An issue with the torrent scheme is efficiency. Networks of home computers will suck down considerably more power from (potentially) less than ideal energy sources than dedicated servers in well-planned locations (i.e. near reliable renewable energy sources, with backup generators). I don't see a way to have this without involving large institutions, whether private or public.

Regarding media creation, there's a middle ground between direct payment and government-sponsored: Universal Basic Income, or a related scheme of generic grants for art/education producers. Ensuring people don't starve or become homeless as they start projects or grow large enough to be sustained by direct payments from an audience could foster this sort of growth.

I've been really impressed by plexamp since I started using it 2 years ago. Feels like they've been cracking out loads of great new features in that time, and sonic analysis is at the core of my favourite: Guest DJs. The app has really changed how I listen to my music for the better.

I understand wanting to move away from plex, especially for tv/film stuff, but plexamp really feels like a passion project by some of the devs. I'd love to hear if anyone has any alternatives, but nothing else I've looked into hits the mark.

No, Wendover aren't on Floatplane. I just summarized, trying to match the tone from the LTTtranslator posts and linking it to LTT. Glad it's appropriate!

You're completely right, clickbait is pointless in a space dedicated to the channel in question (and just sucks in general!). As far as LTT goes, the wood one wasn't too bad so I didn't think to change the suggested title.

They're way better about titles on Floatplane (for, presumably, the same reason you outlined). "WATCH OUT Power Supply Makers! – LTT Labs Update" becomes "Labs Update - Power Supply Tester, Markbench, Metal 3D Printing", for example.

I only sub occasionally because I block ads on YouTube, and like to throw something in the pot time and again. I get the aversion to plastic, shame they don't take anything else.

Floatplane, it seems to me, pays a lot more attention to the media player itself. There are only a few lines in this half-hour video about working with Vimeo vs. another platform. The Nebula story is more about advertising than anything else.

 

Linus and Luke have talked on the WAN show about the differences between Nebula and Floatplane. This video outlines much of Nebula's history and goals.

What do you all think of the differences between the two services?

Would the Floatplane version of the title be sufficient? Usually less clickbaity over there (It's just "The All Wood Gaming Setup", no caps/punctuation).
