  • Influencers are pitching in

    Jump

  • This person earning money by using the buy European platform is akin to Greenwashing, as mentioned for buy European. As for purity-testing, how many "influencers" is too many for something like this? What are they influencing mostly, the usage of YouTube to make money or the fact that they don't use the alternatives that they are supposedly promoting? I've not checked, but does this influencer have any accounts on the European alternatives? Social media or video hosting sites? If not, then this is self promotion more than promoting the movement, or whatever you choose to call it.

    Why doesn't she start the video pointing to the alternative video sites that the video is also posted on, and save some viewers from the privacy issues that come with the big tech sites?

  • I've no problem with letting people watch what they like, but as she's obviously getting paid by YouTube as an influencer, I'm pretty sure this is just the 'buy European' version of Greenwashing.

  • I don't disagree, but literally looking for followers on one of the biggest platforms owned by one of the 'bigtech' biggest tech, as an "influencer" kinda defeats the whole purpose. Also, she's not 'starting a movement'.

    Relying on people to go to YouTube to watch the video that more than likely just points at things already written and linked to on the sites that have already gained a massive following without YouTube is not unnecessary, but it is unneeded.

  • I don't want them to, but I don't get why Microsoft don't just roll out updates the way Android/Linux do. Free. They've already adopted the Google method of moneymaking by embedding spyware into everything in the OS. Surely they could stop most of their headaches by doing that? Not that I care. Linux user here for roughly 16 years, sometimes having to go back to Windows hurts. It hurt a lot recently, having to dig out an old windows laptop to ironically install Ubuntu touch on to a phone (OnePlus Nord N10). I had tons of updates and had to install features and so much other stuff just to use it. 🤕

  • Thanks. Handy to know that I can just ignore that message. Although it means I can't see what I upload in voyager...

  • Trustpilot alternatives

    Jump

  • Well blow my socks off with a shotgun. I misread alternativeto. But my statement about them still stands. They are no longer trustworthy imo, and they have been using nasty tactics to force businesses to pay them. Also, we need more options so that reviews can be double and triple checked.

  • Musk threatens to primary members of Congress who vote for Trump's megabill

  • Thank you. Every time I think the US election system couldn't be any more open to corruption, I'm proven wrong. Learning something new every day.

  • Musk threatens to primary members of Congress who vote for Trump's megabill

    Jump

  • Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? He threatens to 'primary' members of Congress?

    I've tried searching, and that wasn't much help, employees of said member are to quickly start looking for another job. Something happens at the end of term.. And a Time magazine article, which was beyond useless in explaining what it is.

    I'm none the wiser.. 🤷

  • Death to the IDF chant at Glastonbury music festival broadcast live on the BBC

  • Imagine having to "investigate" somebody for what they said loud and clear on stage on air, viewed by millions. What they really mean is that they are looking into whether or not they can cause sufficient outrage against Bob Vylan to arrest them for speaking out against a violent regime, and vocalising to end their army wing that is terrorising an entire country and killing thousands of innocent people.

    The scary thing is, as if we hadn't already known, it shows how much they rely on that data.
