    @h Right, so this is what I'm thinking. Given the last 10-15 years of trying to get FOSS into schools, hospitals and other civic infrastructure, and mostly failing at that, is there any better approach which could be taken.

    @h There was also a good point that local governments prefer proprietary software because that gives them more control by only needing to deal with one or two companies, whereas they can have little influence on FOSS development. So even if the proprietary system is significantly more expensive and complicated to run it may still be favored.

    The point about the big companies simply being able to buy influence in places where civic infrastructure was previously being run on FOSS is a fair observation from the last ten or so years. Since their business model is spying plus free as in beer SaaS, rather than selling software or software maintenance, then the local FOSS systems have a hard time resisting that.

    These IGF things always seem to have more panelists than audience, but an excellent introduction from Mishi Choudhary.

    My emacs policy is kinda kamikaze. If I was sensible then I'd peg everything to commits and have a known good configuration.

    But no.

    Instead I just go straight for the head of everything, to be on the cutting edge of overcomplicated keybindings. This means I end up fixing breakage whenever a new install happens (which admittedly isn't often).

    Anyway, to point out some of the #plan9 philosophy here, and perhaps see its subversion in context: https://youtu.be/XvDZLjaCJuw?t=3m17s Here we see K&R, Lorinda Cherry, et al, talking about the principles of simplicity, community and composability at the heart of UNIX™

    remember, in a society where emotional distance not caring are considered to be "cool"
    Caring about people, being kind, doing whatever you can to help (even if it's tiny) is punk as hell
