| schestowitz | keep asking @Alexandre Oliva because he has the most successful fork of linux i know of. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | your question is going to get a lot of funny looks, because right now most of the damage is to userspace, and the fsf is nearly oblivious to it or pretends to be. but the possibility of the kernel being sabotaged in a similar way seems extremely and increasingly likely. expect the fsf to do nothing. as long as the project is under the right license, the fsf is passive or next to useless to stand up to sabotage– they just sit by and talk | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | about licenses. there are notable exceptions to this policy, for accuracy and fairness: they have guix and hyperbola, which is promising. icecat is a slight improvement over mozilla. therefore there is a positive precedent along the lines of what is necessary, but i still condemn their passivity as being practically speaking next to throwing in the towel. they do still promote, they just dont critique the practices that will cost them the | Jul 21 07:50 |

| schestowitz | GNU Linux-libre is not a fork of Linux, just a (modified) distribution thereof. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | i expected you to say that. to me its a minor (if relevant) quibble. its worth mentioning. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | the work that goes into Linux-libre is so narrow, specific and mechanical that it can’t be assumed that I’d be competent to maintain a Linux fork | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | i expected you to say that as well. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | for a year or two ive explored the concept of distro-libre, an effort to expand linux-libre into automating the modification of distros (to make them more libre.) ive already mentioned it to rms who says its not that simple. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | of course it isnt. i know, ive automated the remix of debian 9 to create an iso with sysvinit instead of systemd. ive done the same with trisquel and upstart (sadly, upstart is dead-- if you want up-to-date trisquel/ubuntu without systemd, youll eventually need packages from outside the project.) | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | im not putting the task onto you, i figure its more than you (perhaps even linus himself, if he actually cared) are up to. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | but i still invite people to take a good loo at linux-libre for ideas, and use it as a template for a linux fork. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | i strongly believe automation is a better use of time-- and i think gradually, more and more distros are demonstrating this in practical terms. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | what we need (strictly my opinion) is to make the automation friendly enough that more people can participate. this regards the distro concept, not the kernel which is more highly technical. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | i imagine a future where distros are second-class citizens, more like the pellets and spools you put into 3d printers-- and free software applications allow you to suck up an iso and spit out an automatically modified one. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | but these applications would have various defaults-- moving the distro configuration from the iso builder to the iso modifier application-- so a “vanilla” distro would have certain defaults but you could change all sorts of things before the new iso is created. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | the most tedious and errorprone and repetitive (squandering so much of what computers do best, which is assist such tasks) way to do this is simple, manual remastering. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | im talking about a framework for automated remastering multiple distros. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | the key difference is that it would put the people currently in charge of such decisions in a distro in charge of either choosing defaults for the framework (ideally) or doing exactly what they always do, and allowing other people (devs, users) to override that in their own iso. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | suppose that for example, that you distrust systemd so much that you dont want it to ever run, outside of an emulator like qemu. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | you take your favourite distro, you select “desystemd” from a community-produced gui or as a command line option, and you select what init system you from the options available for that distro. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | this assumes that some distro creators are not entirely hostile, though untrusted with certain things. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | systemd is a toolkit for a universal (corporate) distro in a way that takes choices and freedom away from the user. (you dont agree, but thats my position.) this is about creating a de facto universal distro, which doesnt rely on a certain corporation, a certain distro developer team, or a certain distro family. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | rather than allowing red hat to take control over all distros, as it has-- the goal is to allow users to. | Jul 21 07:50 |
| schestowitz | the closest thing to this in the real world is guix. i think there are several ways this could be done to allow users to hijack and tame existing distros, and make them more free. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | because this starts with distros that may or may not be fully free already (ive done this with trisquel, debian and with puppy linux) the fsf is never going to endorse it. they will make the same critiques they make about flatpak. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | this is something i differ on with the fsf-- while i DO think we should offer people distros that contain no non-free software (preferably even in the repos) i also think we should give people powerful tools to make other distros more free-- to even remove non-free components from isos. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | this is a huge undertaking, and the fsf doesnt have the humanpower for it. it doesnt have the resources. