L'affiche de Princesse Mononoke en deux exemplaires. Sur la première, une seule princesse, et la légende: Mononoke Sur la seconde, la princesse en double, et la légende: Stereonoke

Quelqu'un sur mon live a fait cette blague et voulait une évaluation du public, je vous la soumets.

Cette illusion de la symétrie, c'est une illusion numérique Les groupuscules violents d'extrême droite sont aujourd'hui beaucoup plus nombreux à travers tout le territoire et ils augmentent en nombre chaque jour. Même en terme de victimes, macabre décompte, l'extrême gauche a fait une victime ces cinq dernières années, les militants d'extrême droite en ont fait onze, essentiellement des victimes ciblées sur des bases religieuses et raciales, des motifs profondément politiques. Depuis 1986, rappelle l'historien Nicolas Lebourg, 59 morts sont attribués à l'ultra-droite, contre six à l'ultra-gauche. C'est le retour des ligues. C'est un magma de groupuscules qui tissent un réseau de lieux, d'affinités, de thèmes.

Dominique de Villepin prend une position très claire (mais très verbeuse)

Le mythe de la symétrie "extrême-gauche - extrême droite" est une illusion qui sert l'extrême droite.
Quand la gauche est violente elle nuit à la gauche, quand la droite est violente elle sert la droite.

«Le problème est que juridiquement, je ne peux pas démettre un député de ses fonctions (...) »

HEUREUSEMENT que la présidente de l'AN n'a pas le pouvoir discrétionnaire de démettre un député du mandat qui lui a été confié par les électeurs !

« Beaucoup sont en situation de précarité » : la voie périlleuse des créateurs de contenu d’information, à mi-chemin entre journalisme et influence RÉCIT - Ces créateurs, parfois issus de prestigieuses rédactions, sont plébiscités par les jeunes. Mais il leur difficile de se financer, tant les mécanismes de monétisation des réseaux sociaux se heu...

Des députés veulent "labéliser" les créateurs de contenus. Allant même jusqu'à imaginer réserver certaines aides à ceux qui auront reçu l'aval des autorités.

On tue 150 ans d'histoire de la liberté de la presse et des médias c'est une folie. La création numérique est en danger.

Loot boxes, in-game currencies linked to real one, and ads. The two first are straight up psychological violence and abuse (and should be 18+). The third is too though not 18+, but I can't handle ads anymore. I can pretty quickly (or immediately) be disengaged from a game having ads.

How tech giants track you across the web, even if you don't use their apps Ad tech giants use near-invisible "pixels" on web pages to track what you do online, even if you don't have an account or use their apps. Thankfully, there is a solution.

I wrote some words for this.weekinsecurity.com about how social media giants (aka: ad tech companies!) track you around the web, even if you don't have an account or use their apps. Follows from a brilliant column in the BBC about TikTok's use of website "pixels" to track people's browsing activity.

You could have "!is_inside_tree() is true" errors when taking damage.

No worries, just wanted to bring it up because it hurts seeing great project and people collapse due to that, and it is not that visible unfortunately. Which is particularly accurate given game devs harassment stories. But I also wish for it to succeed for sure, just saying to be prepared as well.

I would read on testimonials from FOSS maintainers. There are multiple, and you can truly hurt yourself mentally if you do not set barriers or put too much pressure. Up to burnouts and suicides. Which occurs when popularity spikes. Which helps thinking about reasonable tier perks as well.

And yeah, simple donations can be an option as well. I already got contacted asking for where to donate, not with expectations, just as a thank you. Probably uncommon but still some (unpredictable) revenue to help.

Which means an additional health insurance, pension system, taxes account, and confused people if (when) it goes wrong because you are not in a box like a salary man with no other activities. That and, given your visibility in the Godot ecosystem, the lowered maximum revenue for things.

So yeah, many options, the best is to look at similar creators and see what they do. I would just add, as a French, to be ware of statuses. For me, I can't easily monetiza music because it must be done under the artist author status (artiste auteur). Which comes with a huge admin mess.

(5/6)

- some have higher tiers without additional perks just because their community asked for it!
- some give exclusive behind the scenes (People Make Games)
- Some sell part of their content (Logos by Nick).
- in FOSS, it's hosting or support which is usually leveraged. Or open-core, more touchy.

(4/6)

- Some give more weight to feature suggestion from Patreons.
- TerminalMontage and Extra Credits plays on visibility, the highest tier having their avatar.
- Hytale gives extra cosmetics for support tiers (one-time payment).
- some give early access or betas of content.
(3/6)

- Arcaniax make paid Minecraft plugins in addition to free ones.
- Scott Buckley offer higher quality and stems from his music.
- I saw someone on Bluesky doing the same but for materials.
- Some people do 1h workshops/support for patreon only users.
- Some offer priority support.
(2/6)

Following along because I'm thinking about it as well (while having no visibility though, and because the current job market is rough). There are many possible things, it depends what you are aligned with, and how much time you'd put in it I think. Some examples I have in mind:

Some creators do both, so you can choose between one time donations and the subscription model.

Small PSA

What do you think?

I'm still thinking about making a patreon or something alike for people wanting to help me make more foss stuff (tutorials, videos, tools, etc...) and games

But I need to make it fair and all, so it's not just me saying, "Can I have money, pliz?"

Europe 🇪🇺

L'Extrême Droite représenterait désormais le premier bloc politique en Europe. C'est un niveau d'adhésion jamais atteint depuis les années 40.

They can't punch each other yet, but they can certainly move around.

#godotengine #gamedev

Idea: an open-source Super Smash Bros game written in #Godot and people can raise PRs to add their own character of their own games to it, including links to their own games.

Réclamer des recherches sur un phénomène bien documenté et étudié depuis longtemps, c'est être anti-science. C'est la même chose que Robert Kennedy qui lance ses propres protocoles sur les vaccins car les anciennes ne lui conviennent pas.

La politique d'Emmanuel Macron a sans doute fait plus pour amplifier le climat de violence et démolir la santé mentale des jeunes que n'importe quel épisode de GTA.

If you use Adobe products for professional purposes, remember that this company can withdraw your access to its tools and your files overnight without warning.

If you are a student in any field that requires this type of software (for art, video, animation) and you are only learning how to use proprietary software, I strongly encourage you to learn about free alternatives on the side.

Screenshot of the rewritten version of Wav2Bar currently in development, showcasing a zoomed in canvas and the zoom UI at the bottom of the picture.

Development on #wav2bar was calm on January. Though I still added zoom to the rewritten app. The drop-down was replaced by an input for more flexibility (1 to 10000% ... in case of?). "It ain't much but it's honest work."

#foss #opensource #motiongraphics #audiovisualizer

They should be forced to open source it, it shouldn't be legal to just turn off software thousands of people rely on.

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
