In time the technical knowledge requirements may be reduced. I could see a small company selling pre-setup media servers with a couple TB of storage. Just plug it in, load up your videos and your basically done.

And if you don’t have comments/users, there is little that needs to be maintained.

It’s not perfect, but there will eventually be a point where YouTube becomes so enshitified that people begin to switch to alternatives.

I’ve been slowly working on it for the last year or so. It’s gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.

I thought it was the satanic church that was ghe shenanigans one, not the satanic temple?

This is pretty much what’s happened with my latest character.

I’m playing a reborn/dragonborn, who had previously tried to fight Strahd but lost. And a part of that loss means that my character lost a good chunk of his memories of fighting Strahd before.

But Strahd still remembers my character. So it has lead to some interesting interactions.

Hate ages you like few other things.

At work we get around this by not having docker or anything similar set up in the first place.

I’m getting tired of it lol

That, and the judiciary is usually GOP appointed where it matters.

Yar har

Idk, I feel like some people were still eating pussy under his term, but not the animal.

RCV is definitely an improvement, but approval is better

Not sure, but other alternatives do embrace it. I use FreeTube, and it has a built in function to use DeArrow. I’m loving it so far.

Arguably being spoon fed would be worse for their fragile masculinity. What kind of man gets spoon fed?

Oh I know, I’m right there with you. But I get a level of entertainment out of it.

I’m starting to think we should have all candidates pass a basic leadership and competency challenge to be able to be president. (This is not a series take)

I don’t think the people who are supporters of jury nullification are saying such laws are fine.

From the campaigns I’ve DMed, I’ve gone for a bit of an in-between. My primary focus is to have a fun, shared narrative. I’ll always let players do stupid things that get them into grave danger. But at most, I’ll usually only ever kill a few of the PCs.

If they act carefully, they can avoid getting into that situation all together. If they act stupid, they may have some deaths on their hands, but never a TPK. I don’t want that kind of narrative dead end.

The other thing, is that I will never put the players in such a situation in which there isn’t a way out of it. Usually this comes down to abusing the rule of cool a bit. Maybe they use a well aimed shatter to collapse a cave and separate themselves from their enemies. Maybe they jump down the cliff into the river below. Maybe the enemies have taken such a beating themselves that they find they aren’t willing to fight to the death.

I disagree. Laws aren’t always moral. Texas could outlaw donations to the Rainbow Railroad and it would be wrong, the organization should still exist.

But in this case it is pretty clear that the plagiarism machine is in fact, bad and should not exist, at least not in it’s current form.

They didn’t mention personal stuff

I can’t say I’m familiar with that particular event. But I’m guessing there is a difference there in that iMessage is well, a messaging service. YouTube isn’t, their videos are on public webpages.

All Freetube and company needs to do, if it comes to it, is find a way extract a video from a public webpage. There’s a million ways to do that.

iMessage is not a public webpage, and so there is no real way around it unless you go through their api.

Youtube/google/alphabet are almost certainly aware it exists already. The only real risk is too many people switching to it.

But even then there isn’t much they can do to stop it’s use. They can’t tighten up or remove their api, but then page scraping will take over. They can obfuscation their page, but that will not work forever.

It’s a cat and mouse game that is impossible to win for them.
