That's really interesting. Could you give some examples?

The amount of bureaucracy a typical adult deals with is astonishing. I remember hearing once that it may be economical for some families to group together and appoint one person responsible for dealing with bureaucracy + 'professional' consumerism a la Costco deals and such.

How ironic that all that individualism will lead to a communal living arrangements again - at least for those wanting to create families.

Intentionally shifting the meaning of the term opensource is unacceptable. Open source means surrendering your monopoly over commercial exploitation of your code.

Could you expand on the ROM game commands bit? Does it mean that all actions are serialized?

Hmmm, it seems I repeatedly have this discussion with others re: ORMs are inferior. If there is one point I initially wanted the article to make is to use relational databases first, and ORMs second. (i.e: as opposed to NoSQL solutions.) Perhaps I should edit the intro to the article to reflect that.

This is a different author at Monadical. The author of this article still uses Linux. (Source: I work at said company.)

How can I DM you?

B2B apps developed in the west are unlikely to be useful for developing markets given the disparate priorities and market structure between developing and developed economies.

However, for B2C products (e. g: Figma, PhotoPea) you could charge a much lower price based on billing address, similar to how for example Spotify costs much less in the Philippines than in the UK.

Would you be kind enough to post more information about this?

It's sad and upsetting, but when will people learn that Facebook, Google et al do not care at all about individual users? Their model simply does not factor in the worries of a single user.

(Worse is how they want to propagate the idea that software should be free and of highest quality, thus preventing any communal attempts at creating different models.)

I advice everyone who has an account to at least download their data to keep a copy of it: https://www.facebook.com/help/1701730696756992

David Spivak and other folks at Azimuth Forum[0] have been great at providing high quality discussions on ideas in this course and others. Many thanks.

Seconding this as employee of said company : )

The program was suspended in the latest immigration reforms: https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settl...

That's great to hear. I have had the same impulse when I joined the previous organization I worked for - documenting how things are done not just by me, but by as many parts of the organization as possible. Managers were impressed by the idea but no one would like to do it themselves, you had to interview them one by one haha.

Software, sorry if it wasn't clear.

Sounds wonderful, will wait for your email.

It seems that Quebec is now a place you can hire from, so I guess I have to start by applying for a job at Gitlab then. :)

It's wonderful you have this initiative - Gitlab seems to lead by example in many progressive practices.

Hello, I'm happy to edit this for free or lunch in Eastern Canada - email in profile.

That's very interesting, thank you for replying. Do you work in media/video or such? 200 TB is a lot! Also unraid is interesting, for 30 storage devices it costs a one time fee of 120 dollars, is that correct?

Would you mind elaborating on your Storinator setup?

You can combine it with your own Nextcloud instance or install Cryptomater and use Dropbox et al.

Would you be kind enough to point to resources where one could learn more about this?

How did they do so?

Matomo/Piwik[0] hosted? They have enterprise support too, I think.
