People love talking about how capitalism is efficient. If that's true, then why the fuck do we have hundreds of people doing the same work at different companies to achieve the exact same goal of having shit delivered to your place?

In a better world we'd develop one open source solution, constantly improve it for everybody and fork it for local specific needs. Maybe another team could come up with a replacement a few years in, once a clear advantage is visible using better tech, for example.

In a world where we're not enslaved by starvation wages I'd love to take a day of the week to deliver food for my fellow neighbors. Then another day to work on the latest requested feature in the delivery system.

Just type "delivery" on your app store to see what I'm talking about.

      I agree with you, sadly the current open and free software movements suck :( See:

        Thanks for the links, those were some good reads. And damn Stallman is a piece of shit and I wasn't aware of it.
