It was more in response to your comments. I don’t think anyone has a problem with useful FOSS alternatives per se.

So, lick the boot instead of resisting you say?
Edit: actually, read zerakith’s comment instead.
Honestly, considering the genre and the ambition and intent of the song, the lyrics are a notch above the competition at the time. Lynott wrote some really good lyrics at times and while this song is admittedly not the best example of his writing, at least it’s got believable characters and setting. I’d rather hear a song about young working class Irish people and their life-affirming ways than what most other hard rock acts were writing about in the 70s and 80s.
OK, I’m imagining it now.
A reverse google image search gave me this: https://www.deviantart.com/suddenlyabird/art/Molly-Tov-Eat-The-Rich-Red-Black-617071486 Seems to be the original, but I don’t know for sure.
I’m actually starting to doubt that he’s a force for good in this world…
How very “eco” of them. Thanks for the explanation, I’m never going to buy anything from Epson ever again (not that I was planning to, but…)
they have a page counter that bricks the printer
They have what? Does the printer stop working after a set amount of pages printed or what does this mean?
On the other hand, there’s a billion saunas around the city if you want hot and dry
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin
I lived like this most my life, but with kids this breaks down completely. The only time noone is bothering you - kids or coworkers - is at night.
Sounds exactly like something I want to watch someone else play but never would enjoy playing myself. Have to check it out.
Did you swap the a and e on purpose?
I think if you’re interested then it’s the sort of thing maybe best learned from books directly.
I agree, thanks for the recommendations! Exactly what I was looking for.
So, honest question, genuinely not here to argue but to learn: how is this approach scalable to a society of millions, or even billions? What are some thoughts on this?
It seems to me that any society in history that operates this way successfully consists of small groups of people living very differently than we generally do today, often sharing a common ethnic or familial bond or some common purpose. Although I’m sympathetic to anarchism in principle and in smaller groups, human society seems to have gone beyond any hope of a successful anarchic turnover long ago. Any breakdown of societal order seems to result in bad actors taking advantage, even when such developments seem positive at first. And any positive ahierarchical community that becomes too big eventually becomes corrupted it seems.
Apps are challenging to preserve, but it’s the MMORPGs and online games that are almost impossible since there is no game without active servers and people playing the game. Hardware can be emulated and code preserved, so the apps you’re talking about could be preserved IF Apple, Google et al wanted to - which of course probably won’t happen, but still.
