For some reason here is, in my opinion, the smallest legible version of the "no step on snek" flag, 7x5 pixels

Ever wondered what a cube of core memory looks like?

400 registers. Each register 48 x 48.

921,600 cores. 😮

It's almost as if ownership matters 🤔

Community co-operative ownership of the means of communication is the way forward or these enclosures of the software commons will keep happening over and over and over.

Individuals cannot be trusted in the long run, capital can not trusted, the desire for constant growth cannot be trusted, even NGOs cannot be trusted if they don't have democratic control by their community.

How many times do we have to see examples of this in the wild before some tech folks will acknowledge this problem.

Libre software is part of a global commons. The organisations administering it should be too.

I've been looking up new words and their roots, I wanted to find the root for volapukajxo, meaning "nonsense" or "gibberish" and I couldn't find it, All I found was "Volapük" so I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Turns out it was another conlang from the same era.

..harsh.

It would be like if Linux had an error message saying "Kernel BSDed".
