#OpenSource: Free for You, Profitable for Them.
OpenSource means: #software where the #sourcecode is freely available and often costs nothing. Sounds great, but there is a catch.
#Companies like #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon fund large #OpenSource #projects not out of #idealism, but because they build profitable #cloudservices on top of them and pocket the money.
Small #developers who charge for their work barely stand a chance against "free". Yet thousands of hours go into these projects. The #maintainers, the people who keep these projects alive, often work unpaid until they hit #burnout.
#Free does not automatically mean ethical. It is often just convenient.

bebatjof 🇵🇸🔹 Context: industrial revolution. Mechanisation in agriculture meant less workers were necessary on the field, so people go to the city to find a job. This leads to exploitable workers, low wages, dangerous conditions.
🔹 Marxism is a scientific method. (I didn't know that.)
🔹 "Philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it." Now finally a philosophical point of view I can agree with.
🔹 Hegel: ideas and understanding are the motor of change in the world.
Marx: no, material conditions are. You need to change the material conditions of people in order to change your understanding of the world.
This is "materialism" (Marx) as opposed to "idealism" (Hegel).
🔹 For example: individual wage labour creates individualism, whereas villages create solidarity, because people have specialisms. If the baker is ill, no one in the village has bread. In a factory, workers compete for wages.

平和｜ポイズン雷花
理想で戦争を回避出来ると云うのは臆病神の戯言に過ぎん！ 平和外交平和外交て口煩く云ってる奴は現実に目を向け、 真正面から向き合う事の出来ぬ困った臆病神でしか有りませぬ。 だからこそう平和外校と云う名の夢物語にしがみ付くしか生きる術を見出せぬ！ 憲法改正反対と云ってる連中もそう、平和憲法と云う夢から覚める勇気を持てぬ臆病神。 歴史は今まで幾度も無く証明してる。理想論と夢物語で平和を得、維持するのは不可能！ もっと云うのならば、神話に過ぎぬ。それがこの世界の現実。 此処で妾が問う。平和国家をうたう日本が平和を守る為今するべき事は何？ 今現在刻々と、確実に差し迫って来てる脅威を抑止、除去する

Сказати, що війни можна уникнути за допомогою ідеалів, — не що інше, як нісенітниця боягузливого бога!

Сказати, що війни можна уникнути за допомогою ідеалів, — не що інше, як нісенітниця боягузливого бога! Дипломатія миру Ті, хто говорять про дипломатію миру, повинні дивитися на реальність. Він не що інше, як неспокійний і боягузливий бог, який не може протистояти йому лобом. Ось чому я можу знай
Peace
To say that war can be avoided with ideals is nothing more than the nonsense of a cowardly god!

Chris HaleHow is it that Americans who affiliate themselves as Democrats are so afraid to talk about #Palestine? After all this time?
It's because they've been successfully socialized not to talk about it, our activists have been made the villains, reinforced by their political party and their "trusted" news organizations. This was clear to me in 2018 when any mention of Palestine on #PBS was accompanied by an interview with the ADL.
I have a media-adjacent job myself, and I've also experienced this when I filed an ethics complaint against my own employer who tried to shut me up for making a lukewarm statement about Palestine. The clear intention is to suppress speech.
It's because we've allowed this tactic to be effective, it continues to be used. We must speak up, not resign ourselves to defeat. The surest pathway to defeat is acting like we've already lost. #defeatism is the enemy here, not so-called #idealism