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | which is why i think before this is possible, it is necessary to teach more people how to code. for that, i think we need a language that is friendlier than python (but similarly powerful.) | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | the fsf is more likely to recommend lisp of some kind. i DO recommend as many people learn python as possible (and learning lisp will improve them as coders forever) and python is a friendly language, but i think its getting to be more enterprise-like. i really dont care for the new stuff. the talented dev i knew from nokia didnt care much for it either, preferring python2 (which is friendlier for sure-- less fiddly code to do the same basic | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | tasks. like os.system over the mountain of nonsense they favour because it has all the options an enterprise coder needs.) | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | there arent enough people who can help, simply because the fsf doesnt do education. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | in my opinion, we need: | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | a stupidly friendly language to help a larger number of people learn to code | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | to promote learning that language (or python, or lisp-- bash if nothing else) ← to promote choosing one or more | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | to create an automated framework that lets users become distro modifiers | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | this is not highly technical enough to create a group of people that can maintain a linux fork (writing one is easier, but pointless-- maintaining one is the hard part) but this was the first code linus wrote: | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | 10 PRINT "Sara is the best" | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | 20 GOTO 10 | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | ive moved past basic (even as the easiest language for beginners) but if we want everyone to code and possibly move forward to “real” language, we need a language thats so stupidly simple that anybody can learn it. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | there are several stupidly-simple languages that are easy to learn (most of them inspired by logo, hence their ease of use-- 7-year-olds can learn logo, despite what wozniak says-- history and footage of people using apple ][ computers shows his claims to be nonsense-- he says age 11. what did he pull that number out of?) but most of them (save appinventor) dont do very much that is practical. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | beginner-friendly languages that serve a real purpose are hard to design, but im happy to assist with that. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | ive not only written my own https://codeinfig.neocities.org/fig/figcolor.fig.html ive taught other people how to as well. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-codeinfig.neocities.org | digital literacy for everyone | Jul 21 07:51 | |
| schestowitz | the more people we teach, the more opporunties we have to: | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | 1. teach software freedom alongside it | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | 2. teach using tools that people can use to help us keep software free | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | the fsf cant do this-- i defy them to try– | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | however, i firmly believe that this is a task that will benefit free software-- and it will probably take more than one organisation to make it possible. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | it took me a year to develop my language, and less time to teach someone how to adapt it to their own (and have their own version.) | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | i would not expect those results in general, even if i were in charge. but i think if free software wants to survive without rms, this is how to make it thrive. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | the original goal for free software was to make ALL software free. i think thats a good goal. we should make it easier to turn your favourite distro into a free distro. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | im never going to convince rms of that. i ran it by him, i knew what he was going to say. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | it would actually uproot most of what the fsf promotes to undertake this. not the core of what the fsf promotes, but certainly the userspace. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | but, there are several distros that would like to have a libre version of their distro-- and since i went from ubuntu to trisquel, i think having the opportunity to switch to a libre version of it is a great opportunity. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | the fsf wouldnt make that available to users of every distro, but i think the rest of us could make that an option. ultimately for hundreds of distros, at least. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | but we need more coders. i think kemeny and kurtz had the right idea, even if logo gave us better examples (the mit media lab has certainly run with logo-inspired languages year after year.) | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | i dont think blocks/drag-and-drop are the answer. certainly a language that could have such an interface optionally, yes-- but not one tied to such an interface. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | my own language, fig, is a prototype that could easily have a drag-and-drop interface for “coding” in it. it doesnt have one. | Jul 21 07:51 |
| schestowitz | i dont expect fig to be the answer here, i would sooner expect fig to inspire someone to create the answer-- but im happy to provide assistance or guidance in its design and development. | Jul 21 07:51 |

| schestowitz | at libreplanet a friend of my who was interning at the fsf at the time told me about how he installed libreboot on tens of computers for classes in which kids were taught to “code” with musicblocks. it’s got all it takes to start formulating algorithms, but it’s phrased in musical terms, which makes it a lot more friendly and appealing. it’s all there: conditionals, loops, even variables… quite a way to get started… | Jul 21 07:52 |

