#Minix è #OpenSource.

Il che è un po' parte del problema, perché il kernel e quasi tutto lo userspace (portato da #NetBSD) è sotto licenze permissive che non richiedono reciprocità.

Urge andare un po' oltre la retorica dell'open source che, con buona pace di #Stallman, è nato per permettere lo sfuttamento gratuito del lavoro altamente specializzato di volontari.

La storia di Minix dimostra che se l'europa si limitasse a soddisfare la definizione di open source dell'#OSI, fornirebbe semplicemente lavoro gratuito ai concorrenti stranieri.

Per evitare la "Tragedy of the (unprotected) commons" bisogna riscoprire il lavoro di Elinor Ostrom ed creare dei beni comuni protetti, in cui la totale reciprocità sia condizione al loro utilizzo.

Un #copyleft più forte della #AGPL per intenderci.

Un cambio di rotta (e retorica) ancora tabù, nonostante decenni di #SaaSS, ancor prima dei #LLM e del #vibecoding, ma sempre più urgente.

Automated bot check in progress

Além de frequentemente alertarmos que  Workspace, assim como qualquer Serviço Substituto de Software (SaaSS) ou de software privativo — o que consideramos #malware — é uma cilada,  , venho reiterar como as maiores empresas abusam de modus operandi frequente do phishing, o que prejudica a educação contra essa praga. É a denúncia/desabafo que publiquei em @[email protected] há um tempo, embora focado sobre correio eletrônico:

 A dificuldade de educar usuários contra “phishing” causada pelas próprias instituições

Aliás, as pessoas ignorarem esses alertas é algo, infelizmente, até esperado, embora não deixe de ser frustrante. Penso ser análogo ao que acontece com as dicas de saúde de Dráusio Varella, por exemplo. A rejeição às recomendações sobre a "saúde" tecnológica parece até mais frequente, beirando o negacionismo...

@kkarhan @foone #SaaSS is fundamentally hostile to the user's freedoms.

There's a reason I advocate for protocols and distributed peer-to-peer schemas.

Message-centric non-server-centric options where the servers are essentially interchangeable public caches/relays for messages the user-agents can make use of (the user-agent is the primary compute involved, under the control of the user) are about as far as one can mitigate the harms of non-distributed/p2p schemas. Anything else provides clear structural leverage against the user.
As times go on, #Linux kernel and distributions are degrading.

Including, sadly, my first and only one, #Debian that I used daily since I mamage to configure XFree86 on Potato, when I was ~16 yo (if I remember correctly).

For a year now I was looking (without much time to invest) for a #BSD to try.

Today I think I've found the best candidate with @[email protected]'s #MirBSD after I've read the Rationale of http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS-Licence.htm

Back then Debian got my attention because of the values they declared, freedom and sharing.
Unfortunately over the years they were escalated and slowly corrupted, reduced to formal adherence to a social contract that can be subverted in practice.

The whole #FreeSoftware movement has been marginalized, while its values are strumentalized to fool users' trust.

Even #FSF is laying behind with #copyleft licenses full of loopholes exploited by #SaaSS and #AI corporations.

It's time to move on, and a small BSD developed by a passionate #hacker might be a good new starting point.
The MirOS Licence (MirBSD)

I think i've captured the above sentiment that i wanted but feedback welcome #fightingfascism #technofascism #neonazis #thesoundofmusic #memes #saass #proprietary #ai #llm @fsf
It's an issue for me because I'm scared that the only language I know is English. They're potential friends who I can't talk to, and there are their posts... but how do I learn how to read them. I don't want to learn their English translation. I just want to learn those words, and alphabets! But it's so hard...

Then I give in and try to translate it, and standing in front of the translation machine is a Google executive, saying, "Would you like to login? Are you using a supported browser? Give me your fingerprints, now. No no, just pretend I'm not here. HEY NO USING THE MACHINE WITHOUT IMPLANTING MY TRACKING CHIP."

Then I try to build my own machine and everyone tells me "Oh yes Stardict shriveled away back in 1893. Alternative since then? Uhh we just sat there and twiddled our fingers. brb, going to report my activity to Google."

freaking #SaaSS ...
the #FSF does a lot of cringy wordplay, but "service as a software substitute" is spot on 💯. #SaaS #SaaSS
@interfluidity @pluralistic @a32 Or better yet, a fully #FreeSoftware one that requires no trusting in #SaaSS could arise and dethrone both.

@cas @pojntfx For what it's worth, I do agree we need something else.

Email is only slightly more resilient to censorship than full centralization.

I think accepting more centralization is a move in the wrong direction.

Is #GitBug the ultimate solution? I don't think so. It's the main one in development and usable right now though.

The corposcum PR apparatus pushing their centralized #SaaSS so hard hasn't helped, distracting many capable of coming up with decent alternatives from doing so.
