the sole dev of both of these apps doesn’t think he needs any help and refuses to open source them.

Oof, that sucks. Seems like someone else needs to create an open source alternative app. The platforms themselves are libre software, right? I couldn't find a lot for loops on that, but Pixelfed itself seems to be.

Perfect moment to plug !Peertube@lemmy.world

Growing steadily, and in my opinion, definitely a way to supplement (still far from replace) YT. There's actually some neat content on there by now, from just good to fascinatingly bizarre - but almost always very genuine and authentic. Especially when comparing to some years back, it really has become a proper seed for a platform instead of a novel experiment - but more people interacting with the content and/or supporting the creators would be amazing as the next step.

It's obviously because the internet is so daft, I heard they even upvoted beans.

Oh, neat, I remember borrowing money from friends to buy one shortly after release, and spending many months repaying it. My main thought process, besides it being a cool PC, was "the higher the statistics, the better the outlook for Linux adoption". :D

Can barely believe it's been three years already.

Quite literally, what just happened to me while trying to get myself pumped up to go and vote in 30 mins. (Will still go)

Something good keeps getting better, thank you all for your work!

That's no lie, hence supplement, not replace. But the community can only grow, if people start using it more, even just a little bit in addition to YT where it works for them.

At least from what I've seen, a lot more videos than in the past seem to have transcripts and captions, including automatically generated captions. I recently moved all my old YT videos (mostly German YoutubePoops from the early 2010s) over to peertube.wtf and they had automatic captions generated without input on my end, in English and German both.

That is just wrong, van Aken even explicitly said, that any peace without Ukraine at the table and that gives Russia territory is unacceptable. You may call their methods naïve and ineffectual, but they do not want capitulation, and myths like "NATO is responsible for the war" have also gone away with BSW leaving the party.

Have a look at peertube, it's gotten to a point where it can definitely supplement YT.

"But I voted for Trump, not Musk. If only Trump knew what was going on. Yes, they are taking my farm and deporting my wife, but that's just a mistake. Okay, it wasn't a mistake, but I am ready to suffer, for my king president and country. Okay, that country is going down the shitter, but that's because the migrants and left sabotaged my emperor!"

Definitely, here's hoping the accountability question will prevent that, but the incentive is there, especially in systems with for-profit healthcare.

The US is almost 250 years old by now, but your point still holds true.

Even if it were to do pattern recognition as well as or slightly worse than a human, it's still worthwhile. As the article points out: It's basically a non-tiring, always-ready second opinion. That alone helps a lot.

Ah, to me, it is important to consider where it comes to the US foreign policy going forward in their era of fascism. I live in the EU, and I guess that was the foremost issue on my own mind. And I am not expecting something like a Russia-US-alliance myself, because of that lack of mutual loyalty. Only cooperation of convenience.

Was there a contradiction? Point is, there is no loyalty beyond that. If the favours for Russia were to no longer serve his own, personal interests (or at least, for as long as he believes them to do so, let's not forget he is also very much fallible), he'd not support them. There is no ideological solidarity, or alliance or higher loyalty is what I was getting at. Just his belief that the world is fundamentally strong people preying on and using the weak, and that he thinks that he can cooperate with Putin on that - conditionally.

There's always people that need reminding, like, I am sure there's at least some people thinking Trump has some sort of higher loyalty towards Russia besides agreeing with their new world order of every country acting as "fuck you, got mine"-imperialists.

Oh, thanks for the info, that is great to know!

As far as I know, from when this was discussed after the first Reddit exodus, only commenting and posting makes you an active user. So the number is somewhat deceivingly small, as the vast majority on platforms like this are lurkers who maybe post/comment every once in a while at most.

Wait until you learn about the even bigger ones:
