I think we need a "middle path" culture that finds a good balance between these pressures and values.

I'm curious if you think cooperative businesses leveraging non-voting preferred shares, community shares and other coop investment instruments are more resilient against this type of corruption.

I'm wonder how you see the tradeoffs these models have against traditional LLC/VC models and how you would mitigate them.

Their secret? A very rigorous contribution policy. Essentially, issues and PRs are autoclosed, and reviewed daily by the team. If its not slop, they whitelist either the issue/PR or the contributor (so their stuff isn't autoclosed next time).

GitHub needs an issue / PR approval flow.

A bimodal strategy gets you the best of both worlds: the ability to rapidly explore and develop ideas, and the ability to critically and cautiously assess them.

Diversity fuels evolution.

On the corporate scale, see the whole carbon / ESG / impact measure ent industry. Lifecycle Analysis, supply chain extrapolation, Bill of Materials analysis.

You only get some relatively crude estimate and a lot of missing data points, whereas economic growth can conveniently assign a dollar value on everything.

I think it only gets worse as you scale up.

UX wise, not really a revolution.

Please learn from Zen Browser.

Coming from a new-pragmatist orientation, this is a nice invitation to look more carefully at phenomological takes.

More please!

Here is a great list of tech coops: https://tech-coops.xyz/

Here is a new but somewhat active matrix channel where some tech coops folks hangout: https://matrix.to/#/#techcoop:autonomic.zone We plan to have an informal call to chat there on 22nd of February at 17:00-18:30 UTC.

Here is a Discourse forum for tech coops: https://community.coops.tech/

Note that a big problem with building a product tech coop is that you exactly can't as easily raise millions: investors by definition cannot take stake in a coop. Instead, you need a business loan, and its less common to find financiers willing to loan large rounds for high risk investment. That may be a cultural thing though, because in theory, sufficient interest could offset the risk in aggregate I guess.

I agree with comments arguing bad bookmark UX is part of the problem. Zen's approach is a vertical tab sidebar with workspaces and folders. Crucially, it distinguishes pinned and ephemeral tabs.

The approach is much more natural to me than either bookmarks and tradition tabs.

I've been using Proton for a couple of years now. The mail works well enough, and I'm happy with the calendar. Basic, but good.

I was excited when Proton Drive came out; but 3 years later, the experience is still very lacking. I'm not expecting feature parity with Google Drive, but the app is incredible slow and the UX is a confusing mess.

It's nice to see the ambition to roll out docs, wallet, a password manager, VPN and now AI. But encrypted cloud storage is essential for our privacy, and I wish you gave it the attention it deserves.

With gratitude,

A loyal customer

I think we need to shift towards a socionormative understanding of knowledge; as Rorty put it: "a fact is just something we can't be bothered to argue about". I agree with him that talking about truth isn't so useful for moving our culture forward.

We should be talking about how to negotiate the diverse vocabularies of discursive communities as they increasingly clash in our globalized culture. Dialectical exclusion is the cultural catastrophe of the day.
