Peer to peer viewing can only go so far. Some people, when they put a video out, get hundred of thousands of view in the span of a few minutes. This works relatively well on youtube, with a very large CDN (and probably some heuristics for big accounts). It is enough to hinder “smaller” platforms like dailymotion. It would just be a terrible experience on peertube as it is now, unless the creator preemptively mirrored it in many, many places beforehand.

Accessibility, usability, scalability at very, very large scale, actual searchability, and actual return on investment, because some people actually get money from youtube?

Actually, peertube, depending on the instance and the popularity of the content, can be incredibly frustrating for a viewer. And it can be frustrating to the content creator. Some people are quick to dismiss minor (and less minor) annoyances, are able to look for fixes, and so on, but for almost everyone? The experience is nightmareish, with incertain returns (or no returns at all, as it stands).

Once you fix all that, you might have a chance to convince larger entities to move to peertube. Well, more realistically, to host their own instance. Well, more realistically, to host multiple instances, because really some people would hammer the platform down with each video. See the issue yet?

Not only in Paris. Saw some of them in Marseille too. At first I thought it was some kind of “anti-ad” joke, where someone was giving them a bad rep because of how stupid it looked.

Guess it was not a joke.

Government: cd / && rg -l trans | xargs rm -f

I’m sure it’ll go well.

The dickvid potential is there.

On the phone (well, teams call): “Just open the windows app…”

A bucket of bullets does not sound that threatening. A bucket of battery acid, tepid water, or mud, a bit more. Although I would not recommend escalating stuff in general, people fucking around pets needs that sometimes.

“Next time it won’t be water”.

I read this as “we don’t want you, the user, to interact with our 100% user-content driven website that depends on your presence to keep having value”.

Yeah, we all know that, but MS being the main force driving this is kinda nuts tho.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations

And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can’t support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.

Add to this that some media are “baffled at what it could mean”…

Every phone out there that can be heard by people 100m away is the indication of a garbage person, that’s not linked to a brand or a specific group.

Seriously, fuck you.

It can be. Or it can be someone that had to deal with users (or was trained about it) and is limiting the chances of a user being kept out because they type something that looks like their password but isn’t, and then have to go to support.

64 characters picked at random in [a-zA-Z0-9_] is perfectly fine if password is your only option. Special character do not increase significantly the difficulty of bruteforcing it, but introduce the risk of having to manually type "}à.å÷Â!!ç-×ô@¸Á¢±ãÕß>>úÓ}¼º¤«<_`àÅû§Æ]*ÂñçÌÿ§à®&ܱ=Ú-´ð¹é$.>=;Ö if something goes catastrophically wrong.

Businesses tend to follow local laws, even outside China.

I will not say that you’re not doing the right thing, but I’d suggest reading the financial statements of Mozilla. If you think the way they’re steering Firefox is an issue, you may find a few surprises in there.

The money that goes in (and out) of Mozilla is well documented. At this point it’s mostly google. And it mostly pays for administration of the corporation itself.

Yes, you can. The same way you can disable a lot of annoying things in other programs. Still an annoyance at the expense of users, and a gateway to more passive users to click on something unexpected.
