    large part of Europe also.

    also yearly before tax, because employers do not need to know about other incomes and thereof how much money you pay in taxes. you can tell, but they don’t need to know.

    when they hire you, they don’t know about your taxes, anyway. they put the ad, and if you’re hired and have other incomes, you’ll pay more taxes out of it.

    yearly because taxes are paid yearly.

    some people are paid weekly, some monthly.

    so yearly becomes the comparison to help taxes and compare across the market which might pay at different frequency.

    it helps account for your budget and their budget.

    if you don’t care about budgeting or calculate taxes, you make the math.




  • one reason which come to mind is Stream-ability.

    if you download the video and play it, it might be fine. but users normally want to stream it.

    to stream it, the endpoint from where you stream it needs to be near you.

    if you are in the US and will stream something from a European server, you’ll have problems. and even if you don’t, that cannot be considered the norm.

    that’s why people use CDNs, and they are a huge business.

    so there’s an advantage to have a close to you instance, which has as much locally present content as possible


  • Also, why can’t videos use torrent technology to serve the data by other viewers?

    from what i read, they do.

    i think the problem is the kind of distributed systems it was designed to be vs the kind we are talking about.

    PT won’t be, at the current state of propagation of content, redundancy and accessibility of content, a replacement for YT or similar.

    it could be, but today it cannot.

    there is another post mentioning how if certain Lemmy instances keep growing they’ll need economic support.

    it smells PT, the way it’s organised today, needs support right now.

    there are various ways to optimise data propagation and replication for scalability of content.

    I think the discussion needs to be open towards this question






  • as everything this has contexts in which is valuable and contests in which it’s not

    don’t quit because you’re demoralised. don’t quit because you’re tired. don’t quit because it’s hard.

    if your first natural response to adversities is flying instead of fighting, it’s telling you to fight, because you are likely the only person losing when flying.

    it’s not about never change your mind. never critically think what’s the situation and if it’s still worth it.

    or check up with yourself and see if that’s still what you want.

    after all leaving a situation you don’t want anymore, it’s not quitting, it’s moving on

    it seems just semantics, it’s about knowing yourself and being honest with yourself.

    nothing is black or white

    so you can!?!

    I can see my lemmy.ml uer from mastodon and even communities (called groups on there).

    From the smell of it it seems something that mastodon allows, for specific federated services, but it’s not out of the box for all activitypub fediversed services/instances

    Edit: what i find strange is that there is a clear way to verify websites to me, with a rel=me relationship. But there is no clear way to say “those other federated identities are the same of me”.

    I get that the rel=me way is well known and well used, but allowing for this concept in the protocol of a federated service seems to be important.

    At least, I care about the concept of digital identity and I would think for a distributed and federated and ever evolving network like the fediverse, this would be quite a common place to be
