Tomorrow ( from the time I'm writing it ) on 8th of November 2024 I will be presenting on SeaGL 2024 conference. I will be talking about how and why I made Moria's Race.

SeaGL being not organized by FSF is using YouTube for the online events. I talked to them about it. They don't have any time to change how they will present this year's event. But they are open to stream via PeerTube next year. Madiator2011 seems to be okay with them using his instance for it. And apparently he has enough bandwidth for it. Perhaps the recordings of this year's streams will be published onto Madiator's instance later.
↩ Reply For the meantime I found a solution for those who want to watch the presentation live. MPV apparently can play YouTube streams as they happen. So by simply typing into the terminal mpv, space bar, and the link to the stream, you should be able to see the stream without running any proprietary software.

Oh the copyright! The system that many believe is there to "protect" artists from exploitation. But the system that is quite clearly one big exploitation in and of it self. I hope that my readers here have a job. Since I want to draw a very interesting parallel. Would you work if there was no contract? Would you do anything if the person that supposed pay you, would not pay you if he didn't want to? Or you would first sign a contract and then do the job? In the world of copyright, there is no contract to sign. There is no boss that will pay you. You have to risk everything to do something that might or might not interest other people in the first place. And no copyright will save you if you did something so utterly uninteresting that nobody will even pay you for it. Let's explore this!
