@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well it appears as though #youtube has now become a “gated community” the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you’re not a bot:(

Exciting times!!

There is an option, if you do self-host peertube, to retain the original resolution if no other options are selected. I’m not sure if that avoids transcoding, which I think is what you’re looking for.
@AstaMcCarthy @ckent @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology
This is a very valid point. If you do create content that you intend to share to an audience, it’s quite easy to find an affordable or free instance to simply mirror your content.
Once it’s setup, it will sync automatically with no additional effort, and we can ALL celebrate that we are not feeding the monsters.
It is very much an ethical choice, and I think we can all agree we need to slay those beasts.
@ProdigalFrog
Thanks!!:)
@xnx
A good explainer campaign of how it works practically is essential if it hopes to be adopted for sure. I know a bit, but still not clear on it. At some point credits need to be purchased. And as far as I understand it’s not something that is connected to a bank account.
@ajsadauskas
That’s why #peertube is so important! Everyone should be migrating or at least mirroring there ASAP… It will happen.

Can we follow on #activitypub ? #Castopod would be a great option for the #fediverse
@deadsuperhero
I agree, I use xmpp all the time, but the clients are really underwhelming… Not sure how it’s so complicated to give them a facelift to update them while keeping the existing functionality. This reminds me of the debates about the #blender ui in the past, where gray beards argued that the interface was just fine…aesthetics matter;)
@poVoq
@dillekant that’s the most incredible thing I’ve seen in a long time, thanks for sharing:)
@hoodatninja
You just described the reason yourself;)

Better yet, check out simplex chat https://simplex.chat/
It’s the best of all…user friendly as well:)
@maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.
This could provide a funding model for #FOSS #OpenSource projects that are exploited by the likes of #amazon etc that could and should be supporting them, for the value they bring.
@eliasp @ajsadauskas @urbanism Oh my god, that’s amazing!
@deadsuperhero so glad you are back and I hope a new “generation” will discover what a gem it is for the #fediverse !
@poVoq cool site, thx for sharing!
