A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I'd be happy to pay for video content/video hosting, but I'm not happy with any of my money going to youtube or google. Peertube is the future. 😎
I like the idea of peertube and hopefully it'll be the future with more and more bandwith being available but the risk of ending in jail right now is too high in my country.
If you get fined for downloading a movie it would be a relatively small amount of money I'd say not more than 200 € but if you torrented a movie you are now fined as a distributor and the 200 € will get multiplied by the amount of people you potentially shared the movie with and that's a shitload of money.
I could be wrong in some details because torrenting died about a decade ago in my country but in the end the risk of getting sued for xx,xxx € is not worth it. And if I understood the peertube system right, I would be torrenting every video I watched and couldn't know if I am violation the law
Could a subscription to a decent VPN solve that for you?
Peertube? Is that a thing or just an idea you just had? Sounds amazing!
Oh, it's a thing!
According to this you can even follow a peertube channel from Lemmy, though I haven't been able to get that to work from either side. Curious if anyone else has?
