  • What a goofy take. “Having trouble with self control? Have you tried having self control?” Obviously there’s something more going on or life would be a whole lot simpler. Sometimes externalizing a decision through a tool like a timer is part of how a person indirectly exerts self control.





  • Chrome as well, but the point stands that it is wild to say those companies started from open source like Bluesky has.

    The closest true interpretation I can think of is that they, and most companies, fork open source software with permissive licenses since they can legally derive proprietary software from it. That’s why I’m a staunch (A)GPL boi myself.







  • Who said anything about capitalism? I’m talking about centralization. Expecting countless individuals to be able to do something as well as specialists can do it just doesn’t make sense to me.

    “Personal responsibility” is a red herring used by those in power to try and shift the blame off of institutions with real power. We need institutional change first and foremost.

    Off-gridders are primarily dilettantes who have the money to pretend they’re disconnected from the system.


  • I see what you’re saying. I find it hard to believe vanlifers and offgridders are the vanguard of a more sustainable future though.

    I don’t see how all the world’s people individually handling waste can work better than centralized expert processing, especially in more dense areas.
