It a feature is lacking, a feature request can be submitted for it and chances are someone will go describe how to get x task done, or implement that feature.
nonguix is a sin considering that many of the most proprietary computers will in fact work without proprietary software added - there is usually just the inconvenience of using wired, or getting a decent Wi-Fi card or a reduction in GPU performance (that is reducing as Nouveau reclocking improves).
@eris@icedquinn@mangeurdenuage "Radioactive waste" is a misnomer, as no radioactive material is waste - it can be reprocessed to remove the neutron poisons and re-used.
Yes, coal does contain radioactive isotopes and burning gigatons of coal releases substantial amounts of such isotopes into the atmosphere.
>of said "holier-than-thou" vibe It's not a vibe - I am holier.
>by throwing some half-baked (if even that) projects that don't implement 90% of the user required features. The FSF has a free software directory that attempts to document all the available free software - alas people actually complain about it?
When it comes to free software with a lot of development work put into it, such software in fact usually exceeds 90% of the features a typical user requires - sometimes even hitting 100% and then adding more features.
Just because a program isn't an exact clone of some proprietary malware and thus requires that the user learn how to perform certain tasks in usually actually a better way, doesn't mean that the functionality doesn't exist.
People complain about GNU Octave, but it works fine and implements almost 100% of the functions Matlab provides.
Free software in early development may lack 90% of the features of a long developed proprietary program with millions or billions in funding, but the free software program at least respects the users freedom and thus you should use the free software instead for your freedoms sake, even if it is inconvenient (but really, I find free software to be extremely convenient, with inconvenience only ever resulting due to proprietary sabotage).
@ignaloidas@wolf480pl@karolherbst >whole emits this whole "holier-than-thou" vibe The FSF is indeed holier - they practice what they preach and focus on the practical aspects of freedom.
The "OSI" has approved multiple proprietary licenses, thus they won't help you with freedom.
@icedquinn@mangeurdenuage It is renewable - there is enough Uranium on the Earth and in the sea to last billions of years.
You can just throw the slightly used fuel right into the ocean with enough dilution, or better reprocess it, or just bury it back into the ground where it came.
Decades ago a known flawed reactor design was built, then it was neutron poisoned, then all the rods were pulled out and then the cooling was shut off and surprise, surprise, there was a steam explosion that was uncontained as their was no containment building - but such retarded act hasn't been repeated, but even an event that bad killed far less people than coal has and such uncontrolled ejection of radioactive material has never repeated.
@SuperDicq@mikka That seems to only apply to fast, newer devices, not on older devices that are overwhelmed by the other bloat more than the optimizations make up.
@SuperDicq@VIPPER It's only if you use soap etc on your skin or you use excessively hot water that it is bad for it, as your skin doesn't care about a bit of water.
@kottke Conscientious GNU/Car builder partially wants something that will just crush the other vehicle like a pancake in case of a collision with no damage and therefore selects a thick enough grade of steel for the frame.
@SuperDicq@mikka >I just navigate using roadsigns and remembering landmarks mostly. That works when you are going to places you've been before, but that does not work in ultra-proprietary countries where the road signs don't actually list the location the road leads to and lists somewhere else instead and often has few turn-offs (the sign that does list a place closer to where you want to go is the wrong route of course).
