Most people who go out and buy a computer doesn’t understand what an OS is. If Linux was standard when you bought a PC, it would be the dominating OS. I mean, you could switch the OS to Linux on the computers and I think most people wouldn’t realise when they buy it lol
Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.
You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
What do you mean? It’s a video made by The Linux Experiment, where he talks about the news.
It’s actually a different thumbnail from the YouTube version and I wouldn’t call this stupid. You only see the eyes and no facial reaction.
Lenovo has become utter crap. At work, I’m replacing our Lenovo’s with the Framework 13
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
Wouldn’t they have shown up on the cam?
Interesting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.
Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?
Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.
There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.
You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.
We just can’t have nice things…
I use Linux Mint and I disabled it because it was blocking the nvidia driver from initiating. I’m sure I could fix it, but can’t be arsed to.

Yea… I’m gonna wait for that discount lol
I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.
In my experience a stable distribution is a “set and forget”, unless you start tinkering with it.
I have countless of users where I’ve installed something like Linux Mint and it’s been literally running for years without any issues. These users have no idea how to use a computer, except for logging in and opening the browser.
Obviously the more complex a setup, the more shit can go wrong.
