Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we’re talking about two different things.

FediDB says it’s located in US.

I think you’re missing Lemmy.world.
Easily the biggest, and US based.

It’s the original instance, run by the main Lemmy creators.

The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn’t nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

The most profitable league in all of sports…
Is being killed?

I don’t think that means what they think it means.

I think I prefer eXcretions

Basically, RSS as you said, is a one way street. There is no feedback. It’s not so much communication, but broadcasting.

It doesn’t help any one else unfortunately.
But I subscribed to Google Play Music All Access during the original promo in 2013. Part of $7.99 promo deal way back then, was that it was a Lifetime Subscription. Even after raising the price on all the 2014 YouTube Red promo users at the beginning of 2024, I’m still locked in at $7.99. I’ve de-Googled nearly everything else, but I’ll hold on to that subscription till I die, or YouTube does.

If there aren’t workers, there is no need for unions.

But that doesn’t happen anyway.
UBI doesn’t replace work. People still work. Pilot programs and tests show, people might work less overtime, or call out when sick more, so they can go to a doctor, spend more time home with a new baby, and stay in school longer gaining higher degrees. But they don’t quit their jobs. So there will still be plenty of workers to join unions.

How does it take leverage from unions?
It would effectively be a permanent strike fund.
Wouldn’t that help unions?

It’s also not so much “taking” power, as it’s not giving power you feel is your right.
Which, is the same kind of thinking that let’s copyright holders claim every count of piracy is theft of money they never actually had.

What about copyrighted code?
Like for instance, GPU drivers?

An LLM database builder.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

None of the major Fediverse projects have real monetization.
Why single out PeerTube?

Why would you expect monetization at this point?

Do you think it should be monetized, or are you just surprised it hasn’t been?

What form of monetization are you imagining?

You’re not alone.

On a good large screen, 1080p is a noticeable upgrade from 720p.
But the distance you’d have to sit at, to get much out of 2160p over 1080p, is just way too close.
However the High Dynamic Range that comes with 4K formats and releases IS a big difference.

On the other hand, storage is pretty cheep. A couple cents per GB really.
But you’re talking more about bandwidth, which can be expensive.

But yeah. You’re not alone.

That was the original idea behind Hulu.
But Netflix had a much better UX and ate their lunch.

Gratis versus libre

I was an avid Usenet user, until torrents were invented.
I’ve never needed to go back.

When they start getting lawyers involved. That’s how you know when it genuinely leaked, and wasn’t part of the publicity plan.

My bookmark goes directly to the subscription page. I never see the home page algorithm
