no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.


nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.



lol the US security apparatus is bad but it’s not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.


a gift economy is also an exchange of goods but it’s decidedly not capitalism - no one earns any profit and there’s no flow converting money into capital and capital back into money.



it’s probably not code golfed and the type signatures probably weren’t elided. because otherwise I’d expect it to be above javascript.



I mean, that’s exactly what all three of those were intended to do – carry property law over into a domain where it clearly doesn’t make sense. so it’s fully same-picture. none of them should exist.


justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it’s almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you’re wrong.



you’re just leeching off from someone else’s hard work

so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don’t give it to the people who did the hard work.


I appreciate Grafana going in the opposite direction and relicensing under the AGPL. it largely serves the same purpose but it provides a stronger guarantee for users.
