Don't take offence, but I manually approve follows, if only to avoid spam accounts
@hoodatninja
You just described the reason yourself;)
@dansup @pixelfed @bady @fediverse
@deadsuperhero so glad you are back and I hope a new "generation" will discover what a gem it is for the #fediverse !
@yogthos
Those numbers are impressive, 4.6 million STEM graduates vs 330k in the US in one year!? Holy shit! No wonder they are advancing so quickly, they are actually investing in their future, unlike the West.
@ajsadauskas
That's why #peertube is so important! Everyone should be migrating or at least mirroring there ASAP... It will happen.

Better yet, check out simplex chat https://simplex.chat/
It's the best of all...user friendly as well:)
@yogthos to make this even more striking, I would be very interested to know how many foreign students are included in the US numbers....specifically how many are actually Chinese Foreign nationals that simply return home with their new-found American education.
Capitalism would be so hilarious if it wasn't just sad. The system sows the seeds of its own demise with such short-sightedness, and unfortunately we as citizens of the west suffer.
@deadsuperhero
Can we follow on #activitypub ? #Castopod would be a great option for the #fediverse
@russjr08
That's awesome thx!

@Samsy
Wow, you were right very nice. Amazing what a little polish can do.
Another app that transformed with UI updates is gajim, the desktop xmpp client.
@deadsuperhero
I agree, I use xmpp all the time, but the clients are really underwhelming... Not sure how it's so complicated to give them a facelift to update them while keeping the existing functionality. This reminds me of the debates about the #blender ui in the past, where gray beards argued that the interface was just fine....aesthetics matter;)

@AstaMcCarthy @ckent @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology
This is a very valid point. If you do create content that you intend to share to an audience, it's quite easy to find an affordable or free instance to simply mirror your content.
Once it's setup, it will sync automatically with no additional effort, and we can ALL celebrate that we are not feeding the monsters.
It is very much an ethical choice, and I think we can all agree we need to slay those beasts.
@ckent @AstaMcCarthy @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology
There is an option, if you do self-host peertube, to retain the original resolution if no other options are selected. I'm not sure if that avoids transcoding, which I think is what you're looking for.
@yogthos this is amazing!
@maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.
This could provide a funding model for #FOSS #OpenSource projects that are exploited by the likes of #amazon etc that could and should be supporting them, for the value they bring.
