So many bright people I know are either out of work or are dissatisfied with their current employment. Wish there was some way I could figure out how to weave all of this talent into something where everyone could be happy and fulfilled. There has to be a way; some sort of cosmic pattern we can use to make things into a quilt of awesome or something.
@alpacaherder Sadly I can't justify making it to OLF this year. :-l
@alpacaherder I'm scared to even apply for 18F because of the recklessness of this administration.
@alpacaherder hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@craigmaloney If we had universal basic income I am sure a lot of us could work together toward some really impressive stuff
@zigg Don't get me started on this. Told my dad about Universal Basic Income and single-payer healthcare being our salvation. Not sure he bought it.
@craigmaloney There's a generation that probably will never get it tbh
@craigmaloney If we were magical ponies, we'd have a full-color trans stamp with an icon of our exact talent and we wouldn't have to waste all this time and effort.
@USBhump I'm more of the mindset at putting these resources we have into making life better for all of us rather than for a handful of people who just happen to have gotten the money first.
@craigmaloney @clacke I think one possible answer is worker owned co-operatives.
@clacke @craigmaloney I started reading Wingolog in 2003 or so, back when Advogato used to be a thing...
@clacke @craigmaloney I've forgotten that Slashdot is still a thing! 😳
@clacke @craigmaloney How so? :-)
@craigmaloney @clacke I too was a fan. Used to save Slashdot pages for later reading back when I was on dialup!
I've seen Unknown Lamer lamenting the state of Slashdot in IRC. I guess this is yet another case of an ineptly run corporation coming along and ruining things for everyone.
@clacke @craigmaloney The c2 wiki always confused me. I never figured out how to actually use the wisdom shared therein in m day-to-day programming labor.
@clacke @craigmaloney Well, not being able to make use of c2 wiki is entirely my own fault. I know I'm missing *something* whenever I visit c2 wiki: self-discipline, perhaps.
@clacke @craigmaloney I just found the redesigned c2 wiki at http://c2.fed.wiki.org/. This way of navigation makes things a lot better for me.
Me too. I like the concept of fedwiki (federation of wiki content), but I still don't like the UI. The main reason I haven't set up a node is that I don't want to host something I barely understand (Node.js) on the public Internet.
