Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren’t required to implement but do because they’re good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like “thank you for fixing x11 in your free time.”

But nope, property doesn’t exist, guess it’s broke!

Daring fireball is a very popular blog. The guy invented markdown. He’s a very known Apple apologist. It’s not wrong for someone who knows Daring Fireball to assume anything he says positively about Apple or in defense of Apple has potential for his fanboy bias.

I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don’t mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I’m talking to a right winger who’s scared of anarchists and then just say “the socialist kind”. It’s a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever

I do not miss CRT tvs

You can say fuck you to America without supporting other capitalist or otherwise authoritarian nations, and instead support anti capitalism by using decentralized networks. I won’t slurp on Winnie’s hunny pot to say fuck you to Uncle Sam, but you do you lemmy.ml

Real anti capitalists learn Esperanto

oh bless your heart 😌

Apologies for the southern passive aggressiveness, but I believe you may not notice how much content is an ad

I know that advertisers love that TikTok knows when a user desires your product. I wonder why they can target you so well? All state sponsored social media, X and Meta and company as well as TikTok, should be avoided if you don’t want corporations and capitalists and authoritarians having that much information about you. If you hate corporations trying to sell you things, maybe don’t use a dopamine and social habit tracking app that’s designed to sell ads to play on your fears

Id question the intelligence of anyone who used any app specifically because of a country associated with it when it’s not an app about countries. Going to Chinese apps just because TikTok gets banned is kinda silly imo, but then again I don’t use state-sponsored social media like TikTok or instagram etc

thank you human 😌

beads??
