  • That's insightful. Never thought about that.

  • It seems pretty common. I used to hear stories like this from Lyft drivers all the time. You'd think police would have access to more accurate records.

  • There may have been a relative increase in the numbers of creators on YT after monetization was introduced, but it wasn't on a scale that one person could perceive. Even before monetization, there was more content, of every type and subject, than one person could possibly ever watch. Videos starting to look slick and professional was the most visible result, but I don't feel that this corresponded to an increase in quality. Professional Youtubers post constantly, even when they have nothing to say, to stay visible. Because Peertube's space and bandwidth are paid for by server owners, who are mostly average individuals, I think it would be bad for them to attract that type of creator.

  • YT became popular before monatization existed. It was a hobby and a form of socialization for many people. I'd rather see Peertube be that than what YT has become. Monatization is what ruined it, imo.

  • Same thing the guy who delivers my pizza says when he's taking my food to someone halfway down the block.

  • Who is there for progressives to vote for that will represent their views? People whose interests aren't represented by any candidate not voting for any candidate is entirely predictable.

  • I use it for the encryption and IP hiding just to make casual surveillance more difficult, more than trying to be 100% anonymous. If I can't use a site with Tor, I'll add an exception for it if it's something I really need. Otherwise, I find an alternative for whatever I was trying to do, and I don't really care.

  • To me, this suggests that if you're diagnosed with autism, they'll scrutinize your lab, pharmacy & smart watch records.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • I agree. I had frequent problems when I used it, which could take days to figure out, and even then might only be solved by a full reinstall. Linux has had significantly fewer problems for me, and those problems are solved much more easily. My bf is a huge Windows fan, but it seems like he's struggling with some problem he can't figure out every other month. Half a drive left as unallocated space instead of being included in a partition, causing constant "disk full" messages, was the most recent issue. On top of bad updates. I don't bother suggesting he switch, because I know he's happy with it, but Windowt definitely isn't problem-free.

  • Alaska is an interesting place, politically. Last I knew, the major parties there were Libertarian Republicans and the Green Party. I'm not surprised they have a different voting system.

  • I distanced myself from her after college. Her behavior was unacceptable in a lot of ways, and she wasn't willing to change. Thanks for the kind words.

  • I use Librewolf +uBlock Origin + uMatrix + tor proxy. Javascript, XHR & 3rd party anything turned off. If some sites don't work, it's doing its job.

  • No reason to assume that. Outside of big cities, many businesses don't even have an online existence.
