Try replacing the batteries. That’s often the reason for this type of thing.

Cool! I’m glad you appreciate the post and I hope you like it. Hell yeah for using your library card to stream it. Hoopla must be similar to Kanopy in that regard. Feel free to let us know what you think!

“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.

Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:

As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:

Private posts from public accounts

Posts on deleted or suspended accounts

Unanswered asks

Private answers

Explicit posts

Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.) 

One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.

From Wikipedia:

In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.

Thank you. And those are only the confirmed dead. There are thousands more missing and presumably dead under the rubble.

You’re grasping at straws to try to invalidate me instead of saying anything that would back up your point making your argument weaker. There was no repetition from me so if you’ve heard this before it would seem you’ve had this discussion before and may benefit from listening. Perhaps you shouldn’t respond if you have nothing to say

A better example of a pogrom might be the killing of over 30,000 civilian Palestinians and simultaneously starving them to death with blockade following 75 years of occupation and a century of colonialism. Proportionality matters and it doesn’t favor your argument

One need not pretend something that is already factually accurate. This was a retaliation and direct response for Israel bombing Iran’s consulate in Syria on April 1. This is why Iran targeted and struck the Negev air force base ( which contains US F-35s used to bomb Gaza ) as that is the base from which that attack originated. This is also why Iran says it now considers the matter “concluded” and warned the US and Israel against further reprisals. Those are facts and not “pretending” so if you are going to “pretend” this isn’t true and try to distort the matter I’m not interested.

The best part is the UN charter clearly states that when a country is attacked, it has aright to self defense. Let’s watch Israel talk their way around that as they vindicate Iran and incriminate themselves.

It’s all worth it if it means having this image grace the Fediverse.

This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3

If you are posting on walled-garden big tech site like Reddit, Instagram, Twitter / X, the site and therefore the company certainly owns your content and all the metadata attributed to it. You’re the product. This is why most of us are here on the Fediverse where things are different. Maybe if it’s your personal photo you took than you can make a copyright claim to some degree and download your data tediously but once it’s on their network it’s generally theirs to do as they please, whether that be sell to Google or any other advertiser or use on in-house advertising. Often without proper informed consent and not always legally. It’s definitely a scam, I agree. Hopefully this exposes it more and brings more people to places on the Fediverse where there’s no owner/seller/buyer of your data or anything else you contributed.

So it’s user generated content that is a product for Reddit to sell, like most big tech companies do, as I said.

Welcome!

It’s content that Reddit users generated which apparently is theirs to sell.

That’s definitely not the type of stuff I’d like to discover there. Decentralization is great but not if it just means hyper localization to the point that it’s hard to see content from other instances. It seems like the development of Peertube has gotten pretty stagnant, especially compared to other platforms on the Fediverse. A few years ago it ranked just behind Mastodon in monthly active users . Since then the Fediverse has gotten much more active and the developers of Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy have all adjusted to it and made advances in their software, overtaking Peertube in Monthly Active Users. Hopefully the developers at Peertube can make some similar adjustments to bring in more users and more content.
