The second most offensive thing about my jury duty orientation is that they're playing the "intro to jury duty in California" video off YouTube.

@foone What... what was the first most offensive thing?

@da5nsy they've got a PowerPoint looping on the screen, and two out of three of their inspirational quotes about "trial by jury" are from people who owned slaves

"lemme just use Microsoft Edge to watch this YouTube video..."

YOU'RE A GOVERNMENT, FUCKING ACT LIKE IT

At the very least save a god damn mp4 file to a local drive.
Right now you can't do trial by jury, something mentioned in the constitution, if one private company is having a bad day.
That's a problem.
And what, do you have all your courtrooms pay for a premium account, just so you don't have ads for pewdiepie before your courthouse video?
You know what that monthly fee could have gone to?

HOSTING YOUR OWN VIDEO FILE

They turned off comments, probably because they were all full of people yelling about jury nullification

Back when I worked for the federal government we had to avoid using private cloud products and such and while that was pretty limiting technically, I definitely prefer that world to the one we currently have, where government agencies are making heavy use of private sites and getting "official" accounts.
Like, my local sheriff's office only publishes updates on Twitter, and is therefore subject to all the policy changes happening there thanks to Elon's purchase of it.

Does California have their own official governmental mastodon instance yet?

foone,

Because it's not about one service versus another, it's about having official government shit being subject to the whims of private businesses

catty,

@foone putting the video on some google drive would be free aswell and im not aware of ads there

@catty it still runs into the same issue as depending on a private company to host it. They have their own website, surely it can handle a couple hundred megabytes of video

@foone is it their channel or did somebody pirate it?

@rexfuzzle their own channel, apparently.
