Lol you're delusional if you think that most people would want others imprisoned for years for conspiring to cause traffic or even to cause it.

I prefer this Ubuntu

Brilliant take. What's it like being a reactionary with leftist aesthetics? Does Putin pay you for this comrade or is it all of your own volition?

We believe anti-fascists exist and are extremely important. You just seem to be an idiot.

I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

  • YT videos don't need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
  • Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
  • Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
  • Doesn't need YT scale. Tons of YT "content" is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don't want to.
  • 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn't great). Don't need 4k for most videos.

Just adding to the chorus that while it's cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.

The fuck is with these stupid bots that try to turn every conversation into "muh immigration"

Yeah. Society is responsible for the outcomes of its children. It shouldn't personally hurt your feelings but it should motivate your actions.

I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there's probably little to no sound dampening.

It could be but also datacenters are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.
