Diablo-D3 | tessier: its a global economy and its a hybrid of many different systems | Sep 28 00:10 |
Diablo-D3 | all major government vaults have gold in them... just not enough to cover all the currency | Sep 28 00:10 |
tessier | Right. So everyone is using fiat currency. | Sep 28 00:10 |
Diablo-D3 | yup, basically | Sep 28 00:10 |

twitter1 | The non free software world has a well deserved bad reputation for hypercompetivity, sexism and other bad behavior. | Sep 28 00:46 |
twitter1 | Free software is bringing change to that and the whole world by showing that scarcity rules do not apply everywhere, especially to culture. | Sep 28 00:47 |

twitter1 | The leaders of the movement are especially generous, gentle and helpful. It is inherent in the culture of sharing that free software is all about. | Sep 28 01:04 |
twitter1 | Exclusion and competition are inherent in non free software. | Sep 28 01:04 |

Diablo-D3 | the only way to get rid of sexism is to tell women to quit telling people they're women | Sep 28 01:14 |
twitter1 | He can hire Skud and others like her to monitor the forums and give sensitivity training to those who need it. It can be part of their routine anti-trolling efforts. | Sep 28 01:14 |
Diablo-D3 | if you quit talking about the issue, women can stop bringing it up | Sep 28 01:14 |
twitter1 | Ubutnu already has the community code in place. They can get people to help them enforce it. | Sep 28 01:14 |
twitter1 | but mostly, they can help people grow and get over the need to belittle others. | Sep 28 01:15 |

schestowitz | Or about those unicolour dudes with two wires sticking out of their heads | Sep 28 18:14 |
maxstirner1 | i get annoyed with the apple sophisticated consumer thing, but at the end of the day they just do very well in a jaded, late-capitalist marketplace | Sep 28 18:15 |
