Article? … there is an article?
Read the title, skipped MSM / one-way media article, came straight to the comment section
login walls, pay walls, spun prose, AI generated noise … no way. That era is over. Let it die. Have a funeral for it, put a stake in it, and a heavy slab over the gravesite.
Make sure that monster stays dead and buried.
u are right
just confirmed my point
either i’m defective or thoroughly distracted by a never ending stream of disjointed conversation threads that just blend together and lead no where.
Was there ever any hope of forming a long last relationship? Or is that never been in the cards?
Are we just thread participants for the life time of this thread?
yeah there is a lotta that floating around.
i feel locked in a cage with the proverbial monkey
shiats getting tossed everywhere. Dodging works for a time.
Eventually wanted more outta life than successive rounds of the classic game, space invaders.
People opening their mouths, whatever comes out, should be backed up with something. Even better if can interact with that something
explain your point clearly with unittests. Then we are talking.
Prove it’s true otherwise it’s just conjecture. A missive. A random thought, or G’d forbid, good intentions.
this is why FOSS community goes ahead and removes untrustworthy blobs and replaces them with open source alternatives.
The open hardware is an issue, but there are efforts there as well.
They have paid and are paying themselves a never ending salary. The printing is gradual and then all at once.
We will reach infinity, make sure you get your hands on the infinity or trillion dollar note.
govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.
If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.
All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don’t actually have to actively do it. It’s a threat which is done in politics all the time.
Step 1: all software has to be open source
Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware
Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.
I support this move to Step 1
Where is the list of pauper gov’ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!
Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:
yet another stupid web site
yet another stupid smartphone app
yet another stupid cloud base server instance
We are all on federated lemmy and have moved off State owned or sponsored corporate social media.
Whether you lean left right or something else, everyone needs communication and financial privacy. Otherwise the State will crush you. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but on a long enough time line, it’s inevitable, YOU WILL BE CRUSHED.
The State and MSM lost the narrative. And we will not regress
