  • You’re the one applying morals where there is none.

    Communism is not about morality and we doesn’t have a moral judgment of the world. It’s simply looking at the material reality of things and them formulating ideas from that, the exact opposite of idealism (religion is a form of idealism).

    What that user said is an exageration, sure, but they are not far off. Your only options under capitalism are work and pray to earn enough to pay for rent, or live in the streets. There’s no choice here, you have no safety nets, no certainty.

    The reality is that the biggest FOSS projects are usually bankrolled by companies that need them, not because of some moral good, but because it makes more monetary sense to do it that way.

    Now for the other side, projects with no money incentive involved, where people contribute because they want too, usually are slow or in need of more contributors, precisely because, under capitalism, they don’t have enough free time, they need to worry about their full time job and all the other priorities in their lives before they can sit down and contribute some code.

    Again, there no moral judgement here, it’s simply a description of the material reality.


  • I’ve been using it for a few months now and I think it is great. I can’t compare it to Goodreads and others because I have not used them, but it is pretty straight forward to add a book, give a rating and write a review. I like the UI a lot too.

    The only problems I have with it is that the API they use is not very good for adding books in my native language and that backup is manual and I don’t know if it has integration with Android’s automatic backup.

    Also, it would be nice to be able to write multiple reviews for the same book, it would be cool to see how much my vision and opinion of a particular title changed over time. I should probably suggest this feature on their github.






  • I binge-watched Wonder Egg Priority on Saturday, on one hand it is charming as fuck with a great cast of characters while also being very empathetic with a range of difficult topics, on the other

    spoiler

    it fell into the trap of thinking it needed some grandiose plot and undermined some of early established plot points by the end, it also just straight up gave some very disgusting reasoning for early unresolved stuff.

    That being said, the trans representation in this anime is great and the good stuff, specially in the first half, is so good it’s probably gonna stick to me for a while.

    I also watched Perfect Blue for the first time and that was also great, I’ve managed to go in without being spoiled anything and it was a ride, that’s for sure.
