Now, trying to cancel him bcs of his edgy statements, is really a bad joke, the very idea of #FreeSoftware we now enjoy was harshly attacked for many decades

I'm not saying you need to agree with him on everything, people can't even agree with their family in many regards

No human on Earth is loved by everyone, nor "perfect", we all have all kind of quirks, we learn to live with them and/or improve on the way

Trying to cancel someone out of a trend, I think is just stupid

At some point #RMS will no longer be with us, that's just inevitable.

The issue I see most of the people wanting to break the bond between him and the #FreeSoftware movement is to move it away of its ethical and technical values, and ideology.

This is not the first time, the OSI was the result of early attemps.

As the OSI prepares to make official its "open source AI" definition with a glaring lack of requirement that the actual source (training data) is made available, it's worth noting that their work is funded by google, meta, microsoft, salesforce, etc. What does open source even mean here if the literal source of the model isn't open? These companies are invested in making you think they're on your side while they boil the oceans to avoid paying human beings for labor.

The idea behind open source, as it grew out of the free software movement, has always been to water down software freedoms, to create something more palatable to corporate interests that *sounds* good but means very little. This continues that work for the current "gen AI" bubble. It's time to ditch open source as an ideal, and the OSI especially.

Recordatorio periódico de que la filosofía del Software Libre (Free Software) busca defender las libertades del usuario del software.

El Código Abierto (Open Source) es un movimiento que aparece después por razones prácticas y que defiende un acceso abierto al código, que permita cualquier uso.

A veces se usan como sinónimos, y en algunos contextos incluso lo son, pero existen diferencias sutiles y significativas en su fin último.

Hello,

For all #Guix users in #Trisquel, it is recommended to update their system to the latest update to correct a security detail found in recent versions.

There is no CVE assigned, however you can find more information about it at: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2024/build-user-takeover-vulnerability/

This is a "home-made" update, at the moment there is no update from Ubuntu or Debian yet.

Thank you for your attention and happy hacking! 😀 👍

With 7 people contributing, we have raised 11,863/23,000 rupees (crossing 50% mark) for our https://prav.app/donate/custom-username/ crowd funding campaign!

Thanks to everyone who contributed already and if you haven't contributed, please consider contributing.

We want to demonstrate, even people who don't have any programming skills can meaningfully adapt a Free Software to fit their needs, if they come together, pool money and hire a programmer.
