Yep it has no content at all I would ever want to watch and I tried to give it a fair shake. That said I recognise YouTube is pretty much the Monopoly of all Monopolys and don’t know how to fix that.

Yeah I think along the same lines can only hope if servers are compromised like this they get defederated immediately to make a point, ultimately though I think the design of the fediverse pretty much keeps it safe but some servers may unfortunately face consequences

Not saying you are wrong if anything though I think Reddit is probably the next obvious victim after TikTok they’ll simply point to the Chinese Tencent who own shares and the next thing you know Musk will be part owner.

Fediverse I think will probably be the last hit simply because it’s small and because of the design can’t be hit easily, wouldn’t surprise me if they just targeted the biggest servers though.

Bane of my life as about a year ago my dad switched his sim and immediately started pestering me about not being able to log into his accounts.

Yes he got rid of the old number completly and expected me to somehow make his logins work. This is still going on to this day when he complains to me something doesn’t work it’s because he’s tied it to his old phone number.

Its pretty much Gen X who grew up programming their own games on Amigas and things like that, Milleniums grew up with iPads and game consoles.

When Gen X dies off I’d say the world’s going to have a lot less being fixed all round unless AI gets a lot better.
