Just get a dumbTV, or a large PC display and speakers.

If you also need YouTube, Netflix, casting, etc, get a raspberry pi, and install kodi on it.

I can almost guarantee that banning the game will draw them towards playing it even more, and kids have all the time in the world to do so.

To be honest, you’re probably better off letting your kid play whatever game they like, including garbage like roblox or diablo 4. Just make it very clear that no money will be spent on any microtransactions whatsoever and feed them the idea that spending real money is cheating.

Tell them that they don’t deserve free speech either because obviously nothing of quality comes out of their mouth.

In defense of his wife, Linux is too hot to refuse sex with.

We say we, but it is really like 200 people responsible for most of it.

This is a direct response from meta to being outed as intentionally exploiting children on their platform.

It was a hard decision for me to not migrate my mojang account, but it felt better after the deadline officially passed.

Just pirate it and play or host pirated servers. (You already paid for it anyway)

Good job. Do Microsoft and Amazon next.

I was looking forward to buying that game after upgrading my PC. This makes me sad. Divinity never had any ads. Maybe the pirated version gets rid of the ad.

“Most agreed that promos about new games and other content are slightly more tolerable on the main menu before the game starts,”

If I see as much as a small banner ad in a game, I’m immediately refunding, and never purchasing a game from that publisher ever again.

Thankfully, translate arrives soon as a plugin, and later as a native feature.

Plaintext ledgers aren’t immutable, and someone has to distribute and manage them. That’s a single point of failure and vulnerability to censorship, not to mention a real pain to synchronize if it was federated ledgers.

The users will never need to redeem their LBRY tokens, thus not be required to disclose personal information, whereas if you want to donate with any non-crypto service, your credit card, address, name, etc must be disclosed. It is a many times easier to just press “donate” without having to set up anything, and give away tokens to a content creator just like that.

Also, you can purchase mullvad VPN services for example, without ever having to transfer crypto into Fiat or disclosing your name. I would for example never want my credit card linked to a VPN. That defeats the entire purpose of a VPN.

There are a ton of online services, subscriptions, etc that accept cryptocurrency, so it isn’t exactly useless until turned into Fiat.

You can also transfer it all to a Monero wallet and after that the thread ends.

The blockchain is a requirement because without it, your video can be taken down entirely by the platform. Like for example Louis Rossmann’s video about Grayjay which google falsly claims violated YouTube ToS when it clearly doesn’t, or when people get false copyright strikes and lose monetization.

With the LBRY blockchain, Odysee can hide your video and ban you from their platform, but your video will still be up and visible on other platforms, and monetization still works, everything you’ve earned is not lost. It is your video, not the platform’s video.

If it was only federated, whichever instance you uploaded to will have the ability to take down your video entirely which can be an issue if you are a critic of the instance itself or if you are a whistleblower, not to mention that video hosting is incredibly expensive, and adding federation on top of that is downright monetarily impossible. The p2p aspect of LBRY solvea this by distributing hosting costs to uploaders and other “seeders.”

The blockchain itself acts as a public record of uploaded videos and where to download them, like a torrent tracker, and records cannot be deleted, so the blockchain doesn’t host the videos themselves. The video itself can be taken down from the original source but since it is also p2p, the video can remain in circulation.

Another thing about blockchain technology in general is that it provides you with a way to identify yourself and authenticate transactions without providing your real name, email or credit card. You need neither of these on Odysee yet can still earn money.

It doesn’t really need to hit mainstream IMO. It is a good alternative for privacy and decentralization enthusiasts. With an account you’ll mostly be getting videos from channels you subscribe to. It is honestly the first time I found an alt-right video on that platform.

You have the same garbage on YouTube but their algorithm hides it from you and shows it to the alt-right. Odysee doesn’t have an algorithm.

You can’t really have an algorithm and privacy at the same time, so the best you can do here is downvote and block the video/channel.

With enough downvotes (only around 2 more should be enough ) the video won’t be recommended as much.

You can see it has one green blob thingy. That’s my downvote. It isn’t a huge platform to begin with so it is not like it takes much to drive out the trash.

If it violates site policies or law, you can report the video and have it taken down, though it will only be taken down from Odysee, and not on other instances that use the underlying video hosting technology (LBRY)

It doesn’t mine crypto in the background. The hosts mine the crypto, and you get some rewards from watching. If you collect enough, you can donate it to your favorite channel which earns them money. It is like Reddit gold but actually useful.

Also, it is somewhat federated. The underlying blockchain containing video metadata is decentralized and used as thread between federated instances. Odysee is one of those instances, and they can block and ban users and videos from showing up on their instance, just like Lemmy.

In other words, you can make an Odysee alternative with the same videos but filtered to your liking.

Can’t wait for rich billionaires’ kids to live to be 250 years old while everyone else dies from microplastics-induced early onset Alzheimer’s and childhood cancer from PFAS.

Odysee is not a Nazi space. It is a privacy focused decentralized alternative to YouTube.

The largest group of youtubers on that platform are not the alt-right, but rather, the free and open source software community, privacy and decentralization advocates, and programmers.
