This whole "OpenClaw" thing has made me very angry and I wrote a bit about the why.

[rakoo@blah.rako.space]

The sad thing is that "open-source" has always been that: a libertarian "do what you want I'm not responsible" ecosystem. Libre software at least tried to make it so that you must make it a collective thing, but still with very little needed coordination. Not surprising seeing where those 2, and computing in general comes from (white rich cishet men who never had any real issues in their life)

What we need is to uproot this foundation. Start from a collective mindset, build from communities where we all listen and take care of each other. Taken to the extreme open licenses are useless: it is better to have a closed-source system that your community controls (ie the community has full control over what the thing does, but outsider don't necessarily) than an open-source system that everyone must understand on their own, leading to in practice control only by those who build it.

@tante very well said. His thirst for nazi-bar fame is apparent.

You didn’t even touch on the uselessness of the project: none of these incel-adjacent techbros need a (digital or not) assistant in their lives; they just want to feel important. Message “something” in their WhatsApp/telegram (not irc, jabber or matrix) instead of just opening their calendar app

@tante "handing out running chainsaws to kids" that's exactly their way of responsibility.

@tante

fyi - typo/german in “on the other faschist social network”. should be “fascist”

@larsmb from what I see mostly the * with the tiny "you have to check everything" note in tiny font hidden somewhere in invisible ink is considered enough even by law. Which is a mistake.

@demiguise thanks fixed

@tante the very manifestation of the book the writer cannot promote for legal reasons called “Careless people”- https://mastodon.social/users/dahukanna/statuses/115909518246104074

@tante i am never sure if i actually like notifying authors about errors.

because these tiny little human errors assure that the author concentrated on getting a message out, not "a text".

it's what makes them the "true" blog posts.

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@peterfr I appreciate it!

[yatil@yatil.social]

@tante FYI, the podcaster you want to mention is “Lex Fridman”, not “Lex Friedman”, aka @lexfri, who is certainly not right-wing

Here’s a song about it, too: https://lexfriedman.com/friedman

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@agowa338 @tante fast fashion usually succeeds in covering your arse, though

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@yatil @lexfri I fixed the name, thanks for the hint.

My characterization of his Oeuvre will stay though. He gives so much space to right wing talking points that he's indistinguishable from a right wing spokesperson.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@davidgerard @agowa338 not for very long though

[yatil@yatil.social]

@tante @lexfri Oh, Fr_i_dman’s characterization is spot on. Fuck that guy

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@yatil @lexfri I misread your comment, sorry
Glad we can agree that Fridman can fuck himself.

@tante «“having some code and an open license” is not a sufficient set of requirements for building a sustainable, resilient digital landscape for everyone.» yeah, I've been thinking about that recently too for a conference submission (in case it's of interest): https://tzovar.as/open-science-beyond-licenses/

@tante @joe @madcoder Carl Brown (https://www.internetofbugs.com/) recently posted a short video on this which is worth your time:

@tante as a maintainer and someone doing a lot around this topic (foss as digital infra) I have complex feelings about the rhetoric you use here.

I agree wholly on the AI guys. And also I am really really wary of what that exact discourse will do to our digital infra. Because I don't see how it can end other than pain. I want it to end positively but... I can't see it happening
