it’s it though?

in our Fediverse bubble yes.

but so many average people just don’t care.

It’s just a dream, so I don’t know ^^

But 6 and 9 can be confused when you don’t know the orientation to read them in

Either 69 or 96 🤔

Wow. I had never seen the full image. thanks!

For the first and second point however, I’ve learned that whatever the others don’t know today, that’ll be my state of lack of knowledge in a few months or years. Anything that isn’t a one off script I generally document/comment because I’ve had some projects when I was young, and couldn’t work in them after a few months of break because I didn’t understand anything.

That’s when I understood, that “others” is just me in a few months.

This is some high quality stuff here - being able to recognise many of them

And what do you do after three years? Then the cash will be used up.

Mozilla isn’t just developing the Firefox browser. Technology is inherently political - and educating people and influencing actors politically on the free and open web is very important. Firefox is much less likely to mis-align away from their browser users than chrome simply because they don’t have the misaligned incentives like the chrome Browser which is equally made by the largest internet advertising firm of the world.

They even has created FirefoxOS for phone at some point in the past 10 years. But I don’t remember what happened with that.

Ah, okay! Then my worries don’t apply. They may run all kinds of dangerous experiments knowing they’d survive.

I’ve yet to see any single new law proposal, that actually tackles this problem rather than misusing it’s emotional trigger to get acceptance for surveillance and control

Whether the person enjoys life or not is another question.

Haha. I think we threw that question out when we assumed immortality.

While my initial reaction was “Yes”, I think that it’s rather “No”.

There are massive amounts of things to build and stuff to discover. And almost all of it, especially the physics, chemistry etc. stuff needs experimentation. Plenty of people had died or chronically made it difficult to do anything because of scientific experiments (think of Marie Curie or imagine what happens when you try to rediscover nuclear energy).

In our scenario, we say, that the person is immortal, but it could always happen, that they get stuck with certain illnesses or co. which significantly reduces their possible auctions. at some point they may be so limited, that they cannot do certain experiments at all and get stuck there forever.

I mean… it’s also a step back - which kinda fits the entire fiasco well

so pathetic. many people download Chrome or firefox add their browser on their first time on an Windows. it’s completely automatic these days in their brain. these people still get even more convinced of their opinion by this interception

Xcoin incoming…

I am exactly doubting your suggestion of tax paid donations. I don’t think this will happen, unless we actually come together and try to actually enforce this on the political level in various countries.

After all, open source software is an essential and critical foundation since many decades - but I’m not sure, whether there is any government that has made a pledge to donate a certain amount of money per year into the development and funding of such general purpose software. (Maybe I’m wrong though.)

Before the fediverse can get any public funding, we need to make some political efforts. the UN is the largest such institution - and it took all the fiasco with the 2 world war to get many countries pledge to donate to it every year…

A decentralised platform like the Fediverses won’t easily work with nation states and their taxes. Even with Wikipedia today, it’s not funded directly via any government - but rather by certain universities giving some money to it + all the private doners.

And even if we get that working, power politics will mess this up like so often when things actually get troublesome.

It might be interesting to explore cryptocurrencies as for donations here though. They do have international liquidity and they can’t be misused foe power politics.

Thinking like a scientist. Critical and evidence -based thinking and action can be unintuitive at times - but it’s the most realistic way to perceive reality. It needs practice, but is tremendously helpful. And the world also really needs it.

without being an expert in that, it’s hard to know what’s owned by them and what’s not…

lol, this is such an capitalistic free market response 😅
