Peertube as you said is the closest equivalent as a video distributor. Technically a similar approach to Peertube would work by using both Torrents and Instance data storage. Now what makes Tik Tok so popular is its algorithm, which mind you, is a tiny wee bit manipulative. In future, Peer Tube might implement something like dedicated sections for vertical videos. But without a significant cultural shift, I'm not seeing an effective Tik Tok clone appear without a lot of noses being turned up.
Without any ratings for customer satisfaction. I might as well sack the entire support staff, don't bother with AI and I'll get a answered query to F off in 0 minutes and 100% savings.
I personally find it mildly amusing that picture 1 includes a post of Lemmyverse's largest Instance announcing it was hacked.
(I know it's true and it's a good thing that the announcement happened. But still...)
Anyways, with that out of the way. It could be an interesting browser flow, hope people like it!
While I'm not experienced enough to explain the full development stack of an OS. Let me throw my two cents.
It typically goes by writing changes. If its superficial ones, like modern UI in Windows 11, then all they need to do is relaunch explorer/the app etc. Every time they make a change in the code, they then build and try it out.
If its a more internal change, deep into the OS. Typically written in C or another low level language. Then its easier to test the changes in a virtual machine, you write your code, compile, build. And then load it up in the virtual machine to see if the OS doesn't crash and burn.
Later, after it gets past quality control in the company, (but most often these versions sit in beta for a while to catch problems). It then gets put into the Update servers and rolled out in bulk for mass destribution.
Do note, updates don't need to include the entire OS. Just packages including the file changes as well as general update busywork.
PS: If anyone replies, feel free to correct me. Details may be sketchy but this is the short of it.
Absolutely peeved that according to laws: Libraries in a digital format literally cannot exist without being illegal. Archive.org only managed to exist as a Library because they enforced DRM which limited available rentals to the books they "bought" and had copies of.
This is because physical Libraries allow you to borrow their own copies, thus you can even read copyrighted material without asking for permission from the rights holder. So they could argue in court that the DRM only emulated the real thing.
Come COVID and they decide to be nice to people by temporarily stripping the rental bullocks. Their reward for a good deed is a sledgehammer to the stomach.
It matters not, books shall be, and remain forever free (For those that need them). One way or another. All I know is that I'll never buy a book if I'm treated as a criminal.
