Pretty much the quality of discourse I was expecting here. Next time try to stick to opining on topics you actually understand.

Of course it has to do with profits and who gets it. That's the whole context for introducing the theory of value in Kapital, which one of us actually read while the other evidently skimmed a wikipedia page. Labour theory of value is n

The question isn't about the amount of labour needed to produce food, it's regarding who collects the profit from the labour that is done. Not sure what point you were trying to make with food production there.

If you're worried about rent seeking wait till you find out how a traditional business works. The owner of the company takes all the profit, and then pays out a small portion of that profit to the workers doing the work in form of wage

Completely agree, having an interactive programming interface to the system is superior to using a shell in practically every way.

One thing that's really underappreciated in my opinion is the ability to use the REPL as a general tool for interacting with the system. A lot of devops tasks can be done very conveniently from the REPL. For example, you can start a Ba

Both social and technological aspects are ultimately intertwined. The way technology works necessarily shapes the way it's used, and users in turn shape the direction that technology evolves in. Fediverse architecture encourages differ

Think of it exactly the same way as email. You have different servers with users on them, and they can all talk to each other using a common protocol called ActivityPub. The really interesting part of all this is that different types of pla