| schestowitz | sorry for seeming to move the bar on this-- i would expect a number of defenses against this argument (and im happy to backpedal a bit on it as well) but i maintain that it doesnt do it enough. there is no mission to teach everyone to code. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | other than resources, im not saying the fsf should have that mission-- i would say however “why not?” if that answer is they should leave that to someone else-- my answer is “alright, thats ok-- who?” | Jul 21 07:52 |

| schestowitz | ive never heard of this, thats the problem. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | my hard critiques of the fsf are not related to this. this is somewhere between “we need this” and “theres not enough of this” and “wouldnt it be nice?” | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | i think we need more of this. thats just a comment, its not intended to be so critical per se. id like the fsf to consider it, but if it cant do this then i think we need a foundation that promotes this more often. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | either way, insomuch as it does this-- great! i have plenty of ideas on how to do more of it. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | most of my ideas involve volunteers and experimentation, grassroots work more than throwing non-profit money at stuff. im more inspired by things like “swarmwise” and online activism (it often fails, but when it works it is spectacular-- too many ways to deplatform people will shut it down) than the non-profit sector. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | in many ways i suppose this is an idea for a movement that is peripheral to free software. i hope they will consider doing more of it anyway. | Jul 21 07:52 |

| schestowitz | consider, just for the sake of argument-- that the fsf already promotes replicant, and… there could at some point be a bigger, better idea that at first blush, causes someone to say “but what about replicant?” and of course replicant is great but its not necessarily the same thing-- or enough. | Jul 21 07:52 |

| schestowitz | I’m a skeptic. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | (1)Wouldn’t we need to work at the level of sourcecode for an automated “remastering” of free distributions by users? Even configuration files (names and contents) would have to be “remastered”. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | (2)Also, the suggestion for a “universal distro” to help make this remastering process more practical is probably not practical. A number of distributions are significantly different in some deep-seated ways from the Debian/Arch/Suse/RedHat mainstream, such as GuixSD, NixOS, Slackware, Whonix, Tails… I don’t think a single piece of software can be expected to handle a large range of distribution types. Maybe if this work focused on | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | Debian-based distros and worked upon the source code to produce a customized Devuan-like or AntiX-like output? | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | (3) I’m afraid that any such effort to put out a magical remastering machine would quickly get a bad reputation if only a few people were able to claim that it messed things up for them. | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | The one good idea we have had so far :-) was to develop criteria to “rank” distributions with a freedom-score, and re-rank them periodically to be published on a web site in a manner somewhat similar to Distrowatch. Such a site could also provide a stepping stone to free software and free software ideals in general. | Jul 21 07:52 |

