What are you printing to use it that long?

They are testing it in the Beta versions, hopefully it will be added to the release versions soon as it seems like a cool feature

I personally just use my phone speakers, but I can see the benefit of not risking your device next to the bath or shower.

Sadly purchasing a phyical copy still will mean you can’t play it due to the required download for most consoles these days.

Yeah this is one of the reasons I’ve been slowly moving my gaming time over to Steam as they very rarely do stuff like this and if they delist the game, if you’ve already purchased the game you can still play it 99.99% of time. Sad to see Playstation go down this route.

And this alternative will not be able to go away easily as Decentralisation allows anyone to run an instance.

It’s where I really hope more of the Reddit community will jump ship to Fediverse instances as there seems to be less and less of a future for reddit in my eyes.

I would hope that donations to the author or something could be a way to fix that at least a little.

It’s always good to see alternatives but decentralized ones seems to be the most likely to become a new norm for people and I’m all here for it.

Even if it was like 16GB on a PC still not worth $1.6k

I know it’s more complex, just if you are trying to explain what the Fediverse is to someone who’s older or someone who just thinks it’s another social media instead of a whole new way of looking at the internet it’s hard to explain to that person who isn’t really looking actively for an ‘alternative’ for ‘x’ platform.

Mainly OnlyFans… A Fediverse store sounds kind of call though.

Especially when trying to explain that Mastodon and Lemmy can’t talk together but you can still follow / subscribe to people

Yeah I thought about that method but it seems to just make it more complex

Lately I’ve only really seen RSS for PeerTube stuff or for Podcasts. I personally would most likely use them for Podcasts if I ever really wanted to listen to them but I don’t really have a good RSS feed manager thing what ever you call them lol

Yeah it is, OP was talking about Programs that people don’t talk about to often that are useful. But yeah it’s cross-platform.

Yeah I think the only way ‘creators’ will be there is if there is something to move across these larger ones, or at least makes sense to cross-post between YouTube and PeerTube. It’s going to be a hard battle to fight especially with PeerTube limited Space on most instances.

I’ve just signed up for access to MakerTube but yeah I agree, most Instances won’t be able to host 5+ years of content from users making rather the user or the instance to rather have to delete the content or the user to create a ‘second’ channel to upload more. Hopefully with time, storage get’s better and easier but quality of video files (and there for size) will most likely grow so it’s really a cat and mouse game.

I think they are Federated, it’s just hard to find users as one of the people on your instance needs to know what the creator is called before you can expand into, finding there content, this TBH kills the PeerTube experience as you need to use other instances or sources to find the creators you want to watch instead of just working like YouTube does.

A lot of people have jobs doing creative work like YouTube, even before the age of YouTube people where creating stuff such as TV Shows, Radio and Movies (Legacy Media). Sure a lot of people would still create something in free time but the reason people create quality content on places like YouTube is because they are being paid as a bonus, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to spend as much time on the content they create.
