Are billionaires as much of a problem in China as they are in the west? I thought they already had way less, and the ones that do exist still have to bend over backwards to appease the CCP.

Because there are way more available games than time for a lot of us

Actually while typing that out I thought more about the technical architecture of such distributed alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, and it does sound like it could be fun to build.

But everyone in the fediverse already knows how difficult/impossible it is to get the average person to switch to open source software. It would most likely be a waste of time.

Because they have all the customers.

If you don’t like the rate the current major platforms give, you could choose to use one of the many alternatives that (presumably) exist.

And if they really don’t, I could build you one in a couple of weekends with all the open source resources and federation protocols available today.

But none of that matters because all the paying customers are on those major platforms. And until you convince users to move off those platforms, you’re basically their bitch. They’ll pay you whatever they happen to feel like paying you.

Like responsibilidade said below, it’s built on top of WireGuard and it’s the best overall VPN solution I’ve ever seen.

Yikes, people here are brutal to people with differing viewpoints, heh.

Doesn’t seem to matter how knowledgeable in the subject matter the person may be either.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Congrats. You won the genetic lottery and was awarded some top tier eyes.

A lot of people were not.

Ooooh. This is exactly what I want, and I want to help you make things better!

I’d like to brainstorm ways of making it opt-in, and making it discoverable without being spammy.

What do you use to coordinate code contributors to your project? Do you have a matrix channel?

PS: I don’t think you need to focus that hard on making it two way. What you’ve implemented so far is already useful. There are some porn subreddits I used to go to when I’m horny, and let me tell you that comments are absolutely not necessary!

Because they don’t know better.

If you have an android phone, you can plug it in via USB and enable USB Internet tethering, which will give you working internet access on your machine to do the Wi-Fi debugging with.

He says so in the readme

Seems to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.7 billion, which due to a quirk of the English language are technicallybillions, making OP technically not wrong ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wouldn’t that attract all the Nazis?

Lol no it wouldn’t. The guy doesn’t want to commit resources to fight this, since it’s a hobby project and this sucked away his motivation to continue.

Unless y’all give him enough money to mount a legal defense, no amount of fancy tech will help.

While not exactly this situation, it has similar vibes to this: https://xkcd.com/538/

In my experience, it’s both. I’m watching a friend of mine go on the apps and she got over 2000 likes (I’m not even exaggerating) in a week. When she sorts through those she first reacts to the main photo, and then looks at their job, and the rest of the profile.

So in order to get matches as a guy, you need to have your life together with a stable job, an interesting personality you can somehow convey in a profile, and good enough looks for that to matter.

It’s because they’re a privately owned company.

The pressure for enshitification mostly comes from shareholders. Without them, the company can actually think about their long term future and decide exactly when and when not to increase profit.

I tend to avoid proprietary things whenever possible these days, but I found most things by small, privately owned companies are pretty good towards their users.

Not if Google’s web DRM thing goes through

They didn’t create Flash. They bought a company called Macromedia who had created Flash.

If they would also investigate Apple for forcing Safari on iOS
