Depends what areas of education you mean. I think the most important areas people need to know more about in order to better the world as a whole are literacy, numeracy and world issues (war, current politics, climate change, etc).

Spending $100B to make university free would just accelerate a new problem that the world is facing: overeducation. Now it's harder to get a job without a college degree as a minimum, especially above minimum wage, even though the skills gained in the degree are not what is actually in demand or being used in whatever job someone ends up with.

Granted that's mainly a problem in the USA at the moment, and with $100B you could also fund a lot of R&D so people studying STEM end up in STEM jobs bettering the world.

By the sounds of it, the staff at reddit also hate u/spez, so maybe they'll join in

I agree that fediverse is only a few million. But the fediverse is also highly populated with refugees from twitter and reddit at the moment, who just want another stable and popular social platform similar to what they've always used.

If anything, the fediverse will have people with stronger opinions: either they're willing to change social media because of a couple bad changes (and aren't too attached to the fediverse), or they're hardcore fediverse fans who are less likely to move to threads than your average twitter user.

If we assume it to be a 50% split, then meta has a chance at stealing half the fediverse by promising a larger user base, thus more content, but on the false premise that Threads will be backwards compatible with the fediverse forever.

I am also subscribed anticipating other people post lol. If you went back to reddit you would see the sub is full of oshi no ko incest memes, so you're not missing out on much

You can see the reddit content on ! [email protected] though it appears lemmy.world is not federating with that community properly

I ran the 0.18.1-rc3 branch off dockerhub

Didn't know allowed hosts allowed all when it's blank. Might give it another shot

Certainly. ffprobe is also a good command to check what audio codec is in the video

With ffmpeg installed, you can extract just the audio. Here is a sample command usage:

ffmpeg -i video_file.mp4 audio_file.mp3