| schestowitz | Wouldn’t we need to work at the level of sourcecode for an automated “remastering” of free distributions by users? | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | no-- in fact, this would shine a light on how many packages do not retain the source. ive talked about this for two years (and written inadequate but nontheless actual working prototypes, in my own programming language-- with lots of calls to os.system of course) but this would make it possible to automate things like: | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | creating a file with links to sources | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | creating a dvd with sources like debian has | Jul 21 07:52 |
| schestowitz | i dont mean this as an insult or ad hom, though i suspect you are not too familiar with the world of remasters. kosher, gpl-respecting remasters are too rare, but possible. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | Even configuration files (names and contents) would have to be “remastered”. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | yes, ive already done that before. in fact this is one of the nice things about the idea. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | (2)Also, the suggestion for a “universal distro” to help make this remastering process more practical is probably not practical. A number of distributions are significantly different in some deep-seated ways from the Debian/Arch/Suse/RedHat mainstream, such as GuixSD, NixOS, Slackware, Whonix, Tails… I don’t think a single piece of software can be expected to handle a large range of distribution types. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | i recommend a plugin-type infrastructure for that. something very simple. no plugin, no support. i dont mean its on the distro to create its own plugin, but its certainly up to someone to do it. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | Maybe if this work focused on Debian-based distros and worked upon the source code to produce a customized Devuan-like or AntiX-like output? | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | i do recommend starting with debian-based distros, for three reasons: | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | it is the attack on the debian family that hit the hardest-- i was an early adopter of devuan, i did most of the development (timewise) for my favourite programming language on a devuan machine, and this could help (in its own way) keep devuan (and debian) viable. the first distros i remixed were puppy and refracta-- both debian-based. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | debian is one of the friendlier distro families-- and other friendly and educational distros are generally based on the debian family. this makes it a good choice for “all users.” (though not the only choice.) the most popular modern version of puppy linux is even debian-based. (or based on a debian derivative.) | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | losing debian would significant hurt the fsfs fully free software list. the most promising options on that list today in terms of freedom, are guix and hyperbola-- two distros i promote regularly and sing the praises of as revolutionary, but not as friendly or stable yet as something like trisquel. and i suspect trisquel to wane in usefulness. hyperbolas approach to arch might actually save trisquel (only if someone takes the inspiration from | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | it.) | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | (3) I’m afraid that any such effort to put out a magical remastering machine | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | thats insulting. i first started playing with code in the 1980s, none of this is a magical remastering machine, im very serious about this concept and im not an elite coder capable of remastering 300 distributions single-handedly, though i have spent a year or more talking about how a relatively small team of people could increase the stability of several distros at once. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | please dont lean on strawman and insulting my intelligence, im sure its not intentional. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | would quickly get a bad reputation if only a few people were able to claim that it messed things up for them. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | im not too concerned about that. thats a concern you could make about free software at any stage of its history. a few years ago i put debian (dual boot) on an amd laptop-- it screwed with the video, it was flickering, my friend was not impressed. it wasnt the reason that i decided to go from convincing people to dual boot to getting machines and installing just debian on them and giving them away-- but any software installation can cause | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | problems-- any. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | its an argument against all distros, if its an argument at all. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | The one good idea we have had so far :-) was to develop criteria to “rank” distributions with a freedom-score, and re-rank them periodically to be published on a web site in a manner somewhat similar to Distrowatch. Such a site could also provide a stepping stone to free software and free software ideals in general. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | im sorry you dont agree this is a good one, as ive spent quite some time formulating and defending it and your summary is “im not sure” and some what-ifs that might apply to just about anything. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | my feeling about you is that your scepticism is at times more flexible and open-minded than stallmans, and other times (oftentimes) it is harsher. im glad i dont have to convince you personally, but naturally i wish i could. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | theres a place for that sort of scepticism in free software, but i hate when scepticism is too dismissive of evidence, and rushes to a conclusion based on speculation. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | but theres a place for that even-- after all, without initial speculation there would be no investment in reaching a less biased conclusion. scientists for example, do jump to hasty conclusions all the time-- its a very useful skill. what makes it science is when they go back and check. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | it doesnt even have to be the same person that does the checking. sometimes, it can be several people checking and one person saying “what about…? what about…?” | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | i suspect what triggers your scepticism is your imagination of what the thing promises. however, what im actually talking about is not all that different from the direction i see distros going in already. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | what im really doing is pointing out some of those directions, and talking about what we might be able to do with them. since youre not familiar with my prototypes or their output, or the details of the idea, i hope your scepticism doesnt repeatedly jump too far ahead and miss the point. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | after all, im not asking you to do the work, just consider the idea. i am biased in that regard, of course-- i hope youll take some care in doing it (consideration) and not be so hasty that your evaluation is the equivalent of a kangaroo trial. if it is, you can consider this an appeal. | Jul 21 07:53 |

| schestowitz | Well, I said “magical remastering machine” because that is the way people would see it. And if it breaks their stuff - well “poof!”. | Jul 21 07:53 |
| schestowitz | this is naturally limited by the number of people who find value in downloading an operating system and changing it before even loading it for the first time-- though hopefully it would increase the number of people willing to try it. | Jul 21 07:54 |
| schestowitz | this is not going to make a distro developer out of every person, its at best going to make it easier for people to modify their bootable isos in significant ways. (not just change the wallpaper.) | Jul 21 07:54 |

| schestowitz | tying this in with Debians “reproducible builds” results in a very strong chain of trust, | Jul 21 07:54 |
| schestowitz | yes, and debians build process would help this sort of idea considerably. especially when their team figure out why running isohybrid doesnt always produce an iso with the same hash. | Jul 21 07:54 |
| schestowitz | isohybrid is the tool that makes it so that the same iso can be written to a dvd or usb, with the former requiring only something like wodim, and the latter requiring only dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdx | Jul 21 07:54 |

