  • It’s not about competing, it’s about providing an alternative. GNU/Linux isn’t really competing with windows as a desktop OS for the masses, but people who want more freedom and privacy get the alternative. Fairphone isn’t competing with Samsung or Apple either.

    I feel like if we follow your line of thought, then we should never try to do things better because the existing is too big.









  • You don’t get paid money “just for existing”.

    You get paid money to pretend you enjoy the company of the guy who tips, even if he’s the biggest piece of shit you’ve ever met. You get paid money not to hit him in the balls when he says sexist and degrading things about you. You get paid money not to break his nose when you hear him saying racist stuff to his friends. You get paid to say “remember, no touching” with a smile instead of pepper-spraying him when the guy touches your ass although you explicitely told him not to before.

    You don’t only get told you are beautiful and sexy. You also get told that you’ll only have value as long as people find you beautiful and sexy. You are not complimented on your ethics, your intellect, your achievements - and you know that these would not get you any tips if you didn’t have a body men 20 years older than you find beautiful and sexy.

    Please stop romanticizing sexual exploitation in a capitalistic world. It’s at least as stupid as romanticizing the grind, or the billionaire’s success.
