Ευχαριστώ για την απάντηση! Ναι φυσικά, δεν αναφέρθηκα στον ρυθμό ανάπτυξής σας, απλώς αν ο στόχος είναι η διάδοση του ελεύθερου λογισμικού, θα έχει μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία η παραγωγή περιεχομένου σε μια γλώσσα που μιλάνε περισσότεροι άνθρωποι.

Αλλιώς καταλήγουμε με περιεχόμενο που ήδη από τη στιγμή της συγγραφής του, έχει εξ' ορισμού ένα παραπάνω εμπόδιο στο να έχουν πρόσβαση άνθρωποι, και μάλιστα εσκεμμένα από τον συγγραφέα. Συνήθως το ελεύθερο λογισμικό προσπαθεί να έχει και διάφορα πλεονεκτήματα, όπως η εκπαίδευση του κόσμου, η βελτίωση της ιδιωτικότητας του ατόμου, κλπ κλπ.

Γράφοντας ο καθένας στη γλώσσα του, είναι σαν να λέμε ότι μόνο οι λίγοι που μιλάνε την γλώσσα αξίζει να χρησιμοποιήσουν πχ ένα λογισμικό που έχει μεγαλύτερη ιδιωτικότητα. Αυτό προφανώς δεν συμβαίνει άμα κάνουμε τις ίδιες ενέργειες αλλά χρησιμοποιώντας μια γλώσσα που μιλάει ο μισός πλανήτης

Οι άνθρωποι που μιλάνε αγγλικά, είναι πάρα πολύ περισσότεροι από εκείνους που μιλάνε γαλλικά, κι αν πρέπει κάθε κείμενο να το ξαναγράφουμε 200 φορές σε 200 γλώσσες, αφιερώνουμε ενέργεια που θα μπορούσε να βοηθήσει και με άλλους τρόπους το έργο

I don't always like it much either, but we do need a common language for exchanging information etc; there is already too much fake news, misinformation, and echo chambers without having a language barrier.

Δεν πειράζει, μπορείς να μην μιλάς αγγλικά εσύ και να έχεις πρόσβαση σε λιγότερο περιεχόμενο στο Internet 🤷

We strongly believe that Free-Libre software is one of the essential tools for achieving a Free-Libre society.

French-speaking audience

Why is your user target group mainly a French-speaking audience? It seems like hosting services in English would be more in-line with having a "Free-Libre society"; instead it is "Free-Libre society but only in French-speaking regions"

(I'm not from USA), but online I still prefer to use a language that almost everyone speaks, instead of creating content only few peopke can enjoy

(Μπορώ να γράψω την ερώτηση και στα ελληνικά άμα θέλετε να την καταλάβετε καλύτερα)

Nevertheless, I really am grateful for your work in Peertube and your other projects!

Really! 😅 I hate the elitism, interviews, etc of private trackers, so even though I have the knowledge and seed constanly, I only download from public trackers, in order to seed content that will remain public and accessible by everyone

Elitist a bit strong

Hmm you're right sorry, I don't know the specifics of e.g. your comment in this case, but it is frustrating when information is shared publicly, that might be of interest to someone, but the language used creates a larger barrier than needed 😕 And having a translator tab open in my browser just to translate every comment and post I read on the Internet one-by-one is not feasible. (I know e.g this is just one comment, but I'm talking about the bigger picture in general)

(In any case, thank you everyone for engaging in the discussion I started! I didn't expect so many answers 😅)

francophone instance

But, the community is hosted on lemmy.world, is lemmy.world francophone? 🤔 (Or you mean the original post?)

