Dyne.org is a digital community and free software foundry. We share tools, practices and narratives that empower artists, creatives and citizens in the digital age.
We focus on developing software that benefits society, rather than generate profits and profits. It's about developing technology that people can understand and control, rather than having people being controlled by machines. Building communities is valuable in the long term, with other types of benefits that are not monetary, because there are other ways to prosper and earn. Software not just about money, it's about participation, ideas, people and a sense of community.

Relevant: Three Arrows.
Interestingly, while during the Weimar republic the targets of the arrows were monarchy, nazism and communism, nowadays they represent opposition against fascism, capitalism and clericalism for the Austrian social democracts (the symbol is in their official flag). Not surprisingly, the US faction calls for the fight against fascism and racism but – at least as I am aware of – not against capitalism.

Is npm Enough? Why Startups are Coming after this JavaScript Package Registry.
(…) what is the financial model that would turn npm from a cost center into a profit center?
Relevant comment: “I don’t understand how people fail to see that monetizing infrastructure nigh-universally requires betraying the purpose of the infrastructure. It’s already a profit center; the profits we get from npm are the profits of everything that requires npm. npm pays dividends to all of us across the Internet every day. The fact that our economic systems aren’t built to support this kind of notion is a bug in the economic systems, not a flaw in the concept of infrastructure.”
