or self host a federated forge like tangled.org where you get all the discoverability and social features with no centralized control. anti social isolated sites should die together with big tech.

instead we should force these platforms to open source their algorithm and give users choice with a following only feed. or make bluesky/at protocol style federation mandatory to prevent vendor lock in. you decide.

they put a lot of subtle hooks in the ending montage. i just hope they dont try to force it and make a direct sequel with ryan as the lead.

of course if you want a permanent solution to ai stealing peoples work thats getting rid of capitalism and ip laws with it but thats a million times harder and probably wont happen in our lifetimes.

> I found a much easier answer for my own project, which has been to never accept anonymous contributions and to not merge a single line of code until the contributor sends an email promising to assign me copyright

i understand the anonymous contributions part even if i dont agree but how does assigning copyright make it easier to fight toxic people? the only reason you would ever do this instead of a cla is when you want the option to release the code as closed source. you cant revoke a open source license anyway

structure and hierarchy are two very different things. you can have elected leaders who manage the day to day problems and a popular vote on all the important issues. of course its hard to implement in practice but it is possible. the reasons our society is elitist are economic inequality and different social connections but they only have real power when the people cant decide directly. if there was a federal ballot prop system america would look very different

if you want to look at the real waste of power just open up some electron app. no good reason why we still use it for new apps in 2026 when gpui and avalonia and tauri are all options

contracts are not real types enforced by the compiler/runtime. that means you need to keep them in sync manually and you dont get performance benefits from typed vm instructions. you also lose a big safety net that makes sure you always call a function that can handle the values you pass in. the whole industry has been moving towards ml style strong types for the last 10 years and its for a good reason
