I had so many discussions with neighbors about this. For most of them the argument that their DSL cable will stay where it is and the fact that the mandatory 2 year contract with our local ISP is cheaper than what it would cost to have it installed later made them see the light.

She herself said, that people who embezzle funds or are convicted of fraud should have their passive voting rights stripped. She just didn’t think it would hit her

Yeah, I misread that as you trying to sy it doesn’t mean that

If a third of your population can’t be bothered to vote against him, I see them in support of him.

Voting is a privilege but also a duty

No, he had a look at his quarterly report

And I agree wholeheartedly. I’m just saying, that the idea of replacing YouTube with something federated fails due to lack of upload speeds, as cool as it would be. Still, having it even just as a small scale alternative would be cool

Yeah EU like in Europe, right?

From that list I see amazon as the least problematic though. Still problematic of course, but compared to the likes of Meta, Google or X they at least don’t have influence on the information you get. They “just” dominate shoppng and hosting

Even most people hosting at home, which is already an incredibly small bubble, have only the default upload of something like 40Mbit which is more than plenty for internet usage and thus the only thing most providers supply, since people favour download speeds. You usually have to specifically order increased uploads speed, which not enough people do to build something that could serve as an alternative to youtube

The usual household has nowhere near the upload capacity to meaningfully stream videos.

I usually assume left people to be smarter than people from the right wing, yet the communist party has not been able to reform in almost 70 years

What does that have to do with anything?

A party ban in germany results also in a pohibition to form follow up parties. That’s why we should aim for the party and not single members

You only need the critical mass. If enough people switch or at least use both the other service can succeed

They are fictional

Don’t forget light pollution that wrecks peoples and animals biorythms

Have a look at Qualityland, it has (satirical) ads in it. The whole thing is a comment on consumerism

destroying genuine grass-roots causes and spreading astroturfing to hinder popular movements, unions,…

In my city there is a public vote planned for an ad free cityscape and all of a sudden i see adverts claiming that only adverts keep stuff like Soup kitchens or other charities in the publics focus and how good ads are in public space. It’s a goddamn disease
