Frame 3 actually is:
“Thanks for your work of love and passion and curiosity, and freely contributed open source software, I like it! With the help of amassed capital power, I’m going to blanket the market until my new company’s name is all anyone can think of when they mention your previously free and fun hobby and are happy to subscribe to my monthly fee and privacy invasion of users which allows me to further monitor the efforts and contributions of others.”
That is why (A)GPL and not MIT/BSD, that is why no CLA.
I don’t understand why so many open source devs just gift their work and time to big corporations by choosing permissive licenses or signing away their contributions via CLA.
Bruh, genuinely same. I love FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but I loathe the license for it.
I ain’t never giving my shit to a billionaire to allow them to make something proprietary.
Should be free/ by donation for personal use, licensed for business use
Topic aside: handmade, floating 3d speech bubbles!

Any time I talk about my hobbies, I get told that I have too much free time on my hands, and/or that I should turn said hobbies into a job/business.
It’s like people are so capitalism-brained that they can’t fathom someone having a passion for the sake of the passion itself, and not making a commodity out of it.
Also the phrase “you have too much free time on your hands” as a backhanded insult. People seem to abhor the idea of someone spending their time doing things for themselves instead of working. Or am I reading too much into that?
“if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life” yeah well nobody will pay me to sit in bed drinking beer all day so get fucked
yeah well nobody will pay me to sit in bed drinking beer all day
just get popular as a “just chatting” dork on twitch. ez clap
“just chatting” and it’s just a stream of me falling asleep because the mornign beer was not a good idea
Making money doesn’t necessarily equates to capitalism, especially if you’re your own boss
Oh hey my dad’s in a comic. I love him, but dear lord dad sometimes things that are technically possible to profit from are just things you do for the love of doing them
The fastest way to ruin a hobby is to make it a side hustle, or worse, your job.

“burn it all to the ground”…which, frankly, is a shit idea, because we are all in this boat and I’d rather see us all succeed than fail.
Do you think changing economic systems is equivalent to setting it all on fire?
No, but the majority of the “you’re not left enough” crowd disingenuously keeps bringing it up as the only solution, and don’t offer any positive or applicable alternatives.
Thats because it is the only solution, and the “you’re not left enough crowd” understands it is the only solution.
Maybe read Capital volumes 1-3 and then tell me you think “socialism or barbarism” isn’t an objectively(or as close to objective as one can be) correct take.
My friends, I am not saying the system is the best one, I am saying we need to come together and figure out how to make positive changes whole living in it, not wreck the joint Because our children have enough shit to deal with for thier future.
Reforming the system is a dead end, we have to replace if with socialism for the sake of our children.

Okay, well, you’re wrong, capitalism is a mathematically unsustainable system.
Bananas are strong together. Anarchist are working toward prefiguration. That is building a future with “no rule” inside current systems. We have to live within the current system, but we can build a better one. Working together maybe we can build a better boat.
Well, the first thing to be done in USA is to stop dis BS two party system. It is still better than only one, sure, but a working democracy should give more options and tools to make each individual’s opinion respected.
After that something like an initiative is needed so that a the people can commit changes to the constitution by winning a majority vote in the majority of states and one that counts for all states (changes to constitution have to win both majority votes)

I’m not American, but have similar struggles. Is this the kind of thing we can push locally then hope to expand out, or does it really have to come from the top down?
Actually you all probably have more local power than a lot of countries, so lots of opportunity to land and expand

I personally prefer to start locally and expand upwards. Especially here in switzerland where we value the right to have local laws very highly 😇
❤️exactly!
Joke’s on you capitalism, my employment EULA prohibits me from making outside income!
Don’t worry, I make sure at least 50% of my hobbies are just consumerism in a trenchcoat. This keeps the other 50% pure.
I’m at the stage of burnout where all my hobbies feel like extra jobs, or at the very least like chores.
Take a vacation from your hobbies, friend. If you’ve got collaborators, just let them know. They’ll understand
He better be using another folded sticky note to make those 3d instead of regular tape…
Looks like sticky notes cut into shape to me
I mean to make sure they’re lifted off the other sticky note like a spring. If he’s using tape he’s cheating.
