#KISSprinciple is valuable and #WastefulComputing also applies to any resource...

@colinstu @gregly @garrwolfdog besides #KISSprinciple, it's also a matter of #security, #privacy, #efficiency and #professionalism.

• Otherwise one gets shitty #SaaS with #Shitcoin-#Scams like @signalapp (and it's #MobileCoin) which are way worse than @monocles / #monoclesChat or @gajim and #Monerujo or #FeatherWallet for the same purposes.

@kobilacroix also #OpenSource is used as a means to identify espionage and manipulation attempts and enable quicjer fixing if security issues.

• And that works not only for #Tor, but #OpenPGP, #OpenSSL, #OpenSSH, #OpenVPN, #Linux, ...

In fact, #OpenBSD's security is based upon #openness, #transparency and #KISSprinciple'd design.

• Not to mention #Monero is really frustrating the U.S. Govt. (espechally IRS) because it is #FLOSS and with basically billions in value locked in, every cryptographer of every major state and non-state actor is trying to exploit it.

That's the strenght of #FOSS:

• With every commit and every line if cide beibg public, noone can get away with #Govware-#Backdoors ob most stuff as they do constantly with #CCSS!

Cuz you can be shure everytime someone from NSA, CIA, GAFAMs, Huawei, etc. even commits a single line to linux or requests a merge there are countless people literally waiting to find a reason to say no and evidence it's a #backdoor of some kind.

@libreleah nodds in agreement

I use #bash for @OS1337 because it allows for very portable and easy to maintain scripts that just work, which is ideal for a #KISSprinciple'd and focussed on auditability #toybox+#musl / #linux distro.

• In fact I intent do go #GNUfree by switching over to #LLVM...

And yes, #accessibility starts with YOUR #TechStack!

Wounder why @OS1337 uses a 80x25 output and boots with serial terminal configured?

• Because it should just work with #BrailleScreens and #Terminals!

Because it just spits out 9600/8/N/1 and a #VGA #Console over #BIOS interrupts, it can be made super-accessible.

• I sadly don't have hardware to test it on but if anyone has, please feel free to do so and provide feedback.

Same reason I use #bash for OS/1337 build scripts: #KissPrinciple makes it more #accessible and easier to reproduce!

#OS1337

@ariadne makes sense espechally if you don't want to delegate that to tools like #curl or #wget to handle...

• In fact, were it not for the minimalist wget in #toybox [without #HTTPS!] I would've to figure out a different way to make the package manager for OS/1337, #spm, work.

OFC it's not operational yet but I know that #KissPrinciple is good...
And I do intent @OS1337 to do that with as well...

#OS1337
