  • GPLv2 vs GPLv3 matters. At least to corpos. You can't just brush this away when they have a clear position on this.

  • Compare Ubuntu and MacOS. MacOS ships ancient version of Bash because its GPL2 which allows for coexistence with proprietary software on sold machines.

    So if Ubuntu gets rid of GNU coreutils and sudo what else stays GPL3 on a barebones system? You can swap Bash with Zsh like Apple did. And just like that you got yourself a corpo friendly distro to ship proprietary software. Just like Android, and look where that got us.

  • I think general pessimism about future would stop if people knew that pet raccoons await us in the future.

  • Open Source won not Free Software. Author didn't demonstrate that viral Free Software licenses lead to same undesired state as permissive Open Source demonstratably do.

  • Good points!

  • one liners can get pretty verbose, but it scripts nicely

  • Good paper! It confirms my bias therefore it is great :)

  • I think fediverse shows that the model works. Fringe ideas stay fringe because you can't amplify it with bots.

  • isn't right wing censorship worse than right wing propaganda?

  • Cats darting under a car are almost daily occurence where I live. There are numerous situations and we humans adapt quiet well.

  • yeah her bio looks like a lot of EU funds for various projects that are POC and then shelved. US big tech is basically her natural enemy in that regard.

  • That is true that these aren't faceless corpos but behind there are men who are out in public.

  • If you as a consumer want to own software FLOSS is the only option.

  • yes the SSID database

  • Honestly I don't know what would be the difference if this was a contract with Oracle, Microsoft, SAP etc. That is democratic stack?

  • To me this seems like any other big gov procurment. Which is bad of course but isn't anything new. And I fail to see how this leads to authoritarinism especially in Europe. We have our own local home grown cliques that capture gov contracts.
