I don't get your argument. FreeTube is nowhere near as big as Wikipedia or GitHub. Are you not using any free software?

LibreOffice, Gimp, System Informer, Nushell, Thunderbird, Firefox, Steam, this Lemmy instance, Matrix, … I don't know what to tell you. I can go through all the applications and websites I use and I'll have a hard time finding some that sell my user data.

The executable being packed in an executable format means it has to be decompressed on each launch. If it doesn't it means it's not saving any space anyway.

I don't know what packing you're looking for, but Windows applications are typically installed with installers. An executable compressed executable goes against this; unless you want to pack installers.

Traditional file compression works well enough. People know to launch an msi or exe or read a README. Introducing non-standard tools is not necessarily a good idea, and certainly is not intuitive to users not already familiar with it.

There's some more, those are the top two in my bookmarks.

You'd do good of encrypting/7z-passwording if you don't want others to see the content, just to make sure not to have to trust the hoster.

Dunno about Germany. It had a big move to the right. The second strongest party is now right, passing two other traditional established parties.

In 2021, YouTube announced that it had invested "hundreds of millions of dollars" to create content management tools, of which Content ID quickly emerged as the platform's go-to solution to detect and remove copyrighted materials.

Content ID was introduced in 2021? Only 3 years ago? I thought it was significantly older.

Wikipedia says 2007.

Dunno if they meant something different or typoed the year.

Are you saying there should only be owning housing? What do the people that can't afford a house or flat do? Is it entirely the states job to build housing then and give housing away?

But at the point where you actually become a good landlord, it’s more of a public service than something you actually make money on.

Why is that a but? They're still a landlord, right? I really don't get the attempt of separation of the same thing.
