  • theres no way that wouldnt be gamified and taken advantage of. the whole idea behind open source is that it subverts the (programmed) urge to provide knowledge and products for profit, rather than the betterment of society.

    if there is always a monetary incentive, it undermines the work of freeing people from paid slop, digital enslavement, and subscription services. it is a work of passion, and love, and it should remain unchained by something as illusory and temprorary as money.

    that being said we do “live in a society” and people need to eat. if you use a program a lot and have money to spare, donate to your devs. we shouldnt lock open source behind a pay wall. that defeats the purpose of open source. devs are always more than welcome to do a hybrid of open and closed source of they wish.




  • feudalisms biggest enemy was capitalism. it perfected slavery and organized everyone willingly in exchange for stable trade of goods and services that they otherwise would not have access to. it lead to the industrial revolution, and its fast growth quickly convinced formerly feudal countries (like japan, as an example) to modernize their technological standards, as welll as their economies, so they could participate in that same system. out of fear of being left behind.

    obviously capitalism has its flaws, its a horrible system with an expiration date that seems to be only a few short decades away now. and ironically its likely going to be surpassed by techno feudalism, or if a miracle happens, some form of democratic socialism.














  • brother, we can all read, and we can all see you are full of shit. lmao.

    im gonna make some beef souvlaki and tzatziki sauce, then probably go and make sweet, passionate love to my wife, if we arent too full after dinner, then watch our programs until we fall asleep.

    you can jerk yourself off in the comments, and bullshit the internet to your hearts content.

    good luck kiddo, you’re gonna need to get a lot better at this if you want to be the “bestess ninernet debatoh” someday, lmao.


  • gate keeping an imaginary gate again. arguing for the sake of argument. incorrectly.

    nobody is saying it requires video, just that its common for podcasts to have it. which it is. and if people want to host a video version on peerview, they have that option. and it doesnt make it less of a podcast to have video.

    there are audio only podcasts, and optional audio +/- video podcasts. they are all considered podcasts. you just have more options to view as well as listen, if you choose.

    also the majority of the top 100 and top 150 lists of podcasts all have video counterparts (google it) so lets not spread misinformation to fit our narrative, this number is also drastically increasing year over year. do the majoriry of ALL podcasts also have video? no. most amateur or smaller / creatively different podcasts dont require video in addition. they get by just fine on audio, or dont think video helps them creatively, or maybe they just cant afford the setup they want yet.

    bottom line. a podcast can have video. and still be considered a podcast. and it can be hosted on peerview if people wish, and still be a podcast.

    theres zero wiggle room on this quantified fact.

    1 + 1= 2, gravity exists, the world is round, water is wet, im gonna go make breakfast for my wife and then go for a bike ride.

    i love you bro, go hug someone today, because i cant be there to do it myself. i hope you have a good meal soon.
