3rd party controllers on Nintendo consoles.

What would be a good alternative for Meta to use to user count to prove Threads is succesful?

There was a u.s law passed just a few months ago that makes it illegal in the u.s to talk against Israel.

There are allot of sentences stating what could be antisemitic but it’s not limited to those, and theirs a specific definition it tells people to look at.

However, there are many reasons that add up to why the video may had been removed. I personally don’t think there was exclusively just one specific one reason for the videos removal but a atleast a couple of leading factors.

Some examples of what might add up to why it was removed could be,

1. various countries just this past year introduced various hate speech laws,

2)many countries concluded together and have a more united focus on tackling hateful speech. Trying to keep the world at a peaceful state, especially for minority groups that need these protections.

There are a few others I can’t think of right this second. but all these reasons add up to the final decision for the moderation action of the video takedown.

If only fans is not encrypted, wouldn’t these cops have other ways to detect and tackle csam material?

Assuming it is not encrypted, what’s stopping them from doing their job? Only thing I can think of they could use as an excuse would be, accessing copyrighted materials, especially since it’s under a pay wall.

There was a post about this on lemmy awhile ago, I’m not sure which specific community it was i’m subscribed to a few tech related ones, but it was atleast a week or 2 or more ago about this same story.

I do agree that there should be more workers than 30 on one of the most known encrypted messaging apps.

I know that more kids play video games daily then most adults that work and pay bills, which is besides the point. Most of the time it seems youngers use Discord to communicate then Twiter, when playing games, be regardless of what things might seem.

By removing Twitter from major gaming platforms would make Twitter less relevant to that market which is a lot, over time. It will almost look like Myspace in a sense. (not necessarily that Twitter would be closed down but just that they likely aren’t likely going to be using it even willingly, over something like Discord or Instagram.

I think that by having all major console makers abandoning Twitter, that it will keep Twitter / X away from the majority of the younger generations. (which I think would be a good things for those wanting to protect your kids from the content that’s allowed to free spread on there.)

The idea i’m proposing isn’t to give up on physical media, but to make better physical media with modern technology. Blue ray using disk technology requires a laser disk. But imagine if they made like SD cards, or USB drives that were read only with just the movie on it. (sd cards would be better.) that’s the type of changes i’m looking for, something more modern. More practical for a typical modern day.

They could essentially get rid of the media player to reduce the ewaste (by not needing an extra device just to physically watch a movie) as you mention and make the physical media accessible on devices that support the format like laptops, computers certian smartphones. (Which I didn’t want them to not have their own device as it gives more power to tech giants, but that would aim to address your ewaste concerns.)

Blueray and DVD players are both quite ewaste intensive and do less things for the user then say a PC or smartphone that would do better for the user.

If you think about it, blueray was made when playing ps3 or ps4 quality games on a portable device was a dream to many. It;s a very outdated physical technology. and very desperately needs a physical upgrade. Physical hardware could easily be better but it’s not in the industries interest to innovate in physical media because they all want to essentially be cable tv over again with streaming.

Yes.

While Blueray can do Hd, and maybe even 4k pretty well. Higher video qualities like 8k or 16k might require better hardware. also the fact that blueray still uses disc tech and their not using some kind of mini drive or sd card like drive for movies is also an issue. It shows they hadn’t innovated the formats since basically when blueray came out, (besides some adjustments to the technology as it went on. Also DVDs are slower at loading, why are we still using them instead of something more modern and more energy efficient for the environment?

Sure you do have streaming and cable, but when you think of the film industry, you typically think theatres, DVDs collections. blueray, and really just hasn’t been anything exciting different, or interesting from the industry. everythings just feels the same across the board. What happened to the film industry, and innovation?

Absolutely, VHS is a dead format for some pretty obvious reasons by this day and age.

However the bigger picture I was focusing on was that the industry makes similar actions together and not collectively. While the companies typically work independently, they copy and don’t create as much they don’t tend to do anything impressive like they did even just 8-10 years ago. Nothing is unique except what they happen to own as ip. And a lot of their content is rehash and not much is new from scratch.

Which is why I included the second example which is more modern. Talking about ai companies all chasing ai. But why is it that they all seem to be interested in it, and you have what seems that none of the well known media companies thinking, no we don’t feel we need this and not using it?

I still don’t trust Microsoft. I hadn’t bought a Windows since Windows 10, and this won’t change that.

Good points. I can see a few workarounds for this.

Stop using such services on a copmputer and go back to the old way of banking, going there physically.

Most normal people won’t use Linux, where could they go? Besides Windows? Chromeos? Probally not Google may copy and paste the concept of recall there. Mac os is too expensive, and Linix is complex to install. Where do normies go?

What exactly can recall see? Is it just what’s on screen?

Because, if I’m like most people when I type my password, I keep my passwords hashed on the screen as I type it.
