One thing, i think there is a wider debat that needs to happen about what is the actual point of gaining money with music, what is it, what it means, in what conditions, etc. Taking the time to properly explain what the industry want from a music creator, etc.

For alternative streaming/DL you have archive.org, funkwhale, dogmazic.net, even jamendo is an alternative. Peertube could be a streaming alternative as well

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!

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)…

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…

Closed beta is for 07/2024.

Exaile or Clementine?

Sanitarium.

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.

To lean onto doom you can still go Black Sabbath or Paul Chain’s stuff. On rock prog : Zappa, Magma, Jethro Tull, Ange and early Genesis. Maybe some Prince? Some records of Devin Townsend are really prog but it’s more metal. There is a lot of prog in extrem metal as well…

Yes or granting usage. Being an author isn’t always about forbidding, it can be about changing the work or adapting it as well.

The author can defend the work against uses that would change the meaning of the work itself (integrity).

Lastly, the author can’t deny the work is his own. And for a bunch of artist this is a bummer.

All this is more of an author’s right thing, but I think it’s slowly coming to copyright laws as well (online publication).

You need a law of some kind, that will make clear the relationship between the author and the work. A simple registry is just there to retain informations, it doesn’t make magically people care about things… Laws are better for this.

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.
