I'd be fascinated to know how much you get paid per viewer per month on average from YouTube. I'd bet it's not very much. I love the idea of having a "Peertube subscription" where basically I could subscribe via Librapay or similar for twice the YouTube amount to know that I was both supporting you, the use of Peertube, but also making Peertube the MORE profitable platform for you, per viewer.
Kind of missed the release of the Peertube app on AppStore. Just checked it, the thing starts quiet solidly:
default local account that allows to manage "Watch later" and History lists offline;
defaults to official instance / content indices;
instance / search indices can be set in settings;
runs on older iOS version (at least version 15.8.4, which my perfectly intact, still sufficient hardware will never be able to update or switched from);
That said, some cons are:
it's complicated to search for an instance and/or channel outside of chosen index; there's no search by URL or federated handle, so to find a channel not on selected index, one must specify instance URL in settings for search index, scroll the main page down until any channel from the instance is found, click on it, click big plaque that finally leads to instance' view. This is a lot more convoluted than if just searching by URL could give a desired result;
to log into account, one must find the instance their existing account resides on, see the point above;
can't create custom playlists with local account;
no audio-only mode and no playback when screen is locked / app is minimized (there might be situations when one might want to consume a video content as audio-only);
no video quality setting (mobile trafic can get expensive like that);
All things considered, solid application for it's solid purpose at its's current maturity level, just needs more time, attention, and funding — which Framasoft speak clearly about.
I wonder if it'll be a lot easier for MATE, Xfce, Cinnamon, etc. to switch to #Wayland after GNOME & KDE have already done so. Perhaps some of the heavy lifting has already been done?
»U.N. officials have also criticized Israeli limitations on what kind of aid they can provide. "#Israeli authorities have not allowed us to bring in a single ready-to-eat meal. The only food permitted has been flour for bakeries. Even if allowed in unlimited quantities, which it hasn't been, it wouldn't amount to a complete diet for anyone," said Eri Kaneko, U.N. humanitarian affairs spokesperson.«
#Palestine / Thousands of tons of food aid for Gaza are spoiling in Jordanian warehouses due to Israeli restrictions
Medical supplies are being rationed, while hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods remain stranded, compounded by halted shipments from #Jordan and #Egypt. Aid organizations report #Israel is barring aid shipments, with concerns raised over a new Israeli-led “aid” organization and the safety of deliveries to starving populations.

Atlanta, GA – 58-year-old Filipina activist Alma Bowman was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after a check-in at the Atlanta facility. Separated from lawyers and her family at the start of the check-in, abused by staff in the ICE office, and detained without medication, Bowman is yet another instance of deportation being used as a tool to repress immigrants.
Bowman was originally detained by ICE for three years at the infamous Irwin County Detention Center. She later blew the whistle on forced hysterectomies at the detention center, resulting in it being shut down.
Julie Jamora, an organizer with Malaya and the Justice for Alma Bowman (J4AB) campaign said, “She witnessed and experienced grave human rights violations while detained at the Irwin County detention center. Witnessed migrant women getting unnecessary and forced gynecological procedures, was at the center of a congressional investigation against this doctor. She highlights the everyday inhuman experiences of migrants while in detention.”
While she was released from ICE detention in 2020, Bowman continued to be a victim of the racist immigration system. She was forced to have check-ins with ICE, requiring her to drive nearly two hours from her home in Macon, Georgia on a regular basis. Despite being out of custody, Bowman was constantly terrorized by ICE, oftentimes not sure if she would be separated from her children.
Bowman’s detention is the latest in a series of ICE detentions and deportations used to target politically active immigrants and migrants, like what we’ve seen with pro-Palestine student protesters such as Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University and Badar Khan Suri at Georgetown University. Both were labeled as political threats and targeted by the White House, showing that reactionary forces will employ any means to attempt to silence our movements.
Malaya is currently organizing a call-in to the Philippines Embassy to demand they take action for Alma Bowman and push for her release due to her chronic health conditions and the unjustness of her detention. The Consulate of the Philippines in Atlanta can be reached at: (404) 442-5667.

