which is to say only gamblers are ever willing to hire me

very nice, this is how I can now quickly say it and clearly think it:

I've only ever worked for gamblers!

the 'cool' thing

is that not even the purported 'business owner' owns their own data, what do they actually own? what is even their business?

on the modern trend, all businesses really are: is just a collection of subscriptions to service providers like MS.... where's the actual business???

I just hope that the notion and traditional cultural practice of "this idea is mine, therefore it cannot be yours" dies soon

once it does we can have a new digital renaissance

but if people see the phrase "original copy" and don't see an oxymoron, i have no hope

counter example: what is this website called?

you're telling me Hacker News is a who?

they did that because they had the petro dollar system

this is the same system that allowed most americans to not pay taxes and also downsized the IRS

they thought they were going to be able to keep this system around indefinitely, but nope. I'm basing it all on guesswork, but I think that system ended this summer. the USA fed and gov is going to be at war by the next summer (debt ceiling expiry), or they're gonna get their cred destroyed even further.

my much less informed take on this topic:

I considered "why?", "what?", and "how to?" by thinking the types of answers:

'what' expects an answer of a name, or reference.

'how' expects an answer of a recipe, like an algorithm possibly

'why' is more complicated, it involves intention. to keep it simple (and short), it's a mix of both of the above, but I provide no references nor bibliography; and quite honestly, I didn't even read through that whole 14-17 minute long article. at a glance, I am saying something roughly similar, but without knowing about all those academic erudites, and without invoking such arcane terminology as "teleological"

this actually may help me clear out a subtle distinction:

the documentation has the same socialpolitical problem as any other artistic expression encoded into a digital asset

but the code has a subtly different socialpolitical problem that goes a little bit further than the one of 'mere' digital assets.

I don't expect to be understood, I just wrote this to think to myself... albeit in public.

so long as we can read the source code AND debug the program, it's ok.

it may be difficult, but sometimes things are difficult

free and open source but private and paid for documentation???
