This sort of stuff is crucial and needs to be built in.

Most instances are one user’s whim away from going away. This isn’t a problem as long as clients back things up and migration is easy. But, that doesn’t happen right now.

Guarantee we’ll see some big news at points in the future when a big instance goes down because the owner died or just lost interest.

Again, these are easily overcome, but they are issues right now.

Agree about the comparison with music. I wonder why we didn’t see balkanization there like we do for video.

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won’t see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

Is there a stallmanwasright community here yet? This would fit in there.

Meh. I was there 15 years. I’m not missing anything by being here instead. Heck, I feel like here is the more exciting place to be!
