This is just trolling, at this point.

What happened to China going for Open Hardware?

Institutional violence is constant intimidation.

Creating unbiased public, open-source alternatives to corporate-controlled models.

Unbiased? I don’t think that’s possible, sir.

That’s certainly a better way to learn about ourselves. Specifically by learning how the chimpanzees select the medicinal leaves and so on.

“Sex is a huge part of life, and it feels strange when art ignores that.”

I hate that every big book has a sex scene. I think it just doesn’t fit with the overall feel of them. And now games are going that way.

But getting more sex coverage on news media is good, I like that.

I personally find weird the read on web mechanism.

In a culture where people just want to make the cut, chatbots are really perfect.

I think owning a platform like GitHub and acting like you can profit out of your code (not your product) isn’t good news.

This would fit “A Boring Dystopia” well. I think protecting data isn’t the way to go. The effects of it can already be seen:

All the burocracy for common people, no burocracy at all for Big Tech. No IP, no robots.txt. They are trusted and can do whatever they like, starting on your phone. It honestly looks like another form of aristocracy.

I think many people wouldn’t like to live under a “Nerd Reich”, so it’s only natural that there is a mainstream article against that. I’m assuming people who don’t understand anything about the technology that keeps their attention most of the time are concerned about the possibility. Society losing grip over itself, that is, language (social skills) not being the primary characteristic of the successful anymore. That is a blow conventional people won’t take easily.

Awesome discussion.

People not accepting that other people got a easier time doing certain things than others is certainly a problem, but too much blaming isn’t good as well.

It doesn’t matter if they’re nerds or not. What matters is where society is swaying to.

I’ve just finished reading “A Hacker Manifesto” by McKenzie Wark. I recommend that as well.

What wouldn’t I be able to access without compatibility investments? Spotify, LinkedIn? I think I’m fine.

Besides, what’s the point of OSS that is owned 85% by a big company?

Thank you!
