For small-scale stuff like that it will surely work. It’s unclear if it scales to youtube volumes. Maybe it doesn’t have to though, small scale stuff is valuable too.

Hosting video requires a lot more resources than hosting text, hyperlinks, or even pictures. It might be too much for individuals to self host video on a scale that could even distantly resemble how we use youtube today.

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller. IIRC Peertube does do some p2p stuff to try and share the burden a bit but I’ve also heard that it’s not really feasible to rely on that to scale.

I truly do not understand this... it's a niche QA forum

What's their motivation to do this?

stealing food from the grocery store

yeah that is definitely the core of the problem

I have it installed on a few of my machines but don't really find it that useful. But then again that's specific to my needs and usecases.

Potentially unpopular opinion: a bunch of rust replacements for the common terminal utilities: eza, bat, dust, fd, helix. Also fish and nushell, yt-dlp, and some of my favorite programming languages.

I might be the only person who prefers the original

People are very reluctant to admit they're wrong in general. If you then have an emotional connection to the topic, even more so.

elementary os in 2016. I still use eos on my desktop machine, mainly because it's kinda ubuntu but not quite. Running Fedora on one of my laptops, the rest are running macos

Do you still have native-level pronunciation and grammar skills in Cantonese? Forgetting words is one thing, that happens, and words can be relearned. I've lived abroad for 5 years now in my 20s, and even I've lost some vocabulary in my native language.

If you no longer know the grammar or the pronunciation well, then it's a more legitimate question if it is your native language anymore.

Either way, you are some sort of bilingual. In fact, some people grow up like that where I come from: with two native languages, one of which is oftentimes stronger / more eloquent due to education, social life, etc.

Pitkällä jänteellä ammattiliittojen aseman heikentämisellä on vahvoja negatiivisia vaikutuksia. Yhdysvalloista voi katsoa mallia, siellä liitoilla oli 60-70-luvuilla vielä suht merkittävä asema, ja sen myötä työntekijöiden oikeudet olivat ihan kohtalaiset. Sittemmin liittojen alasajo on johtanut työntekijöiden oikeuksien radikaaliin huonontumiseen.

insane

This made me look up "whole word reading", and it just made me irrationally angry. To be fair, English isn't my native language and I don't have a recollection of learning how to read, but "whole word learning" sounds insane. But like... Why would you do that if you are using an alphabet?

Immune to marketing? Or unable to be sold

Nepotism is usually restricted to familial relations by definition, but networking can work in a very similar way sometimes. I.e. lead to unjustified hiring decisions. I guess the more relevant questions are: was it fair and are you qualified to do the job in practice? Instead of whether it technically falls under nepotism.

An exponent between 1 and 2 would be better than either.

Sounds uniquely american. Is it?
