@pants @balrogboogie "free" is a trap word to obscure the flows of power. if you say "water should be free for Nestlé to come and fence it", you are empowering Nestlé to the detriment of people (BSD license). If you say "the rivers in our city should be freely accessible by fascist warships", you are giving resources to fascists (GPL Freedom 0).
The refusal of the free software movement to take a stance against capitalists has empowered capitalists, because Amazon can get a lot more power out of all the "freely" available code than individual workers can, in the same way that Nestlé can get a lot more power out of a spring than you can.
Moreover the very unspoken premise that this is a problem solvable by licenses in a legalist framework pressuposes that laws and courts are good and work for the people, preventing reforms of the real cause of software injustice: private ownership of the means of production. The freedom to see the source code means nothing if the server farms, networks, computer factories etc. are all controlled by a handful of capitalists.

This is just a PSA to treat yourself goddammit!
Especially if you come from a background of religious sexual repression and shame- celebrate your freedom from it and loudly if you wish.
No more shame or fucked up ideas of purity. Fuck that noise.

PoE servers still strugglin'
Listening to The Midnight and cleaning up my gmail, archiving and getting items ready to hand over to someone else that is taking over web dev for a small business I've helped for about a decade now.
Weird how one gets attached to people/projects even on a "just business" level, it's still emotional in a way, to finally put my "web dev" hobby to rest (aside from strictly personal projects I may pursue).
