Personally I use other platforms for uncensored discussions.

Unfortunately they’re filled with insufferable twats like yourself, but that’s the price we pay for free speech.

It’s obvious for everybody except for you, that Lemmy isn’t intended as a free speech platform, but a means to form your own community based on shared interests and values. That inherently comes with some amount of censorship at the discretion of instance operators. I’m a free speech advocate, but I value and respect individuals’ right to maintain their property (Lemmy instance) as they see fit.

If you want free speech, hop on Simplex where you can yell racial slurs until you’ve satisfied yourself.

Or spin up your own lemmy instance. I’d be happy to join and engage in some debates.

Join lat-team private tracker. They have everything you’d ever want.

The question is whether they were using infrared to see through normal sunglasses. IR blocking sunglasses prevent “night vision” from seeing through the lenses. Under infared, you can see through normal dark sunglasses like they aren’t even there.

Got any further info about these more advanced methods?

I haven’t seen anything beyond the feature distance models. I have seen the models that essentially recreate you entire anatomy in 3D, place it in a database, then use that profile to match to in the future–almost like a 3D match move artist would do for visual effects. Not sure if this is just a proof of concept though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the millimeter wave scanners at airports have been collecting 3D models of us for this database over the last decades.

IR blocking sunglasses are the simplest and most practical solution.

Facial recognition systems compare the distance ratios between your eyes and nose primarily. Hiding your eyes is very effective towards fucking that up. A mask alone is typically not enough.

That immediately came to mind. But is there a way to have it reroute to a different platform if the video is on an alternative platform? I follow a few youtubers in grayjay that I only recently discovered mirror on peer tube. Grayjay didn’t give any hints.

I’m not sure whether you’re asking why to use a frontend vs YouTube rawdog or conflating Odysee/Peertube with a YouTube frontend. I thought they were frontends as well for a long time.

If you’re asking why to use a frontend proxy for YouTube, there could be a few reasons. The obvious being privacy concerns, but other people prefer the less cluttered interface, no ads, no YouTube premium or sign in with google popups, no manipulative algorithm.

This is actually a brilliant idea.

To play devil’s advocate, I could argue the monetization of YouTube has lead to all of the quirks of the platform people like us hate.

• Shilling scams and shitty products
• Biased reviews
• Corporate pressured censorship
• Age restriction
• Algorithm optimized content
• The general corporatization of YT (see YouTube Rewind feature Will Smith and a bunch if other celebrities)

The list goes on.

Although I agree there should at least be some way for creators to recoup the expenses they put towards producing videos. An ad-free patreon style donation system seems the most practical and balanced from what Ive experienced.

Fair point. I’m sure many would disagree with me, but for web video anything more than HD is pointless except for very niche content. But even HD streaming at scale is taxing and expensive.

Airlines make the majority of their money from a small percentage of flyers paying business and 1st class. I think there’s a world where this principal can be applied to something like peertube hosting in some form.

Do you mind sharing your channel? EDIT: Nvm found it. Added the new hyprland video to my watch list.

And can I ask how you find other interesting channels?

I’m sure you weighed the pros and cons of Peertube vs Odysee. What made you choose peertube?

I agree with you for the majority of “content creators”. But I think there’s a sizable number of people who aren’t interested in making videos for a profit and I imagine there’s a fair overlap with people in this community and the fediverse at large.

If I were to create videos I would make them on either peertube or Odysee. I wasn’t really aware of either platform other than vague whispers of them until recently, and I find it difficult to gauge the community sentiment on which of these platforms would be suitable for finding interesting content as well as posting it, hence this post.

I’d like to know as well, but it seems strange for ncdu to take that long. I scan through terrabytes within a few seconds.

I haven’t had that experience at all and I’ve been here for years. Maybe you’re lurking in the wrong subs.

Lots of shit-talking Bazzite…

I don’t game much but when I do it’s on Fedora.

What distro do you all recommend for my Windows buddy looking to switch to gaming on Linux?

We’ve all been there. It’s super frustrating but once you’ve attained enough experience with a Linux OS you come to appreciate it and the problems either become less impactful or disappear as you learn to anticipate your actions causing said issues and adjust your behavior accordingly.

I’ve been a Windows user for multitudes longer than I’ve been a Linux user. It took me a few years to become a fairly advanced user of Linux. When I occasionally have to use Windows for work I still struggle to troubleshoot anything and am constantly frustrated knowing a task I’m doing could be many times simpler if I was on Linux.

This frustrates me to no end. I follow piracy and privacy communities that only use discord for discussion. It defies logic.

Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I’m the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.

A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.

I have trouble finding multi language releases through the usual avenues.

Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I’m trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there’s not many
