Do we have any alternative to YouTube?
I want to make some videos, but I do not want to add them to TY, I am looking for an alternative, unfortunately I know Vimeo, but this is not what I am looking for.
The battles over taxation in early America were fierce, chaotic and foundational to the framework of the United States. In the latest episode of our nationally syndicated radio program, America at 250: Due Diligence, we travel to Pittsburgh, the site of the Whiskey Rebellion. https://newsguy.substack.com/p/taxes-tar-and-the-constitution-inside

@ascentale @bikenite A8: I've been reorganising my basement workshop/bike area and several hours later it's not actually bigger but I do have more flat surface and fewer things in the way which is big news for my ability to actually do anything in there xD
@moira @ascentale @bikenite Lack of flat surfaces is an issue for me on the Workshop in the Sky (aka the balcony).
In the case of Google Search, the company has a history of rolling out new "features" that are less helpful to the searcher and more designed to keep you and your data within the Google ecosystem. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/11/google-summaries-arent-about-ai-theyre-about-lock
Google is a fucking plague upon humanity.
Every time one uses that search engine, it tracks, traces, and logs everything you do, and everywhere you go. And that was BEFORE they added these "AI Features."
FFS! People.Stop using it.
Here's a way better, and safer alternative.

Literally nothing is stopping you from creating communities or even an entire instance that follows that principle…
If you want to do it, then do it.
And if people want it, they’ll participate.
But even if they do, I don’t think you’ll get the result you expect and want

I think this is the single best answer here. Probably requires a dedicated instance so there’s an admin who keeps an eye on things and has the power to enforce decisions. But that should be possible to achieve.

@caffeinatedgeek Honestly I don't think you'll be leaving, at least not on time. I'd really call before you head to the Airport.
@mike everything was surprisingly on time. I’m back in Canada but still not home yet.

The decrease in total primary energy supply required due to electrification, even as there are more total users, is a bit strange.
This report suggests that it is because renewables are fundamentally more efficient than fossil-fuels (both for electricity generation and locomotion) but I don't think that's the entire story.
I think they are counting the energy input into a system strangely. For fossil fuels, they use the inherent energy of combustion of the fuel, even though power plants are only about 40% efficient.
For photovoltaic solar they count the energy out of the solar panel, not the radiant energy received from the sun. This means solar panels appear to be "100% efficient" even though in truth they are only about 25% efficient.
I suppose their argument is that the light would have hit the earth anyway.
@artemist the funny thing is that photovoltaic panels are also cooler while they generate power, compared to sitting idle.
I wonder if large enough deployments have noticeable climate effects through this. Don’t know how albedo compares against grasslands tho, my guess is that the PV is also more reflective & emissive in IR.
Buran hasn't been updated in a while, but seems pretty nice.
Lagrange also seems really good.
@Chrs56k Lagrange without doubt

kylie_kraft was being a little harsh there. Your idea isn’t really that bad, thanks for taking the time to write it up and bring it up for discussion.
Hospitals are fun right?
@inpc ack! Sorry to hear that! Glad you're getting treated and hope you're back on your feet very soon.
