PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?
Because YouTube has a monopoly for the most part
-
I understand why he doesn't leave youtube but why not reposts on alternatives for people who want to limit the use of youtube
If he did the alternative would be instantly crushed
-
I mean, I don't know of him now... he's way older and, seems significantly less immature than he was in the past, it's possible a good portion of his fanbase has also grown to be more tolerable.
Lemmy has less than 1 million users
The fan base would crush us

I was actually kinda wondering the other day why super large content creators with good cash flow from what they already do, don't ditch Google and Patreon or anything else that takes a cut to be nothing more than a middleman to accessing the content? They don't need to host on the same level as YouTube; they could probably make more money hosting their videos on their own website, where they can control what is free or paid for, and can work directly with advertisers themselves.
Because it is really really hard
-
and trying to get on the grift train of hating google. seems like hes some what desperate to comeback to yt, trying to recapture old glory days, of course all that sweet money comes with it.
What exactly is the grift of suggesting Foss over Google? You think he's getting kickbacks? And if you just mean the "grift" of getting paid for YouTube videos... I mean, if people are watching it and it's good information is that really a "grift", seems like just getting paid for giving good information. Better than the majority of YouTube.

- Gmail -> proton
I recommend Tuta over Proton. They're much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta's leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton's
I kinda use most of proton's stuff. Also I'm not on the us so no idea what the second part means
-
I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network
Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.

I think you are massively overestimating how many of his fans would go anywhere, and how long they tag along. I used to play a social deduction game town of Salem, can't say I know exactly how large the playerbase was... but I'd estimate it on the lower side, probably significantly under 50k. There were a few times Pewdiepie did a video on the game, and yeah, he was a pain in the ass, because he didn't try to learn the game, so his video was basically him trolling around in the game screaming random stuff, completely ruining things for people who wanted to play the game, and players could basically count on a few days afterwards of, having games ruined by his fans doing the same crap of course. However it certainly wasn't millions of them, within a few days the game mostly went back to normal... with if anything a slight boost to the number of players, because a handful stuck around and actually learned the game.
and again this is with much longer ago pewdiepie... way younger fanbase, way larger more active following. Today's pewdiepie, that's still following, and I guess bothering to pay attention to his videos on rigging up gadgets with raspberry pi's, and installing archlinux with hyprland, and apparently this one on getting off google. I'd imagine... the amount of people following him are going to be waay smaller than that, he hasn't been doing gaming videos in at least a year, seems to be more of basic tech comentary and general lifestyle location things.
So in short, if he did a lemmy push, first off I'd imagine actually the blip from it being very small. Unless steam charts suddenly show 100 million new archlinux users or something, I can guess his influence today is probably pretty small, and second the type of people he'd attract are probably also drastically different than the edgy teen base we remember him for, and lastly even at his peak of popularity and immaturity, the influx wasn't quite as big as you are thinking it is.
-
He did some edgy stuff in the past, but he is not Tucker Carlson or anything.
People are out here calling him a nazi and that's just crazy. It's an example of how the left is not immune to propaganda, misinformation, poor critical thinking skills.

Lineage OS is a fairly generic ROM based on AOSP so it supports the most devices
Calyx OS is a privacy focused ROM without all the Graphene OS BS. The Graphene OS team and community are quite toxic and have a "my way or the highway" mentality. They don't support MicroG and focus more on security than privacy and freedom.
Does YouTube vanced/revanced not work on Graphene?
-
LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones
I'm running lineage os on a Motorola moto g7 power (2019) Android 15 runs fine on a 6 year old phone.
-
He has some more mature videos where he reviews books and tours around the world. Sometimes not so mature, he plays Minecraft or calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna, and that can be fun too.
"calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna"
that was years ago right?
These days he seems more calm and almost no toxicity whatsoever other than rarely saying shit, fuck, or generic swear word. -
Didn't he stream a dead body in a Japanese suicide forest shortly after moving to Japan?
That was Logan Paul around 2018.

@possiblylinux127 @Tattorack See also this table: https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/comparison-chart-of-grapheneos-divestos-and-calyxos/5618
A bit outdated since Divest is gone (
), but a core difference is that Graphene prefers proprietary google stuff that is sandboxed and not given any privileges, while Calyx prefers free software versions that might have other issues (eg incomplete, or unsigned coming from third-party sources). -
I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.
Edit: I’m guessing it’s easier nowadays but I still carry that pain lol
wrote last edited by [email protected]That’s not an issue with a custom domain name, but one of the other parts you run into, SPF and DKIM dns settings being correct and the reputation of whatever SMTP server’s ip address is. No one spam-bins based just on random domain names, or every business would freak out. You can also use your own domain on Google, Microsoft, or Apples ecosystems, not that you need to, there are plenty of providers that will host your email. I like runbox.

Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim
Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.

Gotta also recommended porkbun for a registrar, had a great experience with then.
Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

Peertube would be my choice, thanks to p2p one won't burden an instance if a video gets too popular. Just found a nice interface to find a good instance as a videomaker depending on topic, requirements, etc: https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker
As with the rest of the fediverse, autonomous institutions like universities should ideally have their own instance or join a collective. Embeds get the same p2p benefits and they seem super easy to implement
I always thought it was a federated kind of platform. Not really p2p. Why do you need an instance if its p2p?

Oh shit is that what the issue was??? Thank you for explaining! I thought it was literally blacklisted like that. I told those worthless dumbfucks to whitelist my domain and that shit just kept happening—and they made me do all the work every time. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ll look into runbox, thanks again.
