The thing that bothers me most about VC funding of open source work is that it is always done in the interest of creating an atmosphere where the parts are ready to assemble to build the next profitable enterprise—any humanity is purely coincidental, and thus a rare output from a system not designed to output it.
We should publicly fund open work, for humanity’s sake.
You know, I don't think my views are that radical at all. It's just common sense.
Believing women should have a right to their own bodies isn't 'radical'. It's just how human being should be treated.
Believing the LGBT community should have the same rights as me isn't 'radical'. It's just the right thing to do.
Saying that white culture is being sustained by the majority of white identified people isn't 'radical'. It's just what the evidence says.
No, there is nothing wrong with women wanting abortions and having sex with who they want. You're just a sexist.
Trans people should be able to use whatever public facilities they want. You're just a transphobe.
Homosexual people are no more flamboyant about flaunting their sexuality that heterosexual people are. You're just a homophobe.
The main issue that affects the upward mobility of Black folks is racism. You can't access the obviousness of it b/c you're a racist.
