Would be so cool to have something like this for Nix (with appropriate accommodations for packages and NixOS modules, and some Flake search too).
(Actually, bhoogle is stuttering a lot with some queries - looks like the TUI rendering and search happen in a single thread. Not cool.)
Wait, is #haskell still on Freenode? I thought they migrated to libera.chat during the Freenode collapse
Nah, this is just regular capitalism. Late-stage capitalism would be just "be exploited or starve", no third alternative.
Hard to say with a .world
POTUS? Nobody. No single person should hold a position with such power.
It's not too bad tho, we've already replaced this with Github actions: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/356023
I don't think it's a solution for this, it would just mean maintaining many distro-agnostic repos. Forks and alternatives always thrive in the FOSS world.
I've never done something on the scale I'm describing, so this is mostly just speculation, but I hope it could be useful.
First of all, find the people who do care. Talk with them. Make a local antifascist group in a secure messenger (Matrix/XMPP, or at the very least Signal), or join an existing org that you disagree with the least (don't be afraid of the word "socialist" if you stumble upon them). Do not discuss anything illegal, as it could spell trouble for everyone - you live in an (increasingly) authoritarian country with a wide range of tools to repress you. Keeping it legal at least makes it less likely.
Now that you have a support network, you can start reaching out. Until/unless your organization gains serious traction, unite over common goals instead of squabbling over your differences. DO NOT guilt anyone for being financially well off, voting for the wrong candidate, believing in stupid things, etc. Find people who are somewhat unhappy or unsure about concentration camps. Try convincing them that concentration camps are bad - it probably would be easier if they are on the fence already or if they are being unjustly treated themselves. Show compassion. Do not be condescending or use the words that may trigger them (Nazism, etc), instead appeal to humanity and empathy to specific people who are being repressed. Bring some examples of unjust repression with you. Do not overdo it - you don't (yet) have to agree on anything except that these concentration camps are bad. Propose to do something together - it can be small at first, like calling your representative or organizing a picket - common action builds connections and mutual understanding.
Actually, I don't remember if I ever thanked you for your work; We don't always agree on everything but your positions are thought-provoking, your delivery respectful, and your patience seemingly infinite. I wish there were more people like you on the left.
Ending the program entirely signals a drastic change in strategy, perhaps to hard power.
That's... rather unnerving, but expected given the mask-off nazism now on display. I can only hope that this backfires quickly and not too many lives are lost in the process.
Also I will still mourn the loss of whatever funding USAID was providing, as now many of those facilities will inevitably close down. Life is rough in those places already, can't imagine the horror of learning that you no longer have a hospital because a rich fuck on the other side of the world wanted to see his number go up.
I feel like this is the case regardless of the system? You can't just install a "Good" leader once and expect them to provide everyone with equal rights forever. You can't even build a "Good" system once and expect it to provide you with rights by itself. It would still require well-meaning, educated, active, and organized constituents to continuously stand up for what is right, prevent corruption and abuses of power, etc.
There are no physically inalienable rights. They are ultimately just ideas and not laws of nature, and thus require enforcement by some human persons, and any such person is subject to corruption by power.
There are no infallible systems. Social systems are but humanly devised constraints, and humans can and will overstep those constraints. It takes other humans to reinforce the system and maintain the constraints.
That said, the system of capitalism is obviously a shitty one for everyone but the top 0.1% (and this percentage decreases with time), we as a species should do better. Socialism isn't perfect either, but at least it empowers much more people to be active participants rather than slaves.
To reiterate, it is simply not possible to "build a system in which no one has the power to take away to begin with". Socialism would still be subject to corruption (as evidenced by countries that instituted it) and require constant "upkeep" by the citizens. However, socialism tends to produce citizens more well-equipped to protect their rights.
