what kind of state of mind you have to be in for that

Probably crazy enough to demand that the PC repair shop has to bear all the costs he caused by his genius idea.

That’s not how you create swimlane diagrams.

Just a regular German word. Please keep walking, nothing to see here.

You should add the local weather forecast, a random fun fact and the canteen menu of the day to the key to make it more interesting to read.

To reduce the chance of errors, you can multiply all numbers by a factor of 10, 100, 1000, 10000, … for the timeout. The higher the factor, the lower the chances of an incorrect result. And as no one asked about performance…

Sure, ‘features’… And then everyone clapped…

‘Bugs.’

A platform that is doing a great job so far but which (unfortunately) isn’t as relevant yet to call it a pillar of modern infrastructure. ;)

Kyll is a beautiful little stream in Germany.

they speak in this code language, evolving all the time so they can talk about normal stuff young people talk about and stay ahead of the big censor machine. And often it’s censored so poorly, everyone can still read it, like what was the point then?

If everyone can still read it, but it wasn’t detected by the big censor machine that sounds like a win to me?

I completely support that. Bash porn can get pretty interactive.

Can’t you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

And pours the boiling water on its legs.

Also, we first have to define more precisely what ‘being 2’ means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person ‘ages’ with 1/4 of the speed.

I don’t like Reddit as a company and stopped using the site actively. But when I research on niche topics, I often appreciate the answers from Reddit in my search results. From my experience, Reddit often is the single source or at least a very valuable entry point to dig deeper into a certain area. As I block all the ads, I also don’t think that Reddit as a company can benefit much from me as a user.

Is there a credible source for the costs of hosting? Wikipedia is listing similar ad revenues as you did but no info on the costs. YouTube has 2.7 billion users that watch in average around 11 hours of videos a month. If 2 billion USD/y would be sufficient to host all that that’d be just 0,74 USD/user*year or 0,06 USD per month. That sounds really cheap considering that you have to pay for storage, traffic, backups and redundancies (at least I never heard of significant outages or data loss on YT).

Does anyone have a credible source on the number of employees YouTube has? If you search for that you fine vastly different number from just 2k to 189k employees.

TBH I’m not sure if a platform like YouTube will ever exist in a non-commercial way. Many creators that I follow reached a level of professionalism that comes with significant costs. You need expensive cameras, microphones, lights, high-end computers, drones, personnel costs for cutters and people that help with research. They have travel costs, sometimes rent for offices etc. All that just to produce the content.

On top, there are significant costs for hosting. I mean YouTube is hosted on multiple data centers rather than a bunch of servers or even home computers. Already Lemmy, which is mostly text and pictures, is a decent financial burden to instance owners. Not to mention the time for moderation and administration. And even here, in a place full of hardcore FOSS supporters, it’s not like admins are drowned in donations.

If YouTube ads and product placements are the only source of income for content creators, then the only alternative would be that consumers directly pay for the content and the platform. Or that such a platform would be paid by some state / taxes. Both of which don’t sound very realistic to me.

Is Johnny the brother of little Bobby Tables?

If I were C++, I’d wear my pants like that.

On the opposite ends of the plus characters I’d put my shoes obviously.
