- Comment on Well, they finally got around to me 1 day ago:
Seems weirdly intermittent. I just ignored it and it still seems to be working. I just couldn’t play certain specific videos in certain windows. Once I opened it in a new window it seems to work, and now I know the settings I need to tweak

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a mature enough FOSS video streaming platform. it turns out video hosting is really really expensive and complicated.

Super helpful. Thanks!

- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 5 days ago:
Here’s a tip: if you have multiple children, split everything evenly no matter what. It doesn’t matter how good your reasoning is. It doesn’t matter if one kid is an addict, it doesn’t matter if one kid needs the money more. It doesn’t matter if one cares for you in your old age and the other disappeared.
No matter what.
You are inviting nothing but misery into ALL of your children’s lives by dividing it unevenly. No matter how reasonable it is to do something else, they will always tend to think that dividing the inheritance unevenly means that you loved them unequally.
- Comment on If I wanted to make and distribute videos without profit motivate, but also with no or minimum expensive, what would be the best platform? 6 days ago:
I think there was a plan at one point, but yeah. Not one of OPs requirements, but something we should all consider.
The videos are going to go somewhere. YouTube is not ideal, and peertube is basically still closed unless OP is lucky enough to get onto a stable instance.
Vimeo is basically for corporate video hosting now. DailyMotion might be an option although I never really used it.
I’d guess odysee is one of the better alternatives
- Comment on If I wanted to make and distribute videos without profit motivate, but also with no or minimum expensive, what would be the best platform? 6 days ago:
I’ve watched some things on odysee, but also heard some pretty problematic things. I don’t recall the details but I think they have had issues with filtering neonazis and something about sketchy ownership. Hopefully someone here will correct me.
That being said, there are some open source and privacy communicators there. Louis Rossman and Naomi Brockwell come to mind.

Manual? Kids today would probably need a YouTube tutorial.

Well, I’m definitely not googling what that is.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t seem like an unpopular opinion at all

Unpopular opinion: Charities should be morally allowed to compete for top talent on a financial basis.

- Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension? 3 weeks ago:
We also use “Block” when it’s really mute.
- Comment on Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"? 3 weeks ago:
No. Free speech tends to mean the most powerful group determines and enforces norms through aggression, harassment, etc. Speech has consequences, and some of those consequences include harms (threats, doxing, stalking, etc.)
Mastodon is one of the freest online speech platforms I’ve been a part of, and yet also has the most rigorously enforced code of conduct. More people are free to say more things, and feel confident that doing so does not put them in danger.
Before online platforms emerged, the ability to spread a message was dependent on your ability to support it financially and logistically. Anyone can publish a newspaper on any topic, but unless you have a racist millionaire backing you up, your message won’t get very far (ahem, Deerborn Independent). Online publishing has been a haven for hate groups.

Yep, Lemmy is a pretty neat place!
- Comment on Why does the snow melt in this pattern? 4 weeks ago:
Here is what the underside of that particular plate looks like. The metal heats up faster than the concrete as the temperature rises, so the parts with thicker metal melt faster.

- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 4 weeks ago:
There are different standards in different fields of knowledge. Medical science is different than journalism, which is different from history, which is different from public safety.
In general, a given field has sources that publish information with the highest standard of credibility. In many fields, these are peer-reviewed journals. They may be published by large universities (Harvard Law Review, Oxford Review of Economic Policy), by government bodies (e.g. Smithsonian Magazine, NIHR), by professional organizations (eg. JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine), or operate independently (e.g. The Lancet, Nature).

I can confirm the suspicion of strangers handing you something. We don’t trust something for nothing.
There are entire YouTube channels about walking up to Americans and trying to give them a $100 bill. Most won’t take it.

- Comment on Mine was the fact that Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr were both born in 1929 😭 1 month ago:
Black and white film remained popular for decades after color film because it had different properties and could be easier to work with. Some photographers also preferred the aesthetic. Before digital photography became as good as film, B&W continued to be used in professional photography.
