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!

I think its rather expectation management. At some point you are going to see a wall of errors in command line. Even local hosting without exposing to internet will for typical user mean configuring routers because each wifi router creates NAT-ed subnet by default. Installation might be trivial but accessing your basement server from living room might not be.

one liners can get pretty verbose, but it scripts nicely

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

I’m using runbox with custom domain. No issues.

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.

People get jail time, what do we do with machines?

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
