  1. Satisfying needs and demands directly is different than indirectly by substituting profit making systems which subordinates satisfying actual needs and demands. Capitalism substitutes profit making as proxy for satisfying needs and demands. Cant this systems be gamed? Can't capitalist go astray?
    Just saying.

  5. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    Understanding human needs is half the job of meeting them.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1952-10-03), “Social Gains and the Public Welfare,” Franklin Co. Memorial Auditorium, Columbus, Ohio

    > FOSS has a very unfortunate weak spot in its foundation, that being the idea that “free” implies “without ownership” rather than “equitably shareable”

    💯! Just dropped a #meme depicting how #SX considers #FOSS: social.coop/@smallcircles/1164

    #Equity is the word. I wrote a blog on #SharedOwnership earlier: coding.social/blog/shared-owne

    Note, that "libertarianism" is emergent, comes with scale. I avoid the term for its political heat it often introduces, and how that stifles #solution-orientation.

    > I make product actually meet the users’ needs, cuz damn, you didn’t!

    It's funny how actual #Needs are often totally unknown, esp. in FOSS. The #technology then quickly exists mostly for the sake of itself. Damn the externalities.

    Social coding commons defines FOSS as the pure software artifact. Code + an open license. Period. All the rest is #SocialCoding where all #expectations we have are either implied and unjustified, or warranted with mutual understanding. The latter is hardly done.

  18. A quotation from Mark Twain

    [S]he brought some of those apples. I was obliged to eat them, I was so hungry. It was against my principles, but I find that principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Story (1893), “Extracts from Adam’s Diary,” The Niagara Book

  19. PRODUCTHEAD: Reflections on the art and science of product management

    » With appropriate context, those closest to the problem should make the product decisions

    » Be outcome-focused and evidence-based regardless of what kind of product or service you work on

    » Be careful not to automatically balance out a conflicting behaviour in others (such as a founder’s bias)

    » “The obstacle is the way” – every setback is an opportunity to improve our condition

  22. Only a small part of what people believe they need can be attributed to the objective #needs. The rest stems from their desires, which have no natural limits.
    If we do not consciously and #critically question them, they continue to grow with every satisfaction. #Contentment is the result of this questioning.

    Sadly, we have banished this attitude to life because it stood in the way of capitalism. The constant pursuit of more possessions and entertainment does not make us happy – on the contrary.

  23. CW: People switched to wages 🧶

    The authors note, ‘the desire for a new variety of goods led to gradual changes in the behaviour of ordinary households in Western Europe’. Gradually, in order to afford the now accessible luxury of sugar, the subsistence economy was abandoned in favour of wage labour. People accepted working longer and harder to acquire these goods, which, according to accounts from the late 18th century, had become essential needs.

    But How were the products made?

  24. A quotation from The Bible

    Father:
    May your holy name be honored;
       may your Kingdom come.
       Give us day by day the food we need.
    Forgive us our sins,
       for we forgive everyone who does us wrong.
       And do not bring us to hard testing.

    καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν,
    καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίομεν παντὶ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν·
    καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν.]

    Our Father who art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come.
    Thy will be done

  28. Thank you to the MANY people that donated to help me get new glasses. :blobhaj_hearttrans:

    Also, thank you to those that suggested sites to help me find an affordable, quality pair.

    I was able to get not one but TWO pairs of glasses due to the BOGO+ 20% off lenses on FIRMOO. Total was $111 USD for the glasses, the appointment was roughly $40 USD.

    Next is to try and go to the dentist!
