Cool, I looked into it and yeah, it seems like Beidou is incredibly similar to GPS, so it really shouldn’t matter. GPS seems to be a little more accurate for the average person, but otherwise they’re largely the same.

I assume you’re talking about Kauffman, who is the founder of LBRY, but that relationship ended when LBRY lost a lawsuit and Odysee was acquired. It is decentralized, using arweave for video hosting and a blockchain for video metadata.

The main issue w/ Odysee is its near complete lack of moderation, which allows extremists, conspiracy theorists, and other undesirables to earn money. This is because Odysee gives creators the power to moderate their channels, unlike YouTube where most of that is reserved for the platform itself. Odysee is about as free-speech as you get, and that unfortunately allows less desirable content.

My understanding is that Odysee is essentially what you get if you have P2P (not federated) PeerTube w/ a profit motive.

Is it? I haven’t looked too much into it, I just assumed a newer system would have tracking built-in.

So now I’m even more confused about why Iran would care which system it uses, if both truly are passive.

Agreed. I’m just saying you deserve to live. Whether you do should be your choice, not your doctor’s or your government’s.

I’m guessing they banned it and switched to China’s system to spy on their citizens.

Hey, maybe they use a second ! to improve security immensely.

I need to move mine, my current solution kinda sucks.

If I thought I deserved to live

But you do, everyone deserves to live.

Yup, just like we were going to wait 2 weeks to decide whether to engage with Iran, or get trade deals during the temporary tariff lift. So much trust right now.

People keep saying they want an alternative to YouTube, but then reject every alternative that exists.

Odyssee and other YouTube alternatives tend to host far right content because that content was banned on YouTube, so those creators flocked to the alternative platforms. The sites themselves aren’t exactly encouraging that content, it’s just where people end up due to the loose rules. The best way to fight extremism on an alternative platform is to post less extreme content and drown out the less desirable content.

That’s basically what happened here on Lemmy. At the start, it was mostly tankies and far left extremists, and gradually it became more mainstream as more mainstream leftists ditched Reddit and joined Lemmy.

If you want an alternative to YouTube to succeed, you need to use alternative platforms that already exist.

Would you rather use the same contraction for both? Because “its” for “it is” is an even worse break from proper grammar IMO.

Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

If he really hated Google, wouldn’t he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn’t watch the video because I’m not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

Same, but this isn’t that, so I won’t bother.

Need to throw in a randomizer:

while true; do
    curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time+in+RANDOM+seconds
    sleep 10; done
done

How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?

Can you get by with web access? That’s what I do and it’s fine.

Maybe? It depends on what exactly the app checks for. Some apps don’t work because they check if it’s running on the original ROM. It’s hit or miss.

If you can access what you need through the web, you can go that route instead.

From dark gray to slightly darker gray.
