@fediforum@mastodon.social thanks for posting to #fedifirst :)

@poVoq cool site, thx for sharing!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well it appears as though #youtube has now become a "gated community" the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you're not a bot:(

@deadsuperhero
FYI

@deadsuperhero
Exciting times!!

There is an option, if you do self-host peertube, to retain the original resolution if no other options are selected. I'm not sure if that avoids transcoding, which I think is what you're looking for.

@AstaMcCarthy @ckent @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology

This is a very valid point. If you do create content that you intend to share to an audience, it's quite easy to find an affordable or free instance to simply mirror your content.

Once it's setup, it will sync automatically with no additional effort, and we can ALL celebrate that we are not feeding the monsters.

It is very much an ethical choice, and I think we can all agree we need to slay those beasts.

That's the beauty of China, they're not dogmatic when it comes to their economy... If it isn't working, they pivot. Unlike here where the current system is considered infallible even if it's crashing and burning.

@ProdigalFrog
Thanks!!:)

@xnx
A good explainer campaign of how it works practically is essential if it hopes to be adopted for sure. I know a bit, but still not clear on it. At some point credits need to be purchased. And as far as I understand it's not something that is connected to a bank account.

@xnx
I really hope some larger #foss projects team up with them for use as a donation platform at some point...the only issue is, where to buy taler w cash🤷‍♂️
@bloup

@yogthos OMG!

@yogthos if only the West could sanction them;) It's not like they've never used the economic card before, FFS

@ajsadauskas
That's why #peertube is so important! Everyone should be migrating or at least mirroring there ASAP... It will happen.

@yogthos "shaka when the walls fell" ;)

@yogthos
This is brilliant!

I've always thought of our current system with it's massive inequality like an engine that is not tuned right.

If a machine is constantly spilling oil and sputtering, it's obviously broken and in need a major repair or rebuild.

How anyone could see money pooling in the hands of a few and leaving the rest dry as a success is unbelievable! It's a clear sign of a broken system.

@deadsuperhero
Can we follow on #activitypub ? #Castopod would be a great option for the #fediverse

@yogthos
Of course Canada voted against it....good lapdog;)

@yogthos That makes sense, while raking in astronomical profits from money made out of thin air!!

@yogthos What a few weeks for Canadian politicians ... Nazi's weren't enough, they needed to add Zionists to the list.
