It’s important to note that currently it’s in early beta, and in order to avoid playstore and apple store issues you only have access to a curated list of peertube instances.

So for example you can’t connect it to your personal instance ATM… This will be available likely on a fdroid version or more widely after they manage to jump the official stores hurdles.

Personally, I don’t this will have much success because titok is driven by algorithms and influencers…it’s built for lazy scrolling consumers that follow the latest trends. People that use it don’t care about the data privacy or ethics of it, they just want to know what the latest song or dance craze is … Add to that ease of use to add graphics and music tracks. Also reach is everything.

Subsidies are another way to say State planning, which is how you direct the “free market”. No capitalist, which includes China, will “innovate” without being baited with money.

There are massive subsidies in the US as well, but these go into the pockets of the CEOs and political/financial class. If this were to happen in China they’d go missing like Jack Ma of Alibaba until he got his head right.

An independent audit would go a long way as well…looks interesting.

Sayboard on fdroid is an option as well https://f-droid.org/packages/com.elishaazaria.sayboard/

As I understand your neighbour wants to remove fluoride, can he get an under tap filter that only removes those types of chemicals? If not, why not simply buy mineral/spring water. Where I live it’s the same price.

Because Americans are obsessed with iphones, as a status symbol and “American” product and it’s a default…no effort required.

Another great insight into a fediverse project:).

I haven’t played with bonfire in a while, it looks like things are shaping up nicely.

Bad example on my part;)

Bucky was right once again with his theory of “Ephemeralization” https://dbpedia.org/page/Ephemeralization … The only reason we’re concerned with these companies employing Devs and spending Billions to do what small teams of FOSS are able to achieve is simply a bad economic system that requires “make work” or Bullshit jobs for wages to feed the parasite class, instead of us living like the Jetson’s. Time to move one!
