For things I might try selling: BUSL. It isn’t FOSS. It’s source available, but it turns into FOSS after some time period.

Yes! Time bomb licenses are the way forward

how do you make that calculation just out of interest. I “vibed” 5x but didn’t know how to calculate it

But I need to be heard and seen at all times! I have an attention deficit problem!

I dream of a world where UBI is ubiquitous and people can just eke out a living following their passion projects and the need for closed source projects just vanishes…

Rant/Fantasy:
I also dream of a world where capitalism exists but there’s a mandatory enforcement of the Gini Coefficient being less than 5%. As in, people still trade goods/services with each other, can absolutely make money, corner markets and bribe regulators to keep their competitors out, with the caveat that the most they can ever make by putting in such time and effort towards corruption makes them at maximum only 5x richer than the average person.

A hard cap limit on the maximum wealth would IMO enable capitalism to actually function properly, the state wouldn’t have such strong powers over the individual, and nor will the individual wield really that much power over others. I’m probably veering now into anarcho-capitalism, which is always dangerous territory because the greatest propenents for it tend to be cryptobro eugenic shitheads…

Edit: Oh and such enforcement would require some kind of god-level regulator without any humans in the loop, so I’m going to call it “anarcho-muted-capitalism-AIkillerdroneregulator”. I’m also going to stop talking now.

Polly Barton, who selected and translated the stories into English, tells me that, although Dazai may be relatively new to English-speaking readers, in Japan, he is “one of the big three, along with Yukio Mishima and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, that everyone talks about as the fathers of modern Japanese literature”.

Her parents knew what they were doing there…

Isn’t it, son of Duploman

I genuinely used to believe this too, but the CCC opened my eyes to anarchism, and then HN opened my eyes to plutarchism.

I iterate now between several modes of: “GPLv3 is the best license humanity can use to better itself, decentralised projects are mandatory to keep authoritarian regimes at bay, but damn do I love using MIT projects in my hobby code projects, and hmm it would be nice to make some side income with said hobby project…”

Each of these contradictions of the other, which bothered me in my late 20s, but now I think it’s relatively normal to inhabit several conflicting ideals at once

The lyrics of the rest of the song aren’t that great

 Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
     Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe
           I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see, tell me who you're gonna believe

        Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

So either the chorus is pure sarcasm, or his day to day to life is so unbearable that he genuinely wishes to go back to a time/place where the grass is green, and a time when he was still attracted to women

Yandex is deptessingly good

I had a high school friend who was a rich kid. He never did the work, and always took credit from others. When he injured his friend on a hunting trip in his 20s due to drug abuse, he paid for a newspaper to write a sympathy story for him of how he tried to attone for it.

He has an h-index of 90 and 200,000 citations. He is not a professor. His family just owns a paper mill.
