schestowitz>> Technology companies in general are in the business of imposing artificial controls on the creative marketplace, much like DeBeers is with their diamonds. Thus we have copyrights, and patents, and even more sophisticated forms of control and coercion. GPL licensing is a legal and partial solution to the issues we face, yet entities which strive to profit in the realm of “intellectual property” do not restrict themselves to the domain Jan 14 03:48
schestowitzof Law. So, I suggest that the Free Software movement focus additionally, more strongly, upon its roots - the users/developers, and their actual practice on the ground. The on-the-ground nexus of community, programming, and system development is where the enemies of software freedom are now staking their claims: GitHub.Jan 14 03:48
schestowitz>>Jan 14 03:48
schestowitz>> GitHub is the prime location of one type of corporate control which must be addressed. You probably understand that “GitHub” properly, ideally, should be something provided by the Free Software Foundation. Savannah was a brilliant platform, at the time, but now GitHub provides much more real-time interactivity along with strong elements from social media. Seeing GitHub as a type of social media, with a centralized platform, it is easy Jan 14 03:48
schestowitzto see how Microsoft benefits from its users very much like Facebook does from its users: the loss of users’ privacy, with the concomitant collection of usage information gives Microsoft a powerful and insightful position over the development and marketing of Free Software. Another concern about GitHub is that it provides a direct avenue for censorship of software development. If you think that this might be far-fetched, you need only see Jan 14 03:48
schestowitzthat GitHub has already been forced to reject software from people working from countries that are being sanctioned by the US government. It is not a leap to imagine that this might be only a beginning.Jan 14 03:48
schestowitz>>Jan 14 03:48
schestowitz>> So what to do, specifically? It seems clear to me that the Free Software Foundation, or maybe Gnu Org. should embark on developing and implementing a direct and successful competitor to GitHub, geared specifically toward providing software freedom.Jan 14 03:48

DaemonFC[m]The total installed size of Opera was like 1.2 MB, which for reference was about 30 times snaller than Netscape Communicator 4.Jan 14 17:27
DaemonFC[m]Opera didn't have tabs, but it had its own window manager, which was odd.Jan 14 17:28
DaemonFC[m]But you would load web pages and then sort of manage them like Program Manager. It was sort of neat.Jan 14 17:28
DaemonFC[m]With Netscapr and IE you needed a new window for eaxh pageJan 14 17:28

DaemonFC[m]Some people said that window grouping on the Windows taskbar was all they needed though.Jan 14 17:33

MinceRhowever, statements without function calls wouldn't, so it's complicatedJan 14 21:26
MinceRif you just need a block (it isn't implied in anything), you need some sort of operator (like progn), which does mean extra typingJan 14 21:27
XRevan86MinceR: There are languages that favour or allow the "func arg1 arg2" style.Jan 14 21:27
