I dont think you need to overtake YouTube on day 1. Do you?
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 days ago:
So for what, 100 million people vs 8 billion, it’s a problem.
I’ll take that.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 days ago:
Honestly? If anyone could make a rival for YouTube it would be a big porn hosting site.
The infrastructure is already there. Just need to buy another domain and throw money at it.
- Comment on Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work. 5 days ago:
My thought would be the opposite.
If you need to scale down, you do not look at the one employee who knows the most about your company.
If you scale up, you need the guy/girl who knows the most about the departments, because you need structure. Otherwise all the specialists only have eyes for their own field.
I’ve seen more “general employees” being promoted than “specialised employees”.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 weeks ago:
I’m talking about all the opinions already made up, that EU wanted to take away encryption and give us chat control.
They didnt want that.
It’s like saying Denmark wants to throw out all immigrants, just because a small minority is proposing it. They dont.
Democracy is just great for media outlets, because they can bandwagon stupid proposals.

Luckily it’s not the same body in the EU who’s in charge of enforcing and setting up proposals.
The EU is not a “one opinion” government body.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
They usually sue if the practice doesnt stop for over a year. They do send warnings before anything official comes out FYI.
But I dont know if they want to do anything though. No one but them and Apple knows for sure.

Google hit by EU lawsuit in 3… 2… 1…
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
I think there’s a middle ground. It’s not all or nothing.
We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
That’s true, which also illustrates how absurd the big paychecks are with your post in mind.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
Sure.
The premise is to bring down costs, and not be free. This is a reality where we can share media we buy, because we own them again.
So you can kind of imagine the world 20-30 years back with VHS and DVDs. Just in the digital world.
Fewer people would buy the content, and less shareholders will be rich. Actors will also not go for multi million dollar salaries. But actors would still exist.
You can argue that this will bring down the number of movies, but most likely there will just be alot of small studios making movies instead of Netflix and Disney controlling the market from start to end.
There will be a much larger varaity in movies, and not that many reboots of past succes from the VHS/DVD age.

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a reality outside our own.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 4 weeks ago:
They just love whoever pays the most. And they cheat on everyone while getting paychecks from all directions.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was just curious if the app could harvest it anyway via the SDK or something.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 4 weeks ago:
Can you use an open source weather app, or is the problem deeper than that?
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 4 weeks ago:
That’s legal today might be illegal tomorrow. Short sighted comment.
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 4 weeks ago:
That’s a fair point. Maybe this “feature” is hard to implement with all countries agreeing on the taxing.
But their might be a limit to how much you can send without being taxable.
This is also a minor feature. As long as it’s possible within country borders, it would be fine 98% of the time.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 4 weeks ago:
It was un-american 50 years ago.
The only thing changed right now is the idiot in charge, who just spills it all, because no one can stop him. Even though it’s a democracy… Right?..
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 4 weeks ago:
The purpose is to boost European companies. Right now they pay between 1-3% of every single transaction.
Next, banks will also get hit. If a digital Euro exists, bank transactions will go down, meaning less transaction fees for both consumers and companies.
Then there’s convinience. People will be free to transfer money across the continent, and also to friends and family without any costs (some countries have that, some dont).
VISA and MasterCard is just a very unneccesarry middle man in 2025.
Who takes the bill then? Well, the EU does, because they work for the people, and the money gained is much larger than money spent. Net positive matematics.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 4 weeks ago:
I dont think your definition of “American” matches with the rest of the world if this is “un-american” for you.
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 4 weeks ago:
It’s not that dumb. There’s a market for this, if you want it or not.
And if you’re going to use crypto, it’s better they use a currency that’s not tied to the currency of an unstable country.
Also, the EU is looking to make a digital Euro anyway, which will not be a crypto coin as you know it, but a way to take power away from VISA and Mastercard, which will save European countries for billions each year.

Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 5 weeks ago:
That’s true, every movie takes on something different.
But then again there’s Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 5 weeks ago:
While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it’s not true though.
The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else
Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There’s many more.

There’s also alot of new battery tech on the way.
There will be a market for batteries at home, and they will exist with the best suitable tech for it - and it’s probably not lithium.
How many years, I dont know. What will it be, and who will do it, no clue. Otherwise my stock portfolio would look better if I knew these things haha.
- Comment on Google fined EUR 3 billion by EU for blocking competition in online ad sales 1 month ago:
Yeah, just as they promised. For every fee they up the numbers. This time they are also ready to do more than hurting their wallets directly, which is much more interesting.
Otherwise Google will just treat is as a cost of doing business.
