Oddbean new post about login | logout Honest question - why is this good? Why would donations to open source avoid the problems that donations in any other context deal with?
donations are not the answer, we need proper investment platforms like geyser or angor in to the ecosystem.
What's the business model though? I'm not convinced there's a sustainable model for FOSS. I think the better approach might be to let everyone get rich trading in the ecosystem and build the systems you want without needing to turn a profit off the code. Solves the conflict of interest and makes the market more positive sum.
"let everyone get rich trading" you do realise the contradiction in this sentence? trading doesn't create value it's just money moving hands, when you sell someone buys from you. I agree it's harder to find business models in FOSS, but not impossible.
exactly. the solution is Internet Bank on X #Twitter #Bitcoin . Twitter worldwide “Wall Street”
Bank on X? that just replaces one centralised service with another.
Bank on X = decentralized nostr:nevent1qqs9eqygcrgsdjpdnjtra99xnxf7y8s084mu6qh2j0txdwcn0vz2tuqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsqmrz4da8ctqzs3gzhacjqqz4k8thcnt3v8m7usqv2unfvw00af4crqsqqqqqpeq9k3c
X worldwide “Wall Street”
Give Elno control of all the things? Hello no.
of course not quite the opposite. decentralize X make it a public good. a universal institution
He owns it, a system with an owner isn’t free and open. Even if the code is open source, who makes the call on what updates happen. It’s not a universal good, it’s a crap website. Bit like MySpace but with no HTML sparkles. Out of curiosity, why are you so into X?
