  • Apple computers, which is a higher market share than Linux, are more expensive. That’s what I was getting at.

    Windows became dominant because of enterprise software sales 20 years ago. Now everything runs in an electron wrapper that can run on any platform or in the browser.

    PCs don’t even have optical drives anymore. No normal consumer even knows how to install a program today, let alone is considering legacy program compatibility when making a computer purchasing decision

    I am qualifying my statements based on interactions with my coworkers of whom I deploy and manage their PCs. I could probably install mint on 50% of their PCs and the only reason they’d notice is because Microsoft office looks different and is called Libre Office for some reason

  • YouTube still offers them a service in directing them new viewers. The big creators all lose viewers but YouTube funnels replacement views faster than they lose. They could host their own videos but they are gonna see very little growth without Google either in search or with YouTube as they start to lose the base that followed them.

    They also won’t be able to negotiate as good as rates for pre-rolls or in video sponsorships as if they were on YouTube.

    The only real alternative would be to band together like the creators that are a part of nebula are doing. Hosting on peertube really isn’t an option unless you are independently supported and you are doing it as a passion project and don’t care about audience growth or retention.

  • I think it’s probably cheaper in the long run to self host a tree instead, unless you live in an apartment with absolutely no green space. But I’d rather get a VPF and host a tree there if I had too

  • It looks like you fixed your issue but I had the same thing happen on windows 10 so I am gonna post how I fixed it in case someone runs across this thread later.

    In my case everything had been working previously but after an arbitrary reboot, my windows 10 PC could ping the local network and nothing else suddenly. No access to the tailnet, Internet; DNS or otherwise. On the wired interface that is. I could connect to WiFi and it would work just fine. I had a DHCP reservation set, deleted the reservation, let it get a new IP and then it worked. No idea why? Recreated the reservation and it still worked back on the old IP again

  • This is true, but it’s easier and faster to parse plain English and so if I don’t adequately comment my code the first time. I will be commenting it when I have to return to it for whatever reason. Honestly the second round of commenting is more verbose and clearer than the function x does y style of comments I tend to make when coding the first time
