  • Actually, it is very easy to get into despair, when you see how many evil and injustise is in the world. Sometimes I just want to kill myself. Sometimes I agree with Schopenhauer that life is a pendulum oscillating between boredom and suffering. Btw, I actually have birthday in the same day of year as him. While he was inspired by oriental philosophies, I do not know where his doomerism came from. What I love in ML, besides other things, is that it gives hope to struggle while do not being blind to injustice and poverty.







  • it doesn’t work all the time

    Neither FOSS. There are excellent programs in open source, but many are in some ways much inferior when compared to the cummercial. First example from head: many printers and other devices have drivers only for window$

    doesn’t scale to large corporations

    i consider pirating software for private use

    the large corps control you

    They are spying using regular software too

    The whole point of this is to gain full control, meaning legally, of what we think should be free.

    Why should we bother by unjust capitalist law? Today I shared with my students pirated books which would cost shitton of money in Poland. This should be free for education. But the law forbids it so fuck the law




  • So far, I’ve read the first chapter “There’s no free market” of the Polish translation and it was good. Short and convincing, maybe there could be more arguments but it is fine for a popular book. It still may be too difficult for libs 😁 I will read it rather slowly, because I have time for this only when I go to sleep and not every day. So far, it looks promising. When I will read significantly more, I will let you know 👍🏻
