Hi, the OP this was crossposted from here. The answer is simple: I am using PeerTube Companion, a Firefox add-on that automatically redirects me to my home instance when loading any PeerTube video - so I can easily comment and like and subscribe. So when using the "share" button or copy-pasting the link from the address bar, I will default to posting a link to my instance - in essence, it is the same video, loaded from the same source, federation being what it is.

But - why don't they both have them?

Wait.... Are those... Dinosaur tiddy bones in the last panel?

Phew, for a second, I was unsure if this was sanctioned, heterosexual dinosaur infidelity.

I guess the engagement bait "please contradict the headline"-title is working well, I always want to keep editorialising to a minimum when sharing videos like this, but this was one of those "what they meant could have been made a little bit clearer, and they knew it"-things.

Really the stuff he is talking about concerning that - mainly initial cost vs long term savings and lack of existing infrastructure/expertise - are just realities that are important to address in the political process. He could have gone into more detail considering Munich's attempt at Linux (LiMux) - where to my knowledge the reason it failed was a combination of lobbying by Microsoft, Conservatives (CSU) winning the local elections, and costs (as well as employee complaints) from having processes be more complicated, the latter mostly thanks to Microsoft's outright obstructionism concerning document format standards, as well as expertise being relatively costly (whereas finding MS-certified anyones in the office space was relatively easy). Those are considerations to have, but I think more and more, the advantages of Linux and Open Source clearly outweigh that stuff in the face of rising costs and enshittification, and he does talk about all the good stuff pretty well in the video.

Für den Carlsen-Verlag mit Sitz in Hamburg, der die Kinderbuchreihe herausgibt, ist Conni deshalb sehr wertvoll. Auch, weil einfach jeder die Figur des kleinen Mädchens im Ringelshirt kennt.

Ich muss hier ehrlich sein: Ich hätte die Figur und die Marke vermutlich nicht ohne die Memes gekannt - ansonsten höchstens als eine "ah, ja, hab ich irgendwo mal von gehört, glaub ich zumindest"-Sache.

“Der Verlag distanziert sich von menschenverachtenden, rassistischen, gewaltverherrlichenden und pornografischen Verwendungen der Conni-Figur.”

Aus meiner eigenen Erfahrung als unerträglich kantiger Teenager vor mittlerweile vielen Jahren, denke ich für einige wird ja genau diese Grenzüberschreitung der Spaß an den Memes sein - und die Sorte Mensch wird sich vermutlich auch eher angespornt von Gegenwind fühlen. Aber jetzt draufblickend, ja, mehr als verständlich, dass man das zumindest wo so was zu öffentlich wird auch angehen können will.

On my own instance I am using "Recent Views" - where in the backend (sadly, not user-configurable as far as I know), it's set to 3 days, so "trending" will be whatever got the most views in the network in the past 3 days - which I personally found to be the "best of the worst" of the sorting algorithms at the moment, definitely better than the "hot" algorithm (AFAIK an adaptation of Reddit's old algorithm).

There's also PeerTube Picks - a Firefox add-on which tries to provide a little bit of a personalised-algorithm experience as an opt-in feature, but that one is extremely basic at this point. I did find a few interesting videos I would have otherwise missed with it, but I would be lying if its anything more than a very bare-bones curiosity at this time.

Other than that, discoverability still is the biggest blind spot - searching videos on Sepia Search, building up a subscription catalogue, casually browsing the "Discover tab" to maybe find one creator you might like in the random selection, or even browsing the "New" section of videos are still the main things to do. Oh, and this community here, of course, as well as [email protected] - without more complex algorithms and the like, word of mouth is also a good way to find new stuff.

Note that at this stage of development - while the name might indicate otherwise - the position of PeerTube and Framasoft is to firstly aim for creating an alternative to Vimeo and other hosting-focused solutions, where unlike YouTube, the algorithm and distribution aspects aren't front and centre. While better ways to discover content through PeerTube itself are being worked on, it's not the biggest focus, at least at this moment in time.

Oh no, my tastes tell me I am all four on the bottom right, so, basically chaotic evil and neighbours 🤔

Luckily for us, that seems to be some piss-weak nearly-water coffee.

My brain is telling me, the bottom right picture has to be the fluffiest thing to possibly exist fluffily in the universe

Could that be the common ground for the India-Pakistan conflict to come to an end?

This made me check on how pixelfed has been faring, since I remember them going through a huge boom recently - and to my joy, they still have a very large (for fediverse standards) community, they even rebounded a bit from the initial drop of people leaving after trying it out!
