I started out with a Knoppix live-CD back in 2002. Remember that distro?

Thats what got me to start dual-booting and eventually nuke my Win XP install entirely.

It’s been all penguins ever since.

Discord works great on Linux nowadays.

And has done so for quite some time.

You don’t have to tell the truth.

Making it exactly like any other dating app.

It’s also on the cusp of a major upgrade release, so good documentation of the latest version’s features will be in high demand very soon.

Most that I’ve found have been on the ground near bus stops.

I’ve been a teenage boy before and I did some bone-headed things

Same.

I would be surprised if anyone with the same history didnt do at least a few completely boneheaded things at one point in their youth.

Then once you have crypto in a wallet on peertube, it has to be deposited into the CEX - that is if the CEX has that particular cryptocurrency. Should it not, then a DEX is required, which means more steps.

That’s one of the pain points with Odysee.

The crypto that they pay out with is not directly able to be converted to fiat . You have to go through an intermediary crypto coin first, then convert to something you can buy food with.

what’s the alternative scenario here?

Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?

That would be good.

If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously

The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting

That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.

I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.

Being super cheap does make the X32 family pretty popular at the entry level.

Before I retired I was also almost entirely analog.

But these days it appears that even the gear targeted at small bar bands is leaning heavily toward a fully digital workflow.

Most of the apps to interface with pro level mixing consoles and lighting boards are Mac / iPad . Very few for Android, limited Windows options and pretty much nothing for Linux.

Live production stuff as well.

So much of the available “industry standard” software is fully proprietary and Apple only.

Anyone who is trying to make money from their videos isn’t likely to have any incentive to be on Odysee, unless thay start paying for views with something other than their useless in-house crypto.

Plus, the audience on Odysee is miniscule compared to pretty much any other video platform.

they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.

To be fair, that was forced by the music industry.

If they didn’t licence the tabs and come up with a payment system they were going to be sued into oblivion.

Updates forced at inconvenient (or inapropriate) times aren’t a good thing though.

Don’t interrupt my work right bloody now.

You can update later when I’m done doing what I’m in the middle of.

need to understand it’s a private company and they can do whatever they want,

That’s the crux of it.

It’s their platform and they can make the rules for what they want (and don’t want) on their platform.

If they want it to be a porn-free gaming platform, that’s their right.

If they say “you want porn, go to a porn platform”, that’s their right.

The reasons for those decisions could be many things, and probably are a combination of things. It doesn’t have to be “they’re just a bunch of nanny state prudes”…

It seems the doctor dropped the ball on this one, from the context in the article.

But the incident happened at the lounge at the hotel she was staying at, not during an activity organized by (or even at) the conference. I’m not entirely sure how it’s the fault of the conference (as the article summary seem to imply).

They only do that because there is an audience there.

If we demand they use better methods of notifying the ublic, that draw for viewers/readers won’t be there either.
