Great work mate ♥️

I’m liking the giant A and B button.

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

An interesting development to be sure

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

I’d like to highlight that there’s been a recent PR that’s added the licensing to several files

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/1006

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯

Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn’t followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic

You’re getting downvoted because you’re spouting rubbish without actually providing any evidence, not because people are “transphobic”.

Not every unfortunate action that happens to trans people can be attributed to people being “transphobic”, like it’s a coordinated attack

Yeah while I can understand why OP would be grumpy, their replies are coming off pretty poorly

I can’t speak for the other contributors but there’s been almost 1000 tickets in the space of 2-3 months. I’ve been fairly busy fixing bugs and trying to improve the UI. I’ve flagged it to ernest and hopefully this gets resolved soon so we can keep everyone happy 🦙

I’ve raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.

Over the last few weeks he’s be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.

I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there’s been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I’ve been working on improvements)

Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don’t think this was done maliciously, but I’ll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don’t want to touch these files myself)

I think the end conclusion wasn’t great. He said

It wouldn’t matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they’re pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he’ll learn nothing.

Cheers for the tool mate

I’ve used vanced for years and revanced for easily 6 months. I haven’t heard of anyone getting banned since it uses MicroG for the login, but there could be a part of the TOS everyone signed that says you can’t use your account to bypass their “rules”, so it could be a technical violation 🤷‍♂️

That’s a fair take also. Plenty of YouTubers have said they get decent money from people who watch their content from premium members. They’re never really transparent with how much (compared to a normal user view) these views are giving them, but that’s fine.

Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads

It’s a good option for when you want to follow every instance and not be beholden to the server admin randomly de-federating an instance they don’t agree with personally (which was one one of the issues Reddit faced, mods with their own agenda)

If you run your own instance you can choose exactly what you get to interact with
