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.

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

One way window heat shield. Reflects 85‰ of the UV back out. Sticks to the window using only water.

Noticeable difference in temperature for any sun-facing windows

wait, how did babies back in the day (~1000s years ago) survive?

For real, this is such a great move. Oh sure, the government could just ban nipples in general, but good luck enforcing that when it gets mildly warm and every scottish man rips their shirt off

“Tribal knowledge.”

• image: We, clan. Together, strong.
• reality: Ask Tommy if he remembers how to reset the printer

Though, I actually like this one. It’s a pretty cool phrase you can use anywhere.

mathematician: what about a sphere instead of a room?

from the tardygrade’s perspective is it playing a large violin or a normal-sized cello?

I’ve read the comments, still unsure what is happening, and no I’m not gonna watch a 20min video on something that someone can summarise in 2 paragraphs.
