inspired: "the existence of external memory reminds me that my sense of identity is arbitrary and contingent -- that my self-conception relies upon fragile material objects that reflect my own presentation back to me -- and the fragility of these objects (their inevitable failure) allows me to break out of stagnating patterns of normative self-observation and achieve greater freedom"
@cwebber Hmm. Does it have to be the whole source, or just a link to the source? Can you just have engraved on your pot "Licensed with GPL, for schematics go to <link> or contact <designer>"?
Hmm. Is ther a GPL license for material items? Like, household goods, for example? If I design a pot for cooking, is there a GPL variant I can license it with? Or could I even just use the generic GPL or AGPL? :/
"The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal."
Of course, there are still plenty of ways the system can go bad. I hope these innovations will ameliorate the problems of other organizations, but they might not help much, and they might very well introduce new problems. Still, at the very least it's interesting to think about. :/