They are linux based operating systems that are designed to be read-only and not easily modifiable.
Most of these immutable distros still let you install apps and packages on top of the system, through flatpaks, snaps or appimages, or with a specific layer of packages, that is kept when rebooting and updating. Some immutable distros give you easy access to containers so you can still use a full system with full write access.
And there are a BUNCH of immutable distros: Fedora Silverblue, and Fedora Kinoite are basically Fedora Workstation, with GNOME or KDE, but with an immutable base. Vanilla OS is an Ubuntu based, soon to be debian based immutable distro that gives you access to any packaging format through containers. BLendOS does the same thing, but based on Arch. SteamOS, the linux distribution that powers the steam deck, and also my Linux gaming console / PC is also immutable.
You could also say that NixOS is an immutable distribution, since you only install things and modify configurations through a declarative config file that is used to build the system. And there are a lot more, like microOS from openSUSE, endlessOS, and more!
So in terms of advantages, immutable distros are just way more secure. Since you, the user can't modify the base system, and since the super user can't do it either, it also means any third party programs also can't modify that base system.
Another advantage is reliability. Since you can't tinker with the system files, you also have a much smaller chance of actually destroying your system.
And in terms of maintenance, since you only use an updated system after a reboot, there is no risk of breaking something by updating it while it's running.
But how do I install anything if I can't write to the system? Most immutable distros work around that using universal packaging formats like flatpaks, snaps and appimages.
But that's not the only way to install stuff to an immutable distro. A lot of them actually still let you install packages to the system, in a dedicated layer. That's called "layering".
WHat this means is that you still have access to the distro's repos of packages, and you can still elect to install some, but you won't use the usual package manager, but another dedicated tool.
Some immutable distributions also use containers, generally with something like distrobox.
Another difference that can be considered a drawback is updating. Updates on immutable distros are never applied in place. When an update is available, they'll build another system image. So you end up with 2 systems; the one you're currently using, and the updated one, which is not currently active. And you only get the updates after you reboot onto that new system image.
Another drawback is the complexity of these systems. Everything you try to do is different: installing a package doesn't use your usual package manager. Applying updates isn't the same command, or requires you to reboot to actually use the updated system.
Immutable distros are a different sort of system, with different tools to interact with things you might already know how to do.
Are they the future? Probably not. For servers, they make a lot of sense. For regular users, they do have a lot of advantages, but they also have a bunch of limitations that require the use of workarounds.
And so I don't think immutable distros will replace regular distros. They'll grow, and occupy a space next to let's call them "mutable" systems, but they'll probably never be the default thing most people use.
Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.
I found this interesting in a way that really did not directly relate to the subject of the video, but they talk about an experiment where they train one creature, take RNA from it and inject it in another, and that creature then displays memories from the trained creature.
This suggests involvement in RNA in memories other than just genetic evolution memories, but actual memories acquired during the organisms lifetime.
And if this is the case, then you really have to wonder what the REAL purposes of Fauci's modified Covid-19 and Bill Gates MRNA vax was.

Saw the new Mission Impossible movie and it was good. Villain had a great voice, and they did a lot to pay off plot points from other movies. The most unbelievable thing was that a shechimp was the most rational leader in America, but that was baked into the sci-fi of the setting ever since the smartest man in the world was cast as a fat man in movie 1.
It helps that I tried to watch the new black Roadhouse, where even the titular location had all Whiteness stripped from it and I'm supposed to believe a medium-sized jew is an unkillable meatslab that shakes the earth with every step. Suck my balls and just make a Patrick Swayze sequel.
@porkcow I miss the old television series. It was a nice touch that the machine playing the audio instructions went up in smoke afterwards like the old tape recorders. I never did understand how that smoke would prevent someone from grabbing the tape reels off the machine and playing them elsewhere.
