Didn’t they make an exception for open-source projects? https://opensource.org/blog/the-european-regulators-listened...

“Anyone opensourcing anything while in the course of ‘commercial activity’ will be fully liable. Effectively they rugpulled the Apache2 / MIT licenses... all opensource released by small businesses is fucked. where the was no red tape now there is infinite liability”

This is my current understanding, from a friend not a lawyer. Would appreciate any insight from folks here.

So you’re willfully spreading FUD in hopes someone will enlighten you?

The law is real. What emotions would you suggest are appropriate?

Open Source is exempt, provided you don’t make a profit: https://kevinboone.me/open_source_liability.html

So it applies to anyone who figures out how to monetize open-source contributions. Seems like a major issue to me. Not exactly something that makes Europe a good place for tech.

The US has the reputation that rich competitors will abuse the judicial system to sue you into bankruptcy. Still, a lot of people want to start their tech startup there.

Yeah, just the usual hn FUD about the EU.

Can you reconcile that with this sibling comment?

I don’t have an opinion, just trying to make sense of contradictory claims.

Out of curiosity-what brought you to this perspective on life? This view of the universe dreaming itself into existence, was it shaped more by philosophy, spirituality, a specific tradition like Buddhism, or just personal exploration?

For the past I guess 20 years of my life now, I've been intently using most of my free time to explore 3 main areas distinctly: quantum mechanical processes, spiritual philosophy, entheogens. I explored them all quite separately as deeply as I've been able to find the time for through following their individual curiosities, however over the past 5 years of reflection, taking a lot of time off, battling myself, they started to come together in concert, and the more I zoned out on this with very basic Himalaya Buddhism, it's where I landed.

Do you have any brief reflections on Taosim to share?

brief, sadly not, round about reflection, certainly: https://b.h4x.zip/love/

I really enjoyed that piece. Have you taken a look at the worldview/framework of Carl Jung? Although I'd always encountered it as a footnote in the history of psychology, I've come to appreciate it as a unique blend of analysis and spirituality, particularly in relation to human creativity and despair. Your summary of multiple philosophies at the end of the article definitely aligns with Jung's thoughts on a collective human narrative (whether it literally exists in a metaphysical sense or not).

I like Jung, but I am a disciple of Connie Zweig. I'd strongly recommend her books Meeting the Shadow followed by Romancing the Shadow (both are important!), she is a wonderful author and her work is both accessible and beautiful, those books were both very important in helping me deal with managing and ultimately overcoming my addictions, particularly alcohol.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've definitely come across her name while learning about Jung, and this will be a good way to start with her.

Not the grandparent but for me it's taking DMT. I am not as articulate as neom but my first time (and breakthrough) gave me a similar perspective.

I think DMT unlocked it, I don't think everyone taking the substance would have a similar experience. I think it's neurotype/personality dependent.

It helps that I meditate a lot and know a thing or two about Buddhism, that part really came out during my first experience.

Very nice! On iOS it does not seem to register fast consecutive taps correctly, if that’s fixed I would actually like to play this more often

Same on Android

Upon opening the URL I got a Wordpress install wizard: https://liberux.net/wp-admin/install.php

Did the site crash/reset/got hacked?

If they got hacked, it doesn't bode well for the security of the phone.

I submitted this site the other day. At that point, the site still worked.

Probably it's just the HN hug o' death.

This website has possibly the worst alternative to horizontal scrollbars I’ve ever seen: horizontal scrolling per paragraph.

Yep, that's what happens on mobile when each paragraph is in a <pre> tag of its own.

... this website are two monospaced texts in a <pre>. It does not use paragraphs.

My browser (Firefox Mobile) somehow does turn it into scroll bars per paragraph.

(Cool that it works btw)

Happens to me, too, on desktop with Chromium, just gotta resize the window to reproduce.
