In the early days, the Free Software community necessarily(?) and grudgingly depended on proprietary software, such as the operating system, the C compiler, the shell, and set out to fix this asap, creating GNU and Linux, working to achieve freedom and autonomy.
It seems that the "Open Source" movement in the late 90s already threw some of that progress away by depending pragmatically on proprietary software and happily buying "technically excellent" hardware that needed non-free firmware.
After some 40 years, now that we finally cut all dependencies to non-free software (and almost! hardware), a surprisingly large part of "our" community runs after yet another "shiny" proprietary service, advocating for the "right" to inject this new dependency and throwing away our autonomy. I'm so puzzled.

You say organizations have been failing us, but in cases where those organizations are democratic, isn't it really our peers who have been failing us? "You were supposed to destroy them, not join them!"?

So, Debian has fallen, thanks to the (infiltration of?) tech bro supporters. Weren't we supposed to be working/fighting against them? What a truly sad day. How did this happen?
The "social contract" has now been compromised IMHO: It allows for contributing to the destruction of life on our planet as we know it, is generally OK with copyright theft and copyleft whitewashing, and will contribute to the slop-to-code ratio on the interwebs. I would never have imagined this. The social contract felt safe...
I've been most exclusively using Debian from 1998-2016 and considered become a -developer a couple of times.

My daughter was advised/encouraged by their teacher to take a Linux (sic) command line course.
She was enjoying it until she unexpectedly hit a paywall at chapter 4 (of 6).
Can you recommend a free as in freedom GNU/Linux command-line course or tutorial?

Oh! I never realized that we only remember (we're only supposed to remember) /Dutch/ casualties.
How interesting that I got this wrong all this time.

No, not rude at all.
In fact, using the speaker phone is less rude to me than talking on the phone in public without speaker.
I see very little difference with talking to my friend in public when they're physically there.
I'm flabbergasted what makes so many of you think there's a difference?

Don't worry, that was not a dream, it was a heavily indoctrinated nightmare.
Any GNU/Linux user will say the same thing: Choose the distribution that your friends use.

Age verification has nothing to do with "using one's own computer", it's about running the software on a [your] computer (for any purpose; freedom 0).
Just to note that these kind of things have been predicted and warned for since 1983: If you don't [choose to] run free software, you don't own your "computer", the "computer" owns you.

I really don't get the whole idea of the cookie popups on websites.
I mean, everyone always chooses for: essential cookies only? I do, anyway.
Some sites even say: "Don't you want a functional site?", to which I always silently reply: "Knowing that everyone disables all optional cookies anyway, don't you want (to build) to have a functional site?"
I don't care all that much if your site is broken, it's your site, your choice.

Ik ben een groot voorstander van het maken van betere keuzes.
Het is voor het individu nagenoeg altijd voordelig om betere keuzes te maken.
Ik snap niet waarom niet iedereen altijd betere keuzes maakt, het levert gewoon zoveel op.

Microsoft stifled innovation, bought their Monopoly from the DOJ and managed to keep computer users dumb and in the dark for thirty years. Google degraded continuously and then dropped their "don't be evil." All well before Trump.
What the hell do you mean?
Is it worse than terribly bad under a fascist regime? Even less rule of law for them, even more opportunities for corruption. Probably somewhat, yeah.
It wouldn't have been so bad though had we all switched to free software, like you've been told to do for 30 years.

Ik mag toch hopen dat een liegende draaitol als Yesilgoz niet gaat over de koers van de VVD en doet wat haar wordt ingefluisterd?

Klacht over #Buitenhof aan ombudsman.
Twan Huys interviewt/modereert in gesprek tussen Jesse Klaver (GL/PvdA) en Henk Vermeer (BBB).
Henk verkondigt meerdere leugens, die Jesse recht moet zetten, zonder dat Twan daar iets over zegt. Of je nu liegt of niet, alles voor de kijkcijfers, right? De waarheid, factchecken, het zal ons wat?
Jesse Klaver laat zien hoe de BBB, vertegenwoordigd door Henk Vermeer, onze rechtstaat en democratie ondermijnt.
Aan het einde van het gesprek vraagt Twan aan beiden of ze het zien zitten om samen in een "middenkabinet" zouden willen zitten. (Nee.) De vraag is ook al vreemd, de BBB is inmiddels opgeschoven naar extreem rechts, hoezo ooit "middenkabinet"? WTF?
Twan rondt het gesprek af met: "..het bevestigt dat, wat ik niet wilde horen, maar wat u gezegd heeft."
Dus, de NPO/Buitenhof had bij monde van Twan Huys veel liever gehad dat GL/PvdA het niet zo nauw zou nemen met onze rechtstaat en democratie, en gewoon gezellig samen met de BBB die af zou gaan breken?
Ik kijk voorlopig geen Buitenhof meer, en ga me beraden over mijn VPRO lidmaatschap.

Ik heb hier toch echt wel een kanttekening bij. Ja, we worden geregeerd door fascisten en toch heb ik er bijzonder veel vertrouwen in dat we binnenkort verkiezingen hebben, wat maakt dat 'regime' wmb misplaatst is.
