Mumei as a source of radical societal reform was not on my bingo card.

It's a mixed bag (haha). Sometimes they do a decent job, sometimes not so much.

In this experiment, external funding is paying for the handouts.

In a self-contained system, the same system/community providing the handouts would be generating the revenue for them (e.g., via taxation). Think of existing social welfare where "the system" generates the revenue that pays for the welfare programs.

I've never seen the stats before and 8% seems really high?? Is there some subset of Australia that tips all the time that I rarely see?

Edit: nvm, the stat is confusing as other commenter pointed out.

The number of payments with tips has remained stable throughout the last year with 0.52% of payments throughout the hospitality sector including a tip in August 2023, according to Lightspeed.

I imagine Holo Indie will be beneficial mostly for games / devs without brand recognition, which HoloCure is certainly not lacking anymore.

Warning:

This visual novel features themes of violence, suicide, murder and cannibalism.

Don't threaten me with a good time

The list of options participants were given:

• Eat less meat (50% reduction)
• Stop eating meat
• Avoid food products imported by plane
• Use public transport
• Recycle things more
• Buy fewer new things
• More energy from renewable sources

Some of it is a bit less actionable then "eat less meat", but they're still pretty concrete.

If you believe the study enough to mock the outcome, then yes, apparently they'll take other actions:

"They are very happy to get more energy from renewable resources, to recycle things more, to buy fewer new things — which all do have an impact."

In addition to not qualifying by most definitions of open source (as already mentioned), CC is not recommended for use in software: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software

We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available.

Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software. Many software licenses also address patent rights, which are important to software but may not be applicable to other copyrightable works. Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses, so it would be difficult to integrate CC-licensed work with other free software. Existing software licenses were designed specifically for use with software and offer a similar set of rights to the Creative Commons licenses.

Regarding Fedia.io, it’s currently inaccessible as I’m working with developers to debug the problems and sadly symfony exposes way too much in debug mode
