err, to clarify, I didn't write this. I just wrote cacache and corresponded with the author.

This middleware is also basically the caching part of `make-fetch-happen` but in Rust! Exciting.

There's now an http client middleware for Rust that uses cacache-rs as a storage backend for doing cached http requests! Check it out! https://crates.io/crates/http-cache

I also think there's some important nuance here re: no, I don't owe free labor to companies in the form of free support or more "active" work that doesn't directly benefit the commons. The commons is simply available, as-is, with no warranty, etc etc. We need to internalize that.

Thanks to @jbeda for the concise file format writeup 7 years ago (!) in https://gist.github.com/jbeda/5c79d2b1434f0018d693 which beats scrolling to page 101 in a PDF for docs.

Hmmm. I kinda wonder if why stuff like Github Sponsors feels so different from Patreon. Patreon feels very _transactional_, but all my patrons on GH Sponsors are just like "I just want to send a tip your way keep doing your thing you don't owe us anything"???

re: "devs gotta eat"

Yes.

That's what regular jobs (in our current system) are for. What I'm trying to say with this whole thread is that it's _incoherent_ to try and jam the job system into the open source system.

@zkat__ ("kat.rs") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

(the other point I'm making is that doing-things-for-free that big-corps-do-for-profit is good, because it undercuts the corps and grows the commons)

@zkat__ ("kat.rs") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

Contributing to the commons, a commons where others contribute for our benefit as well, is not the same as plain old labor. I'm starting to feel like trying to apply the "labor" lens to open source development is itself a problem that's pulling us in the wrong direction.

@zkat__ ("kat.rs") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

maybe trying to jam capitalist concerns ("how do we pay for all this labor?") is always just going to be incoherent vs reality.

Maybe the focus needs to be "what are we doing for the commons which gives _us_ stuff for free?" and stop worrying about whether we're "paid fairly"?
