| schestowitz | Well, I didn't mean to say biased in a negative way, but more as experience like Will says. | Mar 28 05:00 |
| schestowitz | I think that any constructive criticism stops being useful when the other person don't want to think about it; I used to like Ubuntu in the past but I never used it, Debian have been good enough to me. But there have been so many negative changes around Ubuntu that I can hardly would chose it even if I had to stop using Debian, I don't like the direction Ubuntu is taking that isolates itself from the Free Software community, and I like | Mar 28 05:00 |
| schestowitz | even less the spyware that they're installing by default, even if it can be uninstalled. | Mar 28 05:00 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 05:00 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | These charges have always been leveled at Canonical and they are mostly manufactured controversy of the type Microsoft specializes in. What are they really? How is Canonical not listening to users exactly? Byfield's article is a recycling of old FUD with a good measure of doom and gloom. Shame on him. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | The FSF had a reasonable concern about privacy and gave good constructive criticism. The concern was that search queries were sent to the web for local searches in a way the user would not expect. The suggested solution was to put in a toggle. I chatted a great deal with Canonical representatives to understand what they were doing and to suggest unobtrusive UI changes to fix things. I don't know if they acted on Stallman's general or | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | anyone's specific advice. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | I do know that there have not been many other issues specific to Ubuntu that the FSF has had with Canonical. Canonical is not on the list of FSF recommended GNU/Linux because it makes non free software too easy to install. Debian and many other distributions have the same problem though Debian has made good progress and now completely identifies and separates non free software so that users can easily get an all free Debian like I have. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | ;-} | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | Byfield is making things worse not better. There is nothing wrong, for example, with Shuttleworth trying to give us free hardware. Everyone wants hardware that respects their freedom. It's better to ignore this kind of trash and concentrate on facts. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | I remember one example about not listening users and is forcing the use of Unity, I have not used it but I have heard lots of complaints, and if Unity is tablet-oriented like Windows 8 then I would understand. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | Since we have exchanged arguments and even so we don't change our mind, I think we have to agree that we don't agree. :-) | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | "What do you mean forcing Unity? That would be like saying that Debian forces Window Maker, Gnome, or XFCE4 because those have once been default window managers. Ubuntu has alternate window managers as official projects, such as kubuntu, and derivatives use other desktops. Trisquel uses Gnome and others use KDE." | Mar 28 05:02 |

| schestowitz | I couldn't agree less. We did nothing. Ubuntu still is the most used GNU/Linux distribution in the world. Canonical is no longer a trustable company under Free Software point of view. It has proved that whenever they get in a position to chose between protect the user or make more money they will go for the second. | Mar 29 20:32 |

| schestowitz | Well, I didn't mean to say biased in a negative way, but more as experience like Will says. | Mar 28 05:00 |
| schestowitz | I think that any constructive criticism stops being useful when the other person don't want to think about it; I used to like Ubuntu in the past but I never used it, Debian have been good enough to me. But there have been so many negative changes around Ubuntu that I can hardly would chose it even if I had to stop using Debian, I don't like the direction Ubuntu is taking that isolates itself from the Free Software community, and I like | Mar 28 05:00 |

| schestowitz | These charges have always been leveled at Canonical and they are mostly manufactured controversy of the type Microsoft specializes in. What are they really? How is Canonical not listening to users exactly? Byfield's article is a recycling of old FUD with a good measure of doom and gloom. Shame on him. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | The FSF had a reasonable concern about privacy and gave good constructive criticism. The concern was that search queries were sent to the web for local searches in a way the user would not expect. The suggested solution was to put in a toggle. I chatted a great deal with Canonical representatives to understand what they were doing and to suggest unobtrusive UI changes to fix things. I don't know if they acted on Stallman's general or | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | anyone's specific advice. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | I do know that there have not been many other issues specific to Ubuntu that the FSF has had with Canonical. Canonical is not on the list of FSF recommended GNU/Linux because it makes non free software too easy to install. Debian and many other distributions have the same problem though Debian has made good progress and now completely identifies and separates non free software so that users can easily get an all free Debian like I have. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | ;-} | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | Byfield is making things worse not better. There is nothing wrong, for example, with Shuttleworth trying to give us free hardware. Everyone wants hardware that respects their freedom. It's better to ignore this kind of trash and concentrate on facts. | Mar 28 05:01 |

| schestowitz | I remember one example about not listening users and is forcing the use of Unity, I have not used it but I have heard lots of complaints, and if Unity is tablet-oriented like Windows 8 then I would understand. | Mar 28 05:01 |
| schestowitz | Since we have exchanged arguments and even so we don't change our mind, I think we have to agree that we don't agree. :-) | Mar 28 05:01 |

| schestowitz | "What do you mean forcing Unity? That would be like saying that Debian forces Window Maker, Gnome, or XFCE4 because those have once been default window managers. Ubuntu has alternate window managers as official projects, such as kubuntu, and derivatives use other desktops. Trisquel uses Gnome and others use KDE." | Mar 28 05:02 |

| schestowitz | I couldn't agree less. We did nothing. Ubuntu still is the most used GNU/Linux distribution in the world. Canonical is no longer a trustable company under Free Software point of view. It has proved that whenever they get in a position to chose between protect the user or make more money they will go for the second. | Mar 29 20:32 |
| schestowitz | Amazon search is one of this tricky features the community find out, but who is going to "put the hand on fire" to guarantee that there is not a couple of others that no one knows? | Mar 29 20:32 |

| schestowitz | With a lot of financial and technical resources available and now with no more moral breaks how far is Canonical from any of the traditional proprietary software? How can you ever trust that they are going to respect Free Software philosophy ethics anymore? | Mar 29 20:32 |
| schestowitz | That's what I've been advocating to people do not use Ubuntu anymore. | Mar 29 20:32 |
