- kube-system 2y agoWe can't even get the world's governments to agree on what basic human rights are.
- marcosdumay 2y agoYou can have country-specific nonprofits that cooperate; you can have consumer-rights nonprofits or free-speech nonprofits cooperating... The best thing about open source is that cooperating on it is very easy.
