Back in 2022, surrounded by colleagues who were infused with "open source scepticism", I wrote "Open Source in Enterprise Environments - Where Are We Now and What Is Our Way Forward?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/opensource_enterprise_notes.html as an explainer.

Hopefully a useful thing for others too, with links therein #freesofware #opensource #enterprise #openbsd #freebsd #netbsd #linux

@[email protected] yes I know we discussed this before and I know you are trying in good faith to make #Guix better.

That's why I didn't mention you in my first post of this thread.

Sure #DeVault's attack on #RMS was much more direct and full of lies and mischaracterizations, but the Guix one was even more vile, as backstabbing a man when he's weak is worse than a frontal attack.

Sure, #Stallman hold a lot of bad opinions. As a white american grown up during cold war I'm surprised he doesn't hold many even worse. I even think that he got wrong the fundamental values of #FreeSofware (!!!), so it's not an hero or a saint to me: I'm fully capable of debating with him on his own biggest achievements.

What I cannot accept is backstabbing a weirdo because he is too weird. And just to weaken his rigorously held line on free software.

FreeSoftware should celebrate #weirdness!

🔥 La fondation #Mozilla en pleine dérive (selon moi) :
➡️ Financement à ~85 % par #Google (pas nouveau)
➡️ Évolution inquiétante de la privacy notice de #Firefox en 2025
➡️ Firefox bientôt dopé à l’#IA, annoncé par le nouveau boss de la fondation
🤷 De + en + difficile de faire de #Firefox une vraie alternative aux navigateurs des #GAFAM.
🚀 Mon combo actuel grâce à 2 forks : #LibreWolf (desktop) + #Fennec (mobile)
🎙️ Et vous ?
