You have no idea how much this helps me.

There are a lot of them active all over the world.

CNT is a great example https://www.cnt.es

Vertical unions are hierarchal. They have administrative staff that are not necessarily workers and they reproduce the characteristics of our electoral system in a smaller scale. This includes corrupt elected officials who have back deals with companies, etc.

The horizontal unions are non hierarchical. They are based on the practice of anarcho syndicalism. The union is just a collection of smaller unions, each has autonomy to make their own decisions. The delegates can be recalled at any time. All staff are workers and decisions are collectively being made.

For horizontal unions, the person you are responding to is correct. You and your colleagues are the ones that decide how it is going to run.

For vertical unions, you are correct. A few influential members have all the power.

You are both correct but just not talking about the same thing.

They are different businesses.

JLR has enough money and will be fine. That's not the issue. The unions are talking about the small businesses down the chain.

Would you explain further?

Otherwise you will be forced to reject him because there might be a possibility that the problem was him.

Seems like you are hiring the best liars. Or at least the best at playing an arbitrary game of saying and not saying the correct things that won't trigger a rejection.

At this point, are you even needed? Maybe we could replace the interview process with a lottery system. Same result, less expensive.

I agree with him that software engineers should be making the decisions in Mozilla.

So, it could be that central planning is good for some use cases and bad for others. Likewise, with liberalised economies.

There may even be some overlap between the two.

I think the subject at hand is different from what you are writing.

What you are saying doesn't apply to the debate between permissive licenses and copy left licenses.

Inside us, there are different drives that shape our behaviour.

I have some tips that might help you develop a better relationship with Free Software.

Try to be egotistical about it. Contribute because you want a change in a software you use. If the maintainers are giving you a hard time, fork it with your changes and be happy.

Stop donating to software foundations, you will be disappointed on how they use your money.

Never sign away your rights with a contributor agreement. Fork it and move on.

Use copyleft whenever possible.

Maybe we have another very strong instinct and survival is just the observed side effect but not the operating driving force. Indeed, animals take mortal risks constantly.

It could also be that they we a variety of instincts in fight for domination and survival is just one of them but not the strongest one.

As much as I disagree with Ayn Rand on a lot of things, she did make an important observation.

Parasites will be attracted to high value things in order to extract value, not to add to it. They climb the hierarchy of the organisation and then use it for their own benefit.

It is not only developers who do resume building oriented work. These people start social causes so that they can claim that they spearheaded this or that campaign. In order to gain prestige.

Engineers who only care about the product become the bottom of the hierarchy and the organisation becomes a reflection of the needs and wants of these parasites.

Also, the amount of space taken is unacceptable. Several times I had my HD filled with guix garbage.

"Thanks F3nd0! There are currently no plans to switch to a less permissive license.

And we're perfectly happy using proprietary services like GitHub and Discord as long as they make our work easier and more enjoyable. We recently evaluated a number of alternatives, and found that they all introduced more friction than we were comfortable with.

Although the task of building a browser is itself challenging, we're a pragmatic project :)"

Makes sense, he is older and has two daughters.

I even considered leaving the field myself.

My point is Emacs+evil-mode is close to indistinguishable from Vim. I know this because I come from Vim.

I think @reddit_clone hit the nail on the head. It is just an irrational adverse reaction to hearing the word Emacs.
