  • I get the aspect that usage of open source projects don’t necessarily benefit their dev (for better or worse), but at the end of the day promotion of a software is still promotion of its dev (even if to a much smaller degree) and consequently their reach. I can understand why people like the op would have issues with it being actively recommended.





  • I had a general positive overview about Yanis Varoufakis work since his first blog posts about his collab with valve (at that point I was just a lib), and even after becoming more familiar with Marxism and some of Lenin works (I’m still very green on theory overall) I’d still think that his points about the current euro economies were useful to understand.

    But then about 10 months ago I saw him talking with someone online and explaining this “techno feudalism” rationalization and he completely lost me.






  • Sorry to say but “BRICS” is far from “made up nonsense” here in Brazil. There’s plenty of export and some industries that got a boost thanks to it, it’s a very real economic block. I don’t know why you would think that it is not real, especially now that we are setting up a payment system to avoid the dollar usage.
