I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.

  • Europe asks if reviving nuclear is the answer to energy shocks

    Jump

  • Also nuclear is just way more expensive than renewables, so we could build way more renewables than nuclear

  • Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs

  • That's actually a really cool idea, will be using it! 

    Thanks ;)

  • You shouldn't have to justify your identity. Sexulatity are just labels, it doesn't really matter. Just identify as what you want / feel comfortable with! 

  • The open web isn't dying. We're killing it

    Jump

  • "We all are responsible for supporting the open web better!

    Anyways, please follow me on fucking Bluesky or Farcaster" (which is apparently some crypto shit Twitter alternative)

    This has to be sattire, right?

    How can you say, that we have an obligation to support the open web, while simultaneously only posting on commercial, semi closed platforms and ignoring the fediverse? 

  • If people can’t afford to do anything, then they don’t have freedom.

    Jump

  • That's basically the difference between positive and negative freedom. 

    Negative freedom is the freedom from restrictions (like nobody prohibiting you from walking) while positive freedom is the ability for you to do something (like being able to walk) 

  • ONLYOFFICE flags license violations in “Euro-Office” project

    Jump

  • I found it pretty strange in the first place, that they used OnlyOffice as a base and not LibreOffice or Collabora

  • We should consider making a clear policy on AI contributions for the piefed repository

    Jump

  • There is no way to verify it. Sometimes it is quite obvious though. It's not really about eliminating it completely (although I wish I could). It's more about taking a clear stance and maybe keep off a few people, that think they can "help" with AI. Maybe we could ban people, when it's obvious. Although we should always strive to still create a welcoming culture and not create too much trouble for the people, that don't use AI.

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

  • That was indeed a really interesting read! It really made me think more deeply about software licencing. I didn't quite understand what the authors problem with GPLv3 was though? That the companies are scared of it? Isn't that kind of a good thing? I don't want amazon to make massive profits off of my work, because if that's possible to do, then that would necessarily mean, that my goal as a developer (to protect my work from exploitation while helping the common good) isn't working. I am curious what you have taken away from the essay though? How do you protect your code from corporate exploitation?

  • Wow, I didn't think, I would get such an interesting book recommendation out of this. Thank you so much!

    Jump

  • Free software works though?? Also if you want some real world examples of anarchist-like principles being applied in praxis, without fascism, look up Rojava or the Zapatista-Movement.

  • Isn't protecting workers from exploration on of the core goals of communism?

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • I mean, it's less about the intention and more about the reality of software development. Just because the developers back then didn't chose to do software development in an anarchist way (although I think a lot of them had that kind of mindset), doesn't mean, that they didn't do it using anarchist principles.

  • Alright, thanks ;)

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

  • Are you shure about that? Because that would mean, that every piece of software, that hasn't been released to the public would automatically be free software, which would make the label pretty meaninglessness.

  • Sorry for being a bit of an idiot, but what is praxis?

  • While I agree, that Marxism-Leninism or Russian-Style "communism" have nothing to do with free software, I would also not call them real communism. Marx litteraly defined communism as a classless, stateless society. There is no such thing as a communist state. I also would argue, that free software is fundamentally anti-capitalist, because it rejects the basis of capitalism, which is private ownership of the means of production (which in this case would be software). So, in my opinion you cannot simultaneously believe that capitalism is the best way to organize software development while believing that free software is the best way to organize software development.
