@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well it appears as though #youtube has now become a “gated community” the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you’re not a bot:(

Exciting times!!

There is an option, if you do self-host peertube, to retain the original resolution if no other options are selected. I’m not sure if that avoids transcoding, which I think is what you’re looking for.

@AstaMcCarthy @ckent @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology

This is a very valid point. If you do create content that you intend to share to an audience, it’s quite easy to find an affordable or free instance to simply mirror your content.

Once it’s setup, it will sync automatically with no additional effort, and we can ALL celebrate that we are not feeding the monsters.

It is very much an ethical choice, and I think we can all agree we need to slay those beasts.

@ajsadauskas
That’s why #peertube is so important! Everyone should be migrating or at least mirroring there ASAP… It will happen.

@deadsuperhero
Can we follow on #activitypub ? #Castopod would be a great option for the #fediverse

@Samsy
Wow, you were right very nice. Amazing what a little polish can do.

Another app that transformed with UI updates is gajim, the desktop xmpp client.

@Samsy
I’ll need to take a look, I haven’t used k9 in ages

@deadsuperhero
I agree, I use xmpp all the time, but the clients are really underwhelming… Not sure how it’s so complicated to give them a facelift to update them while keeping the existing functionality. This reminds me of the debates about the #blender ui in the past, where gray beards argued that the interface was just fine…aesthetics matter;)

@hoodatninja
You just described the reason yourself;)

Better yet, check out simplex chat https://simplex.chat/
It’s the best of all…user friendly as well:)

@min_fapper

@maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.

This could provide a funding model for #FOSS #OpenSource projects that are exploited by the likes of #amazon etc that could and should be supporting them, for the value they bring.

@russjr08
That’s awesome thx!
@favrion @fediverse

@Wander @wakest yeah, I agree, I was wondering if it was the app I was using, but I’ve tried several w the same lack of pics:(

@deadsuperhero so glad you are back and I hope a new “generation” will discover what a gem it is for the #fediverse !

@starrox
The point to be taken here is that you can NEVER trust for profit companies because its just a matter of time before they turn evil…and during that time, you’ve wasted years of effort. Time to build something new!
@lowleveldata

@yogthos this is amazing!
