Yes

Problem is a video sharing platform is much more storage intensive than a link or text sharing/aggregation platform

because in fact, it was something they did to extend the life of the device

The fact is that is what apple says is the reason. Maybe they are trying to influence the user into buying new hardware by making the phone seem more sluggish.

I understand your points about the ecological impacts of creating and buying new technological devices. But youtube is not the sole driver in making people new devices. People buying new stuff is the goal of the entire tech industry. I dont see how switching to peertube or other FOSS alternatives will lead to an reduction in ecological impact. Hardware companies will still be making new phones, laptops, etc and people will still be buying these new devices.

Dont get me wrong, i would love for FOSS alternatives to youtube becoming mainstream but the ecological impact argument does not seem to hold at least not in my eyes.

The paper was an interesting read though. Thank you. I will try to hold on to devices for longer from now on (hopefully as long as possible)

potential low tech hardware

Low tech ≠ efficient

I have an old laptop that is low tech and uses only 15 watts of power. Compared to that my laptop has a general power usage of 35 watts or more on heavy CPU intensive tasks. On face value it seems that the old machine is more power efficient but that is not the case. The amount computing power provided for that 15 watts used is very low and like 15 times lower than the computational grunt provided by the new machine which makes the new machine 5-6 times more efficient.

Edit - it would great if you can link the scientific papers you mentioned. I am by no means an expert and love to be proven wrong and learn something in the process

Yeah it does work me and @[email protected] tried it out

I don’t know how private it is

This I have no idea about next l maybe the admins can illuminate us regarding privacy

Yeah i searching and figured that out. Though it is somewhat clear that messaging is not lemmy’s forte and considering that lemmy main purpose is being a link aggregator i guess its better this way

I will take warhammer 40k gladius if you don’t mind.

Will send keys in a PM.

Does lemmy even have private messaging¿? I haven’t seen any option anywhere

you think your time is worth nothing, then okay.

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you really think that people who use or try to use open source software do not value their time?

How will we able to choose whether we want to give access to the data when we do not own the data in the first place(atleast with how data works now)
