    I personally think that as long as our data has value to someone it will stay. Unfortunately(?) I think a vast majority of it will go the way of the void.

    Space has cost.

    Ironically that means platforms that cannot produce value from old messages will probably delete them. All these bytes are on storage media that probably wont last 10 years let alone 100+. Also never mind that the data itself will have to be on a media that other systems can use…so the html of today may not be used in 50 years or so, so reduces its value further. “Value” is subjective, but for most commercial platforms, its literally the amount of $$ they can get for the data. As soon as the data reaches 0$, it gets deleted. And as things get older and people die, these messages/data/etc… get lost, deleted, corrupted, or incompatible with the technology of the day.

    But short term, everyone is pulling our data because it has a VERY high value. So dont say anything on the internet you would not want your parents finding out :)








  • Peertube is great as a technology. Works very well. At the moment, it doesn’t have the network effect, but its growing bit by bit naturally. Unfortunately, creators would have to work with the instance admins for monetization. Or create their own.

    With patreon/other sources of income, it may be less or an issue. Inadvertently Youtube de-monetizing videos and creators coming up with other ways of making money means their platform becomes less and less relevant.




  • She does a great job. Im trying to add in a couple of her videos when I see them into the different communities. I usually go to awk to be honest, so I completely blanked on columns. I knew it existed from like 10 years ago, but forgot what I can use it for. I learned something form this video :)

    We need more entertaining Linux/open source people.
