  • I think I would have sought out anarchist communes and tailored my tool to their needs. If done well, I could have my needs met, lived comfortably and created tools that directly impacted my peers. I’d also be able to help out my commune in many other meaningful ways as well. The days would be filled with meaning instead of as a servent of the machine.



  • Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.

    When we talk about free software, we point to transparency, studyability, tinkerability and sharability. The openness to allow ourselves to use our tools with freedom.

    However, I do not think we should use the term open source. The reason for my distancing of the word source is because the word makes us think about development instead of the end user. Because if we want these kinds of software to appeal to the masses, we the word to emphasize that it is meant for them. Instead, I would use the term open software, open tool or open machine.
