sagartewari01 commented on Paying for Open Source Contributions   formidable.com/blog/2019/... · Posted by u/jevakallio

My opinion is that open-source contributions stems from passion. People do it and implement something because they're passionate about it.

When you attach any money to it, it becomes tainted with responsibility and emotions. Such as, "should I work on this an extra hour and burn myself out and get those extra 40 bucks for dinner tonight?" That formula doesn't make individuals want to work more on open-source.

Sure they push them towards doing stuff in open-source but that usually almost never leads to creating great pieces of work.

One great and amazing thing that open-source thought us is that individuals can group together and work on amazing things without any economical reward. To me it was always a fascinating experiment outside the usual realms of politics, economics, social-studies.

Nobody would have ever imagined it to work without "money", but it does and it will continue to work. In fact, instead of pushing capitalism mentality inside of open-source we should be doing exactly the opposite: push open-source mentality in other parts of our society.

What you are saying is wrong on so many levels. Be grateful that I'm not just replying with a 'scre w you' or 'put something in your mouth', cos that's what you deserve.

You might be on to something here. I could see this editor working really well in a terminal environment.

You could try running it in neovim terminals.

It doesn't try to read thoughts. It uses commands that are sent to the tongue/mouth to form syllables. We're nowhere near being able to trace / decode thoughts.

10 years ago I watched a national geographic documentary about something quite similar to this one. The results were also apperantly impressive. It's weird they haven't progressed much during this period. Sadly I can't find any resources about that project anywhere.

What is the problem again?

You used google while signed in and now the world knows you like barbies?

Serious question, because I do not feel violated.

sagartewari01 · 6 years ago
You make that sound trivial. It isn't just about barbies. Technology has infinitely times multiplied our communication bandwidth. Giving government complete control over the personal data of people literally makes the government all seeing eye, which has never been possible before.

You might trust your government enough to be okay with this, but don't forget that government is made up of humans, with there own personal whims and idiocricies. Do you really want to live in a world where people around you might have power to completely end you? Will you be able to speak freely in such a world?

This level of power is a very new thing, and the people on higher order (wrongly) think that it's all good and they can keep going about there business as before.

Something has to change.

How tied to the internet will it be? How many callbacks to google will it have? Will it rely on google DNS?
