I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.
I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.
I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.
I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅
Hey, Libs,
Anarchism has a bad rap due to propaganda. The state hates anarchism. It's a viable threat to those in power because people can live, and live well, without kleptocrats ruining everything. You do anarchism every day without even knowing that's what you're doing.
When you get together with your friends and everyone gets up at the end of the evening and helps tidy your place before going home: that's anarchism.
When you volunteer to take care of a neighbor's pet because they had to go out of town: that's anarchism.
When the person in line in front of you at the grocery store is a few cents short on their bill and you pay it for them: that's anarchism.
When you shovel your neighbor's driveway because they can't do it themselves and it's snowing (or even just to do it for them for no reason whatsoever): that's anarchism.
Anarchism is people organizing themselves to do things without being told or forced by someone else to do them. That's it at its core.
It's not scary. it's not evil. A better world is possible and you can participate in it, you can bring it into being.
No gods, no masters, no hierarchy, no oppression.
Psst - #neuromorphic folks. Did you know that you can solve the SHD dataset with 90% accuracy using only 22 kB of parameter memory by quantising weights and delays? Check out our preprint with Pengfei Sun and Danyal Akarca:

Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
