I want to like peer tube, but as an old man, i find it impossible to navigate. Odyssey, seems, on the surface okay, until I'm bombarded with Trumper type people and their nonsensical content.
What i do, and don't judge, is watch YouTube through the FreeTube app (invidious) in my defense, most of the YouTubers i follow, taught me how to do that, so i don't feel guilty of ripping them off. There is one exception..there is a monthly YouTuber i watch that shows gay culture through the lense of old TV and movies ...Matt Baum, and that makes me feel bad, but I really try to limit the reach of Google on my laptop.
I feel like peertube is still a beta program, like it's not finished at all. Mostly UI wise.
I hope you are correct, sexy peaches! Honestly, i want to love peer tube...i just have a hard time with it right now.
PS...(if you remember me) i upgraded my x220 Thinkpad memory...i didn't even need the article you shared with me...it was that easy! Yes, the machine is boxy and not glamorous, but something should be said when even I can upgrade an old machine into something pretty snappy for $100. I'm a Thinkpad user for life!
Wow that is so great to hear! It's a wonderful computer. You are running linux on it I guess? Does it have an SSD?
I'm running Arch i bought it for it's size to carry and i need the wifi. It still has the hard drive, but I'm not a huge speed needer, the memory is because i like to use virtualization sometimes. I'm gonna pass on the ssd
You should reaaaaally get an SSD, you would probably save power as well, because it's not as active. Also it would be 397598374x faster ^^
Completely understand...But I'm more interested in getting Parabola with working wifi (no dongle please!) Then increase speed. Also...the battery life with HDD currently is amazing compared to my T430 with SSD which i use at home anyway.
Thaank you, glad I'm not the only one who feels lost trying to navigate Peertube...
I wouldn't consider myself a "content creator" but I do post YouTube videos and I wouldn't be upset at all if people watched my videos through something like FreeTube or NewPipe. I just want people to see/hear what I'm posting.
That's wonderful for me to hear. I would have no problem with a donation link..but google, i absolutely don't want to be a part of it (as much as that is possible)
