Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google "peertube", click the first link, put "panda falling over" in the search field - how is that different from YouTube? (Including the first step - lots of older people Google YouTube to go to YouTube) The problem is the next step because there is no video of a panda falling over, but that's not related to the peertube implementation or UX.

I did that, and the "first link" is "join peer tube", with no search field. Even when I eventually find peertube.ch (Which I guess is right, because there are a ton of links on joinpeertube to other "instances") there's no videos with pandas at all there, though I don't actually know if this example was intended to be possible. I do not think my parents would pass this test, even if the video existed.

Fair enough. I'm using ddg and the first link is to https://peer.tube/

Yes... one that is paid from the value the employee creates.

The point here isn't how valuable the employee is, it's how much of a developer's time this donation buys.

In this context are you saying that paying tax is a donation by the taxpayer/employee to the government?

Does debian have a peertube instance of their own? Nice gesture though. Even if they reached the stretch goal, I did my part and donated a few tenners. If you haven't yet, now's the time! They have much more developing to do https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap

Yes, it is a cost which is paid solely by employees. Where do you think money for paying that cost comes from?

I never said anything about that. Just arguing against your false claim "there are no additional costs for the employer". If you mean something else, say that instead.

No, I meant what I said. People think those are "additional costs" just because their payslip says "additional costs". To the employer, it's a simple math of "employee costs me X" compared to "employee earns me Y". All successful companies have Y > X. All bankrupt companies have Y < X.

This is so heart warming. Thanks to Debian and wow - Framasoft (who I'd never heard of) has a page that is so on point!! Amazing. Someone doing something to stop the book burning (comment deletion in the billions) and censorship at youtube. I wish there was more of this.

> Someone doing something to stop the book burning (comment deletion in the billions) and censorship at youtube. What kind of content is getting "censored" on YouTube?

Not just content - the software ecosystem around YouTube is being censored. youtube-dl has been taken down from Github today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24872911

Thank you kindly. Lots of good videos there!

No. What I'm saying is that if you want to know how much developer time Debian's donation buys, you need to look at how much it costs Peertube to buy developer time, which includes all taxes Peertube must pay on employment, not just how much of that money shows up on the developer's paystub.
