I really like the idea of peertube, but until it finds a way to pay creators I'm not sure it will ever be able to replace YouTube.
YouTube is as good as it is because people get paid.
The old school YouTubers just did it for fun, but YouTube was a lot different back then ... and as much as I hate how aggressively Google is monetizing YouTube these days, it's honestly a lot higher quality than it was years ago.

It's a rolling release Linux distro, but they test everything thoroughly through their own build service.
Lets talk about the installer. First, you get a licence agreement.Y ou get very complete network settings, but they're not user friendly at all. Then you get to pick the role of your system: do you need a desktop, with GNOME, Plasma, or XFCE, a generic desktop for a minimal install, or a server. You can also get other desktop environments from the repos afterwards, like Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, or even just a window manager, like i3.
OpenSUSE tumbleweed is one of the rare distros I installed using all its defaults that did NOT manage to give me a bootable system. I reinstalled it, this time carefully picking my partition layout, and this time it worked.
Once I managed to boot the system, I got a very vanilla GNOME experience, with GNOME 44. No extensions, no themes, it's the default experience, and that's great.
On KDE, there's a tiny bit more customization applied, with an OpenSUSE logo as the menu, and the titlebars defaulting to the breeze classic look, instead of the cleaner "regular" color scheme. It doesn't depart from the base KDE layout, it's still super vanilla.
Tumbleweed comes with a lot of preinstalled software, like Evolution, GIMP, LibreOffice, a few games, Tiger VNC, Transmission, and of course, the Yast utility. Flatpak is preinstalled, and flathub is enabled, which is really good.
Yast is a control center and setup utility that's been the mainstay of OpenSUSE for years, basically since its first version. It lets you configure your system in depth, way more than what the default settings in GNOME or KDE let you do.
So, first, Yast lets you manage software. You can add, remove or edit software repositories, and their GPG keys, and you can install packages or apply patches.
This opens a very complete graphical package manager that reminded me of Synaptic. You can install libraries, drivers, whatever is not available in GNOME Software or Discover. It's all RPM packages.
But YAST is also a super complete tool if you want to configure a lot of advanced settings graphically. Yast lets you configure the boot loader entirely, you also get a services manager, to let you enable, or disable various services that run in the background. There's a sysconfig graphical editor, to set various variables related to your desktop. And then there are security settings, for AppArmor, configuring the firewall, hardening the system by disabling or enabling various features and settings, and you can consult the logs, all graphically.
You can also manage printers and scanners, but, the built in tools for this are... not great.
And then there are things I don't think are really needed anymore in a separate tool, like the date and time settings, the language settings, the network settings, the partitioning tool, all of these have equivalents in the Plasma or GNOME desktops, and as far as I can tell, the Yast utilities don't do more than the built in tools.
Once I used it, I started to wonder why desktop environments don't give users access to these configs, or why there isn't a third party tool to manage these.
Tumbleweed also comes with a graphical btrfs snapshot manager: It lets you create or delete snapshots, which you'll be able to restore to revert your system to a usable state.
OpenSUSE also has a web portal to find and install applications.

I'm just curious if anyone knows of an effort to build a federated version of something like Thingiverse, Printables, Thangs, etc. I'm not really a fan of the centralized control, commercial tie-ins and profit motivations of those and similar sites, but the community of collaboration and remixing designs means they are basically indispensable for time efficient 3d printing, they're basically like the Github of 3d printing.
For me the ideal would be to have a federated alternative where users can host and share their own creations and collections, as well as rate and comment each other's designs to help improve discoverability of the best models in the community. This seems like something that would be a good fit for the ActivityPub protocol but I'm not sure if there is something like this already out there. All I could find is this old reddit post that seems to have gotten a lot of support (and good suggestions for features) in the comments but has gone nowhere as far as I can tell.

Chris ABRAHAM
in reply to monarchist • • •Nationalism isn’t static—it reflects the character of the state. In the U.S., that character has always been pluralistic. From the Founders’ Enlightenment ideals to Lincoln’s vision of a unified republic, American nationalism is inherently civic. It asks: Do you believe in the Constitution, not do you descend from one bloodline. Ethnic nationalism is fundamentally un-American, both historically and constitutionally.

in reply to Chris ABRAHAM • • •@monarchist
The English word nation from Middle English c. 1300, nacioun "a race of people, large group of people with common ancestry and language," from Old French nacion "birth (naissance), rank; descendants, relatives; country, homeland" (12c.) and directly from Latin nationem (nominative natio (nātĭō), supine of verb nascar « to birth » (supine : natum)) "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe,"
You are genuinely retarded.
Chris ABRAHAM
in reply to sepples • • •Ethno-state vs nation-state.
@monarchist
Chris ABRAHAM
in reply to Chris ABRAHAM • • •Yes, “nation” has roots in natio—Latin for birth or tribe—but modern nation-states aren’t ethno-states by default. The term evolved to mean a sovereign people under shared governance, not shared blood. The U.S. is a civic nation, not an ethnic one. Etymology isn’t destiny—language shifts, and so do political realities. If you think a modern nation must be racially pure because of a Latin root, congrats: you’ve confused history class with governance.

Unknown parent • • •The good old fashioned way: can't keep it, you lose it. “Force dominance” originally meant military or strategic superiority, but in the American context, it was the systemic subjugation and displacement of Native peoples. It wasn’t just dominance—it was settler colonialism enforced by guns, treaties, and removals. Land wasn’t negotiated—it was taken. Dominance wasn’t achieved—it was declared, at bayonet-point, then codified by law and myth.
