Questa infografica si porta dietro una sottintesa maggiore aderenza al FOSS nelle licenze che permettono alle aziende di creare fork privati e non open source. E la propaganda corporate si impegna moltissimo a far passare questo messaggio.
La realtà è però l’esatto opposto, le licenze che più garantiscono i valori FOSS sono quelle che qui vengono rappresentate come meno libere.
I think the post is about this too, honestly. What the post is saying is that “open source is not enough, we need governance” and I really do not agree. What I am saying is that governance and small pockets of freedom will not solve our problems, just give us the illusion that we are good.
What I am saying is that we don’t need small pockets of freedom, but we need to live in total freedom, and technology and software are a big part of that. This society model is destroying everything, from our wellness to the ecosystem, and “small pockets of freedom” won’t solve anything.
Stopping to depend on companies’ profit schemas, for example. We have to work at least 8h/day to afford subscriptions to have access to things we don’t even own. Our devices are designed to be fragile, to force us to buy them periodically. That’s not freedom, that’s a jail (and not a golden one)
Honestly, I don’t want “small pockets of freedom”. We have to stop accepting everything and think it’s okay because we have our small pockets of freedom. People deserve free lives.
This does not imply it is workers’ owned or that it does not have ridiculously high payed managers.
Io avevo provato a tirare su un’istanza PixelFed, il docker compose d’esempio semplicemente non funzionava e ho mandato affanculo tutto. Mi interessava per la fotografia, magari un giorno ci riproverò
Ma serve davvero pubblicare articoletti da due soldi generati da LLM? A che pro? Reddit è di là, su
I don’t think you are wrong or that we disagree, I try to do everything in my power to build pockets of freedom, I also develop FOSS, I own an homelab, used to host services for a solarpunk movement here in Italy too.
But we cannot be satisfied by small pockets of freedom, they are just a way of surviving in a world full of shit. Corporates are extremely happy with this tendency we have of boycotting and building something good only for our bubble, we stopped being a treat for their profit and instead we are enabling more and more their policies: our pockets of freedom somehow make their dystopian policies more acceptable and instead of coordinating to actually change something, we stay in our bubbles.
