| schestowitz | This article is shallow and disappointing. It is impossible to share things privately with a person using non free software because that person has no privacy. Even with free software, the methods they discuss involve password sharing but some other method that’s sure to be intercepted.

| schestowitz | The only way to improve this dismal situation is for people to understand the problem and demand change.

| schestowitz | Yeah, a guix-based system does not work friendly-like with many programs - largely because they come with too many dependencies.

| schestowitz | I tried hyperbola, but it was difficult to get going. It’s kinda like arch, with non-free pieces missing. GuixSD is radically different from any other distro (except NIX), and brings local execution and reproducible builds to the forefront. Very powerful ideas! | Sep 13 05:30 |

You cannot stop everyone from closing their windows to block the sound.

| schestowitz | however, the fact that many people consider unnecessary censorship immoral (and most censorship is strictly speaking, unnecessary-- some of it we have little choice) makes the analogy work. facebook SAYS its going to steal your data in bulk and sell it off to 3rd parties, and that makes it morally acceptable.

| schestowitz | Could be - but it sounds to me a lot like what Gnome did wrong when they tried to turn multiple desktops into a continuous thing you added to, and flipped between left and right. It’s a step backwards from an already working system from the ancient past. Nothing I’ve seen in the virtual desktop scene is at all superior to a simple 3x3 array of nine screens that we have had in window managers since at least the days of FVWM. Having the | Sep 13 07:18 |
| schestowitz | desktop icons be customizable to each of those virtual desktops ala Activities could be a neat option, but not at the expense of losing the arrangement and fast switching. You do not have to look or think to move to the right desktop in a 2x2 or 3x3 array, as long as wraparound is disabled - two taps and you are guaranteed to be at an edge, so you can quickly and accurately get to a known position from anywhere, every time. It leverages | Sep 13 07:18 |

| schestowitz | devuan is taking exactly the freedom approach: not happy with the way some project you use is taking? not able to convince its community to take the direction you’d prefer? well, then, time to fork or make your own from scratch. that’s the active approach I defend. | Sep 13 08:23 |
| schestowitz | the alternative would be for those who share devuan’s take to somehow impose their wish over those who are developing and getting adoption for something that devuan doesn’t approve of. that imposition would hardly be respectful of their freedom. | Sep 13 08:23 |
| schestowitz | yeah, it’s unfortunate that the wishes aren’t lined up, that there’s no agreement, but freedom means everyone’s allowed to pursue and act in their own best interest, even when that makes it harder for others to get their own wishes. | Sep 13 08:23 |
| schestowitz | now, you’re right that the pursuit of one’s wishes may resemble lock in to those whose wishes are being made harder. to me, the key difference is between being able to impose one’s wish, not leaving any choice to the other party, and merely prevailing as to the default, leaving the other party (through software freedom, including freedoms to modify, fund modification and ultimately to fork) the possibility to get things their way | Sep 13 08:23 |

| schestowitz | i guess the thing is, that you can work to deliberately make things harder to adapt, and if thats not lock-in, its certainly an attempt. | Sep 13 08:29 |
| schestowitz | if then, people dont choose something that creates less lock-in, and they dont have the resources (including talent) to deal with the onslaught of attempts, then you end up with projects like devuan who spend FIVE FUCKING YEARS removing an unwanted component from the core of an operating system, which is hosted by microsoft and controlled by ibm. | Sep 13 08:29 |
