  • Bill shock might be waiting for anyone silly enough to deep dive with peertube. And website hosts don’t usually play nice when you want to start streaming media. I can see why a lot of people aren’t jumping in with both feet.

    You have to remember that YouTube has a gigantic corporation to back it. A lot of platforms tend to lean heavily on YouTube for content.

    I think it’s a case of waiting for another expansion in the Fediverse to make it all worthwhile. Otherwise, the app you develop could suddenly find itself disconnected from any instances willing to stream a large volume of content.

    I might be wrong, but that’s what I considered when thinking about contributing.





  • No, I think you’re wrong. A lot of countries try to make a big deal of sovereignty as a recommendation for peace. The US buys into that logic. It’s been proven repeatedly. In a way, they see borders as almost sacred.

    It’s the same as they’ve proven not to want to use nuclear weapons. Despite the empire based logic leaking into some factors of US activities they still avoid WMDs and keep stepping back from the brink.

    You can’t seriously think the other countries being mentioned are pushing any such agenda. Most mentioned are disrespecting the sovereignty of their neighbours and building up on international activity to harm efforts for international peace.

    The US even tried everything to embrace China and Russia before this last decade of absolute bullshit from those countries.

    The US’s biggest problem is actually getting involved because of previous promises. They made no promises in Myanmar, and look how that shitshow went down with China as an ally.

    I can’t buy this China is an alternative military superpower idea. They never prove to do anything other than end up in a lifelong dispute with every other nation that gets in their way. Look at how Hong Kong panned out. That was disrespectful as hell! I know who the assholes are.


  • Going into disasters and it being a disaster are the same thing. I’m not irresolute on the matter, but clearer identification of wrongdoing shouldn’t involve a number of villains destabilizing everything.

    Ho Chi Minh, had a clear mandate before the US entered, and should have been welcome to expel the French (who allied with Japan). Now, sovereignty is resolved and all borders and diplomacy are entirely respected by the US. They’re practically an ally these days. The US performed like absolute crap in the war, but now they encourage the sovereignty of the Vietnamese people.

    Does China learn lessons like that? Ho Chi Minh’s cadre also had to say no to China, and if it wasn’t for Russia that could have ended worse. And it’s still not resolved. China barely understands foreign sovereignty.

    (Ahh, I don’t want to stick up for the US position!)
