But it’s a gigantic waste of energy and time when you could just download a 2mb package and be done with it.
That’s a good point, India is currently also in a fantastic trajectory
They sure have Nazis in Ukraine as has every country.
But saying that the fascists in Italy have anything to do with Ukraine needs very good evidence to support such a wild claim.
But that’s even worse a comparison.
First of all, the German recovery after WW2 is called “miracle of the Rhine” (or Wirtschaftswunder) for a reason. It WAS very impressive.
At the end of WW2 Germany had a gdp of 160 billion dollars, a fully literate und educated population and a reduced but existing industrial base.
Wikipedia: “When the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, more than 400 million of the country’s more than 500 million people were illiterate, and the illiteracy rate was about 80 percent, including over 95 percent in rural areas.”
Per Capita GDP in china was 10% of that of post war Germany and china had no major industry to speak of and was mostly agrarian.
I never said that other countries did not do impressive things, but I think there is merit to the claim that few improved the lives of the population as thoroughly and fast and at a scale as china did.
The Chinese government is responsible for the biggest and fastest uplift of people out of poverty ever seen in history.
And they are also responsible for horrible horrible human rights violations against minorites and dissidents and they caused millions of needless deaths during the cultural revolution.
The second fact however does not negate the first one because they did, in fact, pull almost their entire population out of poverty and into a modern industrialized economy.
Please learn to make some space in your head for uncomfortable facts that cause conflicting emotions.
OP was right, they are an extremely successful government with a surprisingly broad support within the population because most Chinese have living grandparents that where still farmers and had no industry at all. And they now live in modern cities with modern amenities. The transformation happened in two generations.
You can’t trust any full disk encryption without it because only a TPM can verify that your bootloader and initrd are not compromised.
Because it provides me with value that imho justifies the cost in addition to supporting creators more than what they would usually get from me consuming their content.
Realistically, 50% of the videos I watch are random creators I don’t subscribe to and I would not make the effort to donate to just for watching one or two videos. These people still worked for that content and deserve payment.
I could install an ad blocker and basically fuck them over for using YouTube as their platform, or I can pay money, have no ads and support them.
I think that’s a more ethical thing to do then to pretend that they don’t deserve compensation because realistically, they have no alternative platform that generates them enough money to continue what they are doing.
Nobody can make a living on peer tube or any of the other alternatives, except for maybe meta or TikTok but they are far worse.
I know it exists and it showcases my point very nicely.
I randomly picked a fairly large instance, clicked on the top recommended video with 1.5k views.
Waited for it to load on my phone for >30 seconds and then gave up.
This is not an alternative for any serious content creator.
It’s a start, but it’s still miles away from what content consumers expect and what YouTube offers.
At the top I said "So if you care about supporting creators and the platform they run on, then premium is an easy choice. "
So that’s perfectly in line with what I said, no?
What’s the difference? Most stuff I watch comes from a longer list of channels I’m subscribed to. I could go and figure out which Channel I want to donate how much to and then split 12€ between them and keep my donations updated if my viewing habits change and then deal with ads, or I could just not do any of that and support the video platform as well because honestly, I’m very happy with the distribution quality and selection YouTube gives me.
I have a subscription to nebula/curiosity stream as well but compared to YouTube, every other platform just suuuucks at content Delivery 🤷
That’s a really bad take.
Show me one small creator with the ability to serve just twenty 30-minute 1080p (not to mention 4k) videos in 15 different resolutions instantly to a random selection of people around the globe. BitTorrent style distribution works perfectly when you already have a large swarm of people interested in your stuff. For small creators it absolutely does not work. Who is going to peer with me? Joe Johnson watching my video on his phone on the toilet on the other side of the world? I guess every creator just needs to get his or her shit together and pay for a seedbox… Things YouTube gives you for free in MUCH better quality.
Not to mention that discoverability outside of large platforms absolutely sucks ass and there is no viable alternative right now. I’m not saying this is an unsolvable problem, but it current is absolutely unsolved.
That’s just false. Premium supports the creator and YouTube and NOT the advertiser. That’s a win in my book. Saying that premium does not give anything to creators is just not true.
Creators nearly always make substantially more from premium subscribers
My favorite creator absolutely could not exist without YouTube or any other content delivery platform for that matter. So why not pay for that?
But my preferred content creator could not exist without YouTube and YouTube shoulders the enormous expense of hosting videos. I don’t get why they should not get compensated for that as well.
YouTube premium views pay creators a LOT more than ads. So if you care about supporting creators and the platform they run on, then premium is an easy choice.
Additionally, most people spend a lot more time in YouTube than any other streaming site, so the cost makes sense given how fucking expensive video serving is.
Because a lot of entitled assholes will later complain when they are unable to eat their food because it’s too spicy.
Look for Chinese restaurants where the Chinese go eat.
Most regions in China eat very spicy, just ask the waiter for something extra spicy like the Chinese eat it and they’ll give you something amazing.
Where do you live in Germany? Maybe I can recommend something.
What’s the problem with that script? That’s such a basic use case and not very hard to do at all in systemd.
Where do you struggle with it? Can we maybe help with something?
Pretty much every alerting system I know also has a filter option to only apply automated discovery rules to certain filesystem types.
But yes, most don’t first squashfs or mounted read-only snapshots by default and it sucks.
