Frame 3 actually is:
“Thanks for your work of love and passion and curiosity, and freely contributed open source software, I like it! With the help of amassed capital power, I’m going to blanket the market until my new company’s name is all anyone can think of when they mention your previously free and fun hobby and are happy to subscribe to my monthly fee and privacy invasion of users which allows me to further monitor the efforts and contributions of others.”
That is why (A)GPL and not MIT/BSD, that is why no CLA.
I don’t understand why so many open source devs just gift their work and time to big corporations by choosing permissive licenses or signing away their contributions via CLA.
Topic aside: handmade, floating 3d speech bubbles!
The fastest way to ruin a hobby is to make it a side hustle, or worse, your job.
Oh hey my dad’s in a comic. I love him, but dear lord dad sometimes things that are technically possible to profit from are just things you do for the love of doing them
“burn it all to the ground”…which, frankly, is a shit idea, because we are all in this boat and I’d rather see us all succeed than fail.
Do you think changing economic systems is equivalent to setting it all on fire?
No, but the majority of the “you’re not left enough” crowd disingenuously keeps bringing it up as the only solution, and don’t offer any positive or applicable alternatives.
Thats because it is the only solution, and the “you’re not left enough crowd” understands it is the only solution.
Maybe read Capital volumes 1-3 and then tell me you think “socialism or barbarism” isn’t an objectively(or as close to objective as one can be) correct take.
Well, the first thing to be done in USA is to stop dis BS two party system. It is still better than only one, sure, but a working democracy should give more options and tools to make each individual’s opinion respected.
After that something like an initiative is needed so that a the people can commit changes to the constitution by winning a majority vote in the majority of states and one that counts for all states (changes to constitution have to win both majority votes)
I’m not American, but have similar struggles. Is this the kind of thing we can push locally then hope to expand out, or does it really have to come from the top down?
Actually you all probably have more local power than a lot of countries, so lots of opportunity to land and expand