Δηλαδή θέλεις να μου πεις ότι εσύ όταν είσαι στο Διαδίκτυο κάθεσαι και κάνεις αντιγραφή-επικόλληση κάθε πράγμα που βλέπεις σε υπηρεσίες μετάφρασης;

Μπορείς απλά εσύ που κάνεις το σχόλιο να κάνεις τη μετάφραση για τους άλλους

Το να γράφεις μόνο στη γλώσσα σου είναι ελιτιστικό, περιμένοντας είτε όλοι να ξέρουν τη γλώσσα σου, είτε ότι μόνο όποιος ξέρει τη γλώσσα σου είναι άξιος της πληροφορίας που γράφεις

Σε κάθε περίπτωση, κάνει την διαθεσιμότητα περιεχομένου στο Διαδίκτυο χειρότερη

Ρε, ψήσου να μιλάς κι εσύ αγγλικά, όπως έχουμε ψιλοσυμφωνήσει όλοι στο Διαδίκτυο

Αλλιώς δεν βγαίνει η φάση να μιλάει ο καθένας τη γλώσσα του

...which nation?

I'm curious, why do people make these comments? If the op wanted an answer from an LLM, they would have asked an LLM...

I can live with the risk of losing my steam account

Well that's you, most people wouldn't like it very much if the suddenly lost all the games they paid for :P

(The best option, of course, is to buy from GOG or itch.io etc, in order to own the copies of games you buy)

Where do you see if a key is bought with stolen credits card data?

Of course you can't 😅 What I searched for is news articles about this happening in the past

• These keys don't magically appear from somewhere, developers need to generate them on Steam's UI and give them to sellers
  • Maybe they sell them in bulk? It probably benefits them, since they can sell like 10.000 keys or sth at once, even if they are at a lower price
• I tried to search, and only found one case where the product being sold was bought with stolen credit cards.
  • But this can literally happen every time you buy sth from a random Amazon store... E.g. the mouse pad you're buying can be from a larger shipment ordered using a stolen credit card
• Of course it's better to pay the full price on e.g. Steam. But if you're between buying the game from a key store, vs thinking of paying 10 times the price and always putting it off, I think the developers might even benefit because:
  1. they get money from the key seller, even if it's less
  2. They probably benefit more from the larger online user base, more reviews, recommendations to friends, hype, etc etc
• If it was that shady and problematic, Steam would start banning users registering keys sold on CD key stores (e.g. I think Xbox already does this)
  • The only thing I kind of worry about (but not related to us as consumers for now), is that Steam probably currently doesn't have a lot of benefit, since they're losing a sell, and still need to provide the bandwith and online matchmaking etc; so I'm hoping instead of mayyyybe banning users in the future, they could like charge users or developers like €0.10 for each key used or sth

(Edit: I read "privacy" instead of "piracy" 😅 But most of those still stand)

For emulators:

• L4-R4 select save state slot, L5-R5 save/load
• Not back buttons, but: Select + A/B/X/Y for Ctrl-Q, F11, etc

In general:

• Press R4 to start pressing A every 500ms so e.g. it picks the next level and various confirmation popups automatically
• Press L4 once to keep another button pressed, e.g. R1 in racing games

I don't remember any others off the top of my head, but the gist is that when I'm annoyed by some weird specific input I start fiddling with Steam input for a few minutes to try and make it work more easily 😅

Thank you for this tip! I saw your comment and I checked my 2FA app, Aegis, and it has a "Steam" option as well!

(When creating an entry, you can just select "Type: Steam" instead of "TOTP")

I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a decky loader plugin for it!

On accessing Youtube: I've been using FreeTube for years and it's great, it even has support for Sponsorblock, and your subscriptions are stored offline in the app, among other benefits. For the browser, there is also the Libredirect extension, which you can use to easily redirect to Piped or Invidious instances.

If you manage to get yt-dlp to work (btw check that you have the latest version), I've also used the "play with MPV" Firefox extension in the past.

Tasker: I haven't used it, but I've seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.

But that is my point: downvoting the news will not keep people from using it; the people who will want to use it will find it anyway.

In any case, people still want to be aware about it, especially the people who disagree and downvoted it, so they should have upvoted instead, in order to have a proper discussion about the issue they supposedly care about.

Trying to bury it in downvotes to make it disappear from "Hot" does the exact opposite.
