Self-hosting your own media considered harmful - I just received my second community guidelines violation for my video demonstrating the use of LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5, for 4K video playback

Breathing is illegal, citizen.

It is probably just a video he's making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

This is incorrect in the US. Ripping DVD and Blu-ray media for personal use has been part of the fair use doctrine since 2015.

Who, Jeff? He made a whole video a while back about how he doesn't rely on YouTube, and is also on Floatplane. However, he acknowledges that a lot of viewers can't afford a subscription service, and YT has a massive reach, so he still uploads there, too.

I made a very similar joke like this on Reddit, except it was about Waymo, and Reddit issued a warning against my account threatening a permanent ban.

Using the Internet is piracy adjacent, by your hypothesis.

That's just bullshit.

[spacecadet@feddit.nl]

Harmful is just code for "threatens the bottom line of multibillion dollar companies". There is no relation to anything that matters to real people.

I love watching YouTube with Kodi as it shows no ads. I guess they don’t love that.

This scene from A Clockwork Orange is how I view Google's attitude of entitlement when it comes to exposing people to ads.

No sir, you don't have the freedom to decide what gets displayed on your screens and even if you don't block ads, you must not ignore them or put the volume on mute while they play.

Are those ads promoting scams? Are those ads delivering malware to your computer? Stiff shit buddy! You must view the ads.

Not to mention if you primarily watch videos on your TV you're out of luck.

Everyone who is capable of hosting a peertube instance should do so, even if it's just to host your own content. I know, "it will never replace youtube" but if as many people as possible use it and share bandwidth between each other we will at least have SOMETHING in terms of a youtube alternative.

[mangocats@feddit.it]

Not my hypothesis. And it is just bullshit, but if you pay attention, they have made similar runs at taxing and controlling the internet periodically since the 1990s.

Let them. Trust me, you'll feel much better

70s? My government the private for-profit corporation tasked by my government to manage copyrights, every year still steals from everyone millions of euro "because that phone can be used to watch pirated content"

We pay 7 euro on each smartphone, 7.50 on each USB drive, up to 18 euro on each internal drive (sata or name, but under 160gb is free) and products are castrated with regional firmware because if it's just a TV then it's 4 euro tax, but if it allows recording it's the 5% of MSRP

[mangocats@feddit.it]

7.50 on each USB drive

Ouch!

[wispy2891@lemmy.world]

It depends by the size (smaller is less taxed), but the law is old and it's exempt only if under 1gb

[jigglysackles@lemmy.world]

Because there is profit in child exploitation.
