You owe me years of life.

Best I can do is an upvote and a hearty thank you.

Thank you!

Animated GIF from Pink Floyd's The Wall showing people walking into a meat grinder

I don't think providing more meat for the grinder will suddenly make anyone change their minds on the subject.

They probably thought you were me, I got blocked above for making a similar point that you'd also made (although I think you did a better job of making the point).

Apparently pointing out that Peertube still has quite a way to go to meet YouTube's feature set just shows incompetence.

Edit: I actually checked out their profile and we are lucky to have been blocked by them. Everything they post is either pompous, argumentative, dismissive, or some combination.

They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what's already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else's server is going to very quickly make that server go away.

And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.

And who is going to pay for the bandwidth and storage space on those peertube instances?

I mean, I too want to get away from YouTube, but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

Wasn't that with the old administration?

We have a safe at work where we keep backups and 'legal hold' stuff. We hardly ever need to get into it. The first audit we had after I started and the guy who had been running things walks up to the safe and just opens it... without entering the code. The auditor looks at me, and I look at my employee and ask him if the safe is broken, and he said "No, I put the code in earlier so it would be easier to open for the audit."

Needless to say, we got dinged on that part of the audit.

You’re out in nature while helping to clean up

You're out in nature... IN AUSTRALIA! He's risking his life being out in nature picking up garbage.

I think what they mean is that, technically, Musk has a mind.

...but it's always at least entertaining.

Careful, that's how I used to hear Joe Rogan described.

 

From the article: The Open Data Institute that I co- founded in London has taken on the challenge of international co- ordination for a new standard that gives users control over their own data. It is called Solid (for social linked data) and the technical details are controlled by W3C, the web standards consortium. Solid seeks to decentralise the web. The platform can be used to build new applications that request access to user data. This data is stored in such a way that users have complete control over it.

Oh no, his people will keep their jobs. He isn't getting rid of it, he's just firing anyone who does anything, and his people will come in and get paid to do nothing. It's very likely that he can't just do away with it, but he can just fire the people working there.

"We don’t like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much."

I want to know what he heard and saw about vaccines, and where he heard and saw it.

I think a lot of the issues in these extremely conservative communities is due to them being unable to rectify the contradictions between religious beliefs and the scientific method.
