All of the German car makers were actually opposed to the import taxes on Chinese EVs, as was Germany as a whole. But it got passed on the EU level anyway.

Considering doing something is completely irrelevant to everyone else. Doing something is the only thing that can have an effect on anything. That's just how that works.

Again, he doesn't do sponsorships and doesn't want to. Missing out on "only" AdSense is one of two revenue streams (the other being donations/patron).

And you're conveniently ignoring the other points about discoverability. There isn't any on peertube. So you can't even grow the last remaining revenue stream.

Because it's not an alternative to people with YouTube as a job. It's great if you want to have a couple of videos hosted and watchable by others. There is no way to monetize them by their very definition and mission statement. Their own website says it was "created for non-commercial purposes". It's his job though, so he's not the target demographic.

You could integrate sponsors, which he doesn't do on YouTube either. Or redirect to patron or similar services.

There's also no (or very little) discoverable for people who watch sometime similar, which YouTube actually does extremely well. So how do you grow your audience?

These lists really need to stop promoting proton mail. There are actually great alternatives that didn't have a shady history on privacy and an even more shady CEO.

Energy got incredibly expensive. I live in a very small, well insulated house (good), but it's heated with electricity as resistive heat (not good). So no heat pumps (which would be good again).

I happen to be able to see how much it costs me to heat it. It's not particularly cold at the moment and it's between 7 and 10 € every day! So calling it 1000€ for a month in winter isn't far off.

Now if you have a larger house, or bad (or even no) insulation, even if you're heating with some fuel that's cheaper per kWh, it'll still add up to at least similar if not higher numbers. Not hard to imagine that's quickly too much for many people...

Glad I decided against brother printer recently. How Kyocera doesn't follow, so far it seems fine?

And that's why we're here and not there. Who cares anymore? And who's surprised?

That wasn't the point. The point was that the terms as written would allow them to.

The date/age is in the title. How much more clarity do you need?

I think he was referring to the fact that the website has no dark mode, not anything related to content.

That's actually great to know that this is possible, I had no idea. Probably gonna set that up this weekend.
