How are PeerTube instances funded? I’d imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

True, but in order to make it a healthy viable alternative to centralised platforms then there needs to be a financial incentive for creators to use peertube. I guess any creators who give a shit about this kind of thing could upload their content to both platforms, but doing so could have an impact on their YouTube earnings.

Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

It was also a novelty as it as very new, but the quality of content being put out now is significantly higher than it was in 2005.

I’m going to start looking for a new phone soon to replace my OnePlus 6T, and the 13 looks so good, except for the fact it’s absurdly huge. I wish the 13T was released globally!

I think the only other option is the pixel 9, but not sure about battery life and slower charging.

Is this the Finnish equivalent to a cockerel crowing in the morning?

The thick layer of wasps and flies on the yoghurty windows would also help.

As a parent of two young kids, there’s definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.

I think the buzz looks kinda cool, but the range is terrible from what I recall.

• Nigel Farage
• JK Rowling
• The twat of a passenger who gave me a wanker sign in another car that was doing about 50mph in a 20 after I pulled out of a junction on a corner where I couldn’t see them until I was already half way across the road

What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

Are there no military vessel’s offering escorts in the area? Or is there simply too much traffic to escort every vessel?

It’s this. The company I work for will sign contracts with Royal Mail for 12+ months. It’ll also give their business customers time to potentially switch to alternatives, either pushing people to First Class or maybe the tracked options such as T48.

Pretty Bad Tiramisu?

I wonder why these parties don’t just merge to create a single socialist party. And now Corbyn is starting another one.

have year round acceptable temps for cycling, barely any hills to speak of, and no extreme weather excuses

It rains a lot in Ireland and they get plenty of wind from the Atlantic. This would probably put plenty of casual cyclists off.

I’m not convinced. There’s probably a chunk of people who don’t drive because they kept showing that they weren’t safe enough to drive by failing their test. If the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for driving because tests are expensive (they’re £62 in the UK, really not that expensive) then those costs will only be countered by way higher insurance premiums as there will be more drivers who can just jump in a car and drive on their own and crash. Also as a driver and pedestrian, I really don’t want to be on the same road as those people.

It’s still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.

so the driving test proves nothing

The driving test proves you can competently drive to a safe standard. I agree that you learn more through experience, but first you need to be able to drive to a particular standard before being allowed to drive on your own.

What’s the alternative if there’s no test? You just allow anyone who reaches the driving age to get in a car and drive on their own?

No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

But why? Is there some kind of reference to something I’m missing?

I don’t get it
