Are you under the impression that Trump gives a fuck about Europe? The headaches are only going to be an issue if they’re bigger than his domestic headaches with maintaining power. Contracts with Europe are only interesting for people with power to negotiate or cancel them. 😄
I’m curious how the pre-existing big players in the MIC would react to this. Perhaps just buy it. Low cost is fine, low price is not.
Really feels like it. Look at the paragraphs and the list here.
Omacom Foundation launches with $18.5 million
It’s time to dream big. Omarchy Quattro has given people a chance to experience what the malleable computer of the future looks like, and they like it (a lot!). It now feels like a moral obligation to make this future more broadly available and fundamentally change how people relate to their computers for the first time in what seems like forever.
To do just that, I’m incorporating the Omacom Foundation to ensure that this mission is fully funded, durable, and ready to accelerate.
This nonprofit foundation will hold the trademarks, fund the infrastructure, promote the work, and support the open-source projects and developers Omarchy depends on.
These twelve Founding Patrons are each contributing $1 million to this mission:
- Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
- Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
- Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
- Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
- Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
- Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
- Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals
- Drew Houston, cofounder and co-CEO of Dropbox
- Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw
- Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase
- Yunjie Dai, cofounder of TapTap
- Yours truly
These Founding Corporate Patrons are each contributing $1 million a year for three years or $1.5 million in tokens, with renewal by mutual agreement:
- DigitalOcean
- Meta Superintelligence Labs
The bigger the size of the import, the larger the impact, the more diffcult to tarriff or block.
Yeah, this is quite the opposite to cynical. Progressives cannot deliver material good for people unless they gain and maintain power.
This guy is such a pro political operator… In one action of exposing this lie he increases the trust in his gov, his own trustworthiness and he puts a lot of fuel in the Medicare-for-All fight which his comrades are fighting in his state and around the country.
A China-linked islamoleftist trans terrorist based in California used his open source CCP-made AI agent to take down the all-American freedom AI. Time to ban open source AI as it’s communist terrorism.
That’ll be expensive so I don’t think it’ll be happening. They’ll be OK with collecting data from the 95% of their customers who don’t know how to block the TV from having internet access.
Thanks for the explanation. That’s informative and unfortunate.
E: BTW I’m not unaware of the ability of for-profits to sift people away from existing corporate platforms into new corporate or corporate-adjacent platforms, for example. E.g. Twitter -> Bluesky. I think that would be insufficient in the long run to halt the fediverse growth because every time this cycle occurs, some people fall off into the fediverse and that’s usually the more aware people. They tend to create more content.
Certainly. Don’t know how large and when, but a significant (relative to our size) bunch of people would likely show up. That plus people who dabble in both would increase their activity here. The threadiverse is more or less guaranteed to grow and form a solid contrubutor base. We don’t seek to increase profits YoY so our services are only going to get better over time. For-profit socials have to grow profits over time, so they are going to get worse. Increase in service quality for for-profit platforms is a temporary stage of their development. The threadiverse will be around in 5-10 years time, in some shape or form and it’ll be larger and better than it is today. This is why I keep pushing the vote buttons and type words every day. Deliberately spending more time than I’d like. 😄
has me the most worried about the whole thing is the drop in any kind of thinking skills among the general population.
Sounds like the general population would need to use more AI.
There’s exceptions for sure. I should have said it’s a tendency.
Exactly right. Dare I say the very right for working people to vote was won by organized labour, so even popular democracy is downstream from labour power. That’s the only real power we have against corporations.
Corporations do not stand up to the government. Remember this. Drop any expectation that the coporate world would save you from a bad government.
Next time aim higher. In the org chart.
Good to know. I will make sure not to update as mine isn’t doing it yet.
they could build world class research labs that would put the old bell labs to shame
Knowing Bell Labs’ contributions… this is fucking radicalizing.
A shit show that’s not to miss!
