@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nzI've noticed how people who are 'left' in their politics are happy to identify themselves that way. People on the 'right', however, seldom identify themselves that way, as it tends to reflect poorly on them - 'right' connotes selfish, bigoted, greedy, mean, cold, ignorant, religious, pragmatic rather than principled... I propose we adopt new terms for the political spectrum rather than 'left'<->'right', namely 'noble'<->'ign…

@lpryszcz@genomic.socialAre you planning flying in the coming months? Consider train...

@hex@kolektiva.socialPropaganda of the deed generally does the opposite of what it's supposed to do: it alienates rather than activates, destroying the movement it comes from. Until it doesn't. Until it actually sparks a revolution.
But there is a prerequisite for a successful revolution. That is an alternative system to pivot into as the old one collapses. That alternative is *far more dangerous* than any one-off action, up to and including literally killing a king or an emperor.
People will eventually rise up. That's just a matter of time. The question is what's left after everything gets burned down. That's a far more important question than, "is it happening?" It's happening (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly), what's next?
Hierarchy manifests complexity beyond its ability to manage. We're seeing that now, we will see it more. Distributed authority is more stable. Build a distributed society within the burned out warehouse of the hierarchical one.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsKinda related to #Gentoo, so cool" or "they stopped using it, so sad". And I'm like, "why should we care?"
Do they donate money to Gentoo? They don't. And if they did, it would probably come with obligations making this not worth it.
Do they contribute back? Rarely, and if they do, they are unreliable. They benefit more than we do. They just want to dump the packages they need, quickly duct taped together, so that we would maintain them going forward. Their employees rarely reveal that they're paid to do this, and if they do, it's not so they'd be held to higher standards, but to emphasize their importance: "you must placate us."
Well, sometimes they hire Gentoo developers. It's nice that these developers get some gratification for their work, especially if they're able to continue contributing on work time. But in the end, company priorities win. We are either left with loads of new packages with no maintainer and unclear significance, or a Google employee who appeared every once in a while to dump a bunch of ChromeOS patches and never bothered handling the fallout.
So, sorry, but I'd rather care for volunteers who want to make Gentoo better, than companies who see some profit incentive in it.
PS. I'm probably focusing too much on the negative aspects, and we likely had some positive interactions that are far less known and usually don't meet with such fanfare.
