My software chops begin and end with: 10 PRINT “HELLO, WORLD” 20 GOTO 10

Good to hear devs are working on it.

Thanks for the info.

In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for ‘elena rossini’, compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn’t include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.

???

Saw your reply, tried new search: “Introducing the Fediverse”… 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched… and it works! (Although… how did you get it? I can’t see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!

Also, tried searching for “[email protected]”

• a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
• finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)… but no videos… not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I’m on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name… no videos.

???

So, there’s a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video… if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance’s search bar.

Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).

A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.

I’m still new to the Fediverse; how do I view that link in my home instance of Peertube (peertube.wtf) so that I can save, upvote, comment etc?

Me neither.

• Browser: Zen (mod of Firefox)
• Extension: LibRedirect (pre-installed in Zen IIRC)
• App: FreeTube

I click on a YouTube link and it opens in FreeTube, no ads.

Every now and then, videos won’t play because of some change by Google, usually it’s just a day or so until FreeTube releases an update that works again.

My school (UK, 1980s) offered Mandarin as an extracurricular course. I signed up, showed up… and was the only student. One-on-one classes the rest of the year :)

(Just don’t try grilling me in Mandarin now, though.)

There was also the flag of the defunct Republic of VIetnam

The depth of anti-communist feeling in the Vietnamese community, which includes many military veterans and former government officials, meant that it has always leaned strongly Republican. While Asian Americans as a whole voted 2 to 1 for Joe Biden over Trump, Vietnamese Americans supported Trump over Biden, 57 percent to 41 percent. A deep animus toward China, amplified by misinformation in Vietnamese-language media, bolsters the support for a president they see as tougher on foreign policy. This dovetailed with their anticommunism.

I’m fairly sure this is less “pro-Russia” and more “anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie”.

While Law & Justice’s [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin’s a lot, IIRC they’ve been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it’s a personal beef now since the party boss’s brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.

Are you sure this is not The Onion?

Why would anyone not like Russia or North Korea? They’re led by great guys, lovely guys. So strong! The haircuts. The uniforms!

Only started with Reddit last year, left when the country it’s based in started to threaten the country I’m in and a bunch of others, too.

TFA:

Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father

Arrested Development wiki on the Milford School:

Children should be neither seen nor heard.

Every time the Milford school is mentioned in the show, there’s a shot of Milford alumnus Buster Bluth exercising the skill he learnt there of avoiding being seen.

I’m in the middle of an AD rewatch, noticed the school’s name and made a quick, crappy joke on that.

Obviously the situation is actually horrible for the kid in the article and in no way his fault.

Should have paid more attention in school
