@aral Isnt all crypto bad though? Sure, proof of stake is better, but isnt it waste of energy as well?

#DigitalIssues

@aral You keep saying something along the lines of:

> In unchained/free software there's an expectation from the developer that people have to spend time to learn software. But think about the brain surgeon, he certainly dont have the time to do that!

I think it is worth exploring further. Could you flesh out your experience with these attitudes. And perhaps point out how it impacts specific projects?

#SmallWeb #TechnoChauvinism

@RosethornRangerTTV I havent seen this personally, could you provide examples?

@aral I know the admin. He is very pro corporate solutions, because he believes its the responsibility of corporations to serve digital solutions.

He very much dislikes those who talks down Meta because he doesnt agree that Meta is a bad company. He doesnt agree that Camebridge Analytica was due to Facebook. He believes that Meta has learned from their mistakes.

@aral I dont concider free software to be actually free. For software to be free, the people need control over the software to a certain extent.

Today free software tools gives open access to a lot of great tools, but tools that are developed to help the upper class suppress everybody else.

We need to take back control over development through connecting developers to the grass roots and let the grass roots finance the development.

@aral Yes, its a good foundation, except that it is branded as free software. Freedom can not be reduced to a binary state. Freedom is subjective and should be explored from many angles. A feminist lense, an engineers lens, an activist, an organizer and so on. Therefore, I like to use the more descriptive term open to describe these tools.
