You mean like Tic Tac Toe within a bigger Tic Tac Toe? That was the original idea by VSauce, but I changed it to # of games won because it felt more intuitive when playing

Yeah I thought so, I hoped the quotations would make it less so.

I still think it’s a catchy description though so I’m not changing it yet

The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?

Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).

There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.

If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?

The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then

I wish there was infrastructure for them where I live, I hate driving and I like cycling

Always the Agile circlejerk certification

Can many of us also get an agile certification and coach the proletariat to seize the means of production?

Any remote login happens via VPN.

I don’t support this, but you don’t need VPNs for remote logins. SSH exists, it’s just that VPNs are a better solution for companies among other things.

Profit maximization and personal gain over the many is where cooperation goes to die.

Some small companies can do a good job, and sometimes bigger ones too, but they’ll be crushed by other companies that exploit their employees forcing them to do the same if they want to stay in the business.

It represents your partial ownership of the company and property

The only way this can be done in a capitalist way, is by distributing exactly one company share for every employee that’s not tradeable at all, flattening the hierarchy completely, and making every decision in a direct democratic way.

Obviously the wise and good colonizers, that know what’s best for everyone everywhere

While the bright and “civilized” Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.

You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it’s entirely untrue.

It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated “opinions” are flung around more than ever.

World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they’re not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.

Of course it’s not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they’re accusing others of.

More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It’s hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn’t matter much when you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.

Please educate yourself, you’re embarrassing yourself and your people.

The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.

I abandoned it at some point in the second half. It was getting even more interesting but summer was ending and I no longer had as much time.

shits themselves dehydrated

I’m dying

The ads are not the main problem, the main problem is how the “personal ads” are chosen by harvesting and sharing all your private data.

A tracker blocker is a more suitable solution along with the ad blocker.
