  • The faircode model assumes that contributions from random outside people are minor and that the bulk of the work is done by the founder(s). To the founders there is little actual benefit from being an open source project, anyway. I can understand the attraction of the model in that situation.

    My ideal OSS project would be receiving a steady stream of contributions from a wide variety of people without an elite sub group that considers themselves to be “the authors”, which would be obviously unsuited to the faircode model. Sadly few projects achieve that and are largely the work of one person.

    IMO it depends on the situation/project.










  • Haha yeah it’s brutal at first. There is a wiki for the game with maps containing spoilers - that really helps.

    The trick with rabbits is you watch where they’re going and position yourself infront of them, so they come closer and closer, with no sideways movement. Then they’re easy to hit with a stone.

    They don’t yield much meat so you need other sources too. Once you find a revolver (check wiki map) it gets a lot easier because then you hunt wolves instead of them hunting you.



  • Initially I was a bit surprised that they were not proposing to seize the entire means of production, only the transport system and land held by the aristocrats.

    But I dug into it a bit more - apparently there was very little industrialization in Germany at that time other than the construction of railroads and associated iron + coal mining, which is included in the nationalisation policy. So they were intent on taking over effectively all industrial activity, such as it was.
