Something similar happened to Slovene Iskra Triglav computer which was quite advanced for the time (capable of running three different CPUs) but then caught in between US-Soviet cold war/embargo while trying to sell them to Soviet Union.

And it turned out that beautiful clean coal is just that!

I applaud your for posting on peertube. And yes, you are right, peertube is at early stages, it lacks discoverability, apps (that'd run on chromecast and TVs in general) and monetization as mentioned. But it's also a chicken and egg situation. I really do hope it takes off for good.

What, they are picky? 👀 They could curate the content, not denying it.

Right. I wish more people who post on YouTube would post also on alternatives such as Nebula. I mean it's only profit for them, isn't it?

You could ban them from further sales. Or apply moar tariffs to them.

Even if they were stolen, you at least know the origin. But yes, it's not easy to stop leaks of publicly sold items.

There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization. And Patreon is not the answer because not many will bother paying each creator separately (it at all). To me subscription sounds like an ideal solution, but of course, not YouTube.

I wonder whether it'd be possible by tracking serial numbers. You might get the first customer.

Plenty of western tech still ends up in Russian weapons, it's nothing new. NVidia should be just put in queue.

Imagine having a bunch of SSDs at the same place. That has to be worth millions these days 🙃
