Or, we should not assume that Google's stance is correct, that sr.ht is expected to explain themselves. We should ask why is Google continuing on that path of DOSing upstream servers by default, not willing to use standards for properl

This way of thinking is the exact opposite of what we need to do in the IT for reducing our impact on the environment. 4 GB is an enormous amount of data. It's enough to listen to 21k hours of music, or having a small dump of all frenc

Why should you opt-in to a No-DDOS list ? Why is it not the default ?

So, do we agree that personal interests are more important than human rights for the US government? I don't agree with that view but at least it's honest to admit it.

Yeah, the only way things will change is if Google becomes a production studio. This won't be a better for situation for listeners nor for artists.

It's definitely not cheaper, but it's much better for the environment. It is clear today that digital pollution happens mainly during the production stage rather than the using stage.

I would go for a secondhand old laptop. Not only will it prolong its life instead of pollution by buying even more new machines, you have integrated screen and keyboard for debugging and a battery acting as a cheap UPS. Parts are easily f

And making an aircraft that doesn't emit outrageous amounts of CO2 with equal access to everyone, irrespective of the size of their wallet, is the hardestest. Boom doesn't solve this, so why should we praise it ? A technological p

The captation of knowledge is made possible in large parts due to some FOSS developers using non-copyleft licenses. If the receiver has no obligation to share, and makes money off of a product they build on top, expect them to not share any

IPFS still has poor performance for very little innovation. Bittorrent still works perfectly fine, and in fact peertube uses webtorrent to distribute content from browser to browser to offload the server. It is perfectly possible to mirror

The goal of Peertube and Framasoft, the org behind it, is not product and market building. Product and Market building is exactly what led us to the default video repository being run by a for-profit company with only its own interest at he

The more interesting point of view is why buy new hardware, with higher specs, if the old one still works ? We only have enough resources to build new computers for the next 30 years, after that it's going to be impossible. We have mil

Or, you could use AGPL software and license it under AGPL as well. Considering most money today is made in the hosting and servicing and not selling license, I don't see why you would bother caring about old fashioned ways.
