Did the jargon file fail to evolve, or did Raymond just stop maintaining it? It roughly coincides with when the full extent of his brain breakage became apparent ("anti idiotiarian manifesto.")
Or maybe it represents the end of when the Stallmanites, The corporate types (incl. Raymond) and the Linux Fandom actually saw eye-to-eye.
You'd be surprised how big the Libertarian/UBI overlap is.
At the most basic level, there's a pretty core libertarian belief that the government can't or shouldn't make decisions and individuals can or should. In this framework, giving money away to individuals will lead to it being spent better than if it was used for actual welfare. So although Libertarians tend to be anti-welfare, sometimes they make an exception for UBI, because it's still a free market solution.
Some progressives like it to, of course. Means testing is a burden, and limiting what you can spend (for example) WIC on can feel a lot like haves trying to control the lives of the have-nots.
For TREACLES though, I think there's a more pathological element at play: they plan to put everyone out of work and need a way to avoid a torches and pitchforks scenario.
I was going to say that but couldn't find the article that told me.
Hasn't Future Perfect always been a TREACLES mouthpiece?
Thanks for the courtesy, but I don't think I'd want to join it with my internet arguments/drama/sneering handle!
(I think Bioshock managed to do this for seasteading and biohacking)
Zuck is an antihero at best in The Social Network. It is not a sympathetic portrayal and it's not subtile. Trent Reznor did the soundtrack ffs.
That actually sounds pretty good, how do people get invited these days?
The dot com bubble and it's consequences...
This is like Seasteading but for the less nautically inclined right? No mention of Fordlândia...
They're so enamored with the individualism of a lone genius org coming up with the solution all on its own and so opposed to any for of collective solution requiring trust (because of their troubled childhoods?) that the only acceptable thing has to be a technical wizbang solution. Only now enough eyeballs have seen the problem and realized the obvious: no such wizbang solution can exist (if there's even a well defined problem!)
Me, the sicko outside the window: Yes!
