I post a fair amount of video edits. I’ve had quite a few people say that video playback is far from ideal for not just Lemmy, but the Fediverse as a whole. Is this mostly a 3rd party app thing, or a backend issue? I haven’t had much issue myself, but enough people have mentioned it that there is likely an issue somewhere down the line.
Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.
I was bummed when Flash died, just because the site would never be the same again. I believe they have archived most of it in the form of YouTube videos, but it just isn’t the same. The small interactive jokes were great!
I did this for a while unwillingly because I was in a rough spot and couldn’t pay my phone bill. Even with the ease of getting to wifi in modern times (I would often just go to a restaurant that doesn’t turn off their wifi), it just isn’t worth it and is a massive inconvenience. Not to mention yh3 call quality was often terrible over slow public wifi once I had the VPN going.I am grateful that doing this is fee, however. It was certainly better than nothing.
