Why do so few apps (besides browsers) seem to support it? E.g. Win10 photo viewer and seemingly all my messaging apps

The format itself sounds good, and I see it everywhere online, but is there some reason it’s unsupported?

Person, place, thing? That’s called a Noun

Jokes aside, I think I’d call them services or platforms

I removed Edge and IE on my work computer and the only time I had trouble was when I tried to open the built-in manual in some non-Microsoft software and it failed.

I think it used some embedded browser component that Edge or IE provides

That’s how I got started. Followed their guides through TNG, DS9, and VOY and was not disappointed

Yeah, I wonder what the cost breakdown is for transcoding, storage, streaming, etc.

I’m reading their FAQ here, but I’m still not sure how the money and hosting side works yet https://help.odysee.tv/category-basics/whatisodysee/

Edit: looks like it’s at least partially open source, maybe fully. It’s centrally-hosted and funded by ads, premium subscriptions, and some sort of crypto scheme that can boost a video’s discoverability

Fair point. I watch a lot of YT and block ads (though it sounds like they’re finally cracking down on that). I support some creators on Nebula and Patreon, but I guess YT Premium is basically like those.

Yeah, good point. The others are mainly hosting text and some images

Speaking of, got any good peertube channels? Tbh, I’m more familiar with nebula and floatplane - where YT creators made their own platform. Maybe that’s where things are headed

According to this you can even follow a peertube channel from Lemmy, though I haven’t been able to get that to work from either side. Curious if anyone else has?
