     @mangeurdenuage wasn't the concept of science "to fork"?

     guess it's just appeasing the powers that be now.

     Possible. But I also know one of these which is my own childhood friend and even tho he works in a thinkthank/uni professor in international laws he's to make a paper on AI in his field but his knowledge on the topic is extremely limited and the knowledge on who he's depending to fill the gap seems to be also limited as I brought him new basic perspectives on the subject last time we saw each other.

     It's both.
     
     Consider that code = a language.
     Language = code.
     Only someone native to the language group can decode what is said, with the exception of people not native but who learn it.
     
     Consider Protocols as a mix of language, and method of transport of information, like for example the international post office system.
     You have country, country code, region, region code, city, street name, number etc...
     
     All of this forms what basically are computers and that's why we need computing to be free/libre.
     
     Otherwise it's similar as forbidding people to be able to learn teach or speak a language or send post mail as it's obfuscated and extreme complexity/size forbids you from doing so, that's the nature of proprietary software, it's a feudal system.

     @bonifartius @mangeurdenuage

     Thx for highlighting.

     Wtf, the fedi is a protocol, not software.

     What is this?!

     @mangeurdenuage it's annoying to me how every other discipline now heavily relies on computers, but they all regard computer science as something lowly.

     at a party i met a nuclear physicist and he blabbered about how easy it is to write python and that he could take any programmers job.

     your friend sounds more reasonable listening to others :)

     Many such cases.
     
     >your friend sounds more reasonable listening to others :)
     I do hope he listened to what I had to say.

     I think that's mainly because it's so abstract from what they're used to that they can even fathom what it is. I'm still trying to make a pedagogical model that most can understand but it's hard to not go into the details, so far my best example is to show do an adder with logic gates then point out how big is a 8 bit adder relay and I ask if they can try to imagine what you can do with billions and billions of transisors instead of around 150 relays.
     
     Then I think another reason is that all computers sold are under the feudal commercial model of microsoft/apple and that they suppressed proper third party market to be able to have something else than the current sandbox.

     @mangeurdenuage i think computer science is so interesting as on one side you have hardware aspect which you described where really cool things are developed constantly and on the other side there are incredibly clever ideas in theoretical computer science which can suddenly make new things possible. ideally one has to have a basic understanding of both, because it enables further research.

     @bonifartius I agree.
