schestowitz	Just because something is “not against the law” does not make it right, or positive.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	indeed! and just because it doesnt violate the 4 freedoms directly, doesnt mean it wont hurt the user.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	i can easily tell someone to run malicious code under a free license. the free license makes it easier to study, and easier to warn people about it, but that doesnt mean it is harmless code.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	you should be able to study harmful code, for educational reasons and to help you understand security. so that software shouldnt be banned, it should be understood.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	but the license doesnt care, or fix the problem. the user is free to run code that wipes out their files, and may want to for some reason, but if i try to put bad code into a project enough times, it is going to stay there until it is understood again.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	what if the purpose of the code isnt to do harm to the user, but to the project itself?	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	if people believe the license alone is enough, they will not address this. if it were only hypothetical, that would be one thing. but some of us believe we have already found code that does this.	Jul 07 21:21
schestowitz	and we are being told its not a problem. the license is treated as the fix-- instead of the thing that ALLOWS the fix, which is what it really is.	Jul 07 21:21

schestowitz	its hard to say which one is the biggest problem, the latter two seem to be making each other stronger. the fsf is hiding and asking for money-- money might help them in some ways, but it wont buy their freedom.	Jul 07 21:21

schestowitz	The FSF is just afraid of alienating its current/remaining members ($), just as it did when it launched the Vista 7 "Sins" campaign... people called that negative and some left. FSF is hardy combative, it's good at certain things like keeping GPL up to date/task.	Jul 07 21:22

I had decided to get her a panda doll (I forget why, maybe because she had talked about liking the real thing), but I found as I went from store to store that they only had teddy-bears and stuffed giraffes and some few other ugly things such as that alien Alf character.

schestowitz	i imagine a more autonomous version of the fsf, which both complements it and exists with or without it. for example, i am told stallman says there is nobody to take his place. before i was told this, i figured the fsf is going to get saddled with the “tim cook” of the fsf someday-- someone who really doesnt measure up in any real way to the person that made it what it is.	Jul 12 08:14
schestowitz	we can wait for that to happen, or we can work on a plan b. if the fsf does find a possible heir to stallmans work (i keep a list of those) thats great too. that means the fsf (the entity, the organisation) continues.	Jul 12 08:14
schestowitz	otherwise, we should ideally be working to make certain the fsf (the concept) continues. and since many of the formalities involved have proven to not help (the fsf still exists, but monopolies have found their way onto free softwares own turf, in my opinion) im not saying we get rid of those formalities (the fsf still exists)	Jul 12 08:14

schestowitz	Years ago, a Microsoft sales associate called my CEO to try to get a member of my team (and probably me) fired because we told Microsoft we were taking a pass on upgrading our company to Vista; too many problems.

schestowitz	I work in the public sector and we’ve been in bed with Microsoft for decades. Happy to have been too, I personally think we should do more Open Source for transparency reasons, but the truth is that Microsoft is the best major tech partner that we have. They may be the only major tech partner that we have that actually understands non-tech high-regulatory enterprise in fact, though Amazon is getting there with AWS. As an example of what	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	I mean by that is major incident. We like to be able to call people, we’re like that in the public sector, and with Microsoft Seattle will quite literally be on the phone with us until our issue is fixed, with a lot of other tech companies you either talk to a chatbot, fill out some form or make a ticket in their support system. When the bureaucracy makes stuff like NSIS (EU security standard) they are always first to implement it. On	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	the development front we’ve seen nothing but improvements over the years, and the fact that they’ve adopted the non-Microsoft techs we use like Node.JS and Python to be first class citizens is amazing. So is the fact that we can now buy C# code instead of JAVA and still run it on Linux servers. So I have a lot of praise for Microsoft.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	I don’t see any sort of change in their culture though. Sure they’ve adopted Open Source, and that’s amazing, but they’ve done it because it was the best way to keep enterprise on Microsoft products, even on the development front because Office365 has no real competition.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	.Net Core is a good example, it works everywhere but if you’re not using it with Visual Studio for Windows and the Azure devops stack you’ll just not be on equal footing to those who do. There was an issue with the .Net Core 2.1 watch command where it would require a full systems restart on Macs for more than a month, I mean, that’s just not taking Mac using developers seriously. Visual Studio Code has quickly become everyone’s	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	favourite editor, but you know how you get the most out of it? By setting it up with WSL. Of course none of this is an issue of you buy into the Microsoft environment. I mentioned Node.JS, well a lot of the Azure DevOps works with Node as well, and it’s just a natural thing to do when your C# stack is already living there. Of course the flip side of this is that you can never really leave.	Jul 12 08:29

schestowitz	Your phone's nav track is remarkably cheap to obtain from a variety of sources. So is your spouse's, and your siblings', children's, parents', business partners', lawyer's, boss's, boss's family. Dirt on any of them can be used against you. Sometimes, dirt on a judge the judge's family serves as well.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	Whenever you see an incomprehensible public action, such as a Senator suddenly resigning, or a billionaire let off from a child-molestation charge, know that behind-the-scenes activity, likely involving extortion, likely based on dragnet surveillance, is involved.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	Prosecutors use it to get guilty pleas to charges they could not get a conviction on. Cops and spooks use it to recruit a network of informants.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	The only protection any of us have is actual privacy, for ourselves and everyone around us, which requires shutting down pervasive surveillance systems.	Jul 12 08:29
schestowitz	Microsoft is very far from alone in employing this sort of dirty trick. They differ mainly in how open they are about it. Evidently they don't feel much risk of it biting them back.	Jul 12 08:29
