None of my youtube creators are producing content on peer-tube.

That’s probably more of a monetization issue than anything related to peertube. If your job is making Youtube videos, then at least some portion of your income is AdSense. Sure, it’s not what it was, but at scale it’s not nothing, and the peertube alternative is… $0.

(Also, for the non-commercial ones or the ones that are funded outside of Youtube, maybe ask if they’ll use Peertube. I’ve had luck with a couple of people I watched being willing to upload to multiple platforms, but you don’t know if you don’t ask.)

Stripe is pretty much global, outside of some weird prepaid/debit cards in various places which just don’t work.

The bigger problem is that the number of chargebacks you need to get your merchant account killed with them is very small if you don’t have substantial dollar/transaction volume which a Lemmy admin isn’t horribly likely to have.

And of course, their chargeback fees in general are unpleasant though that’s more of a universal problem than a Stripe problem.

off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated

I’m now imagining the leaders of the Andromeda Initiative shopping for guns at the Citadel branch of Temu, which is Commander Shepherd’s least favorite store.

Another paper that equates not changing the world with being a complete failure.

A valid viewpoint, I suppose, but some Fedi-things have certainly improved my life, which really, is how these things work: you improve people’s lives incrementally, and not by the hundreds of millions at once.

Of course, that means this is a complete failure because we won’t accept anything other than massive global success as success anymore because… reasons?

I’m not sure what’s wrong with your PC, but mine can run a lot more than 3 different consoles worth of games ;)

And of course you’ve also forgotten about Steam, the past 40 years of computer gaming, as well as the easy(easier?) use of all sorts of mods and addons that you just don’t get on one of the major consoles.

Use a better client that shows you the information? The default UI does, so that’s firmly a problem you’ve inflicted on yourself.

Yeah, I tried to use music and audiobooks in Jellyfin and even with apps focused on that it was just… rough.

Pity, since I’d love to have been able to scope down how much shit I’m running, but alas, that’s not going to be the way to do it.

Good news, I guess?

I’ve only used it to do some esp32 stuff with homeassistant, but it does work.

Wait you’re saying 30 year old drives are all dying or dead?

I, for one, am COMPLETELY shocked at this totally unexpected and impossible to plan for eventuality.

Who could possibly have known that hard drives might fail after decades?

thus I don’t really see a problem

Except you no longer can edit, delete, etc. the posts.

You’ve lost complete control over your data, and there’s no way to get it back if your instance vanishes.
