French conference in the Php Forum 2023 in Paris.

Edit : So there are 3 main reasons :

  • journals are driven by their communities, so to attract more people they relay the informations interesting the largest group of people : so proprietary software news it is!
  • talking about libre software is often tied with political engagement. Journalist often don't want to be put on a political side or another, so talking about libre software is difficult.
  • most libre software project just don't communicate toward journals and journalists. And when they do they don't soften the speech enough and always blame journalists to much about their own use of proprietary software.

Go play Hard Reset !

Cyberpunk is an action-rpg, so there is a bunch of dialogues, most of them are skipable. Lifepath have no importance on gameplay at all. Robots are the most boring ennemis in the game, but you should try phantom liberty cause it really put the emphasis on gunplay.

Because they are an advertising company.

With all that been said here, they also killed xmpp with hangout, so they're not friendly to Foss at all.

Funkwhale is the fedi alternative for music. You should go post your feature list onto their forum.

I just took a look at faircamp, it seems nice too.

Dogmazic.net is also a music platform (centralised) made with ampache.

I like how this kind of article just don't even try to talk about other streaming and download platform. It's really nice also to not talk about the ecological cost of music streaming.

Alternatives are unknown, just keep it like that!

So go vote, be in unions, call your representative about these matters.

This should be how the message ends.

Is your brother making games? If yes : there are several easy to use game engine like mentalo.app, Godot, gdevelop and such.

If your brother is mostly playing, then anything by Nintendo would be a good idea. Old consoles are cheap and if you have the Switch there are a lot of really good game on it.

Edit: And I second Minecraft or the free version (minetest I think)...

DaVinci is better, but it also provides licence for life. So it's proprietary but have a good relationship with the customers.

'Generally' is a really wide word. Better for what? For who? When? That's the all question...

Mots people do care about privacy, but most people see more pressing issues that goes first. It's hard to care about something intangible when it's hard to have a roof over its head, or to pay the bills.

Also musicians won't hesitate to put their audience at risk. They doesn't care about what they're asking their audience, because they 'feel' like they have no choice. Which is objectively wrong.

And musicians are often ignorant about copyright laws, so how can they protect their audience if the don't know how to defend them self?

YouTube has a bunch of issues:

1/ climate change:

  • A big centralised server needs lots of power, of cooling, a big pipe for upload/download,
  • algorithms, metrics, content id, big size imagery (4k), all this is really needing a bunch of energy in itself to run,
  • advertising in general is an ecological nightmare.

2/ monetisation:

  • content id is a gamble for creators. A video can be demonetised for the dumbest reasons under the pretext of copyright infringement,
  • no one knows how the algorithm works, it means one video can be suggested to a lot of people and the next one won't. So income is randomised,
  • the purpose of monetisation for content creators exist to legitimate the advertising and the monetisation of user's personal data's. Not the other way around. YouTube is not a platform made to retribute creators.

Going on Peertube could mostly fix every ecological problems for the lost of the uncertainty of the monetisation system.

Plus there is a psychological weigh on creators that goes with the monetisation and algorithm of YouTube.
