That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn’t have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

This is soooo fucked. In 20 years the rest of the world will have sanctions on the US for producing too much CO2. If he hates windmills why not invest in other green tech. $1B in gas infrastructure when we’ve already hit 1.5°C of warming is insanity.

Death to America means death to the imperial regime. It does not mean death to the American people. It is not a personal attack on you. It feels like you took it personally and starting throwing transphobic insults. If you want to make the world a better place. You have to do better.

That wasn’t very nice.

Dude you were being extremely transphobic. I actually went and read your convo. You were using the fact that Diva is trans so say some really horrible shit. No wonder she doesn’t want you posting in her comm.

Even if you differ in opinion. You actually do have to be nice to people and you do have to treat everyone with respect.

Yeah having dependents does add another layer of difficulty. Get them involved lol

I think people can part-time disobedience. Of course having a support network would make things easier. Maybe I’m just having trouble imagining.

I do think destroying flock cameras is worthwile. We definitely need more style and I’d argue it’s quite substantial too. For every camera destroyed it drains the budget and limits how many more can be installed.

I can believe that but I think the more important metric is labour hours vs food produced. Less labour and more food means more time for other activities.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

This is where we find ourselves. Destroy flock cameras. Don’t get caught. Support Palestine Action. Don’t get caught. Use what little time is available to fight back. But most importantly, don’t get caught because no one else can afford to save you.

Indeed. I can certainly see the benefits of this type of activity. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea for mental health and a sense of community.

But we had better community in the past and still felt the crushing weight of capitalism. Fighting back means fighting back. Community gardening is the left side of the meme.

Sorry but community gardening as a solution is one of the worst I’ve heard. It’s very hard to achieve the same level of scale and efficiancy that large farms do with these small gardens. For instance, I see no machinery in this picture. Are we really wanting to go back to the days where farming is done by hand?

Sure it’s good for the soul to get together and grow things but as a means to feed society it’s just not viable.

Do you really think a small group of farmers is ungovernable? Peasant farmers have been exploited for pretty much the entire history of humanity!

Ungovernable means civil disobedience, it means sabotage. It does mean building community, but if your community only wants to farm, remember to pay the king after the harvest.

Where? Show me.

Dude wtf are you talking about?? Islam does not call for the death of non believers. You’ve fallen for propaganda. Muslims are not your enemy.

I heard the english version with images sits at around 110GB. Haven’t verified myself though.

Click the link. The video is crazy! 10 minutes of the CEO saying if they want a union they can have a union. 70% of workers want a union.

Extremely disappointing from a non-profit organisation. They’re wasting money by not voluntarily recognising. Fuck Jimmy Wales for hiring union busting lawyers. Need to host it elsewhere!

You are not immune to propaganda. The people of Iran do not want all Christians dead, they do not want all Jews dead. They want peace in the region. The US government and it’s allies make that very difficult.

Iran hates the West because the West has been invading the Middle East for hundreds of years. The crusades were a horrendous time. Muslims and Jews lived fairly peacefully in Palestine before the West sent the WW2 european jewish refugees there and created the state of Israel. They did this to establish a base of influence in the region and further the US imperialist conquest. Maybe Iran wants nukes just so the West will leave it alone. Iran is not the aggressor. You are not immune to propaganda. Neither am I of course, I spent many years thinking the West were the good guys.

Lol spot on! This is exactly how the current economy is working 🙈

I’d be interested in your take on NymVPN. Governence is still a bit opaque but they do provide a novel way to incentivise operators to join the network.

Perhaps in the future we could see a ride share app powered in this way. Operators and drivers paid by an algorithm based on work done. Funded by users paying with a specific coin. With the interchangeability of cryptocoin it wouldn’t matter if there are competing projects. The governance question still remains though.

Does the US need a war with Iran. Does it need to invest so heavily in AI. I’d say no. I’d say that money would be far better spent providing support to the next generation. Or literally anything else. Green tech, healthcare, education are far more worthy causes than tax cuts for the rich.

Ok yeah I see what you mean. Definitely agree about government spending being auditable and public. And obviously wasted taxes are bad. But I’d argue taxes are never wasted on feeding the population, especially children!
