We don't need centralization for this. Federated protocols like mastodon have friendlier APIs than some of the most popular walled gardens of today...

Discovery sucks, though.

Just like in the Internet?

http://www.insecam.org/ is another fun one. Random unsecured security cameras from around the world.

This site has the cookie permissions dialog which has "reject all", but I think this rejects only the "opt-in" cookies. The "legitimate interest" cookies, which are equally comprehensive but are on a different tab, are not rejected by this, and to reject them you have to turn each one of them off by hand, scrolling down a massive list. If you select "reject all", the dialog instantly closes, I think with the legitima…

Do you think that websites really don't track you if you switch all the toggles?

Yes, it's DST related. Now explain why DST offset is different for pictures and videos ;)

Well they need to be different in _some_ way, right :)? Why not use timestamp offset for this

because the extensions are already different. jpg and mp4

This reminds me of something I've been thinking a lot about. which i think is big techs greatest failure: interoperability I first thought of this when seeing someone take a picture of their computer screen. There is just so much friction in moving data. I should be able to take anything off any screen and move the source material to any other screen on any device or cloud with a simple 1-click process. Including the…

I usually joke that the hardest problem in computer science that is not yet solved is sending a file between two devices.

Email baby!

Tech giants consider interoperability as a bug, not a feature. They want you locked into their ecosystems.

Eleven in four months?

Presumably there are still about 9 months to go in that pregnancy before the child is born.

I always thought, that would make way more sense. But a bit harder to find exact dates probably ..

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

There's something magical when one location becomes the default for something. A site like this would be impossible if YouTube wasn't the place for videos. It's why I'm sad that we no longer have one obvious default for microblogging. It was such a rich source of thoughts. That's all gone now.

I don't see why a site like this couldn't search one or more of the top video sites if there was healthy competition.

I enabled the uBlock Origin Annoyances filter to block most of those cookie popups. It's not enabled by default. Clicking "reject all" has no practical effect on my privacy. If I wanted to keep something secret, I'd use e2e encryption instead of making websites do a pinkie promise

The article is mildly infuriating.

Between 2009 and 2012, Apple iPhones and iPod Touches included a feature called “Send to YouTube”

Proceeds to feature two videos from 2015.
