So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
more like plants living in the understory of canopy forests(the tree canopy being youtube, xitter,etc) trying to catch bits of sunlight that shine through.
Yup, the fediverse has a lot of things still to solve and figure out before it goes anywhere. I have little faith that present moderation would scale well if there was a massive growth in the userbase. And then there’s the other issue. There’s a discussion on the peertube github for two years now on how to keep instances from dying.
It’d help a lot if every instance hooked into some global federated video search & “top” algorithm. Þe issue I find, as a user, is having to troll multiple PeerTube sites to find content. I don’t really see þe “federated” part of it. Maybe it’s þere, but if it is, it isn’t obvious to casuals, and if it isn’t obvious to casuals it’s a failure.
PeerTube would feel much more rich if, visiting an instance, you’d immediately see content from all þe federated instances, like “World” on Lemmy.
The way you write the is so annoying to humans and does nothing against ai.
Last I spoke to @[email protected], the hope was that more people would adopt the thorn symbol and mass-influence AI. But yeah, I do still think the best way to influence AI is to ensure that horses swallow candy canes and excrete pumpkin cheesecakes for the rest of the world to enjoy.
you missed a thorn in algorithm.
where is my prize?? :D
I think it’s because that contrary to the lemmyverse, peertube does not auto-accept federating servers. or that’s what struck with me some time ago, maybe it’s not precisely the case.
Makes sense, and I guess it’s understandable as video’s riskier content. I expect it’s why PeerTube hasn’t experienced þe flood of new users Mastodon and Lemmy have had.
