Oh you're right, I completely forgot their involvement in defense projects. Maybe something involving the level at which Boeing along wiah the US gov spied on Airbus to win contracts as well.

Yeah I have no doubt this serves as a message for future whistleblowers, but damn that is some level of prevention. > Additionally, western corporations were, multiple times, accused of being involved in assassinations of union leaders i

by rakoo 2y ago
If they were really killed because of their leaks, I struggle to find what could be so sensitive that an assassination is ever an option. Do Boeing engineers work on stuff that secretive ? Are you given the nuclear codes on your first day ?

Not exactly. Briar uses bluetooth or wifi when peers are close, but also tor (over standard internet) when not, so it's possible to use it at wide scale. Briar actually does set up a meshnet for groups and forums, so long as people are

So instead of LoRa and anything else, everyone now has to say LoRa (the communication protocol) or LoRa (the large model thing). Having to add context all the time makes everything so much simpler !

by rakoo 2y ago
Large models is not spelled in full, and doesn't explicitely says it's not about the communication protocol.

In practice, do you interact with many different distributions ?

by rakoo 2y ago
In that case I question the use of "employee-owned". It might be technically true, but if it comes with no actual control there is no point in using that term. The original point is about companies where workers have actual contro

by rakoo 2y ago
As an employee-owned business, you had a say in this. How did the discussion go ? What were the arguments for and against those decisions ?

No, to setup two devices you have to add the id of A into B (you can even scan the qr code), wait for B to be contacted, and from B accept the invitation. Repeat for each folder (there's a setting where you cao automatically accept all

Yes and no, a communist system (so, not the USSR) doesn't need protests because people take part in the decisions. See the way Chiapas was run, or the Commune de Paris. Unfortunately as soon as such a system is brought up it is crushed

So, why did we ban indentured servitude but not jobs-with-no-decision ? What makes one bad and the other good ? There's no argument in absolute about keeping one and not the other.
236.
by rakoo 2y ago
That there can be owners of a company who take all decisions is, in itself, a political decision to remove workers from deciding. Yes it is allowed in the current system, of course, because that's what the system is built for. Just lik
