  • It's a hard call at end of day. If you want it to all be privacy respecting and open source and decentralised then you're almost guaranteeing you won't make money from it.

    The alternative is ad based software that's free which is also garbage.

    Hard to find the balance between the two, can't think of many examples if any that actually work besides just making a paid product that's very good and hope it's better enough than the rest to be successful. But even then you likely will have to cross lines because you're just relying on viral luck at that stage.

  • Yep, I feel exactly the same way.

    When a cat wants to spend time with you they actually want to.

    You can smack a dog and do whatever you want to it and they'll still come running to spend time with you. It's not loyal, it's just stupid.

  • Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn't be the first back door that's live in Linux systems.

  • Gmail is still good for me at least. Does everything I want, doesn't need new features and I don't see ads or anything.

    What more would I get from someone else? I'm not going to pay for privacy at end of day.

  • Sure. But it's a two way street. Climate change is important but you don't realistically solve it by stopping everything coal powered tomorrow. You have to gradually introduce it.

    I don't know if it's a younger generation thing, but they're not patient and demand change now when it's just not realistic. Change is glacially slow. Voting in something that's not ideal is better than voting in something completely opposite.

    The more you allow that left or moderate side to win, the more the axis changes towards it, which is still a win if you're left/moderate as it moves it away from the right. It's this last bit some people don't understand.

  • Why is the onus on the left to vote left to promote left values? Because that's how voting works?

    I'm not sure how to answer that question. Reword it as "Why is the onus on the right to elect a right-wing candidate?" maybe to see.
