  • you can have a perfectly good experience using commercial streaming services through a browser (on x64, at least)

    I disagree. Even if it was “perfectly good” as you say, there is still no remote-centric interface, which is what this project purports to provide: “It is designed to be used with arrow navigation using remotes or controllers”.

    you can do a lot more things than just stream video when you have a computer hooked up to a TV. Games are an obvious choice

    TV devices exist for a reason. The reason being they are extremely energy efficient. Consuming <10 watts, while your 5090 gaming PC will be using 50+ watts the whole time.

    Further, PCs don’t support turning on with a remote/controller or HDMI-CEC (turning on the TV when powered on).

    I’m certainly not arguing against its’ existence but there are too many problems with this usecase that it cannot solve for a variety of reasons outside of its’ control and it would be a disservice to advertise this software without also making users aware of it’s many shortcomings.



  • There seems to be one channel dominating the site Transport Evolved.

    PeerTube is not a site. It’s software. Much like lemmy. Different PeerTube instances will feature different channels.

    Just wondering how can you earn money on peertube?

    All the same ways you earn money on YouTube, minus AdSense. But obviously a lot of people aren’t in it entirely for the money. I upload videos there just for fun.
