Oops, forgot to link the original article. Fixed.

Okay, thanks. I guess it’s not possible at the moment then.

Wow, that’s crazy. I’m Australian (Australian Dad & Kiwi Mum) but I actually have Irish in my heritage. I am also the only one in the family to have red hair which was apparently a massive coincidence only possible because of DNA that by chance was on both my Mum’s side and my Dad’s side (I don’t know the fine details). Until I was 13-14, my eyes used to change colour between Green and Blue depending on the time of year. Now I’m approaching 23 and my eyes have consistently been green since around 14.

I got the green eyes. Didn’t know it was so rare.

I know that lossy normally lessens the image quality in the compression process, but Curtail has two options:

Lossless mode: Compresses the file by removing unnecesary data that does not affect image quality; thus reducing file size. Lossy mode: Compresses the file much further by lowering the visual quality of the image; thus reducing the file size but looking a bit worse.

After using the lossless mode, I’ve personally done very thorough image comparisons to see if there was any discernible difference between the original file and the compressed file. I could not find any visual difference.

In Curtails own words on their site “It supports both lossless and lossy compression modes with an option to whether keep or not metadata of images.”

It just looks like “Loo wan tee” to me.

Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word “creation” and the LUA programming language; and I’m preeetty sure LUA is pronounced “loo-wah” or “lew-ah”, I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be “loo-wun-tee”.

In that case, what I mean to say is that I want a program that compresses the video in a way that is not perceptible to the eye, while also preserving metadata and reducing the overall file size.

I’m not sure why “lossless” is not the right term, because that’s the term that curtail itself uses within the app. Is the term misleading? The app is designed for photos, not videos. It compresses each photo without losing any quality, and slightly decreases the overall file size without losing metadata. I want a program that can do the same thing with videos.

The console UI is just the Steam Big Picture mode but unlike desktop Linux is loaded into at startup. Although loading it at start up can also be enabled on Linux desktops even if you aren’t using SteamOS.

They no longer have ads https://odysee.com/@Odysee:8/nomoreads:f

And what FUD are you spreading? They collect hardly any personal data. In fact, the amount of data they don’t collect is one of the complaints some people who came from YouTube have for Odysee: They’re used to the sheer amount of statistics YouTube provides them from their viewers.

Done! I contributed $10 a few days ago. Hope to give some more after my next payment.

That makes no sense. The only hate one who believes COVID is a hoax might have is for the governments and/or pharmaceutical industry, but it is not an inherent aspect of the belief; I honestly have no idea where you got that idea from.

The point I’m trying to get across, is that you can’t simply say the platforms users are hateful, purely using only the comment section below this blog post as an example. Looking at the top 20 surface-level comments (not including replies), absolutely none of them are being hateful, and the majority are praising Odysee for their move; you’ve just specifically singled out the one single comment fifth from the top, that happened to mention COVID being a hoax, and labelled it as hate, and the whole platform as hateful, just because of your pre-concieved notion that the COVID hoax theory originally stemmed from hate.

I am defending Odysee’s community, because I’m an active Odysee user myself, and I know from experience what the community is like; I know that the community (overall) isn’t hateful. It’s only when videos get into controversial topics that things can become heated between users, but even then, it is usually just unharmful opinions and debates, and the exact same happens on YouTube every day. Comments inciting hatred or violence, which isn’t common, are removed by moderators when they are reported. I can’t stand being around toxic online communities, and Odysee overall isn’t one of them, otherwise I would have left the platform years ago. Like anywhere, including Lemmy, you choose which subcommunities to hang around in. And like YouTube, you can choose not to read the comments on a video and instead take it at face-value (I think most people do that anyway on YT). You seem to think that Odysee users are toxic, when I personally get attacked on YouTube by both trolls and angry people at least double the amount I do on Odysee, and my opinions aren’t generally considered controversial most of the time either.

Believing COVID is a hoax is hate? I went and read that comment and the guy was just upset at what appeared to him to be YouTube censoring his comments. That’s not hate.

Cool, yeah that’s fair enough. I was unsure about sharing my own channel here too, considering I’m very careful about my privacy.

Yeah, it’s referring to the memberships you can begin as a monthly donation to specific creators, not the Premium subscription that directly supports Odysee.

I just find them annoying. They won’t stop spawning in my base-area when I would rather see them travelling out in the wilderness. It’s improved slightly now that they drop the ominous bottle instead of immediately giving you Bad Omen.

Cool, thanks.

There is moderation, the ability to report content and comments, and community guidelines. Odysee having a complete lack of moderation is a myth, and I have personally had content removed by moderators before by reporting it.

I’ve never cared to generate income on my own channel, so I’m not sure how all of it works. But the main way that I know of is through channel tips. There’s a ($ Support) button below every channel and content upload, which lets you directly tip the creator. You can use Patreon or anything else if you want to, but the functionality is built in. Odysee gets a 5% cut of all the tips sent to channels. There may be other ways of making money, but I’m not aware of what they might be.
