I like being a realistic optimist: shit happens, not on me, but let us try to fix it anyway!
my hopes with tech lie squarely on opensource and federation
If your tech comes at the end of a service agreement and requires a credit card it isnt your tech.
Open source tech is the only tech that one can be optimistic about
How I learned to stop worrying and love the atomic bomb
I think technology is absolutely vital when it comes to pulling us out of this tailspin we’re in.
Billionaire tech CEOs, however, are not the ones who are going to do it. I look to the legitimate startups trying to solve the world’s problems.
startups are just wannabe billionaire playboys.
they basically exist for the sole purporse of growing then getting bought out. or, the overlords will seed capital into it until they are profitable.
another side of the same coin.
I’ve worked at several startups personally. Some are the way you say, no doubt. Some legitimately are trying to build something to help people. I’ve had corporate sponsored ones, investor backed, self funded, and incubator funded. There’s no “They all run this way”. Which is why I specified “legitimate” startup. One that’s there for the product, not just the money.
this is the definition of a startup. its purpose is getting bought out.
even if they started their life ethically, no company is bought out not to make money.
Dude I don’t even know with you. Yeah, some startups start and want to get bought out, not all of them do. Again I’ve worked at a lot, probably 8-10 now. I’ve seen some startups be bought out and others who wanted to do their own thing. Stop generalizing everything, there is nuance in the world, grey, stop seeing everything black and white.
What do you want me to do? Lie about the companies I’ve literally worked for just to agree with you? No, I won’t lie just so you’re binary thoughts about the world feel justified.
im literally telling you the definition of what it is.
if some of them turn to doing other shit because they werent bought out, it doesnt change what it is.
ive worked on some of them too if thats what matters?
