> I think it's clear what kind of politics I mean and what kind of budgeting I mean. I am strongly (probably given the communist past of my homeland) opposed to any government having any part in it (since it is not absolutely necessary since no one will die), not against structure. Actually it should be decentralized alike Bitcoin. It's really not clear. > Eh, no. I actually meant government, and that's the whole point. You're attributing stability to entities that don't have it.

> It's really not clear. So, to be clear: I consider anything that involves government generally to be avoided, and government should be involved only in things where such overreaching involvement (and its morally/ethically unsound ways - personal freedom and privacy breaches, financing through taxes...) is absolutely necessary - e.g. the end (people not dying) justifies the means. Code sharing is not that, and having such entity run it in a centralised way would defeat the point - such database of code absolutely should be distributed, potentially blockchain-like decentralised. > The meaning is consistent in English, it's just condescending. But I do appreciate your elaboration. It's not in Czech. It's something a teacher would say to a kid as a joke.
