Do not use Odysee. It is run by Nazis and I don't mean Nazi by Lemmy standards I mean Nazi as in hating Jews. Half the comments people calling you a Jew in a derogatory sense. It is a safe haven for people who actively target anyone that is not white and strict southern Christian.

MODERATORS
I comment all the time there and read comments all the time. I never see any commenters attacked for being Jews ever. Look, that's not to say that Jew haters aren't on the platform, and I find it very annoying that they seem to be brigading the platform in the comment space, but the place certainly ain't run by Nazi's. It's just unfortunate that people like that have to ruin the reputation of the platform and turn people off from it. The comments seem far less moderated than the videos of the platform, because remember that moderation on the Odysee front-end does exist. I'm mostly saying this for the reader, since you probably already know this, but here is one example from the community guidelines:
We don’t care about what you publish, livestream, comment, or include in channel descriptions for the most part. But we don’t allow the following: Content or posts that incite hatred or violence towards a particular group or person(s) based on, but not limited to the following: Ethnicity Disability Nationality Race Gender Religion Sexual orientation Social class/caste Gender identity/expression
So you certainly can't argue that Odysee allows this content on the platform. I've only once (one time too many, though!) seen someone actually directly promote violence. I slimed it (disliked), reported it, and told other people to do the same (sliming it enough hides the comment like a spoiler), and the other viewers did so. That's the first time I've ever done that, but if you saw what he was promoting, you would probably think he should go to a mental ward. Thankfully, people did slime it, and it became hidden, before eventually being removed by the site moderators.
Yeah I deleted my account instantly once I noticed how toxic it is.
I worked for LBRY before Odysee spin off. Worst culture from the C-Suite you could ever imagine. Autistic sociopathy is the only way to describe it.
That sucks to hear, at one point I was really hoping it would become a viable yt alternative. Not that I ever expected their cryptocurrency to "moon" but it was at least an interesting idea to compensate people for seeding video.
It should have. This is why I joined, and in fact there’s no technology reason why it shouldn’t have. The CEO et al simply did not understand that the content creator was their customer and viewed them, somehow, with disdain—despite being anti IP anarchist types, they were oxymoronic when it came to understanding who they needed to serve.
I think the best way for it to live on is as a software fork / side chain to BTC/BCH. Or you could refactor it completely against Celestia. Ethereum it wouldn’t work because the data shards demand too much and would cause L1 fee spikes.
oh wow, yeah. This stuff doesn't look well for the people running that site.
You are correct, and thankfully peertube exists and is currently not full of nazis (at least from the instances I've checked). Their federation model seems to be opt in instead of opt out though, so it's hard to actually find content, unfortunately.
The most populated instance I've found is https://tilvids.com/, which has a bunch of educational and tech videos.
Why exactly does vehicleprivacyreport want my VIN instead of year make and model? That’s me giving an unvetted third party website the unique tracking token for my car….
Lets talk about IMEIs of our phones too... Why is it illegal to change your phone IMEI?
Exactly!
I was excited for EVs but it looks like I'll be driving gasoline dinosaurs for the rest of my life.
Yup. Fearing the same as well. All I'm asking for is a car, not a Windows computer.
Are you retarded? How would you see where you are going if you can't see.
What?
Sadly it seems our best bet would be to build it ourselves.
Aptera supports Right to Repair.,
Edison Motors has preorders for their pickup truck conversion kits as well if you need something bigger.
Aptera supports Right to Repair
I like Aptera and have a couple of them pre-ordered but that's nothing but a promise. They have plans to IPO. Zero chance their consumer-friendly approach survives that for very long.
Only slightly higher chance that they actually get to market too... Fingers crossed for 2025.
They promised first deliveries before the end of 2022. The only thing they showed up with was a new prototype. There was no explanation given. No acknowledgement. They since pushed the delivery dates back 3 more times, each with no acknowledgement or explanation. Now they say late 2025. I am not hopeful.

I'm imagining cars like Framework laptops and you can install an open source OS of your own choice to operate it.

Right, like if I want a tablet in my car I will just get a dash mount arm and throw whatever current gen tablet on it. I don't need it as a part of the car.
It will have to be the older gasoline dinosaurs, all the ones today spy

Of course they lied about it. I don't know how anybody could have believed them in the first place.
Because the general population doesn't know much about data privacy and they are purposefully mislead and inticed into accepting agreements that share all that information out. The point of NBTV is to raise awareness.
Exactly! This person knows what I am saying! ☝️
They’re fed propaganda to believe that privacy doesn’t matter….
But just imagine a Google admin had access to all the information about you and wanted to blackmail you into doing something…. The sheer power of that is terrifying.
I'm thanksful that there are more people like us who understand the source of the issues...
Bikes are great. Just saying.
Until you have to travel over 40 miles in any direction.
I live car-free, and I travel over 40 miles every now and then.
Well done mate!
What about every day?
I don't need that: I live in a city. Suburbs suck.
Then your argument is invalid
What argument? I'm just saying that it works for me and many others.
Most commutes aren't 40 miles even for suburbanites. Some people get worked up for suggesting that biking is viable for a lot of us for no reason, talking about edge cases, that often could be covered by public transport.
40?
You're in better shape than I am.
Probably because he rides a bike
No, because when it's over 40 he either uses a bus, train, plane, or someone else's car. He never said he bikes 40mi, he says "sometimes he travels 40mi."
Seems the commenter you replied to either thinks he means bikes, or was making a joke about the obvious missing information on the method of over 40mi travel.
And only some e-bikes have a built-in cell phone.
