  1. Hear me out:

    What if there were a master source repository of ALL open source packages?

    And an audit pipeline, through which every application release must pass.

    “Under a million eyes, all bugs are shallow.” - ESR.

    ALL free software developers would participate in auditing that repository.

    Any distribution that wants to include the known good package, would pull the source code from that repository, and generate whatever format they want to distribute the application in. Eg: .deb , .rpm , .pkg etc.

    This approach would result in solid, trusted packages, for ALL distributions, instead of a hit & miss approach. It would also reduce duplication of effort.

    The open question is about licensing, whether GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, or anything else.

    Please share your thoughts.

  6. Tanto #GOG como #Epic van a lanzar sendas tiendas para #GNU.

    No ha hecho falta una base de usuarios muy grande para que se decidan a hacerlo.

    Sí que ha hecho falta alguien que creyera en un sistema más justo.

  33. [mirror from an answer to someone that asked about my opinions on using entirely free software and that i couldn't repost]

    I share more positions with Richard Stallman and his (in my opinion) anarchistic interpretation of Free Software over Linus Torvalds ideals and his (in my opinion) neo-liberal coorporate interpretation of Open Source. I believe that software must be free and open source and that nothing of it - not even binary blobs - should be not even partially closed source.

    Making money with tagging software as intellectual property will lead to monopolization of the software AND hardware market. Computers can do create art, scientistic progress and should therefore be entirely free.

    That inspired me to learn C89 after Daniel Stenberg's coding standards strictly, but it's a very long and hard way to be an exellent low level programming person and i am still at the very beginning of it. I would love to write my own FOSS C89 drivers for devices and may contribute to RISC-V as entirely free processor architecture, but yeah... My entire life was full of high level coding with Java and Python in education and even university, so it's hard to change the perspective in core understandings from that.

    Anyway, somehow principles like KISS, self-documenting code and security+stability over fancy new features feels so safe and comfortable for me which empowers me for stuff like reading the dry GNU C manual.

    In lack of skill, money and trust in companies like Purism, i'm driving everything i own based on Debian (except playground systems). Therefore i use non-free software right now, sadly. GNU Guix seems interesting tho, will read into it when i've got more spare time.

    And yeah, i maybe develop towards tech conservancy. Sorry not sorry. I got strong opinions.

  43. Многие слышали о дроне #NASA - Ingenuity и его полётах над поверхностью Марса, но мало кто знает, что он работал на #ARM процессоре от старой коммерческой модели смартфона - Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (4 ядра с частотой 2,26 ГГц) и 2 Gb оперативной памяти под управлением #GNU / #Linux а за те самые фото с поверхности отвечал #FFMPEG

    На мой взгляд очень показательно, что в основе такого значимого проекта лежит открытый исходный код и работа энтузиастов #OpenSource , а не интересы монополистов.
