I think for me some major factors are the personal agency you have over the work (independent from employers/investors) and the potential for longevity that comes with having your work be part of the commons (projects can't be acquired and killed).

That kind of unalienated relationship to your creative output is very rare outside of maybe fine arts or entertainment.

It's not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the simple truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike and take transit, the better cities work for EVERYONE.

I mean you cannot tell me it's not a superior experience.

An example of the inertia within the global energy system and how much clean energy (electricity, H2, etc) has to be adopted to make a dent in global primary energy consumption.

If you have a parrot and you don’t teach it to say, “help I’ve been turned into a parrot” you’re wasting everyone’s time.

Yeah I’ll be even more extreme and say if you’re subscribing to Ivory and /not/ paying your instance admins at least as much, you need to fix that right fucking now.

I always took my phone as a (video) camera with some extra stuff, and was fine in the most proprietary ecosystem there is, but seeing @cassidy 's videos makes me want to revisit the unthinkable.

Wow: As the UK pound continues to fall, increasingly cash-strapped Britons are giving up Starbucks and resorting to "tee," a type of flavored water historically popular in their culture.
