@pthane @Nickiquote @DTJackson They’re playing 4D tic-tac-toe.

“What then is the proper solution for climate arson and human rights abuses? Is it universally binding supply chain legislation? Is it jail time for CEOs? Is it the requisitioning of company profits to build flood defences and compensate workers … Does it mean brands and retailers giving up purchasing practices that force suppliers to meet ridiculously low prices? I guess that depends on what price you put on having a liveable planet.” – @tansy

@tofugolem @stib 🐸 Slowly boiling frogs 🐸

@breadandcircuses I love how the mainstream press isn’t capable of discussing even degrowth without using growth-based terminology (“boom times for”).

Looking forward to future articles on “scaling degrowth” :)

@steveruizok @letime64 Nice :) (And lovely ink, by the way.)

@TCatInReality @peachfiend If there are any left, that is.

@TodePond I don’t know about “leadership” but I’m glad to be a peer of lovely folks like you :)

@benjaoming They got VC.

@mayank Nope – source is available but not open source: https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/LICENSE.md

This is the older, open source version (MIT license) of tldraw:

Online: https://old.tldraw.com

Source code: https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw-v1

Not nearly as nice as the current version (no auto snapping, auto text flow, custom font, etc.) but could be something someone forks and enhances in a similar direction.

Capitalism makes everything better. And by better, I mean worse.

@pedrosanta @joakimfors Sadly, it’s working exactly as designed.

The goal of this initiative is to whitewash Big Tech social media companies and to use the legitimacy of folks like Mastodon to do it.

@letime64 Not related, afaik.

@benjaoming Thanks. I thought tldraw was open source still. Hadn’t seen that they’ taken venture capital and gone closed source.

Yay, capitalism.

Right, so tldraw is not open source any longer. You can still save your stuff locally but their going closed source and taking venture capital are warning bells.

Gotta love capitalism. Makes everything better, doesn’t it?

@raul Ah, scratch that, apparently tldraw used to be open source, the latest version isn’t.

Fun times :shrug:

@raul Looks nice but, sadly, VC-funded and – please correct me if I’m wrong – closed source.

So either it will have to exit (get bought by a bigger fish or IPO) or fail fast (goodbye all your diagrams).

Best of luck with it but I’m going to stick with the open source tool where I can save stuff locally (note tldraw is also VC-funded so it’s not perfect by any means but at least it’s not proprietary) :)

@Walrus Looks like it’s their own font… tldraw_draw is what I see in the dev panel.

@ctietze Wait till you see the smart snapping between objects as well as object labels, etc.

It’s beautifully minimalist. As simple as it needs to be and no simpler. I can only imagine how much work has gone into keeping it that simple.
