Thanks, hope peertube takes off

B.O. and sadge.

They allowed the dumbest of us all to have their dumb insurrection for the dumbest reasons in a very public way. I wonder why.

Interested in a Adam Curtis video on the merger of psychology, marketing, and politics?

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."

I just posted it in my Matrix server where I am the sole member because no one wants to use it yet.

Please let me drag my Chat rooms into the order I want pleaseeee

Tragedy what happened to this hero.

We have always been a shameful nation, even from the beginning.

“All men are created equal”

is slave state

But what happened to Snowden was a modern reaffirmation of our long held belief that this is a nation not only created by the shitters, but also maintained for the new and improved generation of shitters.

Nitro is right there… and yet… these changes happened.

Why can’t I click and drag rooms into the position I want them?

Ended up switching to alphabetical and numbering the rooms.

Matrix is rough, but it can be the future. Revolt seemed more complete for the time being.

I don’t think paying will solve anything. Some genius will one day just think “but what if we just charged more. But what if we made our service worse so they pay more to restore it. But what if we just merge with even shittier people so they can do all this shitty stuff.”

It’s never enough, it will never be enough. It’s self hosted and open source or barbarism.

True, I am safest alone in my dank basement

Why don’t public libraries host things for the people for free as a public service?

The problem is the next place is a moving target. Enshitification is inevitable, the drive for money will eventually corrupt any good thing we make.

What we need is a platform owned by a public trust or a worker co-op made up of all the streamers. Hopefully roll out some micro direct payment system so you can give the content creators a bigger portion of the donations.