| schestowitz | it differs from distro to distro, but the basic concept is a program that mounts and copies the contents of an iso, changes the files, and creates a second bootable iso-- typically (but not necessarily) with the majority of the new files matching the old ones. | Jul 21 07:54 |

| schestowitz | most remasters are created manually. for example, there are several tools in puppy linux for remastering. refracta-tools let you remaster distros by making changes to a system and then taking a snapshot of it while running: https://refracta.org | Jul 21 07:54 |

| schestowitz | however, manual remasters rely entirely on the remastering team. | Jul 21 07:54 |
| schestowitz | automated remasters can 1. repeat the same modifications anywhere the remaster program is run-- 2. be used as a place to pick up if the remaster team all suddenly retires. | Jul 21 07:54 |

| schestowitz | torvalds because torvalds demands the 4 freedoms at least for himself (regarding the kernel, not software in general.) its no mistake that he chose gpl for linux over a permissive license. he wants people to contribute what they add to it. he cares if the kernel is "open" but not if the user is free, and thats how it was for the past 25 years. | Jul 21 08:07 |

| schestowitz | IBM always looked after its customers and they were big, very big, customers. That got transferred down to the smaller customers. Microsoft started off the opposite way. Its customers were the mass. It’s better to look at who are IBM customers, rather than how many. Whereas with Microsoft one looks at how many customers, instead of who the customers are. | Jul 21 08:33 |
| schestowitz | Remember that it was IBM tha gave Microsoft its most important step on the ladder, when MS was officially recommended by IBM. That recommendation was so important to corporate customers. | Jul 21 08:33 |
| schestowitz | The saying in the '70s and ‘80s was "You can’t get fired for buying IBM’. IBM would back you up in difficulty. Yes, it was a brave step to move away from IBM. Which is how IBM wanted it. A comfortable lock-in, if you’re a corporation. Hence we were able to get the microfiches of the OS, together with an assembler - LOL - that means it was sort-of open source before the term had been invented - OEMs at that time fighting for open | Jul 21 08:33 |

| schestowitz | Back in the early eighties. The beginning of the Regan and Thatcher era when they were selling all state assets and cutting benefits. I was in the union. My union leader invited me to a conference and gave me a copy of the agenda. On the agenda was women’s rights, Immigrant and refugee rights and so on. But nothing about the ordinary worker. I said what about the ordinary worker and he said “Oh they can take care of themselves”. | Jul 21 08:35 |

| schestowitz | It says 20 years on since Princess Diana's death. Bit weird that, I thought and checked the date of the publication of this issue of Stern: 2017(!). Just for avoidance of doubt, this clearly is not current. | Jul 21 14:10 |

| schestowitz | I got some earlier feedback: | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | ===== | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | I haven't looked in detail, but in regards to layout it is 100% possible | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | to avoid any and all javascript and use only pure CSS. If it is a | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | matter of 'bling' quite a bit can be done with CSS3: There are accordian | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | menus, pull down menus, and many other things possible with just CSS. | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | However, my main concern is the reflow of the columns on smaller, more | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | narrow screens. The tarball's v3 at least does not address that, at | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | least not once it has been sanitized and the scripts removed. | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | Here's an example of one site that does 1, 2, or 3 columns depending on | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | the browser's width: https://www.deccanchronicle.com/ | Jul 26 18:53 |
| schestowitz | Techrights needs to be able to reflow like that. | Jul 26 18:53 |

| schestowitz | To be honest, if I wanted to make these post show up folded, I can already do that easily in WordPress. When I did this in Drupal/TM people complained (that they have to click to see more, e.g. Android leftovers), so now I never do any folding. TBH, all people should just use RSS readers and ignore html completely (as I do). The site shows full RSS. I changed it to that about 10 years ago because readers asked. | Jul 26 18:55 |

| schestowitz | it was never about freedom with him, and it still isnt. he makes these little remarks (which bear great similarity to those of microsoft and zemlin) as tributes to the corporations that have stolen the free software movement and sold it off. even simon phipps spoke more about freedom than torvalds.
