Sure, but there is a difference between a hacked together solution being removed as the community expanded, and coding in a petty gripe with a particular user.

Where else would it come from? 🤷♂️

Phew, well thank goodness all the users are safe from authoritarian red fascist code!
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 2 days ago:
I am aware of private trackers. I guess to me, even in the space of “it’s neat to think about” something like Loops and built on activity pub makes more sense.
Now if we imagined folks offering home hardware or ‘seed boxes’ to help an instance out, that I could see being useful tech, but constantly uploading from your phone seems a bit silly.
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 2 days ago:
I am aware of the problems and have had similar thoughts about how best to deal with the taxing reality of streamed video, but I think the reality of it is, while already fighting the network effect and ad budgets, someone that downloads an app and see it saps half their battery for that day because they liked 5 videos and left, they are going to uninstall it.
I think instanced makes the most sense, and even that would be a hard ask if popularity every spikes.
I think the fact that Peertube which I think of as more a PC interface, where bandwidth and power consumption are less an issue, but still chooses to limit the peer connections to active watching speaks to how discordant the idea is with what people expect from streaming media.
I would happily use a desktop app as you described, so if it ever exists, let me know 😁

Is there any discovery or list of other instances?
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 2 days ago:
I think people would be pretty quickly upset by the batter and storage drain from this. I have to imagine if picking an instance is a barrier to mastodon, most folks are not interested enough to learn the mechanics of why likes suddenly use system resources, and see it as a failing of the app.
- Comment on California governor Gavin Newsom accuses TikTok of suppressing content critical of the current US president Donald Trump 3 days ago:
Not really. There is a right wing podcast with a rotating host of fascists and Newsom as the only guest where they just dog walk him.
- Comment on At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble 1 week ago:
then pump up the price or flood every prompt with ads.
“Sure I found that document you needed, and with it, I also found this great new game I know you’ll love. Raid: Shadow Legends, It’s a free to pla…”
I cannot wait for companies spending 300 dollars per user per month for this convenience.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 1 week ago:
Well like much analysis of economic impact, that’s hard to quantify, so we can just assume it’s trivial.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 3 weeks ago:
1234th time the US has forcibly instituted a regime change in another country: “Oh great! Imagine what the bad countries will do now that this is allowed.”
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 5 weeks ago:
why would they have used it in the first place?
Because 30 seconds with an image generator looks nicer than 30 seconds in MS paint, the deeper point being the deciding factor is that it took 30 seconds of time.
It shaved off work hours.
I think this only makes sense in some abstract of a net aggregate of artistic labor hours. The reality though is that this work was never done by the artists, never given significant time allocation, and would never lead to hiring more artists.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 5 weeks ago:
It was placeholder art. They didn’t reduce the artist hire because they weren’t going to have the artist make orange boxes and MSpaint character icons.
The reductio ad absurdum is equally silly the other way. “Does the seeded algorithmic generation of a cloud texture disqualify anything that uses it as AI???” This is a debate stage level talking point, and is unconvincing in reality.
- Comment on The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal 2 months ago:
The difference is they gave solid sound advice on opsec, and your comment seemed more in line with distrusting signal’s tech. One of these comments makes sense, the other doesn’t.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
The quest runs on a variant of Android correct? Like everything else that isn’t desktop, Linux is already the industry stander in facetop computing 😎
- Comment on The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" 2 months ago:
The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires, is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the war.

- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 months ago:
Jokes on you, putting up bullshit in an art gallery is a classic art move.

- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 4 months ago:
Some might argue it requires a terminal level of brain worms to understand what is being said with rule 8. But I for one find beauty in this exactly level and flavor of petty, and I come to the fediverse for it.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
Honestly I think if there is a hope for greater detach from “The Cloud” more broadly, it’s a testament to nextcloud that folks that don’t even know enough to know what DB they are running are able to run a server, and host things well enough to consider themselves.
shhh
This statement brought was to you by someone that set up nextcloud and had no clue what DB it was using.

One could argue if all she increases is distance away from OP, then there is a form of vectorized movement in polar coordinates with OP at 0 and his GF moving in the direction of maximizing the space between them 🤔

That has been my method, I wondered if there was something better. But if I stumbled into the answer, that works too!

What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I’ve searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

Lets not lie by omission, a huge part of the problem is that they are wildly more expensive while being shit too. 🙂
