Su_GA lovely read, beautifully written, reminding us that “the European Web… conquered the world because it was offered as a common good instead of seeking short-term profits.” 🙂
Redefining ‘success’ as contributing to the commons (copyleft) as opposed to privatising:
“Some are proud because they made a lot of money while cutting down a forest. Others are proud because they are planting trees that will produce the oxygen breathed by their grandchildren. What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons, to make it each day better, richer, stronger?
“The choice is ours. We simply need to choose whom we admire. Whom we want to recognize as successful. Whom we aspire to be when we grow up. We need to sing the praises of our true heroes: those who contribute to our commons.”
🙏🏻 so much, for writing this, for sharing it 😁

9Lukas5 🚂 🐧I probably would have spent more time, trying to fix what he's missing, if I'd see the potential of the time spent leading to anything.
But I feel like he doesn't want it to be implemented anyways?
Or is it just that my proposals are that bad, that leaving them open to be updated is pointless, anyways?
