Your argument seems to be based on the idea that Microsoft would do a better job than its competition technically. The fact that you're happy to rely on them also seems to imply you think they're unlikely to act abusively. However

The date of a page's latest publication and the date of a website's (or page's) copyright are two different things.

This is not how copyright statements work. > The copyright notice on a work establishes a claim to copyright. The date on the notice establishes how far back the claim is made. This means if you update the date, you are no longer claimin

It would have been nice to have a list with an example for each of the 23 tasks. Have I missed it?

It seems to work for a lot of people, but I still get constant crashes using xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, despite trying multiple GPUs, extensive testing etc. I will probably dive into the code when I get some time.

For clarity, the relevant switches are "AP" and "AT" in the top middle.

On Linux: zathura, evince, okular for viewing. I don't know of a friendly GUI tool for editing PDFs, but combinations of imagemagick and tools such as pdfunite work well. A bit off-topic, but nomacs and imv are nice for images.

I'd like to hear more about your view, but I don't quite see how what you said applies. My point is that, _if_ you considered cryptocurrencies to be nothing other than a scam, it makes sense to ban them on account of the harm they

I agree with you! There's an interesting discussion to be had there in the general case. SourceHut being easily self-hostable means this isn't an issue in this case.

It seems to me like the disagreement isn't as big as you make it out to be. This is an instance where the maintainer of a business has strong views that they consider well-informed on the social impact of an issue, and there is no prag

There are people here who seem to take the view that businesses hosting the content of others ought to absolutely protect their "freedom of speech", no matter the content. I disagree. Some things are harmful to the lives of those

I agree that the solution to depression is therapy, but it seems mean and heteronormative of you to say that someone who names their website "gay robot noises" has a problem. Perhaps you meant something else?

I would have loved to add more details about the project I linked, but I unfortunately haven't used it a lot. I figured it would be better to just link it in case it's useful to someone, than not link it at all because I don'

All permanent employees should own a share of the company's profits in proportion with their contribution as decided by their peers.

Moving to a country based on how many "unicorns" there are in that country seems uniquely stupid to me. Better healthcare? Wonderful. More like-minded people who share your values and interests? Sounds great! But a valuation means

My comment oversimplified the work to be done for the sake of argument. Feel free to replace some of those 100 programmers with accountants or other kinds of employees. I agree those other kinds of work are very important, and my argument r

Thank you for expanding on your point! I understand what you meant a lot better now. If you had any resources that expand on your views, I'd be happy to read them.

This is an interesting answer, thank you! I agree that co-ops using only funds contributed by their members will struggle to compete with companies that receive large investments. However, the bigger question is why investors would not want

by vladharbuz 4y ago
That reasoning makes sense to me. Do you think there actually _is_ some material disadvantage to co-operatives that leads them to be less economically successful than companies where shareholders have all the power and ownership? If so, do

by vladharbuz 4y ago
Yes, I fully agree with your conclusion! I think changes in the structure of work have to be accompanied by things like UBI to fully work.

I really think you would get some interesting perspective out of reading “The Tyranny of Merit” by Michael J. Sandel, and I'm really curious how the ideas in the book would come together with your views. I would be happy to gift you th

Do you think that just because something is not regularly done, that automatically means it is bad or not feasible? Relatedly, do you think the fact that our culture has somewhat of a focus on individual economic success and the accumulatio

This is a wonderful idea. I'll try to draft something like this, but if you post this yourself, or notice it posted by someone else with more experience in the VC world than me, would you please ping me? Contact details at https:&#x2F

I'm very interested in this point! Do you think there is something about the structure of co-operatives that intrinsically makes them less attractive to investors? Or do you think that the fear you mentioned is just a result of them be

by vladharbuz 4y ago
Yes, this is the prevailing view! However, I think the magnitude of the reward an investor should get, as well as the actual amount of risk they are exposed to, is overstated. Also, there is nothing stopping us from having a system where th

Great question! Maybe they are, maybe they're not, and you're right that this should influence how the company is structured. But our current system goes quite a bit past simply "solving" this problem with investor share
