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.
Oh so you're deflecting, OK.
Il a juste le sum de travailler alors que les autres sont en vacances. On t'a compris Macron !
Dunno about the rest but Diablo is a Hack'n Slash not a rogue-like or a roguelite.
Mandrake in 2003, I was young and didn't know what I was doing...
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).
Less efficient? How?
And I'm pretty sure I didn't say less work was done.
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.
The thing is creators should use libre or open content to put in their videos.
If you use copyrighted content it means you don't care about og creators stating that they don't want to use their work. What's so wrong about respecting creator's wishes about their work ?
Dunno.
