The Internet was built as a kind of decentralized democracy. Change is slow and messy but it protects us from a single entity forcing their will on us.

When you move your data and social graph to a closed platform you vote for authoritarian rule.

Such choices never end well.

How do people feel about a "pay to version" FOSS funding strategy? Where all source is open, but a certain dollar amount is set, and once it's reached a new release is made. So the paid advantage is pre-built binaries, and updates in distro repos and homebrew taps. But anyone who builds from source is ok.

The FCC introduced the Fairness Doctrine in 1949, requiring broadcasters to present both sides of controversial issues. In 1987, during the Reagan administration, the rule was eliminated. Within a year Rush Limbaugh was on the air. From that point on, it is pretty much a straight line to the media landscape we have today.

The pro-Trump media world peddled the lies that fueled the Capitol mob. Fox News led the way. -

I think we can definitively say the same thing about the entirety of the last 4 years.

The various crises, from COVID to politics to the economy, are all being laid bare, and the reformist approaches that have been used to try to eliminate this in the past have been shown to have failed.

There is a lot of work to be done still, but, if done correctly, these last 4 years could lead to profound changes in the ways we organize ourselves and relate to one another socially and politically.

Apparently the reason the cops didn’t do shit at the US Capitol is because after the BLM marches in June the DC police adopted new regulations to not violently engage with protesters. Some are all like “if it was black people it would have been very different!” yet it’s BECAUSE of BLM that the police stood down. The rules work both ways. Also, I feel like this is pretty important information… that very few people are mentioning.
