Privacy@lemmy.world•Introducing Enkrypted Chat - An Ephemeral P2P WhatsApp CloneEnglish
5·20 days agoI’m a little confused by “open source isnt sustainable”. If you mean open source isn’t usually paid development so it is hard for you to live off any income from it I’d be inclined to agree. But there are still ways to turn a profit from open source development. I think red hat and even docker would serve as good examples. For red hat they provide open source code and sell a service while docker provides core open source components while has some features are closed source and paid.
As others have pointed out privacy without transparency (in the way of making the underlying code open source) isnt a guarantee of privacy its a weak promise at best. While I do think it is difficult to make open source as profitable as closed source, removing openness in its entirety isn’t a solution privacy focused people will accept.
As an example of a way to make money from this open source project: If you made the code open source and marketed towards companies where you could supply a secure communications network using a familiar interface and offered a license and support to them you’d still be able to make money without compromising the apps ability to create a meaningful network of privacy evangelists to vouch for you.
Unskilled labor isnt a real real thing. It was created to devalue blue collar workers. A construction worker is seen as unskilled but if you were to try and build a home next to a construction worker you’d realize how much skill they have at the matter.

Aviation@lemmy.world•Air France and Airbus found guilty of manslaughter over 2009 plane crashEnglish
6·24 days agoThe Wikipedia cites inconsistent airspeed data and miscommunication between the pilots but reading through the safety report from the crash that it cites for this it seems like it was mostly the pilots miscommunications and over corrections that caused issues. The auto pilot and auto thrust kicked off and the pilots scrambled to figure out what was up and did a few miss inputs there and then the plane started warning of a stall and they didnt properly address the stall conditions


Pink Williams is actually one of those people for those who dont know. His style is very anti capitalist country music. “The Devil is Real” is all about how the real devil is the capitalists who take advantage of the common folk. And “Thank God For Gay Cowboys” is as the title suggests about gay cowboys and rednecks.
