le problème n'est pas tant l'injection de liquidités que la répartition de celles-ci, allant toujours au même "élites" financières et jamais dans l'économie réelle ... d'où la nécessité d'une monnaie libre et centrée sur l'humain (à la TRM ... )

No way! Last time we ended up talking about flying cars in the 2000s and now we're all very disappointed :(

Let's talk about TARDISes. That never disappoints!

le problème c'est qu'actuellement, peu de gens se sont penché sur une solution permettant de rémunérer vraiment les créateurs sur base d'une participation libre, mais aussi d'un catalogue fourni et bien présenté... c'est soit l'un soit l'autre : catalogue fourni et documenté, mais gratuis pour les artistes, ou très peu rémunérateur comme sur les plateformes propriétaires, ou participation libre mais pas de traitement de l'information alors qu'il y a ponction financière comme Flattr...

à quand une mise en place d'un véritable structure commune permettant la rémunération et la documentation (critique?) des oeuvres... il y a du travail... mais peu de moyens.

En tout les cas, il faut travailler sur les standard de mutualisation de flux, c'est certain, pour éviter le problème d'"une plateforme de plus" ...

To answer your question, @Evan Prodromou: "It's not, and Mozilla must adapt or die."

That said, adaptation is necessary to survival but the community must continue to push content onto platforms that are owned by the community so that DRM is a non-issue for the things people create. Companies will do what they want, but that doesn't mean we have to follow them like sheep.

We (my husband and me) try to educate our son on that when something is broken, first we try to repair it, if it is not possible, then we try to give it a second life, etc. We (broke* and) repaired together clothes, toys, books, computers... We have used broken things to make new toys, created costumes... When we want to do something we look first at the materials we have at home.

( * sometimes things break accidentally, other times, when trying to figure out new ways of playing or trying to open them to see their parts. Toys are for playing and learning, and that includes a bit hacking too, isn't it?).

I don't buy a different type of biscuits or flakes or whatever until he finishes the last one he chose. If he's bored, we play with combinations or decorations to make them more fun.

When we go to do the shopping, first we make a list at home. If there are temptations in the mall, then I can say "we didn't come here to buy that, it's not in the list. If you want it, next week, when we make the list, we talk about it".

We borrow books and films from the library, handle them with care (no hacking allowed with those ones!), and return them back, almost every week. I wish there were similar places as libraries, but for toys! (well, we have the park, where everybody must share the toys he/she brings, but it's not the same).

These may look like small things, but it's incredible the pressure of our culture: "is it broken? Throw it and buy a new one" or "We need to buy this in order to make that", or "I don't like this anymore, let's buy a different thing". You don't realize until you try to follow a different path! Or until you have a son/daughter and he/she comes with those ideas, and you wonder "from where did he/she learned that?".

We'll see for how long we can resist. Anyway, every day I give thanks, because our son means a daily opportunity for rethinking our world, and trying to do my best at explaining it, and making it more similar to the world that we would like to live in!

Maybe we should give up on the whole idea of a 'back' button. 'Show me that thing I was looking at a moment ago' might just be too complicated an idea for the modern web.
