The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?

Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).

There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.

If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?

The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then

Any remote login happens via VPN.

I don’t support this, but you don’t need VPNs for remote logins. SSH exists, it’s just that VPNs are a better solution for companies among other things.

Profit maximization and personal gain over the many is where cooperation goes to die.

Some small companies can do a good job, and sometimes bigger ones too, but they’ll be crushed by other companies that exploit their employees forcing them to do the same if they want to stay in the business.

It represents your partial ownership of the company and property

The only way this can be done in a capitalist way, is by distributing exactly one company share for every employee that’s not tradeable at all, flattening the hierarchy completely, and making every decision in a direct democratic way.

The ads are not the main problem, the main problem is how the “personal ads” are chosen by harvesting and sharing all your private data.

A tracker blocker is a more suitable solution along with the ad blocker.

First off, I’ll start with the fact that PASOK ruined the country by spending massive loans with ridiculous irresponsibility, that’s Greece’s fault not Europe’s.

After that, Greece was now filled with debt it couldn’t pay off. Obviously not wanting to go bankrupt, the only way forward was taking another loan in order to “breathe air into the economy”. However, the Bailout Programmes actually did everything but that. By forcing Greece to put massive taxes on people and businesses, cutting wages and pensions, worsening work conditions, cutting social spending, the people were brought to their knees unable to get up. When no one has money, it’s only natural that innovation completely stops, no one risks opening a business, banks don’t risk giving out loans, and society crumbles while the common folk starve.

You might ask, was it a mistake, was the IMF stupid? Not at all. They were very successful in mitigating their own risks from Greece going bankrupt or leaving the Eurozone, mainly in erasing their dependency on Greek bonds. They never cared about our country or them getting their money back, they just cared about keeping us in a depression as long as their banks stay unaffected.

You can start by watching a few Greekonomics videos that are very objectively pointing out the way you are enslaving our country for your benefit and pinning the blame on us. You are piling us up on debt and enforcing rules against the people and small businesses, making it impossible for any real growth to happen when none of the simple people have enough money to spend on new businesses and goods. You are supporting the politicians that are in favor of your measures, because the Greek people work like dogs to create value that you will reap, and the government and rich class get to keep the change.

Please educate yourself before talking about other people’s countries

Remind me, was Marx a part of the struggling proletariat?

The answer is no, he was a human being that cared about others besides him and his own.

mdBook is also really cool

I’ve written a CLI tool in Rust as a front end to tar with gzip called Targez.

It can definitely just be done with an alias instead, but you can give it a try if you prefer something installable.

It does make sense why it works the way it works but I still don’t want it on my system

I actually am, usually companies force their shit down the consumers throats and they happily gulp it down, buying their new products when they come out as well. This is a pleasant surprise to me
