Não quero ser pessimista, mas o Cezar Bittencourt se queimou depois de dar entrevista na GloboNews sem nem ter conversado com o Cid, mas espero que dê tudo certo no final e o capetão seja mandado pra Papuda

I'd love to see PeerTube grow just like these platforms, but I think it's a lot more complicated to get people to use it than mastodon/lemmy.

Twitter/Reddit weren't used as a major income source like YouTube and Instagram (I am saying this based on famous people in my country, I don't know how it goes on other places), and so are easier to replace. The people posting and discussing topics don't do that for the money, they do because they like it.

YT and its monetization system made possible for people to make a living from the content they produce, and many wouldn't like or simply couldn't sacrifice this income source just to go to a more ethical and private platform like PeerTube.

Obviously, he's talking about Free Bird

Lol, what can we actually do in this situation? I mean, for real, what can we do? I doubt pressing our representatives will help, and everything one could do on its own (like stop using cars, going vegan, etc) has little to no effect.

We can't stop factories from working, can't force the creation of a decent public transportation system so people can stop relying on cars, and we can't close all coal-based powerplants and replace them with solar/eolic powerplants. All of these could help a lot against climate change, but one would need to rely on the government, or use violent methods; either of them I personally consider unfeasible.

If there is something we can do, we'll absolutely do it, but I don't see much to do aside being a doomer.

I hope this repeats and big franchises have movies/shows delayed or cancelled, as it seems to be the only way to get these pigs' attention

I disagree in parts. Yes, I agree this "back to office" movement has something to do with CEOs power rush, but what about the investors? They don't care about power hierarchies, only about profits and dividends. If they have enough shares and decide to make people work from home, company's costs with office rent could be turned into investments (like better equipment or help develop new products), or turned into dividends to the investors (more likely IMO). Either way, the investors will make more money from it.

Honestly, I think office renting is a real problem, and could get catastrophic if not handled appropriately. This massive propaganda we see about "get back to office" is more likely to be a landlord's move than anything else IMO, and CEOs decisions are just "aftershocks"

Finally, Umbreon Nollie + Varial Flip

Yeah, it doesn't add up. Why would one go to the restricted access distributor if they can get a lot more by pirating?

Why can't we have nice things? These people are literally just archiving and preserving old media, and if I recall correctly, they have strict rules of sharing these archived media.

I kinda understand why they got sued by Wiley/HarperCollins due to breaking the rules of sharing unlimited copies of archived books, but this time it doesn't look like it.

Honestly, I hope Internet Archive survives all these lawsuits they're dealing with

Don't forget the ping-pong table!

Genuine question: what's the real problem? As a non-american, I can't get it.

I mean, it's not like they're smuggling these chips to China, but doing a legitimate acquisition. Don't want them to get access to U.S. tech? Simply don't sell it to any other country that buys/sells to China, since they could trade or resell those chips to them. Also, AFAIK most international trades are done using U.S. dollars, so limiting U.S. companies from trading won't solve the problem.

I'm not an economist, so feel free to correct me
