Forgive me for only TLDW and not watching, but was ack mentioned?

I’ve never looked back.

Flashbacks to when I lived in the UK and so much misinformation in the (failed) referendum to get it there.

Made me realize: Consider the average voter and then consider explaining the merits of different voting systems to them. It’ll never happen.

Confirmed 😄

This. I’m a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.

Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.

To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.

I’ve been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they’d built it on top of PeerTube.

A lemmy for video streaming

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.

I’m ashamed to admit I had no idea, until I stumbled upon this video. https://youtu.be/Krl_CUxW14Y

My life so far:

1. Be born in UK, be able to work / live anywhere in EU
2. Emigrate to USA to try that for a bit (can always move back to anywhere in EU if I don’t like it!)
3. Brexit
4. Trump

And yes, I do miss the trains.

This seems like a direction https://ground.news/ could go in.

It could be set up in a way that the publications get paid per view of their articles

This is idea behind the BAT token and the Brave Browser¹. Unfortunately it won’t break through paywalls, but ad blocking is pretty good and in theory is less guilt.

¹ although, there is this

Is is pronounced eye-vee-eye, or pipe-slash-(slash-?)slash-pipe(-pipe?)?

Bwahaha:

4. Even if you do want a pizza, you should probably be careful with this provider. In testing, I once nearly ordered every item on the Domino’s menu, which would probably have been expensive and embarrassing.

Reminds me of the old adage:

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history – with the possible exceptions of hand guns and tequila.
