The ‘South Park’ creators have brought on bulldog negotiator Bryan Freedman to turn up the heat.

I do like the idea of a P2P system. I used to be on ZeroNet but there were just too few people and too little content to stick with it. I hope something like this takes off.

Ah, practising the deeply held moral principle of “I’m alright, Jack”.

So AI is just three Netflix executives in a trench coat?

And TIL of the Beachy Amish, who absolutely do not go around on horsedrawn surfboards with Annette Funicello.

Basically, yes. EEE is a strategy developed by a dominant company whose revenue stream came from paid proprietary software and services but which embraced open standards with the goal of vanquishing the threat to their business model posed by that openness and maintaining/recovering their proprietary domination.

Does ActivityPub being open and used by many different projects & organizations pose a threat to Piefed’s business model? Is Piefed a powerful company that built that power on a proprietary model and seeks to preserve that power by embracing, extending, and extinguishing ActivityPub? With the goal of maintaining/recovering proprietary domination?

No. So it ain’t EEE.

I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

Me, too.

KDE Connect

I’ve used it a lot just to control audio or video playing on my computer from my phone. (Sometimes when I’m sat at my computer with multiple windows and workspaces open, I even find it easier just to hit my phone’s lockscreen to pause the music.)

I’m starting to use some of its other features, too. E.g. copying & pasting and sharing files between phone and computer.

There’s more too I need to explore.

(Unfortunately, sometimes I get a ‘device unreachable’ error when both devices clearly have a working connection to the same router.)

Upvoted for FreeTube.

What do you use to send YouTube links to FreeTube? Personally I’m using LibRedirect https://libredirect.github.io/

I disagree.

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

My software chops begin and end with: 10 PRINT “HELLO, WORLD” 20 GOTO 10

Good to hear devs are working on it.

Thanks for the info.

In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for ‘elena rossini’, compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn’t include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.

???

Saw your reply, tried new search: “Introducing the Fediverse”… 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched… and it works! (Although… how did you get it? I can’t see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!

Also, tried searching for “fedifuture@videos.elenarossini.com”

• a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
• finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)… but no videos… not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I’m on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name… no videos.

???

So, there’s a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video… if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance’s search bar.

Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).

A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.
