Yeah I thought so, I hoped the quotations would make it less so.
I still think it’s a catchy description though so I’m not changing it yet
Not meaning to be racist, but
Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist
The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?
The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.
Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?
But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then
I wish there was infrastructure for them where I live, I hate driving and I like cycling
I’m just responding to your initial stupid take, I don’t mean ‘hate’ as in going out and breaking car windows because they’re the bane of my existence
Yeah, no. I have a car and I hate driving it. I hate others having cars and driving them. I hate public transport being ignored over car infrastructure leaving them completely impractical. I hate our cities being ruined in order to work around cars, when metros are underground, and trains are overground but take way less space since they can take in way more people and transfer them way faster. I hate car accidents being one of the leading causes of death in my country. Fuck cars
Now I get you, I agree
But you’re perfectly fine with working for imperialist wars across the globe
Any remote login happens via VPN.
I don’t support this, but you don’t need VPNs for remote logins. SSH exists, it’s just that VPNs are a better solution for companies among other things.
Profit maximization and personal gain over the many is where cooperation goes to die.
Some small companies can do a good job, and sometimes bigger ones too, but they’ll be crushed by other companies that exploit their employees forcing them to do the same if they want to stay in the business.
It represents your partial ownership of the company and property
The only way this can be done in a capitalist way, is by distributing exactly one company share for every employee that’s not tradeable at all, flattening the hierarchy completely, and making every decision in a direct democratic way.
I think they’re good books, it’s just that they’re again and again referred to as “proof that communism was horrible” by people who have not the slightest clue how communism actually was besides what the western governments tell them about it
I abandoned it at some point in the second half. It was getting even more interesting but summer was ending and I no longer had as much time.
Go ask the Palestinians if US intervention has been a big misunderstanding and they’re actually looking out for them and bringing them democracy like they say
I love how the upvote/downvote rate is almost 1
Western hypocricy never ceases to amaze
You mean like Tic Tac Toe within a bigger Tic Tac Toe? That was the original idea by VSauce, but I changed it to # of games won because it felt more intuitive when playing
