with HURD:
- every program can present its API as a filesystem
- you even get automount points, where a "filesystem translator" gets automatically started once you try to access its mountpoint
- you can easily implement per-process namespaces
- as well as all other kinds of namespaces
- without being a privileged user
- without refactoring an existing kernel and adding CVEs (looking at you, Linux)
PS: c'era anche un tizio finito lì a sponsorizzare la sua triste #blockchain. Ma mi sono trattenuto e non gli ho detto nulla...
Per chi fosse interessato, qui trovate una bella chiacchierata sull'uso di #SoftwareLibero nella #PA e sulla #Sovranità #Digitale che ho avuto con il direttore del #GARR, la Senatrice #Mantovani e diverse altre persone competenti.
Purtroppo è stata diffusa via #YouTube, per cui usate #TorBrowser: https://youtu.be/OCn51sTglhA
Destruction is not the most probable outcome. Slavery is.
They are building a world of slaves that pretend to be free. Slaves unaware of their own oppression, so that they can support it instead of fighting.
In the long run this will produce an evolutive pressure that will split humanity in two species: a dominant one and a remissive one.

Garante #privacy per la #scuola auspica «che l'Italia si doti di una sua infrastruttura [con] cooperazione europea [invece di] piattaforme cinesi e americane di cui non sappiamo assolutamente niente».
#SoftwareLibero già garantisce collaborazione in #UE.

For anyone that uses android, DON'T USE THE PLAYSTORE! Use F-droid.
"F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform"
Don't know how? Follow this tutorial.

"Google drops Blogspot India domain breaking hundreds of thousands of links"
What a mess!
Lessons:
1. Move away from Blogspot. It's not getting any love
2. Own your domain name even if you post on someone else's platform (so you can switch if necessary)

Quantum Hardening Cryptographic Protocols: https://invidio.us/watch?v=Bjal5aE33iY
And before anyone asks: yes, quantum computers exist. It's an open question whether we can build one powerful to be a threat, but regardless it's better to be safe & design crypto they can't break.

https://www.nospec.com this is from a designer/artist perspective, but the literal same thing applies to hackathons, and you should refuse to have anything to do with them if possible.

‘It’s just a pigeon,’ said the girl. ‘Let it die.’
The boy lifted it with gentle hands. It was too weak to struggle. He could feel its heartbeat against his fingertips. ‘It just needs help, that’s all.’
He nursed it day and night. Warmed it by a lamp, cleaned its wounds. Fed it from his hand. Every day it grew stronger. And larger.
After a week, it was the size of a cat. A month, a dog. It gazed at him with adoring eyes. And one day, it would carry him into the sky.

Uhm... sounds familiar...
You are ignoring time into your reasoning.
If you code for a small élite (which is totally fine, even if such élite has a cardinality of one), the probability that what you build is going to attract economical and political interest is actually low.
In such case, public domain is as good as copyleft, since you only care about the few people you are coding for and, if a venture capital turn your tool into an oppressive proprietary spyware for everybody else, your small élite can still use the public domain software you coded.
BUT, if you are hoping to free more than a couple of persons, if you aim for a wider reach, releasing code in the public domain is exactly working for free for those you want to beat.
You are taking the risks.
You are doing the hard part of Research and Development.
And what's worse, you are building a new well defined market for them to enter.
If you build something that, even for a small period of time, have a chance to succeed, by releasing as public domain you are just doing your enemies a favour.
Now, as a workaround, #copyleft is NOT perfect. In particular, #GNU licenses have too many loop holes.
BUT, if you don't protect your work so that its evolutions will stay in the #commons, you are renouncing to any hope for your principles to spread.
A #community is defined by the rules that protect what the members held in #common from their own individual egoisms.
So if you look at things into an historical perspective, you should see that putting work into the public domain is always to support oppressors in the long run.
While I'm happy to look something more effective than GNU licenses, a a strong Copyleft can slow down a bit the Embrace, Extend and Extinguish strategy that is the immune system of #Capitalism.
