| TechrightsSocial | @schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: The #Microsoft booster helps Bacon call #RMS childish even though Bacon has retracted it http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/open-source/3415810/stallman-ubuntu-attacks-are-childish-argues-canonical-community-manager/ #ubuntu !fsf | Dec 15 00:15 |

| schestowitz | Gold also misrepresents Stallman's arguments to make them look unreasonable. | Dec 15 00:18 |
| schestowitz | Bacon is also guilty of bullshitting us like this because Stallman's demand for a separate search or a button in Dash that can toggle privacy each time, is simple and reasonable. Instead of arguing with Stallman's clearly stated concerns, Bacon dipped to name calling and nonsense about moral relevancy. That's the way Microsoft has justified violating their users all along. | Dec 15 00:18 |
| schestowitz | You can see these things played out in Bacon's g+ thread. | Dec 15 00:18 |

| TechrightsSocial | Title: Jono Bacon - Google+ - On Richard Stallman and Ubuntu -… .::. Size~: 354.08 KB | Dec 15 00:18 |
| schestowitz | Simon Phipps points out that Bacon has not actually refuted anything Stallman said. Later, I point out how easy it would be to put a toggle switch and popover in Dash that would keep results local. Michael Hall, another Canonical employee, argued with me saying that would not satisfy RMS but I think he's mistaken about that. | Dec 15 00:18 |
| schestowitz | Gold has done one useful thing for me. He points back to Shuttleworth's original response to EFF concerns and some of the bullshit Microsoft representatives were floating. When I read that, I see that Shuttleworth was looking for community feedback. | Dec 15 00:18 |
| schestowitz | "We’re interested in feedback in what sorts of things would be useful to search straight from the home lens, and how to improve the search results, as well as provide better control of the process to you." | Dec 15 00:18 |

| schestowitz | Canonical's search could be a useful service if it's only called when the user really wants it. I don't think hotkeys are an adequate protection for new users who might never discover them. A simple popover and toggle switch that remembers the users preferences do that job better. Even I might enjoy a search tool that combines a local search with a network search to take advantage of some kind of collective intelligence. | Dec 15 00:18 |

| schestowitz | Users that learn the hotkeys for context should be able to turn that toggle if they think it's ugly. What's important is informed consent and making prudence easy. | Dec 15 00:18 |

| schestowitz | hehe | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | but the analogy ism not good | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | the problem is the US has a n issue. it's too late. | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | Guns are not drugs | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | They needn't be used, not immediately | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | There are more guns than people in the US IIRC | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | Like sheep in NZ | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | ANd making them illegal is just a start | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | then you need to start collecting them | Dec 15 17:37 |
| schestowitz | expensive and prone to error | Dec 15 17:38 |
| schestowitz | not quite the same as war on drugs | Dec 15 17:38 |
| schestowitz | So I say, keep countries that are not pro-war crazed loons away from excess of guns | Dec 15 17:38 |
