schestowitz_bed2One way or another, the good articles should be made available for history to be preserved. I linked to thousands articles like these and if they're indexed by Google, then I can at least locate them by title/body strings. When there is no written record of past events, they can be denied and history can be rewritten by opportunists (or victors who brush out their victims out of existence, even out of memory). Evidence helps Oct 09 05:33
schestowitz_bed2refute a liar even hundreds of years after an event, so bad actions cannot be embellished and good actions or progress can be demonstrated. Yesterday I cited Linux Gizmos about 20 times, noting that Linux (sometimes GNU also) now dominates in devices (Android helps this and ARM facilitates this also). Linux Devices used to have some showcases that several years ago made a largely-maligned platform seem like the rising force which Oct 09 05:33
schestowitz_bed2is now somewhat of a de facto standard. Whether this helps digital liberation of some kind of not may not matter much; the matter of fact is, those who advocated Linux for devices won the argument, and their work that accompanied this important trend should be made accessible for all to view retroactively. Imagine what the world would be like if billions of embedded devices ran an underlying platform that's purely proprietary, Oct 09 05:33
schestowitz_bed2possibly back-doored, not open to outside contribution, monopolised by one company/board of directors etc. I guess we can never know because we now safely assume that kernel.org is what gets funnelled into a lot of chipsets. It impacts behaviour of programs (e.g. over users). I believe that there is a lot more to software than just code and when code is embedded or made immutable we just have to assume yet more power to the Oct 09 05:33
schestowitz_bed2developer/s over users. This power is abused more often than people realise, the NSA leaks for instance have shown.Oct 09 05:33
