#RMS parting should be a golden opportunity for the community, and hopefully #FSF, to move the battle on Copyleft from a religious to a political ground.

Yes, RMS original ideas are what we fight for, but FSF seems to fail lately to realize the impact Copyleft would have on fair competition and public money in technology.

2020 battle on #FreeSoftware should have firm political grounds, and recognize #OpenSource, as marketed today, as the actual threat to people's Freedom.

#GAFAM love for permissive licenses is because it makes it very easy for them to invest large amount of money to produce proprietary forks and destroy the competition, which often includes the original author(s), when they resist being acqu-hired.

The new FSF should be confronting their political enemies, not let them in.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ARE: wow.... we're creating... new life........

WHAT ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ACTUALLY ARE: techbros worshiping the almighty algorithm, not caring to look at what bad patterns the machines are picking up (racism, sexism, etc) and how to avert them, and overreliance on neural networks meaning that said algorithms are treated as magical black boxes where nobody wants to (or can, really) point out exactly how the equation works (and why it may be faulty)

Kids these days.#OurStreets

Reminder: "oh, we don't talk about money" / "we don't really compare salaries here" / etc. is literal capitalist propaganda designed to keep you from recognizing the true value of your labor.

Insist on a frank discussion of the compensation you and those around you receive for your time and effort.

"FREEDOM" as interpreted by capitalists: FREE, as in unlimited, DOMinion over anything they consider to be theirs, up to and including other people.

"FREEDOM" as interpreted by communists: FREE, as in fair, DOMinion over our own personal boundaries.

its really weird how fedilab refused to block gab instances and is now implementing features to evade client blocks that were put in place as a result of this decision. it's almost like there is some kind of sympathizing going on here

I have a special admiration for FOSS devs of color cause they're doing such great work in a community where edgy white libertarians whose social commentary of choice is South Park and like to act like they've never ever heard of racism are overrepresented

Fuck this marketing bullshit.
Fuck Silicon Valley.
Fuck the startup culture.
Fuck capitalism.

@Wetrix @kev I see a lot of whinery on the Fediverse.

Like "Why can't I say everything without sjw getting mad at me ? "
or : "Why millenials are such sepcial snowflakes ?"

Grow up and do something with your life rather than saying you're the most oppressed generation because you were tell to respect people on the internet.
