Whatever you pick checkout Yousician if they have it. It’s great for learning.

Forgive me for only TLDW and not watching, but was ack mentioned?

I’ve never looked back.

OP using word ‘convinced’ is relevant here because whilst most people in USA ‘need’ a car (because there is no practical alternative to driving), they are being convinced every day that a private car is the only viable solution to transport in general…

… and then of course you get everyone freaking out when someone has the audacity to suggest that installing a dedicated bike / bus lane would mean less people need a car, and that would save everyone time and money.

Also while I’m ranting, I’m so over people harping on about how they can’t rely on public transit and that’s why they need a car. Like reliable and affordable public transport is some magical and unobtainable goal.

But then when gas prices inevitably get crazy high, or they get in a wreck, or traffic is a mess then that’s just The Way It Is and in no way an indication that maybe everyone driving a personal car for every single trip isn’t the most reliable or sustainable way to run a city.

What a lazy joke.

This. I’m a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.

Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.

To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.

Never going back.

Well, not necessarily, right? It could be funded any number of ways, but on YT you’re locked in to either watching their ads, or paying their premium.

Well yes, this is the problem isn’t it:

1. Monopoly X sucks
2. Federated alternatives developed
3. People complain that there’s not enough content on them

I’ve been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they’d built it on top of PeerTube.

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.

I’m ashamed to admit I had no idea, until I stumbled upon this video. https://youtu.be/Krl_CUxW14Y
