And Jellyfin downloads start spiking.

Huh, coincidence I guess.

It’s never an option to tax the megacorporations that force us to use public roads that they don’t pay for to get to work is it?

Good ol corporate socialism. Privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

Tax the megacorps more and use that to maintain roads and expand public transit providing an actual choice for people rather than forcing the individual to buy a car, pay for maintenance, for registration, for fuel, for a license, for tolls, all just to get to work.

It shouldn’t in theory. Worst case is if bitwarden closes source, just fork the latest current open version and use it.

Ideally, a group, either independent or joining with vaultwarden devs, can build/maintain the frontend for vaultwarden that is bitwarden.

Whoever says that should provide you with their government identification, credit card numbers, and full personal medical history. Oh, and especially their browser history. Mobile and pc.

They have nothing to hide, right?

Hmm

Sounds like a great idea to tax the wealthy in those areas and use it to fund the public services like roads that they force their employees to use to drive to work.

And maybe some public transit too so you don’t need to use a road. Or a car. Freedom of choice and all that.

But yeah, they’re gonna try to tax them more and more because we certainly couldn’t gain energy independence, oh no no.

Wonder when the solar tax comes in. Gotta tax the sun for giving the plebians free energy. Damn commie sun.

Hey now. I’m American.

And I agree with this message.

It doesn’t exist yet 😅 as I said, still learning and trying to avoid using AI as a lot of vibe coded discord clones popped up. I did compile a list (which probably needs updating)

You’re right. And that’s why more of us need to contribute and spread the word of projects to support them.

Honestly, FOSS is our last bastion against this consumerist hellscape. I’m working on learning to build my own discord-like front end on matrix specifically for gaming. But I’m just one guy. We’ve all gotta pick where we place our effort and support those around us similarly.

Vaultwarden taking over bitwarden, should they shut doen as open source, I think would be entirely worthy. But it might need more people to either help vaultwarden or maintain it on their own, you’re right.

To me, seeing and learning about all of these projects gives me hope. All of these people and communities working to build things out of passion and dedication, because they care and want to provide value to others. No profit motive necessary. We just need to be there to support them as we’ve tied capital to our survival currently.

You tell me. Many people don’t like dialectical thinking.

But this makes me think back to a video I saw not long ago about clean room engineering.

Now, while obviously dangerous for open source, could we not utilize AI in the same way to legally recreate proprietary software and code and release it as open source? As a means of fighting back?

Has Vaultwarden said anything yet? I imagine that, if necessary, given that bitwarden’s client is still open, at the point they choose to try and close it, we, the users, can fork it and establish it for vaultwarden, correct? Or, maybe even the vaultwarden team will think about forking it themselves and making a light client as well to pair with the current server.

But Vaultwarden can exist without “leeching” they just haven’t needed to yet. That’s more symbiotic than parasitic. The parasite class just took over Bitwarden after all.

I’m getting more involved in that I’m discovering more open source projects that I can support.

Open source really gives me hope. Instead of a profit motive, communities form and work together out of passion and dedication to a project or idea.

That’s really invigorating to me. And, in many ways, can often be a big fuck you to our capitalist overlords. I’m working on presentations and such to teach my friends and spread the word about various projects and better op sec to make it all the harder to harvest our data.

Virginians, you officially have a cuck problem. Or a findom problem. Or both in your democratic representatives.

Don’t get me wrong, we all do, the democratic party would rather suckle the teat of billionaires than EVER do anything to help the working class.

At the point that you ignore the will of the people through the most democratic method, their votes, what is holding up the government besides the good will of said people?

Fuck the parasites. Fuck the billionaires. They want to cry that “tax the rich” is akin to a racial slur. They’re lucky that’s what most people are saying, it’s the moderate position. But making the rule of law worthless and leaving no methods to make change?

You’re fast tracking revolution.

Let me know when we’re ready.

Polls don’t change things.

Unrelated, how are pitchfork and torch sales doing?

That’s a start.

Why not have it be similar to how the pope is elected by having the circuit and district court judges vote to nominate and congress would vote to approve. Checks and balances and all that. Congress is feckless right now though, it needs its own reform to be held through RCV, abolish the Senate, expand the house based on the cubed root of the population, and fill seats based on proportional representation in the vote.

But fat chance that ever happens. We couldn’t dream of having black and brown people and women and working class people represented could we?

10 bucks says the studies were paid for by coffee and fruit industries.

Idiocracy was a prophecy.

28% are part of politics and/or are capitalists that findom those in politics.

If there’s no point in voting, what’s the point in following the law at this point? That’s the only thing holding up this system of governance, the will of the people. Should the people feel the government has become tyrannical (aka consistently ignoring the direct democratic will of the people through their votes) then it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish it. The Declaration of Independence says as much.
