I always wondered why they haven’t been doing it from the start, seams like it is not as simple as I imagine.

People will take it, there is no other option and G is working hard not to allow another video platform.

Problem is ads they are playing are awful and loud. We will make way to silent them and black them out, it is not hard.

Bigger problem is content they are pushing is getting bad and is pushing creators into burnout. And I don’t want to see videos companies are creating, but want individual contributions.

It is, it has -9 points right now. While unpopular opinion, I agree with it if you like the content.

I use it, but I am trying to move to podcast and other platforms as much as possible.

Thing is you also stop sharing and commenting and engaging with other users. If it wasn’t useful they would pull the plug long ago, nothing technical is preventing them.

I think they are selling hardware on reduced price so they can make money on cloud services. And by spying and selling customer data.

The problem is that investors want to invest in data collection, not in making new hardware and service.

While being right about crypto being meaningless for some people (I guess there are people valuing hope in decentralized monetary system, even if it is misplaced.), you failed to mention that most of other industries are equally meaningless and good part of them are even harmful: fashion, fast food, industrial food, banking - in a way we have it, cars in current form(no need for this huge tanks)…

In comparation crypto is just wasteful and isn’t harming anyone.

And it is always a question how they calculated handling of nuclear waste.

There are options, we can use coal and natural gas for on demand power to fill the gaps in renewables, we don’t have to quit all at once. New ideas for energy storage and comming around, some of them might be useful for small towns, others for remote places.

Yes, the article is not very good. Main players here are google and gihub. My experience with media is that they often don’t publish everything, sometimes because of incompetence sometimes for sponsor money. So we have to use our heads a bit.

Not even mentioning google, not even.asking google what they think of youtube-dl, not even asking MS to comment. Give us at least a question and ‘they said no comment’.

Not really good reporting and we got used to that.

There is some difference between private communication and open source code that smis available to anyone.

Looks to me it is just MS playing hard to get with Google.

While title is click bite, they do say right at the beginning:

*Right now, it is pulling through only because of Microsoft’s $10 billion funding *

Pretty hard to miss, and than they go to explain their point, which might be wrong, but still stands. 700k i only one model, there are others and making new ones and running the company. It is easy over 1B a year without making profit. Still not significant since people will pour money into it even after those 10B.

So they can make superconductors, but can not host high quality video somewhere belivable and use tiktok and bilibili?

I expect we’ll lose about 90% of the web within five years

Which part? I feel it will be part I don’t even want. I might be forced to use that part for work, but that will be nice filter.

I was thinking that “they” ( governments and big corporations) should have their own internet which is clean and ordered and “safe” and leave us on other part. This might be a way to achieve that.

There is nothing for them to take back, they have company that manages .me… so it’s theirs to selm to you.

I understand, in difference of some people here.

Looks like gitea supports federation: https://fedidb.org/software/gitea maybe lemmy should consider moving to gitea. Sadly I don’t see some big instance, asking lemmy devs to start hosting gitea would be too much right now, but would be nice i. the future.

Maybe create feature request on github?

That sounds great and at least we can try something and learn what can or can not be done. I am totally interested in working on bot detection.

I know that emails remain locally, but those can also be important part of pattern detection, but it has to be done without them.

Fediseer sounds great, at least building some in instances.

I am more thinking on votes, comments and post detection from individual accounts in which fediseer would be quite important weight.

There are data scientist around and we are monitoring where this goes.

Bigest problem I currently see is how to effectively share data but preserve privacy. Can this be solved without sharing emails and ip addresses or would that be necessary? Maybe securely hashing emails and ip addresses is enough, but that would hide some important data.

Should that be shared only with trusted users?

Can we create dataset where humans would identify bots and than share with larger community (like kaggle), to help us with ideas.

There are options and will be built, just jt can not happen in few days. People are working non stop to fix (currently) more important issues.

Be patient, collect the data and let’s work on solution.

And let’s be nice to each others, we all have similar goals here.

And I would really not be surprised, it was so much repeating same ideas that it was not possible to come from different people.
