A case for preemptively defederating with Threads (kbin.social)

With Meta beginning to test federation, there's a lot of discussion as to whether we should preemptively defederate with Threads. I made a post about the question, and it seems that opinions differ a lot among people on Kbin. There were a lot of arguments for and against regarding ads, privacy, and content quality, but I don't...

People are staying on YouTube and enduring ads right now… Plus if Threads is federated they will be a part of the fedi, so no more reason to change. Why change to another instance, if you get on Threads without doing nothing and already are on the biggest instance ?

For the growing possibilities check what happened to XMPP. Is XMPP growing better now ? I don’t think so…

People won’t leave YouTube because content creators don’t want them to. That’s it.

And you really think that Threads in the fedi will means people on the Threads instance will know there is other instances with no ads? And you think they will care?

I mean there are ways to watch YouTube without ads for years. And most people still won’t uses them…

Moving easily won’t happen soon, because it’s not about moving (create a new account isn’t that hard), but it’s about changing habits. Changing a habit needs : to be forced on people (Meta’s way) or to be an act of will.

OK so you think what happened to XMPP won’t happen to Mastodon. Fair enough.

To me the growing part is mostly to get content creator to come to the fedi with theirs communities.

I also do think Meta will do anything it can to kill Mastodon if it have the chance to.

I replayed recently and it’s still a blast!

Rassemblement d'extrême droite à Paris : la justice autorise finalement la manifestation (actu.fr) French

Dans l’après-midi, la préfecture de Police avait ordonné la fermeture anticipée des lycées Louis Le Grand, Henri IV et Saint-Louis, situés à proximité immédiate du Panthéon, par mesure de précaution. Plusieurs centres de Paris I – Panthéon-Sorbonne ont aussi été fermés dès 18 heures....

Je dois avouer être toujours perplexe devant les chrétiens qui prônent le violence.

Il ont juste presque un millénaire de retard sur leur propre doctrine.

Le premier problème est que le premier problème n’existe pas. Le revenu de base ne permet pas forcément d’exercer des emploies plus rémunérateurs, mais d’exercer les emploies qu’on veut faire, nuance. J’ai pas le temps maintenant, mais la suite du commentaire arrive plus tard…

F4stL4ne,

Ah dans ce cas c’est peut-être juste une incompréhension en effet.

@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Le second problème, la aussi n’existe pas. Il y aurait certaines aides sociales supprimé, mais a priori seul les ultra libéraux sont pour supprimer toutes les aides sociales et de santé.

De plus de nombreuses personnes en France sont éligible au RSA et ne le demande pas. Remplacer le RSA par le RU ferai gagner du temps a tous le monde et supprimerait plein de paperasse et de bureaucratie.

Enfin quand on pense au montant de la fraude a l’assurance maladie par les professionnels de santé, on règlerait le problème d’un coup en supprimant certain remboursement de soin et en mettant la différence dans le RU. Ceci dit ça n’est pas le seul moyen de régler la fraude a l’assurance maladie (mettre plus de moyen dans les contrôles par ex).

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Troisième problèmes : en fait faut pas non plus essayer de faire faire des trucs au RU que le RU ne peut pas faire. A priori le RU ne peut rien pour les sans papiers, bah c’est normal, c’est pas sa fonction. Maintenant ça ne veut pas dire qu’il ne faut rien faire pour les sans papiers…

Moi aussi je peux me plaindre que le RU ne règle pas le problème de la faim dans le monde. Mais si je fais ça je ne montre pas un vrai problème du RU, je montre juste que j’ai pas compris de quoi je parle.

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Pour le reste effectivement il ne faut pas se leurrer, le RU c’est une mesure libérale. A priori les capitalistes sont pas trop pour, car ils sont majoritairement plus conservateur que vraiment libéraux (par exemple l’ouverture des frontières c’est une mesure libérale aussi et la plupart des capitalistes sont contre aussi).

