@jalcine the agpl3 is viral. I will help out other projects and play nice there, but I won't get serious about a non-GPL project. It's not worth it. I won't have some bigcorp come in and take my labor and sell it without some remit back to me. I would be happy to sell my code... or they can deliver their patches against it...
However, the MIT license and more loose licenses like it allows companies like Amazon to eat the work and labor of the open source community with minimal contribution to the original community.
I don't expect the web to die any time soon, but there's definitely room for newcomers to do something new with a simplified browser optimized for low end hardware and with an integrated and well executed development toolset.
To beat the existing world of trashfire browsers with sketchy business models I don't think we need to directly implement the things they do and play on their field.
Also I think W3C needs to go. TBL needs to retire, and if there's a standards body it needs to be a lot more democratic than a corporate consortium with paid-for protocols. If there's any kind of lesson from the web over the last two decades it's that corporate governance ultimately destroys everything of value.
Racist policies were preferred by the local power structure. In order to defeat these policies, the Feds had to overrule the local laws and customs in the 60s.
Part of the White response was to flee to suburbs and build a de facto segregationist society. This is where a great deal of the "local control" and "localism" movement comes from.
Thought experiment:
What happens in a democratic society when the majority is viruently bigoted?
Tonight was a play night. I pretty much did all #barbells- I haven't worked with the bar for about 6 years.
Deadlift
Squat
Clean & jerk
Bench press
Experimenting mostly, so I also did some #kettlebells long cycle with comp bells and worked on my latest pulldown- blech, machine.
And of course a bit of jogging at the end.
For sure, I don't instinctively feel the barbell like I did kettlebells. But it was good to branch out. I should plan a 2-3 month barbell cycle this winter for #strength.
The lack of social housing, the lack of guaranteed jobs, the lack of guaranteed medical care, all due to protection of property rights and race, even when said rights have to be generated from whole cloth, lead to the homelessness I see daily.
I am not sure FAGSC is the right way. But dang if its direction is better than libertarian ways.
@garbados this is my big feel regarding the literal pounds of writers on the liberal and left traditions.
I got stuff to do, man. Work to work and kid to parent. I read crazy fast but - give me a break. Some distillation and summary work is needed here to break out of the academy circles - or academy minded workers.
It feels very gatekeepers to me. You must have this must free time and this reading speed to have valid left ideas!
> [five paragraphs about "alienated labor"] < oh so like < how it feels to do meaningless busywork at the behest of people who don't care whether you live or die so you can eat < yeah that needed five paragraphs to explain
sometimes i'll read articles that take multiple paragraphs to explore something marx said and after slogging through it i'm just like "oh you mean like how it feels to be a service worker. ok, thanks"
On the other hand, a problem with using 150-year-old Marxist theory, and terms taken from 1850s Paris, to describe our world in 2018 is that
well, people following Marx, and using those terms and categories to organize their world, um, they murdered tens to hundreds of millions of people ( so many in fact that we're still not quite sure how many, but it was a lot)
so now when you say 'exterminate the petit bourgeoisie', people flinch a bit
