Server-side software isn’t the software you run so it is irrelevant, you cannot audit the server-side software, period. Accessing a site is akin to using proprietary software. There’s no ifs or buts, it is outside of your control. However, JavaScript runs directly on your computer so it’s akin to running proprietary spyware with a universal backdoor so get rid of it.

If you can self-host or use offline libre software, do it. It is the only way to guarantee software freedom, there’s no other option unless you make your connection absolutely secure and anonymous as much as you can.

1. Since when was Stallman conservative?
2. It’s not about “leaders,” you do not understand. Stirnerites don’t need leaders, they need apprentices. I do not share Stallman’s moralism and left-liberal sentiments, Hayley’s position is more attractive to me. It’s the same logic of identity essentialism, thinking that just because you share something in common with others you should always agree with them on everything ever. I, for example, don’t think it makes sense to use “per/pers” as a gender-neutral pronoun. Something that Stallman thinks makes sense.

Those guys love to install proprietary software without asking, that’s not what I would call “great”.

Yeah, sure, but OpenBSD almost doesn’t have proprietary software. I dunno why they keep those bits. But with HyperbolaBSD we will have a 100% libre system.

rms used a time-sharing system with others with no security at MIT and the system worked just fine.

A local network is a different use case, we are connected to the Internet now. Obviously local computers are more trustworthy.

Security is a convenience feature really.

I partially agree with you. Certainly, people always gravitate towards complete security solutions for convenience sake (the reason why antiviruses are so popular). But security is still needed, especially when your communication isn’t restricted to your local network. So while libre software is more important, security is at least the close second. That does not mean that a secure proprietary system is better. That means that a secure libre system is better.

Also, I do wish the recommendation algorithms ran locally, that would be very based. Wish we had a service like Spotify that functioned like that and didn’t require JavaScript or uBlock Origin. I would also not mind crypto mining inside the browser as long as it’s libre, private and unintrusive. And does not rely on advertisements (looking at you, Brave).
