Landlords Debunked. 😆
(this is about a certain MP with a million twitter followers and a website full of embedded YouTube videos, but no apparent fediverse presence btw. My feed makes it look like I'm telling @aral to start a car company)

I love the weird things the internet makes happen.

Like a guy that makes videos of himself playing videogames coming up with a whole new sound economic theorem.

Worthy of a doctorate in the right environment, but instead it's done in the context of calling lazy twitch streamers dicks.

@Gargron is it possible for you to clear cached data for another instance without breaking everything?
I just realised: capitalism is the paperclip problem playing out in real life.

Hi fediverse! Boosts appreciated on this one.

I’m part of a co-op building a platform for artists to sell art without getting exploited. I’ve been working on it for a while but there’s a lot of work to do and I could use some help. A ton of the main features are in place, but there’s still some big gaps and a lot of polish left before it can launch.

The platform is fully open source and developed in the open. It’s built on Phoenix/Elixir and Tailwindcss. Our co-op is already incorporated and established and it’s open to members that want to actually commit but you don’t need to be a member to contribute or help.

Does this sound interesting? I’d love some help! I’m also happy to answer questions. And no, you don’t need to know Elixir already. It’s pretty easy to learn for the things you’d be using it for. Even some design help would be welcome. Feel free to reply here or DM me!

Does there exist a kind of license that excludes a work from #surveillancecapitalism ?

I know there's all kinds of varying levels of permissive license, but can "non-commercial" be used against platforms?

Can it be argued that, even if adverts aren't interjected into a YouTube video, it is still being used for commercial purposes as it is placed in an environment designed to profit from hosting that work?

If current licenses don't cover this, can one be written to do so?

I was on @ummjackson's new podcast #Griftonomics talking about Mastodon. Thanks for the invite!