Oui aussi, si le RU est d’un montant trop faible alors ça peut être un outil d’asservissement. Mais en même temps plus le RU est élevé plus c’est pas grave de gagner moins ! Le RU c’est un outil s’il est mal utilisé ça sera un désastre, s’il est bien implémenté il peut mener a quelques changements sociaux bénéfiques (cf les études sur le sujet).

L’un des objectifs du RU c’est de dire que l’argent c’est aujourd’hui le moyen de vivre décemment et que le droit a une vie décente conduit donc a décoreller le fait de pouvoir vivre dignement et décemment et le fait de devoir gagner de l’argent.

If you don’t care about google, which produce tools used on daily basis by thousands of people. I’m really curious about what do you care about?

Because I do understand having no time or energy to actively be against something. But is it possible to live, not caring about anything that’s this big, this always present in our lives ? That’s really like saying I don’t care about cars, I don’t care about drugs, I don’t care about libraries, I don’t care about TV, etc…

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

So if the fuel price get very high in the future, you won’t care ? Or if you don’t own a car, if in the future a law pass making you a second class citizen if you don’t own a car ? Won’t you then still don’t care about cars ?

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Oh so you’re deflecting, OK.

why do some people really dislike google??

i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never...

F4stL4ne,

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.

Quel périphérique pour une playliste musicale familiale ?

Ma femme me dit que ce serait bien d’avoir une sorte de playliste musicale qui plairait à toute la famille et accessible facilement dans le salon. Quand j’étais jeune, chacun avait constitué sont lot de CD qu’il écoutait dans sa chambre, éventuellement sur la chaîne familiale. Un peu de vinyles aussi....

Are there testable demos for alternative game engines?

Hello everyone.

I am getting interest in alternative game engines like Open3D Engine, Godot, Flax, Stride, Bevy, etc...
But I'm surprised how hard it is to find any "playable" demos of these. The only things I was able to find were screenshots and videos, but no proper executable that shows off their performance...
Do you know any demo for any alternative engine (by alternative, I mean, not Unreal or Unity) ?

Thank you :-)
(this is my first post on an ActivityPub community, sorry if I didn't post it the right way)

Faster, cleaner ans lighter. It’s faster because it’s lighter. It’s lighter because it’s made to be efficient rather than selling stuffs to you. It’s cleaner because it can delete its temp files by itself, something windows still doesn’t want to do.

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)…

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

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.

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…

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Widely use doesn’t mean the software is better. It just mean it’s difficult to not use it because of social pressure.

Audacity can have multiples inputs. If it can receive sound from one usbc-c it should receive two…

I would suggest to work with a proper sound card and standard mics rather working with USB mic you won’t be able to use for anything else.

Pretty much all this, plus:

  • it’s very well made for learning to dev,
  • Unity is garbage,
  • UE is soooo big.

The thing Godot is lacking is a real good way to work on adaptative music and sound design.

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.

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

I'm pretty sure the average successful YouTube content creators can invest in one computer to host his own content on peertube. For start that's all what is needed.

Video storage is a false problem, creators already store their content locally (to not lose the work if there is any issue).

On the technical side, others have answer that question here but in short:

  • decentralised with peer to peer means that the more a video is shared the more it will be available, even with small size pipes (when I'm watching your content, others can watch it through me),
  • you don't have to pay for hudge and hardware so less money wasted, but it needs a strong network of pipes, which can improve internet navigation as a all,
  • instances are nodes of a network, if one fails the others stays up,
  • better scalability cause p2p,
  • peertube can run on rather old tech so I'd say it's more efficient.

I will need more precise questions for better answers.

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

I don't see how billions of users connected on the same pipe can be more efficient than being connected each to a different point of a network.

I think YouTube is mostly a network of datacenter of his own right now, but that doesn't change anything since we can not see it.

On the energy usage, maybe, but this usage will be better spread across the earth than being concentrated on a few points.

F4stL4ne,
@F4stL4ne@programming.dev avatar

Less efficient? How?

And I'm pretty sure I didn't say less work was done.
