No. You just don’t understand the impact of cryptocurrency beyond what you’ve seen scammers push.

I’m going to ignore you now. Goodbye.

That’s fine.

Nobody is forcing you to do it.

Not really.

A lot of coins are scams, yes. But the concept of cryptocurrency has very valid uses in replacing the current fiat system perpetuated by governments.

If you look at the cryptocurrencies, they all go up and down with each other.

Really puts into perspective how far-reaching the investor class actually is.

It’s funny though, because to them, all those “nerd” coins might as well be the same.

That’s just the nature of the internet.

I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to block you now.

I’ve seen too much incompetence on your part, and I need to stop validating it with responses.

Goodbye.

Does this mean users won’t be able to see videos hosted on other platforms from your instance?

Gonna have to ignore you, bud.

Arguing with incompetent people such as yourself is a waste of effort.

Goodbye.

I don’t think that’s true.

It’s my understanding that by federating, you are duplicating the data from the servers you federate with on your own.

The people who set up the instances usually also are responsible for paying to keep them active.

but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

I mean, they’re already there. Have you tried using Peertube?

AMD still makes shitty GPUs for an egregious price.

They essentially use Nvidia’s scumbaggery as an excuse to be “slightly less scumbagish.”

Their GPU division never had a “Ryzen” moment, and it doesn’t look like they ever will.

They just don’t care.

Yeah, once I moved permanently to piracy I’ve noticed I actually have way more games than I know what to do with.

I still haven’t finished BOTW, and there’s also TOTK to play after that. I also haven’t played Skyward Sword ever and I replayed WW and Twilight Princess in the meantime.

Really, I can’t fathom getting excited for digital media at this point. There’s so much to enjoy, I genuinely believe that any sort of “hype” is just consumerism taking hold of unsuspecting individuals.

Everyone should just move to piracy anyways.

Products cost what we’re willing to pay, not what they cost to produce.

The fact so many people are willing to pay for things they can get for free (while complaining they don’t have enough money) is just another reason why things are the way they are. We’ve been conditioned to be proud of our consumerism at any cost.

I haven’t bought a game in years. I don’t own a switch, but I get to play the games for it I want.

At some point, I realized “supporting the devs” was just rhetoric for useful idiots. Most of the money goes to their landlords and delivery apps, anyways.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, people. Don’t let consumers on the internet convince you to spend money on things you could be getting for free.

Use your brains before your wallets.

This should be the norm.

True.

Peertube has been hamstrung by a very poorly-made design decision early on.

It’s my understanding that peertube copies all of the content from hosts it federates with. That’s a huge waste of storage and the main reason why most peertube instances hardly federate with anything.

Instead, peertube developers should implement the option for servers to duplicate data, or simply load the data through a link to a server that hosts it.

It’s still young and they’ve done a pretty good job with everything except this fundamental flaw. Hopefully if enough people hear about this idea and promote it, we can see it implemented and then Peertube can really take off.

Wrong.

We really should be working together to upload content from youtube to peertube instances.

Don’t ask for permission. Just do it. Civilly disobey.

Good.

Let people say what they want and you can ignore them if you don’t like what’s being said.

Err… does this mean we can get a Mozilla or Thunderbird email address?

See, it’s that kind of panic that causes people like you to flock to your abusers again and again.

I’m done supporting my abusers. You should be, too. Then we can actually start solving problems instead of just losing slower.
