Yeah, sorry. While I was asleep there was a short power outage that took down the computer. I woke up an hour or so ago and turned it back on. So the site should be online now.

The difference here is that the game is gratis. Its the source code that initially didn't come with the game you get.

There is a difference between engine code and game's code. There is definitely custom code written specifically for the game. And that code should be published too. And it should be licensed too. And at the moment the way it is published kind of makes it unclear whether the game is libre or not.

Probably there was a server update or something. It works now.

There is evidence already in that video that suggests that he is starting to lean more left. Like he pointed out the ecological issues with AI. Even though he did say "I don't like to be that guy" before saying that.

It seems like he is already doing some doubts and thinking that are signs of moving the left direction.

I'm trying to be the optimist here. If we want not just PewDiePie, but his subscribe-base to change sides, we need him to be extra careful and extra soft with this sort of change. He seem to know how to form good streams of thoughts and convincing narratives. This would take some serious carefulness on his part. And it seems like he is already taking small steps to do that.

The fact that PewDiePie might have a right-leaning following, that he acquired by himself leaning right, which he now exposes to Freedom, using Libre Software, might actually be a good thing. Since exposing yourself to the philosophy of Free Software eventually leads to human rights and thus to the left, in a way. If PewDiePie course-correcting to the left like this, taking his enormous subscriber-base with him, IMO it is very good.

Oh you even got the iWarning lol

Maybe I am just overly optimistic. I don't know. But it seems like with enough gimmicky advertising tricks we could get enough people excited about giving money.

If there is a new gimmick there is, by definition, a change of some kind. Which means maybe all we need to do is tweak a few very easy to tweak parameters and that will unclog the flow of money. I don't know if that is what going to help. But not just try and see what happens?

That is because the problem is not solved yet. Again "We have to solve the money problem!"

That means it is nowhere near being solved. It will be solved when FSF staff ( from donations ) will have a life worthy of envy. And any fediverse admin too. And any libre software developer too.

I think that we need to have a panic making notification when some instance is below a comfortable ( of it's operator ) level of money. So that people could direct their money into stopping the panic. Basically I want automatic sense of urgency when and where it's needed. FSF does it well. When they are low on money they just make a progress bar on every page they operate, with a link to a donation page. It works amazingly for them, because it immediately creates a sort of soft panic about the health of the FSF.

Anybody who is on something like #fsf on IRC, or who helps to organize the Libre Planet. Or people who buy computers from the Ministry of Truth. Aka people that are as serious about this ( if not more serious ) than Richard Stallman.
