It can be can be, some French person just have to fork it.

Why dont they use SimpleX?

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.

Oh OK i didn’t know, thanks.

I use Silence it’s Foss.

Dongeon Keeper 2 for me. Killing scared heroes was really fun.

Do fedi or Foss games really need a roblox alternative ? I’m not sure… Do roblox teach you how to make games? Well it teaches you do build games for roblox that’s it. Is roblox the only place to find games for kids, surely not.

Will it be native on gnu/linux this time?

Please take the time to watch these two videos about Roblox :

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)…

Closed beta is for 07/2024.

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines Deus Ex Hotline Miami Unreal Tournament Journey Cyberpunk 2077 The Witcher Jet Set Radio All the Silent Hill (even Downpour) Colony Wars

There is so many good ones…

The Dark Mod of course!

Dunno about the rest but Diablo is a Hack’n Slash not a rogue-like or a roguelite.

Copyright laws, specially author’s right, have one good reason to exist : it legally tied up a work with a person or an entity. This allows to create a responsibility about the work itself. For the audience, it allows the audience to held responsible the author for the content of the work. Before copyright laws a work of art was the voice of gods and such…

Unless everyone have an instance near home :) which is the case for me on Peertube, didn’t checked for Lemmy though. I should check when I can. But for this to happen we need instances. Small, large, run by people, associations, communities, whatever.

Yes encoding is still a thing, but less analysis, online editing bullshit and advertising. So yeah Peeture is lighter than YouTube ;)

I agree that strict efficiency could be hard to tell on video diffusion only.

Google loves making new hardware/tech, but yeah they’re not the only one to blame on this…

In some countries they don’t have copyright, but they have author’s right.

Author’s right is apply to the work and is exclusively the property of the author until the end of times (literary). This right is apply automatically on the idea of the work (it doesn’t have to be made flesh).

It’s a moral right that make the author the only one to have paternity over the work and the keeper of the work’s integrity.

It’s also a patrimonial right as the copyright (the one to make money with), which is transferred to the children at death for 70 years.

The good thing with this is : the author is 100% responsible for what becomes of the work. The author have a hudge power. And artists should be held responsible for the things done with their work. The sad thing is authors mostly still behave has if the were exploited by labels and editors. The bad thing is the patrimonial rights should expire at death not 70 years later.

As others have said libre and open source licences are a way to gain that kind of control over the work under copyright laws.

Here is the study : https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/4238589?sommaire=4238635 It’s in French, I didn’t find something in English (maybe in the IPCC studies ). 47% of digital impact comes from users terminals (mostly from smartphone manufacturing).

Yes, but it doesn’t mean low tech hardware should always be replace by new ones.

I honestly doesn’t understand why everybody here seems to think efficiency=ecology. Mass manufacturing new hardware have a big ecological impact. As I said before things aren’t magically replaced by better ones. Old unused tech ends up burning in pile in Africa or Asia.

What’s the point of using like YouTube that keeps promoting 4k needs for better screen), instant access, streaming over download, advertising, things that have a judge ecological impact.

I agree with you, but YouTube is also a big part of the incentive of building more and more new hardware. Plus as I said before YouTube isn’t just for hosting videos but also metrics tools, content id, advertising, editing tools and such… All this needs also power to run.

Did you have any data regarding packet distribution on google services? Last time I checked (about 4/5 years ago) an email send from a gmail to a gmail traveled about 1,5 of the earth size. Which is a lot for 2 laptops side by side in the same room.

Lastly you’re trying to make this a debate only on the tech aspect but it is not. They are ethical points at stake and they are equally important I think.

There are tubes nonetheless, under the Atlantic ocean for instance… But I agree.

The major economic impact of the digital is making new teminal. The second is the streaming. I can find the scientific research about that if you like.

With this in mind, you are telling me that a streaming software running with potential low tech hardware and using p2p (allowing for packet to NOT travel 3 times around the world before reaching destination) will not be better for the environment than a centralised video system running 4k formats and advertising everywhere?

Again, maybe I’m missing something here. And yes hardware running uses power, yes datacenter are more power efficient (I already talked about that in the thread).
