@passthejoe Look no further than vim and rsync.

@ChrisMayLA6 Add to that the difference in taxes and political systems which also adds to price differences.

@ChrisMayLA6 True. But then they aren't "true" capitalists, since they choose a less efficient form of organization for acting on the market. ;)

@lain I suspect they work fairly well with my modus operandi, when it comes to "vibe coding". That is...

1. Keep it short, smal functions, not more than 10-20 lines of code at most.

2. Keep it checkable. Make sure that the code does something that you can easily check.

I've been fairly successful with 1 & 2 using free models.

@lain Interesting... that's nothing! I thought it would require at least several GPU cards and at least 20k USD or more in hardware investment.

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the truth! The only anti-dote I have ever discovered, is confederations of smaller companies, and within companies, heavy decentralization, where the decision power is moved as close to the worker as possible.

That is how I run my own company, and it is an incredibly flexible and cost effective way to run a company.

I am surprised that not more companies choose this organizational model.

I call it the peer2peer organizational model.

@ChrisMayLA6 Ahh... got it. Thank you!

@mansalia @lain It means that only people agreeing with those ideologies are allowed to contribute, and deviants and apostates are hounded, insulted, blocked, doxed etc.

S-toppen Anders Ygeman vill inte bo i invandrarområden

Underbart! Röstboskapen får flytta till invandrarområden och dras med att få invandrare flyttade till sig, medans S-topparna bor kvar i sina egna rikemansområden.

Det är för mig en gåta hur någon arbetare någonsin skulle kunna tänka sig att rösta på S.

Interesting! Peru turns around from considering buying swedish fighter planes, to again consider american ones. President made a U-turn, and defense minister resigns.

Sounds like a pretty good example of bribes to me! 😎

@ChrisMayLA6 We must keep in mind that, as an organization grows, the more political it becomes, and the more you can compare a manager with a politician.

That means, when you look at the industry giants, that you'll find plenty of inefficiency and things you thought only politicians would do.

@ChrisMayLA6 Who is the bear and the frog? I missed some nick names.

@wzqtparor Wayland is for nerds! Cool kids use X11!

@lain with some things.

Or rather, I say, yes, I can help you but I won't sign any code of conduct or anything that leads to more admin for me. Then they always stop asking, and I am happy that way.

@lain This is the truth. But a downside of this, is that a lot of open source projects are very, very socialist and woke. That means, there's a huge amount of conservative, libertarian and christian technologists who won't take part, which is a huge loss for the fediverse and open source.

I agree that siphoning off EU money is good... we must drain the beast, but not at the price of being woke and socialist.

That is why I say "no" to the linux foundation whenever they ask me to help them
