XRevan86"may not be open source at all" – obviously, that depends on whether the OSI definition is taken or a more literal one.Sep 24 11:11
XRevan86schestowitz: This idea has been floating around for at least a year.Sep 24 11:12
XRevan86> The software may not be used by individuals, corporations, governments, or other groups for systems or activities that actively and knowingly endanger, harm, or otherwise threaten the physical, mental, economic, or general well-being of underprivileged individuals or groups.Sep 24 11:15
XRevan86Here's the actual clause.Sep 24 11:15
XRevan86You know who's underprivileged? The police.Sep 24 11:15
XRevan86Low rankingSep 24 11:16
XRevan86Everyone who works to undermine the common police officer is hereby forbidden to use software under this licence.Sep 24 11:16
XRevan86schestowitz: I don't really think the persona matters that much, as a lot of people expressed a desire in having a licence that forbids use by "bad guys".Sep 24 11:18
XRevan86And, as usual, it's not hard at all to twist the wording in a way that helps the powers that be discriminate against whomever they want.Sep 24 11:19
XRevan86Even though this one has less implicit assumptions than previous examples that popped up, it's still full of it.Sep 24 11:20
XRevan86That "underprivileged individuals or groups" means what they want it to mean.Sep 24 11:22
XRevan86Besides, "underprivileged" is a relative term. Putin is an underprivileged individual when compared to Xi Jinping.Sep 24 11:26
XRevan86Whoever manages to paint themselves the victim is who will be "protected" by this licence. And the compelness of the argument is to be determined in court, as impartial and fair courts typically are.Sep 24 11:31
XRevan86The bottom line is that this is legal stuff, it cannot afford to be vague.Sep 24 11:37
r_schestowitzyupSep 24 11:37
r_schestowitztroublemakingSep 24 11:37
XRevan86More power to the court.Sep 24 11:38
XRevan86Here's another twist: if one works in a shelter for the homeless, one actively helps making new cheap workforce, which endangers the existing underprivileged individuals.Sep 24 11:43

XRevan86Unfair? Yes. Won't be used in court? Somewhere in Russia it really could.Sep 24 11:44

cubexyzschestowitz, slackware is pretty much my main linux these daysSep 24 20:34
cubexyzcommunity distro, no corporate influence as far as I can tellSep 24 20:35
psydroidthat's interesting as I abandoned it about a decade agoSep 24 20:36
cubexyzpsydroid, what are you using now?Sep 24 20:40
psydroidcubeyz, various distributions, mostly debian and ubuntu and depending on the hardware other distributions and operating systemsSep 24 20:42
r_schestowitzcubexyz: yeah, we've fallen a decade behindSep 24 20:43
r_schestowitzwith stuff like systemd and other crap thrown in, even 'secure bootSep 24 20:43
cubexyzI haven't really butted heads with secure boot as yetSep 24 20:47
psydroidI have disabled it on both of my laptops, I didn't want to deal with itSep 24 20:48
psydroidand I think I had to, when I installed debian on it 2 years agoSep 24 20:49
MinceRmy work laptop is a piece of shit hp so legacy boot doesn't work on itSep 24 20:49
MinceRit can be enabled, but no boot device using it will ever show upSep 24 20:49
cubexyzevidently anything windows 8 requires secure bootSep 24 20:54
cubexyzI can only assume that's true of win10 as wellSep 24 20:54
MinceR¯\_(ツ)_/¯Sep 24 20:55
MinceRi wouldn't call it "secure", as it isn'tSep 24 20:55
psydroidsecured against the product's supposed owner and other operating systemsSep 24 20:56
cubexyzas long as one can disable it... with chromebooks there's "developer mode"Sep 24 21:01
cubexyzthen you can just put ubuntu or whatever onSep 24 21:01
cubexyznot to mention booting from USB devicesSep 24 21:03

XRevan86psydroid: It depends. You just have to know before buying whether you can.Sep 24 21:36
psydroidXRevan86, my laptops are from 2016, but I don't know about current hardwareSep 24 21:37
XRevan86psydroid: I had experience with a 2018 laptop and I follow the news.Sep 24 21:38
psydroidand I'm moving away from x86 slowly but surelySep 24 21:38
XRevan86My understanding is that laptops are worse than separate motherboards in this regard.Sep 24 21:39
XRevan86but I don't know, maybe motherboards do the same nowSep 24 21:39
XRevan86for PCsSep 24 21:40

XRevan86psydroid: To where though?Sep 24 21:40
XRevan86So many years have past and stuff around ARM is still chaos.Sep 24 21:41
XRevan86will get obsolete in no timeSep 24 21:42
psydroidXRevan86, ARM, POWER, RISC-V and I will have to see what elseSep 24 21:43
XRevan86psydroid: Tell me if you manage to get something running decently without binary blobsSep 24 21:43
XRevan86or something else that will quickly become unsupported by latest versions of LinuxSep 24 21:44
psydroidXRevan86, only an Orange Pi for now, but that's not very powerfulSep 24 21:44
psydroidI recently got a Jetson Nano for little, I am waiting for a power supply to see what that's likeSep 24 21:45
psydroidI am running everything mainline on the Orange PiSep 24 21:46
psydroidthe only blobbish thing I am aware of is ARM Trusted FirmwareSep 24 21:46
