RMS was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not RMS or FSF. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.
But all this work was ridiculed. Microsoft, through Github, Google and Apple pushed for MIT/BSD licensed software as the open source standard. This allowed them to use open source components within their proprietary closed products.

Amidst the pandemic, I embraced communism... the communism that the late anthropologist David Graeber proposes is the basis for human social life in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years.
He calls it “baseline communism,” defining it as:
“[The] understanding that, unless people consider themselves enemies, if the need is considered great enough, or the cost considered reasonable enough, the principle of ‘from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs’ will be assumed to apply.”
If I had to explain why, I’d start by pointing out that if you’re a parent visiting your kid in college, you probably feel immense pride at seeing your kid thriving in an unfamiliar environment. There are many reasons for this, but suffice it to say that the pride you feel doubles as validation; as knowledge that your 50+ years on this earth have produced a human being who is capable not only of providing for themselves, but of providing value to others.
Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], Have you ever noticed how some people seem to get all of the press and attention even when other people have built something similar? It can be...
If you work in a 500-person company, even if you’re junior, you can gain attention by writing. You just need experience and ideas to write about, but you don't need authority or influence. Let your ideas speak for themselves.
Write about what you’re learning or strategies your team can pursue, and share it. People can comment on what’s interesting, or even disagree, but either way, you’ll increase your attention and influence.
Writing automatically elevates you from the sea of other people doing the same thing.

The first step in learning a song is to listen to a recording until you can hum the basic melody and feel the rhythm.
Our major scale looks like this: I–ii–iii–IV–V–vi–vii dim. Using this pattern, in the key of G, for example, the chords are: G major–A minor–B minor–C major–D major–E minor–F# diminished.
After you have those chord shapes under your fingers and the sound of the chords in your ears, play each chord starting from the home chord of the key, the I chord. Play I–ii, I–iii, I–IV, I–V, I–vi, I–viidim (C–Dm, C–Em, C–F, C–G, C–Am, C–Bdim). You are now playing the intervals, or distances, from the I chord to the other notes of the scale. Listen closely as you play these chord intervals and record them in your iHead player—these intervals are the building blocks of the songs you want to learn.
