I like the idea and concept, but like Mastodon, you're a raindrop in the ocean unless there's an efficient way to collaborate and share. The "Federation" feature makes sense but the details of how that's done will really determine how useful the system really is.

I think one feature that would put PeerTube on the map, is an integrated way to stream directly to Smart TVs. If a content creator could roll out their own channel on Chromecast or Roku easily (keyword: easily) then they would have an angle that would allow them to offer something unique that you can't get from YouTube or Twitch.

It that's a feature, I'll set up a server right now.

This article is very misleading. Paypal has nothing to do with crypto, and will continue to not be dealing with crypto currencies. Paypal is merely allowing a third party company, Paxos to transact with its users to supposedly buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Paypal will still be dealing with fiat, not crypto.

Ted Cruz says it's, "election interference" not allowing them to spread bullshit lies that will affect the outcome of the election?

Reminds me of how Net Neutrality to them, goes against the First Amendment.

who are still competent to do their jobs

So a guy who spends his time creating an elaborate web site that promotes complete and utter bullshit that has the tendency of activating assault-weapon-toting psychopaths to shoot up pizza parlors, doesn't in any way indicate incompetence?

Wait... you're telling me that a guy who went out of his way to promote rumors that a DC pizza parlor was running a democratic pedophile ring out of their basement, might not be capable of understanding the repercussions of his actions?

What happens when they come back for more?

The same thing that happens when any other program ends. It ends. If you're on unemployment you have x amount of time before it runs out to find a job. If you're on food stamps, you have x amount of money to use in a particular time. People who are given welfare of this nature are told what the limitations are. If they squander those resources, it's their problem. Most people don't. So stop promoting this myth that giving people a helping hand turns them into perpetually needy drains on society. That's not true. All these programs have limitations and people know and accept it.

They "spent less on drugs and alcohol" because they were screened to not be into drugs or alcohol before they were allowed to participate in the study.

Participants were screened for a low risk of mental health challenges and substance abuse.

In other words, this was not random at all. The people in the surveys hand picked people who would be more responsible. Meanwhile the vast majority of actual homeless people probably wouldn't qualify for this, but when the study's results are released, this little tidbit won't be in any of the media coverage.

Slashdot has finally gone full circle and is editorial inserted among mostly ads, instead of the other way around.

Shouldn't this be marked as an advertisement?

So is it safe to say these "sidelinks" would be more like UDP than TCP? Just broadcast packets spewed out there to be forwarded?

Someone needs to launch a DNS service that sends telemetry hosts to nowhere. Or run your own nameserver and answer for the hosts you want to BL. Then you just set your DNS to match these new nameservers and Windows doesn't know.

Bitcoin fraud is basically a "victimless crime". The authorities aren't nearly as bothered by that as if something that affected corporate america and the 1% shareholders. The fraudsters were smart enough to at least not take money from those that would come looking.

Whole Foods customers are confused as to why the packaging on all their products seems to be heavily faded...
