This update broke my Jerboa login. The app crashes whenever I attempt to log in.

Me: this looks derivative

Also me: take my upvote

Bill shock might be waiting for anyone silly enough to deep dive with peertube. And website hosts don’t usually play nice when you want to start streaming media. I can see why a lot of people aren’t jumping in with both feet.

You have to remember that YouTube has a gigantic corporation to back it. A lot of platforms tend to lean heavily on YouTube for content.

I think it’s a case of waiting for another expansion in the Fediverse to make it all worthwhile. Otherwise, the app you develop could suddenly find itself disconnected from any instances willing to stream a large volume of content.

I might be wrong, but that’s what I considered when thinking about contributing.

Going into disasters and it being a disaster are the same thing. I’m not irresolute on the matter, but clearer identification of wrongdoing shouldn’t involve a number of villains destabilizing everything.

Ho Chi Minh, had a clear mandate before the US entered, and should have been welcome to expel the French (who allied with Japan). Now, sovereignty is resolved and all borders and diplomacy are entirely respected by the US. They’re practically an ally these days. The US performed like absolute crap in the war, but now they encourage the sovereignty of the Vietnamese people.

Does China learn lessons like that? Ho Chi Minh’s cadre also had to say no to China, and if it wasn’t for Russia that could have ended worse. And it’s still not resolved. China barely understands foreign sovereignty.

(Ahh, I don’t want to stick up for the US position!)

As aggressive as the US is, they don’t regularly traipse over their own neighbour’s borders to attack them.

China on the other hand, Tibet, India, Vietnam, … and most of their disputes aren’t even settled or beyond dispute yet.

Verdict, China can’t manage stable borders and do away with further disputes.

Point out a country that the US has hostilities with that isn’t destabilizing or in a border dispute?

(Disclaimer, we don’t have to like America to point out the obvious.)
