If you shoplift from a small mom & pop store, you’re actively hurting your community

Unless you’re part of a riot, then it’s okay.

You’re gonna have a boring convo on a chat app with a random stranger. You’re both interested in each other, just ask to meet up. Do something interesting together and the conversation will flow naturally.

the “little guy” he meant are small tech companies

That changes nothing.

LOL

Must be nice to exploit LGBTQ people to support literally any argument imaginable.

You’re right, he did, but my point stands regardless.

The point was that you’re claiming to do research on something just to turn around and say something that WILDLY wrong

I claimed to do research on something very specific. If you have evidence to the contrary, please feel free to prove me wrong instead of just intentionally misrepresenting my statement.

Doesn’t matter if you say simultaneously or not.

…of course it does? A thousand simultaneous streams is not going to have the same load as a dozen…

the instantiation of a session for a torrent is LONG. Like 5s+ long

That’s weird because it works instantly for me.

Buddy, do you not know how periods work? That’s 2 different sentences you’ve mashed together and pretended they were one.

Secondly, I didn’t say simultaneously.

It will scale just fine, so long as the ratio of instances:users is similar.

The current ratio of consumers:creators on youtube is 41:1, by my research. A single server of sufficient power could easily serve thousands of users.

It is a Facebook alternative

Yes, alternative. Why would you want an alternative? Because you’re unhappy with it.

You can still see the public feed as of speaking, but you have to go to instance.address/community to see it.

That’s great except there’s no way to know that by the home page.

PeerTube uses WebTorrent technology. Each server hosts a torrent tracker and each web browser viewing a video also shares it. This allows to share the load between the server itself and the clients as well as the bandwidth used through P2P technology.

I mean on the list of reasons not to use Google, I feel like this one is pretty low.

Maybe he should have just left Trump’s name out of it entirely as that seems to be what really pushed people’s buttons.

It probably didn’t help, but no, I don’t think that was it. I think it was his sweeping generalizations about dems/republicans as a whole, along with the insinuation that dems were bought, republicans are “looking out for the little guys”, and the election undermined the will of the people:

Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

No, it’s the goal of apps that want to serve as many advertisements as humanly possible. Most dating apps don’t have any way to monetize your attention.

Would be totally cool if I wasn’t completely certain that they would use that against me.

Would you rather see 5 or 6 women that all expressed interest in you or a thousand women who have never and probably will never even see you? Open the app, swipe 5 or 6 times, move on with your life.

Who wants men spending hours on the app and why? Most of these are subscription-based, not ad-supported.

Yes, that’s the idea. They wouldn’t see anyone who hasn’t already liked them.

If your bar for a good site is “it’s as good as Facebook”, you should raise your standards.
