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.

It is not a spoiler in 2025 that the message of Luc Besson's 1997 film The Fifth Element is "Love". The fifth element itself ( a revelation in the end of the film ) appears to be Love. And the thesis is that Love is the thing that can defeat the evil in the world. But looking at the film and the behind the scenes drama around it, you can say that Besson didn't really mean love in its purest sense. But he was instead preaching a Bonobo Philosophy. Where "love" or in modern language sex, is used to deescalate conflict. Bonobos are known to fuck each other instead of fighting with each other, making themselves more peaceful. Looking at how horny The Fifth Element ( and Luc Besson ) is, the Bonobo philosophy theory sounds to be a much more plausible reading of the film. Making it very tragic indeed.
