Thanks you for putting the proper context of that. I’m only new to that particular event. I do remember a while back with something something regarding xz and recently, middle of last week, saw the video from Veritasium elaborate upon it a bit. I rare follow title like that but they got me on another one of their vidoe and after my usual roller coast vision into it, I was well and impressed but the way they took it to a meaningful development in logic itself. So seeing them post about this it bit and was floored by how much I appreciate the way the describe all the important concepts that are so difficult to talk to fucking anyone that isn’t already a coder. Then, even, it’s one way or the other. I don’t get too much into software development but I do study culture of it for my true project. RMS philosophy establishes the important basis for computer use but he misses all the basic structure I work for off what I need to establish for what I’m working towards Nothing wrong with that. I’m just trying to say that I respect the show speaking of, toward, and with part of logic of that is an important part of what I am studying.

The product of those who produce open source, especially FOSS, is fundamental logic for living toward a real world worth living in. It’s more than just about computers. I am working with working with computers to study how to say what they said about that and translate that to what we’re missing on the other part I was handed to before I understood the relationship of the particular subject I’m focused towards in active cognitive. Even that has only recently focus into something I can see in a wholeness sense. not that I do even begin to describe it. Blah, blah, blah. Communication has only recently been developed to the capability beyond allusion. That latter was achieved by kharma, like a gift but not “earned” but given by enduring a lot of “suffering” that I chose and learned from without questioning myself in my choice beyond doing so just to verify my logic. Which I do do, like doo doo.

Anyway…yeah. This stuff is important to me, certainly. I like to read well described attributes of such. Thanks for that.

There’s always TempleOS.

May make an alternate acc. after I make my apology+plea to blåhaj this Tuesday.
🙇‍♀️4informŋ me.

I’m not even who you’re replying to but this is too interesting not to at least try to ask.

As this is probably going to be our first and last interaction I’ll preface this by saying we probably share a lot of the same values but it seems our approaches are different.

So here goes.

1. That’s a hard pass from me. As a concept i mean.

If you require me to read a set of rules to interact with you that’s an immediate red flag for me, regardless of how reasonable they are.

I’m not suggesting you stop requiring them, i’m just saying i’m also free to ignore them.

That being said i did actually read them on this occasion, i have no compulsion to abide by them, it just so happens that they mostly align with how i interact in general. That probably doesn’t seem like much of a distinction, but it is to me.

As a side note, I’m a stickler for word choice and a solid 90% of people i’ve ever interacted with who claim to dislike pedantic grammar police are actually salty because they are being called out logical incorrectness in their word choice or sentence structure.

This is purely anecdotal and i am in no way accusing you of this, but for me it’s an orange flag to see something like that.

2. That’s fair, i’d expect nothing less.

3 . This is the interesting one, i don’t disagree on the principle but i’m interested to see how far through this you have thought.

As i said to the person i replied to, the issue here isn’t the field itself so much as the intention behind it.

If you’re far enough down the technological self reliance rabbit-hole to be compiling your own OS then you probably aren’t too fussed about dropping a few services if they mandate age verification, (the third party kind, not solvable by self compilation).

As a hypothetical. let’s assume somebody technically competent (but common sense deficient) has a visit from the good idea fairy and convinces someone in power to mandate age verification at the ISP level.

Is that a “stop using the internet” kind of moment or a “pirate ISP” kind of thing, perhaps a Cuba style local internet type deal or something else entirely ?

4. That’s a big ask for the everyday consumer, as it stands at least.

Does this way of thinking also address trust in the code itself or does that require you to read and understand all of the code being compiled, including libraries and other supply chain artifacts ?

Does it extend to hardware as well, with things like IME, PSP and perhaps DASH all the trust in the world won’t counter internal hardware based attacks ?

Not that i’m saying to do nothing, just wondering where you sit on this subject.

LF != Linux.

Linus banned the Russian maintainers. So there is precedent to boot the commie losers off their maintainer role.

It sucks to lose talent, but they should have moved out of that shithole decades ago. It’s on them for still living there.

Or call their bluff.

False equivalence as privacy is a human right. Article 12 of the UN declaration of human rights.

People have the right to switch projects and criticize the actions of the developers.

Rights? Why does the question of rights arise when discussing malware?

wtf! Everyone has an excuse for absolute everything and anything.

It’s complying in advance, when civil disobedience is called for.

The problem isn’t the technical change itself; the problem is the motivation and context.

The premise for why it’s being added however, subjectively does.

Which you know.

Also full address and name aren’t mandatory, so it’s not really a good comparison.

edit: I just realised i also replied to the same comment from you elsewhere in this thread.
