bye!

The CEO is a POS

I said that, but what do i know.

YES fuck tax breaking those bastards, they should be paying 2-3x taxes

The CEO is a POS and has ties to other rich unsavory people

In the past they have done money grabs. It’s been quite a while now.

They still run their own ad network and search engine, They’re definitely down to sell you out if you let them.

If you never sign up for the crypto, or use the VPN, and remove the buttons, it won’t hurt you.

If you run a plugin you can remove their newtab / default page

If you change the settings you can move off their search.

it is open source https://github.com/brave/brave-core

The only thing you’re getting out of them that’s above any other de-googled option is their anti-fingerprinting which is a little better than the others.

The other reason you’d run them is because they have a paid development staff blocking Youtube ads and they’re not doing it at the plugin level, so it’ll likely outlast the plugin models in Youtube’s race to piss people off.

In the end, if you’re in it for the paid blocking, doesn’t hurt to pay them something if you’re turning off all the stuff they’re using to make money on you.

If you’re in it for any other reason, there are literally dozens of forks you could use that give you the same experience that aren’t trying to sell you as their product.

10’s of millions of dollars in rural areas , I wonder how they protect all that from large groups of angry people…

The trick with that was that there was no monetization yet. That cat’s out of the bag.

Seriously, there are multiple platforms out there with no monetization, and they’re hardly used.

Let’s just use George Carlin’s advice, put up a fence and send all the like minded people there.

Extract the few good people to nicer places.

You could carry a laptop and use it’s webcam too

It’s down to convenience. I’m already looking at what i’m what i’m trying to film, instead of just recording that, i’m looking at my phone screen to try to record the thing and not even witnessing it in real life. I’m at my kids track meet, any time i’m trying to record him running i’m experiencing it through a 5" amoled screen so i my wife can have a video instead of just being there.

We can figure out how to make them impossible not to notice they’re recording. we just need privacy shutters or to have to hold the temple or something.

Have a light that beams out from beside the sensor through the same lense, no way to cover it without blocking the camera

Have a visible dot shutter that closes when it’s not recording,

Require you to touch the temple on the frame the whole time it’s recording.

There are ways

They made a fantastic product and slowly, painfully, failed to innovate away from it.

360 cams are eating our lunch: makes a margina 360 cam

gimbal cameras are eating our lunch: software gimbal

gimbal cameras are STILL eating our lunch: huge hardware gimbal.

They should have gone after the dashcam market, made one that could handle day/night really well for a good price.

172k on a car with no suspension issues ever, you’re in the red zone for all those kind of failures, that’s just luck or very very careful driving/maintenance.

I would not bundle regular car issues with EV issues

Except for oil changes and transmission issues EV’s suffer from the same problems. And an HVAC failure can destroy a batterypack

The batteries, there’s just no way around it. Batteries are expensive as hell. You could make the pack standard and small enough to diy replace, but then you lose efficiency, safety, and have higher resistance. I was kind of hoping we could do some kind of flow battery where you’d pull up to a gas station and just swap out your electrolyte, but the power density is just awful.

you can, there are hundreds of nodes. to be fair there are probably 10’s of thousands of videos, but … they’re almost all poor quality or just uninteresting

If all my time there i’ve found a couple music channels and a couple of linux people. There’s no money in it, so none of the creators put any real time into anything over there.

and thank you for your service!

Maybe some form of engagement or time limit would serve. If the post is empty or low engagement and less than 2 days old, it can go. After that it’s up to mod?

I own a 12 year old volt. One of the community apps tracks crowd sourced battery degradation. My pack’s still about 75%-80% of it’s new range. I’m in the center of the bell curve, drive mostly on electric, but it can’t quite make it all the way to/from work anymore. :(

Chevy did a decent job at battery cooling. There are plenty of Nissan leafs that didn’t fair as well.

If I did have to replace my pack right now, (and it’s only a 10kWh) it would be around 8k, but they’re generally not available. None of the used packs on ebay have any assurance that they have any significant life left.

Bluebook on the car is maybe 5k but that is a hybrid. 8k would essentially total the car. If i did manage to get a remanufactured pack (assuming it lasted another decade) it’s still going to need wheelbearings, axels, suspension, steering, HVAC.

Just because an EV’s motor can last longer, doesn’t mean it makes a significantly better long term investment.

I’m not against it, post something it the wrong place, or during a bender. Would be kinda cool if lemmy tracked user starts on deletes like it does on posts and comments

mmhmm, give us your top 10 Peertube reccomendations :)

Few online platforms flourish without advertisers. Practically all our content on lemmy comes from sites with advertising.

missed opportunity to post https://xkcd.com/-1/

that’s a lot of rule 3
