Libre Culture
Is there a way to release a work under a copyleft license without preventing other people from sharing a copy of it on YouTube (only allows selecting standard YouTube license or permissive Creative Commons license) and similar platforms?
As far as I know, open file formats have become the standard for basically all industries and types of files. However, some of them, like the Microsoft Office Formats, are still proprietary. I have seen Open Office documents and Ogg being recommended for Office documents and audio files, respectively, but I'm somewhat confused about other types of formats like video.
Hello,
I started using gemini almost a year ago when I had recently learned about it. after some time using it I got busy with my life and forget that this awersome protocol exists.
today I was hanging out in IRC and found #gemini . It made me check it out after this much time and it surprised me that gemini is still active. however when I searched for stuff using gemini search engine I found a ton of dead links on the first page. it was disappointing. bbs.geminispace.org is still alive and the last post was 7hours ago. there is also a youtuber name zaney who attempted to port entire gentoo wiki to gemtext, but it seems like he lost interest in doing so.
what are some cool gemini capsule which are still active and you use it?
Any websites, comics, news or anything.
I aim to create a high-quality index of CC (Creative Commons) sites to make it easier for enthusiasts to access and use daily. My goal is to enhance content accessibility. I also plan to develop an Arabic version for Arabic resources and eventually expand to make it multilingual .
Here is my website link: https://crtv.pages.dev/
Please criticize and offer more resources as much as you can.
I am working on creating a website that list the services/sites that serve their content(news,articles, photos, videos,music, webcomics,..etc) under creative commons licenses.
I ask from anyone who read this post to comment with whatever resources they know about that are licensed under creative commons.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this.

some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

I am trying to understand an idea that Richard Stallman proposed to promote music "in the age of computer networking." This is from an article titled Ending the War on Sharing: https://stallman.org/articles/end-war-on-sharing.html
> We could support musical artists with public funds distributed directly to them in proportion to the cube root of their popularity. Using the cube root means that if superstar A is 1000 times as popular as skilled artist B, A will get 10 times as much of the tax funds as B. This way of dividing the money is an efficient way to promote a broad diversity of music. > > The law should ensure that record companies cannot confiscate these funds from the artists, since experience shows they will try. To speak of "compensating" the "rights holder" is a veiled way of proposing to give most of the money to the record companies in the name of the artists. > >These funds could come from the general budget, or from a special tax on something vaguely correlated with listening to music, such as blank disks or Internet connectivity. Either way would do the job.
What I'm having trouble understanding is whether the artist (musicians in this case) is getting paid per-listen, or if they are getting paid as a percentage of the total fund.
Is the idea that if an artist was responsible for 8% of the songs played on a platform, they would get 2% of the funding?
Has anyone else read about this idea? I wish it had been explained a bit better.
EDIT: I emailed RMS and he replied. Here is how the cube root system would work. I have labeled the quotes for clarity:
>RMS: I am assuming a program managed by the state, which measures the popularity >of each musician and distributes a certain pool of money among them. > >auomaticdoor75: Let's use a very simple example: let's say there's a treasury that >will pay out $10,000 to three different artists. Artist A was >responsible for 67% of the songs played on the platform, Artist B >was responsible for 20% of the songs played, and Artist C was >responsible for 13% of the songs played. Using your cube-root >idea, how much money would each artist receive? > > RMS: The cube roots are 0.8750340239643772, 0.584803579016074, 0.5065797363612384 > Add them and you get 1.9664173393416897.
> The A gets (/ 0.8750340239643772 1.9664173393416897) > = 0.444988968749288 of the total. > > B gets (/ 0.584803579016074 1.9664173393416897) > = 0.29739545482845087 of the total. > > C gets (/ 0.5065797363612384 1.9664173393416897) > = 0.2576155764222611 of the total. > > I do not say that the cube root is the perfect function to use. > It gives an example of how such a system can work. > A different function might be better.
So, it seems like you find the cube root of each person's percentage of the web traffic, divided by the sum of all the cube roots. The resulting quotient is that person's share of the treasury.

I want to try to learn Spanish on my own, right now I barely know anything. Asking in the libre culture community because I know a common answer is duolingo but I don't want to install an app store other than f-droid.

I was wondering what lore universes exist where stories and games could take place in.
First ones that came to mind are The Battle of Wesnoth and Pepper & Carrot.
Though can anybody think of any further?
Public domain is also valid, but it has to pd world wide and I’m not sure what that would mean. Authors definitely need to at least dead since 1943, but I don’t know if there were any countries that had more than death+80 (Spain, Colombia and Equatorial Guinea).

A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.
This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn't accept it because they don't feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.
Features:
- No tracking whatsoever
- End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
- Track baby's feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)
