We need to start making proprietary software illegal Anonymous 15-02-24 06:40:23 No.23448

We need to make it hard for proprietary software to exist in certain sectors in life. if not outright illegal.
RMS used to talk about how schools should only teach using free software, have you made any effort to get your local school to use GNU/Linux?
other sectors include the government and public places.
we could start campaigning with other techies to get public terminals to use GNU such as public library computers for example (not sure who still goes there now a days kek)
but above all I think we should push for the private commercial sector, we need to make it so that certain kinds of software have to be open. software that can easily end up being monopolized should be made only available as free software. such as office tools and perhaps only serviced for money.
post more ideas comrades

Stallman is a liberal so it's par for the course.

free software is computer communism. it doesn't hurt to promote it in a public setting
in a socializing economy we should expect almost all code to be free software, possibly with the exception of military stuff

true, discussing public policy is bullshit. this website is only for jerking off imagining lining all liberals up against the wall, and other related glowposting

You're not gonna like this.
>localized/regionalized parental/community control of everything put in front of children's eyes on social media, gaming and video platforms.
>A localized version of the granular control the US government has over tiktok
Tie this to everything in your OP and it's a winner.
<Finally, the year of the desktop, the public terminal and the linux phone.
Parents and communities are sick of silicon valley serving shit to ipad kids while they don't allow their own children to use ipads.

It's only a bandaid until open and free hardware becomes a thing which is only possible when workers control the means of production, software can't exist in a vacuum, it's like ying without the yang so to speak.

yeah, it's a shame. Why kind of cruel person would want to demoralize the handicapped? Their programmers can't code, their users do nothing useful and they erect arbitrary barriers to cope about their shit products. Be kind, anon, and let them have their autistic playpen.

good thing libre silicon is a thing then, and China is churning out millions if not billions of RISC-V CPUs among other things
besides RISC-V there are also projects like OpenRAM: https://openram.org/
on top of this you have yosys, and it would probably not be too difficult to design a completely libre FPGA

That's actually pretty nice if that's actually true. But are RISK-V and FPGA ready for daily driving? And how does one get a laptop with one?
