@aral And before you know it, the "grow or die" imperative kicks in..

@smallcircles I'd think Big Tech is selective in the sense that it has only the profit motive that guides them, not any externalities. E.g. there used to be this 10% time for OSS development at some of them, but not anymore.It wasn't always like that, e.g. Bell Labs.

Good example of the strategy of back to "normal" and wait for the next disaster:We are joining the #HelloQuitX campaign, and leaving X as of today. You can find us on Bluesky

Big Tech never understood the fundamentals of what they are using.The Multics project was planned and well funded, Unix wasn't.It was a cooperative project led by MIT along with General Electric and Bell Labs. Bell withdrew from the project in 1969 as it became clear it would not deliver a working system in the short term and developed Unix, which carried forward many Multics features, but was able to run on less-expensive hardware.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multics

If I were the degrowth movement, I would start a fully non-profit Bell Labs, employing a diversity of people from both the northern and southern hemisphere.That would produce "commons" technology without the growth imperative.

"What radicalized you?"Nothing.I've just always held that fascism is bad and that all people deserve basic respect and human rights, along with food, healthcare, housing and civil liberties.And somewhere along the line, that became a radical opinion.

So nice that Signal blocks Microsoft's Windows Recall. But some wonder why Signal is still centralized..

When you see nuclear fission energy being hyped at the same time as military build-up, you know that they are connected by plutonium. Plutonium is a (very dangerous) byproduct of nuclear fission.

This is always how capitalism does things. One lie justifies another lie.

Project Israhell is proudly showing the world what levels of brutalism capitalism is capable of.How can people be surprised that corporate news media prefer to keep this hidden.

Sorry, but there can be no sympathy in the world for the miserable behavior of the Israhellish.What is the UN going to do with this particular 'member state'?

@tyil Was it a good idea of the UN to give a single member state the right to paralyze it?

@tyil I'm afraid that if the UN is unable to adapt, it will one day find itself in a death trap.

The rise of global boycotts against Israel’s genocide in GazaFrom streets to supermarkets, global boycotts for Gaza have grown as a fragile ceasefire holds for now. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/28/the-rise-of-global-boycotts-against-israels-genocide-in-gaza?traffic_source=rss

@markhburton If only we could have a political party that would listen to its voters. Not just before elections, but always.
