I’ve only done it for a year now, but I’m giving CHF 100.- (around 100$) equally shared between all the open source projects I’m using a lot.

I keep a list to remember all of them and I update it every year.

And then I’m adapting to the platform they use to get money.

Yeah clerk.

What’s the point on commenting on something when you know you’re gonna be the only one doing it.

So I guess a few more people would be nice on Lemmy.

While I guess what you’re saying is true, I haven’t been confronted with such things during my 1-2 years on Lemmy. It also depends on the communities you subscribe to and political ones are probably more subjected to violence than others.

I wouldn’t mind paying a monthly subscription to the creators I enjoy in Peertube.

I’m already doing it through Patreon, but doing through Peertube would be better as these creators would see that the money is coming from a Peertube user.

Ok Thanks for the info. I might check it out 👍

It’s an interesting article and I’m also starting to think more and more about game preservation.

I don’t understand why a company like Sony wouldn’t provide you a way to play ps1-3 games on your ps5. I would even be ready to pay for it.

There might be some technical problems I’m not seeing, but people can do it on older pc’s…

I guess the whole video game industry has to think about preserving its own history.

I don’t know if open sourcing games would help, but something needs to be done.

Even playing a game like Sim City 2000 on pc is proving challenging now on Windows. I would want to play it on Linux but I can’t imagine how difficult that would be as the game isn’t even listed in Proton DB. And the VM solution would probably not work as Steam wouldn’t support something like Windows XP…

It looks like a great service, but since I’m already paying for cloud storage (kDrive from Infomaniak) I wouldn’t want to have another subscription.

Although I wouldn’t mind paying once for an equivalent to Google photos which would be storing and going through my pictures on my cloud storage.

Does anyone knows if such a program exists?

Yeah Lemmy is really a perfect replacement without any big downside. I really enjoy the community and the help you can get from it.

I’d be really happy about anything bringing more people on Lemmy and the Fediverse, so I wouldn’t complain about it.

Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture as some people seem to be scared of such a move.

I was talking about channels, reviewing games and so on.

Not the odd homemade video…

Something that you could follow long term to keep being informed, like IGN or gamespot for instance.

I still have to really try it, but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…

Give what you can and if you can’t it’s also okay.

I’m only giving 1$ a month to the Linux Experiment, but, according to him, that’s way more than what he would get from me watching his videos on YouTube.

I’m also donating 100$ a year to many open source projects, but I might have to give up because of financial troubles too…

Some of them can be supported through Patreon and they’re getting way more money than through YouTube.

But it’s through that it lacks content and it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.

I guess so many countries are in the same position. Of course none of them is exactly in the same position, but almost every country is using Microsoft products.

To me this sounds crazy as you could have two enemies relying on the same company to provide an OS for them.

In a way, it would make sense for every country to have their own Linux distribution, tailored to their needs. I’ve only heard about India, some states in Germany doing this, but it seems like the perfect strategy.

My country is really regarding about what its employees are doing with the citizens data, but I guess they’re still relying on Microsoft to store all that data in many different countries.

Is it also on iOS? I couldn’t find it and I’m stuck on iPhone because of work.

I’m using peertube quite a lot to follow the Linux Experiment on Tilvids and it works really well.

It’s true that finding other creators to follow looks difficult and the search result aren’t giving you much.

It’s a shame as it makes me keep relying on YouTube for everything gaming (PlayStation) related when I would want to use it less.

Maybe it’s gonna become easier when the upcoming mobile app is launched.

Thanks for the advice, but, for now, I can’t picture myself managing a professional phone backup without a GUI.

Had it been just a tinkering phone maybe, but not my professional one😇

Yeah but I’d still need an Apple program and a Windows VM, so it wouldn’t change a thing 😅

OrganicMaps works really well even with Apple Carplay. I’m now a 100% relying on it.

Yeah thanks I’ve read about it but the terminal part is probably above my really modest Linux knowledge for now.
