Exquisite! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah that’s the killer. Just not enough content yet. I think it’s cause video hosting is expensive. My hope is that individual youtubers start hosting their own peertube instances. But they’d never do that because they’d lose money.

If peertube could get functionality which would allow creators to hide videos behind a subcription which could be paid in fiat/crypto that would be a game changer. Easy to donate to your favourite creators while keeping federation.

Maybe one day.

Defo would recommend changing your email though. Takes a while to do all your accounts but once it’s done you’re free! Feels good.

Horrendous. Thanks.

There have always been threats yes, but nothing like this. On our current trajectory, billions will die by the end of the century. The impacts of climate change will reshape our global society. Never in history has there been a threat so severe.

History never had the threat of a warming climate. A child starting school now will finish high school in what, 2038? We’ll be above 2 degrees warming by then. They’re in for a rough ride.

Oh no! This happened to me too! Is this a coordinated attack? 😱

That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn’t have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

Trump will get “assassinated” by “Iran” soon. JD Vance will take the helm, declare a national emergency, suspend midterms and go full boots on ground invasion of the middle East.

Maybe a bit too much tinfoil in my hat but this is the craziest timeline lol

Yeah having dependents does add another layer of difficulty. Get them involved lol

I think people can part-time disobedience. Of course having a support network would make things easier. Maybe I’m just having trouble imagining.

I do think destroying flock cameras is worthwile. We definitely need more style and I’d argue it’s quite substantial too. For every camera destroyed it drains the budget and limits how many more can be installed.

I can believe that but I think the more important metric is labour hours vs food produced. Less labour and more food means more time for other activities.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

This is where we find ourselves. Destroy flock cameras. Don’t get caught. Support Palestine Action. Don’t get caught. Use what little time is available to fight back. But most importantly, don’t get caught because no one else can afford to save you.

Indeed. I can certainly see the benefits of this type of activity. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea for mental health and a sense of community.

But we had better community in the past and still felt the crushing weight of capitalism. Fighting back means fighting back. Community gardening is the left side of the meme.

Sorry but community gardening as a solution is one of the worst I’ve heard. It’s very hard to achieve the same level of scale and efficiancy that large farms do with these small gardens. For instance, I see no machinery in this picture. Are we really wanting to go back to the days where farming is done by hand?

Sure it’s good for the soul to get together and grow things but as a means to feed society it’s just not viable.

Do you really think a small group of farmers is ungovernable? Peasant farmers have been exploited for pretty much the entire history of humanity!

Ungovernable means civil disobedience, it means sabotage. It does mean building community, but if your community only wants to farm, remember to pay the king after the harvest.

Legend!

Lol spot on! This is exactly how the current economy is working 🙈

I’d be interested in your take on NymVPN. Governence is still a bit opaque but they do provide a novel way to incentivise operators to join the network.

Perhaps in the future we could see a ride share app powered in this way. Operators and drivers paid by an algorithm based on work done. Funded by users paying with a specific coin. With the interchangeability of cryptocoin it wouldn’t matter if there are competing projects. The governance question still remains though.

Would highly recommand getting cursed by the bio spoiler! Long watch but incredibly informative. You are not immune to propaganda.

Of course you would. I probably would too. It’s life changing money. But the morality of these ‘challenges’ is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮

It is! Living in Gaza sounds hellish. Unfortunately the people that made this decision live somewhere close to heaven.

Thanks, that’s a great point about IVPN and Gibraltar. They do have a warren canary but I’ve heard those are bullshit too. The question is, are they compromised already or not.

I only bought a month of time so maybe i’ll move to Nym. They have decentralized servers and have mixnet functionally which seems a safer bet.
