What do you mean “the same city”? What does this statement say about the quality of the chip? I get when you say " the same factory" or “the same company” but “the same city” says nothing. Isnt lots of different tech produced in a few chinese cities?
I do hope Taler wins, its such an interesting architecture. Its also a GNU project.
The ideas we explore in concrete work should be informed by what open source licensing proponents seek to restrict (the individual freedom to refuse), the tools they employ (software licensing), the language they attempt to monopolize (“Free as in Freedom”), and what the established systems and cultural norms do in practice
The article doesnt use the wording “Free Software Movement” it uses “open source licensing proponents” which includes the Free Software Movement.
As for the genocide per default part: Its nonsense to believe that if open source didnt exist or was different that it would somehow lead to less genocide.
“We know that there is a clear relationship between corporations which expend focused energy explicitly and implicitly promoting the use of Open Source Initiative-approved licenses to independent developers, and the genocide being committed in Palestine.”
“The Freedom to refuse”
This article is bonkers. It manages to twist the Free Software Movement, that I would argue is intrinsically radically anti-capitalist, to be somehow pro capitalist, because free labour. Completely ignoring the whole mutual benefit and means of production held in common part of the deal. It tries to paint restricions of who is allowed to use the software (breaking F(L)OSS definitions) as a “Freedom”, the freedom to “refuse”. Actual use of Orwellian phrasing there. And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.
“Europes warmongering stance” This article regurgitates russian propaganda.
something something polititians funeral pyre…
No they dont, not with the current american administration.
Theres a “do not disturb at night” option on all modern phones nowadays for people who dont want to become unreachable
I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.
