رضا :freeswfa: RezaWhen we say <a href="https://mas.to/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a>, we usually think about <a href="https://mas.to/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> softwares like :vim: or general softwares like :gnome:. But, I see it necessary to thank the people who spend their valuable time to create expert free softwares to save people to use <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a> for their specialties. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freecad</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/librecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librecad</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/inkscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inkscape</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/krita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krita</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kicad</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/solvespace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solvespace</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/openfoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openfoam</a>

armchairFossarian<a href="https://mstdn.party/@argv_minus_one" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@argv_minus_one</a> Seems consistent. Banks are antithetical to user freedom. Consumer transactions are nannied by banks who (e.g.) push blockades like blocking all Wikileaks donations. Banking apps (both phone and web) are all <a href="https://blobfox.coffee/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a>. Cryptocurrency accommodates <a href="https://blobfox.coffee/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a>, unlike any bank in the world.

Dick Smiths Fair Go Supporters<a href="https://mastodon.online/@jawarajabbi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jawarajabbi</a> That's where one is showing signs of not having done the research, bitcoin (and monero) are hosted all over the world by people who use it, tens of thousands have a copy of the ledger, in the form of a blockchain. It is <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/uncensorable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uncensorable</a> but *does* have certain risks if one's device has malware (<a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/nonFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonFreeSoftware</a>).It helped <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/Wikileaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikileaks</a> when <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/Paypal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paypal</a> and <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/Visa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Visa</a> (now <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/CloudGlare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CloudGlare</a>) dropped them, for revealing <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/warCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warCrimes</a> by the US.Bitcoin does require <a href="https://campaign.openworlds.info/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computers</a>/people be better, though. 😑

expat<a href="https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@EU_Commission</a> Meh… it’s a good start but with <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphones</a> it misses the problem: proprietary <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a>. Perfectly good hardware is still being destroyed with this _recommendation_. Why not recommend a <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/rightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rightToRepair</a> solution that blocks the sale of phones running non-free software so that consumers can use their phones for as long as the hardware lasts?

bojkotiMalbona<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kev</a> I’ve detected a bit of intellectual dishonesty here. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fosstodon</a> used the standard default <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cloudflare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cloudflare</a> configs as early as March & for months thereafter, certainly at least as late as May 29th confirmed by someone’s complaint specifically about the block screen.The timeline shows complaints about CF are littered around before & after that point. If you expand some of the threads in that timeline, it’s clear the default CF configs persisted despite Fosstodon staff being told that the default configs were resulting in users being forced to run non-free software & that the configs needed to change. That change never happened because I know I saw the block screen whenever I tried to directly visit fosstodon.Fosstodon finally made a recent move from CF proxy to CF NS. I am not checking every day to see what fosstodon does next.Under the current config, you can spontaneously switch on the CF reverse proxy at any moment with immediate effect without even telling users all their traffic will be seen by Cloudflare (including passwords). It’s in fact the only way that the reverse proxy can work. If you don’t use the MitM certs, CF cannot process the requests for you during an attack.So the compromise is still in place. The only difference is that now it’s spontaneous instead of continuously ongoing. And most likely you’ve probably not fixed the CF configs, so when you flip that switch users will get a captcha that pushes <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a>. The goal should be to get off CF entirely including nameservers.

censored for “transphobia”Round 2: <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poll</a> to name ppl refusing <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/nonFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonFreeSoftware</a>. Vote for a word that best suits this criteria:→ What would you want to be called? → What word would CNN journalists use? → What’s reasonable for folk & reggae lyrics?Guidelines:- 1 box if a word is clearly best - 3 boxes against a word that is clearly the worst - 2 boxes for ties - chk comments for better words & reply +1fossarian¹ → <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> —arian libresarian → Libre Software—arian fossist → FOSS—ist libreswist → Libre SoftWare—ist

censored for “transphobia”Suppose you refuse to run <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/nonFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonFreeSoftware</a>. What would you want to be called?* “Fossarian” → <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> —arian… described here: <a href="https://thefreeworld.noblogs.org/post/2023/04/15/what-do-you-call-people-who-reject-non-free-software/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thefreeworld.noblogs.org/post/2023/04/15/what-do-you-call-people-who-reject-non-free-software/</a>* “swefarian” → SoftWare Emancipation/Freedom —arian* “paoswarian” → People Against Oppressive SoftWare —arian* “libreswarian” → Libre SoftWare —arian* “write-in” votes are strongly encouraged→ invent a word & put it in a comment.Plz read the thread b/c you might want to vote on someone else’s nomenclature (reply to them with “+1”).<a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poll</a>

censored for “transphobia”<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@Wuzzy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Wuzzy</a> Governments are now pushing <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a>. This is more of a tyranny than what we see in the private sector b/c you cannot boycott the government. Tax finances gov agencies who then impose nonfree s/w & you are excluded from services you’re entitled to b/c of your lifestyle choice. We need to drive the point that those govs are discriminating against fossarian people.

censored for “transphobia”<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@Wuzzy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Wuzzy</a> I must say when I tried to visit your post in a GUI browser, Fosstodon tried to force me to run <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/nonfreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfreesoftware</a> by pushing a nonfree JavaScript CAPTCHA. I assume you’re unaware of that because it’s a glaring <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/hypocrisy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypocrisy</a> on the part of the <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fosstodon</a> admin. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. Though I’m struggling to envision improvements on the essay from that feedback.
