  • Well viewers by country would require an external service in order to be reliable to my knowledge. I think it’s possible to anonymize while also retaining the portion needed for origin lookup.

    Everything else seems fairly trivial since you connect to the instance and they send you data. It can all be metricized based off data sent, rewinds/skips (in the case of audience engagement), simultaneous connections/peers, etc. There’s probably multiple ways to obtain this data really and I’m glad they are getting it! Pretty minor data that has a lot of use to creators in exchange for using the service is a-okay for me but that’s just my opinion.

    I found some more detail in the github for how they check view count, could probs find more if you dug around:

  • I think a simple video editor is only an enhancement. All it does is let you add watermarks, change start/end time and add an additional video intro. All of these really surround content protection and legal liabilities.

    Seems like the feature could also save admins some overhead by swapping bandwidth for re-uploads to CPU power for transcoding. If there’s ways to limit how often videos can be edited or allow admins to shut it off with a toggle that would be ideal.




  • Not to blow your mind too hard but there’s also e-scooter rentals too :p

    They are a scourge in my city because you can just take em and bring it back whenever since they are GPS tracked and they have your card info. Weekends with the students are a little hectic.








  • People love to be temporarily outraged and especially love to enable others to be outraged on their behalf, if you make authority the target then it becomes a dogpile. Same powerful feeling with half the effort. Outsource your outrage today!

    Also if you ask me, r/place is all about humans working together to create and all the politics that come along with such an endeavor. The creations are awesome but the politics, discussion and reasonings that happen to take us to that point are the REAL entertainment. If this is what will happen every year then I’m here for it, let’s kick back and watch the fireworks.
