  • Yup YouTube makes it very easy to receive money from adds and people that have YouTube premium. Having a YouTube premium subscription means that you are at least supporting the creator of every video that you watch a little bit (from what I can find 55% of what you pay is going to the creators). Yes YouTube takes quite a large cut, but video hosting in high quality costs a lot of money.

    I think it will be very hard to do this on a decentralised platform. People don’t trust just anyone with their money, so it could lead to people abandoning smaller servers and you can be sure that bad actors would pop up and try to abuse the system. And even if you do this the right way, you would have to build this system entirely before you can convince creators to move to this platform.

    It will also be really hard to offer the same quality and reliability that YouTube offers, without taking a larger cut than the 45% that YouTube takes. Hosting a large video platform is expensive, and many of the Fediverse users are anti-adds and will run an add-blocker and maybe even sponsor-blocker.



  • Although this feature sounds helpful, it really looks like they went too far with this. They should probably look for a way to sell these Copilot+ pc’s in another way if they can’t get this secure enough and probably keep it disabled for companies…

    I’m surprised they didn’t make sure that the part that should help you hide sensitive information worked well before letting the first testers get their hands on the feature. All this bad news about the future doesn’t help convince people to turn it on.






  • If you would just stick to playing games on the Quest 2/3 directly that should be fine. The Quest 2 can run basic games, so it does limit you a bit. For example VR Chat has some worlds with too many assets that are not playable on the Quest 2 directly. From what I remember you would be limited to Meta’s store though.

    Unfortunately VR seems to be a niche thing so I doubt this will get a lot of priority on Linux.









  • De NOS vroeg Omtzigt al of er nu een lijmpoging mogelijk was. Maar die had daar zin in. Een andere optie die hen redelijk leek is Mona Keizer terug, mar die is toen ontslagen vanwege haar Corona standpunt dat tegen het kabinet in ging. Het wordt heel lastig om daar nog een goed team neer te zetten dat een beetje uitstraling heeft en herkend wordt door de kiezer. Anders zullen ze het echt alleen van de mensen moeten hebben die gewoon op het CDA stemmen omdat ze dat altijd al deden.





  • In de provincies zien we dit al, dus dit zou inderdaad zomaar kunnen. Veel boeren begrijpen ook echt wel dat er maatregelen nodig zijn om de uitstoot van stikstofverbindingen te verminderen, maar ze kunnen nu niets door alle onduidelijkheid. Op die onduidelijkheid is ook het afgelopen stikstofakkoord vastgelopen.Boeren hebben nu echt een keer duidelijkheid nodig zodat ze weten of hun bedrijf nog toekomst heeft en wat ze kunnen doen zodat ze door kunnen. Maar het blijft maar bij gesprekken en kaartjes …



  • I think this is very hard at this point. Manny Fediverse communities are quite small and fear that their community will be flooded with content from any external platform. We even saw this when a lot of Reddit users came over to Lemmy. So in those cases there will be a lot of distrust.

    Smaller companies could easily use a more strictly controlled* Lemmy instance to provide a space for their community. That would allow people to interact with that community without having to setup a new account. *Tightly moderated and limited to admin created communities.

    But anything large will just be distrusted as long as the platform is much larger than large Fediverse instances. Maybe EU law could help to protect the Fediverse from EEE. But EU law also moves slow, and we don’t want laws slowing down the growth of the Fediverse either.


















  • As far as I know, we don’t have user based karma here. Only posts and comments get a score. But we really should make sure that the community does not get over-run with a specific type of post. Unless the community is for that specific purpose, of course.

    But I can imagine that not every instance would like to host a “share your Kickstarter project” community, as those posts will also show up for the users that like to read all local posts. Here on Lemmy.world that feed would already be a full of stuff you aren’t interested in though, but that’s my opinion and I also never used r/all or any of the other extremely broad subreddits.
