55 sats \ 1 reply \ @Kontext 26 Jun \ parent \ on: Open source product is a marketing tool devs
I'm not doing open source for profit. I'm doing open source because I believe in the ethos (and I think that copyright laws are a stupid, out-of-date idea), but I do it as a part of my for-profit venture with the belief that the open source part will bring more attention and customers to the for-profit side of things.
Open source is the marketing tool for the business.
The business is the funding tool for open source.
The goal of both is to create or add value.
In theory, they should start reinforcing each other in time.
This is my line of thought as well. This is why the non-profit, charitable initiative Open Source Culture (#883698) is a part of the for-profit venture SATOSH.EE (#784376).
It's too early to say whether this will be a successful synergy, but I do think that:
- Open source initiatives can't rely on donations alone
- For-profit initiatives need better (and more ethical) ways to market themselves compared to traditional advertising

Anger. Apathy. Fear. They must all be overcome in order to reach acceptance. Acceptance is also sympathy, which is also harmony. Jiddu Krishnamurti said “harmony is stillness.” Which is true, but it’s also untrue, because while it is stillness, it’s relative stillness. Relative to everything else around you, you’re still. But that’s only because you’re in tune with everything and as a collective whole, you’re resonating, vibrating.
For there to be harmony there has to be a movement, a frequency.
I normally eat 1, max 2 (big) meals per day. Love it, makes me appreciate food so much more, less brain fog, more energy (I always feel like I get too lazy/complacent after a meal)
I don't plan fasts. Sometimes my body decides it doesn't need much food for a day or two.
Same! I've done up to 72 hours and never planned them (usually I would still have coffee w/ butter and/or MCT oil and sometimes a few pieces of dark chocolate). Can totally relate to the "lightly psychedelic" experiences as well... although I feel fasting can only be an enhancer to that. I think you have to be in a certain mindset beforehand to get into that state.
The first meal after a 24h+ fast is always such a magical moment.

“The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say “yes” to suffering before you can transcend it.”
