Are you serious?

A change.org with 51 signatures? I am usually not a cynical person, but there have never been any change.org petitions that have really changed anything.

Please stop with this online activism bullshit and go out into the real world and organize and actually do something.

I think, I am neither, I am

It’s a joke, Expedition 33 is not a sequel

Yeah, I was looking for that info, because I don’t trust any (especially new projects, that use AI).

How did you know, it was AI though? I am just curious

Nope

What projects are you working on, if I may ask?

Also nuclear is just way more expensive than renewables, so we could build way more renewables than nuclear

That’s actually a really cool idea, will be using it!

Thanks ;)

You shouldn’t have to justify your identity. Sexulatity are just labels, it doesn’t really matter. Just identify as what you want / feel comfortable with!

"We all are responsible for supporting the open web better!

Anyways, please follow me on fucking Bluesky or Farcaster" (which is apparently some crypto shit Twitter alternative)

This has to be sattire, right?

How can you say, that we have an obligation to support the open web, while simultaneously only posting on commercial, semi closed platforms and ignoring the fediverse?

That’s basically the difference between positive and negative freedom.

Negative freedom is the freedom from restrictions (like nobody prohibiting you from walking) while positive freedom is the ability for you to do something (like being able to walk)

I found it pretty strange in the first place, that they used OnlyOffice as a base and not LibreOffice or Collabora

Anarchism doesn’t mean, there are no rules. Read the wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

That was indeed a really interesting read! It really made me think more deeply about software licencing. I didn’t quite understand what the authors problem with GPLv3 was though? That the companies are scared of it? Isn’t that kind of a good thing? I don’t want amazon to make massive profits off of my work, because if that’s possible to do, then that would necessarily mean, that my goal as a developer (to protect my work from exploitation while helping the common good) isn’t working. I am curious what you have taken away from the essay though? How do you protect your code from corporate exploitation?

Yeah, I also think this attempt will ultimately fail. They probably think it could work, but these people are not known for being particularly smart.

It could still divert some people from the right “path” (learning to appreciate good art though), which makes me a bit sad.

Wow, I didn’t think, I would get such an interesting book recommendation out of this. Thank you so much!

I think the ultimate goal is to destroy art in general because it has always been a majour driving factor for progressive social change (at least since the Renaissance), because art is about critically reflecting on our society and our environment.

Free software works though?? Also if you want some real world examples of anarchist-like principles being applied in praxis, without fascism, look up Rojava or the Zapatista-Movement.

Isn’t protecting workers from exploration on of the core goals of communism?

I mean, it’s less about the intention and more about the reality of software development. Just because the developers back then didn’t chose to do software development in an anarchist way (although I think a lot of them had that kind of mindset), doesn’t mean, that they didn’t do it using anarchist principles.
