Ah, well we are working from different base assumptions then. I’m not cynical, I’m an optimist but yes still an idealist.

I don’t really get your point about politics as politics is everything so yes, it is a way to determine who’s right or the most ethical as well as many other things, I think you might be referring to only electoral politics, otherwise I’m not sure how you could be seeing politics as a way to not determine that.

I disagree, people are forced into things they do not want to do all the time.

Maybe, but it could be a lot fairer than it currently is, my hope is one day it won’t be necessary though or at least not to the same degree that it is now.

Oh, it does? How so?

I don’t think money or any form of it is the only way to reward people for their work (not that all people need a reward in that sense). I think that is it is might be because of this current system showing that the only way to be rewarded is through monetary compensation.

Also, I’m going to quibble here that the only reason why a lot of jobs currently done require a ‘reward’ is because of the conditions under which people labour, remove those conditions and there will be less of a need for incentives to keep people doing things they either don’t like (because they won’t do them and others that do like them will do them instead if they are truly necessary), or do like but not under such conditions such as long hours or under a strict hierarchy.

Right, which is why we need to stop money existing or other forms of economies that allow for wealth/power inequality

… what year do you think it is?

Well, the only reason I can see them liking proprietary is because that money still exists and that money allows propietary companies (and open source to be fair) to do more. If money didn’t exist there would be no need for proprietary companies nor a need to ‘protect’ their ‘property’ and in my perfect world money doesn’t exist, therefore no need for proprietary code/products.

Piracy is a service problem. Allow us to just buy DRM free files for movies and TV like both the music and games industry do and you’ll have much fewer pirates.

Get rid of the 20 million streaming services and just allow us to purchase the things we want outright without DRM from the comfort of our internet connected devices and this problem will lessen.

Why in a perfect world would anything be proprietary? I just don’t buy it.

I have a wild idea, let’s move to a better voting system like ranked choice or MMPR (whilst we still have ‘representative’ democracy at least) so claims like this are more likely to be laughed at.

I do wish them dead, we need fewer proprietary companies which help cops and steals code for their LLM bullshit. Also less FUD and smears against FOSS, they are not FOSS’ friend and the sooner FOSS developers realise this and move to codeberg or their own forgejo instances the better.

50 years too long. Let’s hope fewer developers use your things and move to actually good products that don’t have tires to some of the worst scum avaliable. Like moving from github to codeberg, for example so they aren’t helping ICE, or LLM bullshit.

Perhaps just don’t use technology to track people? It’s pretty gross.

Why did you censor cum in the title when it’s not censored throughout?

Fuck cops and the ‘justice’ system.

Fuck cops!

No.

We have heard of some here and there. The biggest problem is instances with open signups, they’re the ones that tend to get CSAM. That and instances that see nothing wrong with ‘lolicon’.

Some important takeaways include new items including the “Massacre Drone” and a “Killpower Switch,”

Yeah, pass. This developer seems to enjoy the slaughter of things, especially if they are cute and innocent.

Is this the new “female presenting nipples”? 🤣

We found a list of some public instances. However a quick search online seems to indicate most are likely self hosting.
