govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.
If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.
All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don't actually have to actively do it. It's a threat which is done in politics all the time.
Step 1: all software has to be open source
Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware
Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.
I support this move to Step 1
Where is the list of pauper gov'ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!
Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:
-
yet another stupid web site
-
yet another stupid smartphone app
-
yet another stupid cloud base server instance
I live for cringe!
Dead Snow I was sad.
Dead Snow II i'm still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!
But if you can't appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed
The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:
endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us
load dodgy third party sites libraries
insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance
So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.
Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.
