It's not choice vs. force though, it's indirect force vs direct force. To make an actual choice in this case would require that the person about to rent out his or her labor has some alternative to wage labor; such as enough land

One could argue that it's only symbiotic given todays capitalist society as a premise (limited options for investment - as capital is concentrated - and basic needs is not met by society).

Well, historically people have turned to politics and more fundamental ideals, but I realise that with the superficial politics of today this may not seem like an alternative. A shame really.

In theory... We do have the technology to work _a lot_ less if were just to get by. And when you think about it, it's rather strange that we are still working the same amount of hours as they did in the early 20th century - given the a

I pretty much agree with you. The reason I built the tool was to give a system overview for the vagrant box we use at my work. Especially one that could tail and search logs (the one in supervisor is pretty useless). And in the end; all dev

That's not very good. On all pages or just the process-list page? I could add an option that disables the auto-updating. The only thing that's currently polled by a background thread is some network information from /proc&#x2

Author here (and woha, didn't note that it was posted to HN. Explains the sudden github traffic.). Do you mean that you did that without actually passing /etc/passwd to as a --log arg to psdash? If so it's definitely a b

So co-ops are against human nature on the basis of your experience? Blimey.

by jahaja 13y ago
On the other hand; I think that a solid foundation of co-ops and similarly worker-owned workplaces would be required for the abolishment of capitalism altogether.

What I think often happens in a culture where group brainstorming is common is that the few meeting specialist, often the gregarious managers, is the ones leading the meetings and is in the end labeled as the creative ones. In the end peopl

Yeah, I have no problem with that and I wouldn't want to dive into a discussion of what "true" freedom is as it is not objective to start with. You said it yourself: "X simply argue that Y is the best way to achieve free

Fair enough, I may have interpreted things a bit freely. Sorry about that. I don't know a thing about The Walking Dead, but I guess you mean the freedom while being alive in post-apocalyptic society which is of course a fair point - ev

I have a hard time coming to terms with people talking in definite terms regarding subjective issues, this is such a case. This is speculation fueled by your subjective views. Yes, as a person with libertarian socialist views I do have a bi

I have to agree with watwut. This is a bit unnuanced and oversimplifying things.

For additional context; what/which revolution(s) are you thinking about that aspired to be the most structureless but became as oppressive as the most tyrannical ones?

I've recently released a similar tool for Python. Definitely not as pretty but with a focus on providing a lot of details: https://github.com/Jahaja/psdash The more the merrier! :)

Woha, does this really qualify as journalism? It seems more like the author has been been holding a grudge and urgently needed to spew out all the things he doesn't like about Scandinavia. This coupled with a few backing quotes from na

What? The whole discussion is about calling a perversion of capitalism anarchism. I prefer to call anarchism for what it has meant througout history - namely a branch of socialism.

Erhm, tl;dr? :)

I just can't understand why a criminal background check is relevant for a tech job..

This is interesting. When does your record disappear in the US? In Sweden the record is removed 10 years after a prison sentence has been served. However, requesting ones criminal record is not usual besides applications to work at a kinder

Going by a literal dictionary interpretation of the word anarchism/anarchist would be what I see as a superficial interpretation.
744.
by jahaja 13y ago
Point being that this would require a superficial interpretation that disregards the history of anarchism as a branch of socialism.

That is a great site, I have no problem with dicussion with what you would call right-wing anarchist. Even though I want to point out that I don't think it's fair to call agendas advocating property-rights and wage working anarchi

I actually think it's important to call things what they are, just as North Korea aint a democracy even though they call themselves that, this is nothing reassembling anarchist thought. By hi-jacking concepts we introduce confusion and

Anarchist community inspired by Ayn Rand? Fck me, revisionist history is seemingly having a renaissance with regards to former socialist concepts that is now apparently right-wing - libertarian and anarchist.

Are you for real or am I just imagining someone who just registered with the name "not an idiot" and yet provides a comment that indicate no capacity for deductive reasoning whatsoever?
