Thanks for your comment. I am not quite sure about which opinion you are referring to. Who is trying to gain control over all open source for the sake of corporations?

@namark Thank you for your input.

However, I find your approach to facepalm without having actually read the articles in question a bit strange. Is that how you always engage in discussions? Are you here to talk about something else altogether? You are welcome to share your opinion, but I kindly ask you to make reference to the content of the articles at hand.

Your other comment makes me actually think that you actually agree with one point the author is trying to make, namely that the industry needs to change.

Please consider having a look at this other writing as well, in case you want to get some more inspiration:

Free as in... freedom?

Free as in... work for free.
Free as in... profits for free.
Free as in... free to destroy our common future.
Free as in...

What are you referring to when you use the word freedom?

I think "freedom" is one of the most popular words that is being used in a way that it can mean just what you choose it to mean.

Recently, I have been looking into the question of licencing and I am glad that I found some approaches that resonate a lot with my take on the things. I came across the following article and I wholeheartedly recommend to read it.

Finnish politics in Finnish 

@whirli Toisaalta ajattelen että ihmiset käyttäytyvät somessa eri lailla kuin oikeassa elämässä, eli sivistymättömämmin. Se että kanssakäyminen tapahtuu aina enemmän siellä, mahtaisi kyllä värjätä asennetta yleensäkin.

@whirli Tokihan keskustelukulttuurin luovat ihmiset jotka siihen osallistuvat. Tarkoitin vain että siellä dominoi sellainen kulttuuri. Jonkun verran voisi kyllä syyllistää jotain algoritmeja jotka valitsevat sisältöä, jos haluaa teknologiasta puhua.

@whirli Ymmärrän. Sanoisinpa että ihan yleensä poliitikkojen keskustelukulttuuri lähestyy aina enemmän vihamielistä Facebook/Twitter rehvastelua. Osaksi se kyllä on ollut sellaista jo kautta aikojen. En voi lakata ajattelemesta että somet ovat muutenkin rapistamassa yhteiskuntaa.

Joo, niinhän se on. Ja semmoista se on suurilta osin ympäri maailmaa.

Ajatellanko siellä muuten ollenkaan että puhe vakaasta taloudesta on yhtä tyhjän kanssa, jos se on juuri se talousmalli, joka on luonut sen ympäristökatastrofin missä nykyään olemme?

Was your data leaked in the #Facebook Data Breach? You Can Sue Facebook for Monetary Damages

If you live in the #EuropeanUnion or European Economic Area, you can seek monetary damages from Facebook. The #GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) gives you the right to monetary compensation where your data protection rights have been breached.

There are no evil plans put in place by satanic lizardpeople, who are reigning the world and intending to turn sheeple into 5G transistor radios.

The actual conspiracy is the lack of transparency of the political institutions and the corporate lobbies that undermine democratic processes by pushing their profit-making agenda.

That is the real threat and it is just business as usual: irresponsibility voted into office and corruption as economic policy.

So, the following report does not come as a great surprise for those of us who were already aware of the issue:

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

Hey!

It's time to unlurk myself in order to share something important with you. I was recommended to check this out and it was definitely worth doing so, trust me:

In case you liked it and want to pass on the message, please note that there are quite a few translations available.

@realtheoretiker@social.tchncs.de @kuketzblog Ich denke deine Behauptung trifft den wahren Kern der Sache: damit die Konsumgesellschaft das Wirtschaftssystem am Laufen hält, muss man massiv sein Verhalten mittels psychologischser Manipulation, auch Marketing genannt, beeinflussen um nicht nachhaltige, unnötige oder gar schädliche Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu erwerben. Hauptsache die Kasse klingelt...

@Tobiwan @kuketzblog Da bin ich ganz deiner Meinung, denn das wäre in der Tat ein guter Anfang um klare Verhältnisse zu schaffen. Leider gibt es wenig Interesse an transparenten Machtstrukturen, was ja auch Bände über die antidemokratische Grundeinstellung vieler Machthaber spricht. Wo kämen wir da hin, wenn sie auf einmal verantwortlich für ihre Taten wären? 🤔
