The sad thing is that "open-source" has always been that: a libertarian "do what you want I'm not responsible" ecosystem. Libre software at least tried to make it so that you must make it a collective thing, but still with very little needed coordination. Not surprising seeing where those 2, and computing in general comes from (white rich cishet men who never had any real issues in their life)

What we need is to uproot this foundation. Start from a collective mindset, build from communities where we all listen and take care of each other. Taken to the extreme open licenses are useless: it is better to have a closed-source system that your community controls (ie the community has full control over what the thing does, but outsider don't necessarily) than an open-source system that everyone must understand on their own, leading to in practice control only by those who build it.

@deborahh @mayintoronto @fabio @evan yeah, the danger comes from the illusion that not everyone feels like this when going abroad. Everyone wants to remember where they come from, but not everyone can afford to.

@evan @mayintoronto @fabio

French perspective: "expat" is used for french people who live abroad, sometimes for years, but still feel more french than anything else. Foreign people who live in France might be called expat if they come from a rich country, but immigrant if coming from a poor country. So "expat" really is a marker of being part of the proper, rich, white countries, aka good old racism

I'm black but not american and not in the us

@dpfyhrie @artemis

Yeah, but that is not anger though. I think it's worth understanding anger and decoupling it from actions and words, understand which is which and where they come from, so we can stop wrong words/actions and not anger. The conflating is a very good way to repress anger

(Absolutely not saying it's easy)
