I’m sorry for anybody living in the US right now. The only hope is that it will get better, in the far future, when all those billionaires will have transported themselves to Mars. Then you may find some peace, I guess.

There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

The nazis, too, had a lot of power and yet they lost WW II.

it’s called the Paradox Of Tolerance.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

in other words, an asshole

Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.

I was going to upvote but then:

Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)

Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

Why aren’t universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

Because that would be socialism, obviously!

Competition is good!

I wonder when AI “competition” will crush the free market.

yeah but you could do that with one big company just as well. that has nothing to do with them splitting up

I’m pretty sure that it would be practically impossible to prove in practice that it’s fraud and illegal.

what if a company decides to split up into 100 smaller companies to avoid taxation?

To me personally, settling mars has nothing to do with colonialism, or capitalism, or hookers and blackjack. It’s about the fact that humanity is like a steam engine, and somebody threw too much coal into that thing. Now it’s cooking hot, and one way to keep it from exploding is to “release steam” (in a metaphorical sense). That means, settling off to some other planet.

I guess it’s like german “Realität”/“Wirklichkeit” (both meaning reality).

I understand “Realität” (reality) to mean something “real”, like something touchable. Language, and literature are not “real” to me. They’re “wirklich”, but not “real”.

they lasted 3 years, which is about 12x longer than i would have guessed.

“si” (italian yes) too much:

If you say si too much, you become a sisi.
