   I was a guest on two podcasts this week. And while they both are very tech related and the current issue is way bigger than that I still think both got more important given the election results.

   A lot the infrastructures we depend on depend on the goodwill and support of a bunch of people who just helped a fascist rapist become president again or at least did not have the guts to push back. Even a bit.

   And as people interested in the commons we need to rethink our approach.

     @tante 100%.

     ("Open Source" hasn't been cutting it as a "movement" for a long time, and we need to push back to everyone who wants to keep tech "free of politics". That's a dog whistle.)

     My main point is that "Open Source" no longer cuts it.

     Rocketman and Life is Tetris repeated this.

     @tante it never did, though not just for that reason

     (when i read "open source", i think a corporate-aligned thing where the primary purpose is to cut costs and exploit)
