I don't know. When I went to the vest last time I noticed a weird spot in his eye and she said that it was because he did not close his eyes often enough due to his nystagmus.
I'm gonna take render-vous with her again for another checkup after finishing these computers and getting paid for it.

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:main:rusts_freedom_flaws
As free software activists, we all enjoy using the latest and greatest in free software, but we need to make sure that the software we are using really does respect our freedom. Many users have expressed to us their desire to run Rust, since it appears to be fully free software, but it still fails in several ways.
Rust and also Cargo (the Rust package manager) violate the freedom to redistribute without “explicit” approval. Their trademark license imposes requirements for the distribution of modified versions that make it inconvenient to exercise freedom 3. The Rust's Media Guide says it merely supplements the official Mozilla trademark policy; it doesn't replace it. Since their trademark policy applies, then everything in that list (including Rust and Cargo) pulls in the same issue as Firefox and Thunderbird.
In short, Mozilla won't be happy with us applying patches and modifications to their trademarked language without “explicit approval”, except for non-commercial usage, so it is a freedom issue.

I sure do like the openness of fedi since mastodon is here.

Both.

>People are not suffering under the oppression of closed source software
What are you smocking ?
>Software is a tool
Agreed. It's a workforce multiplier and the better designed the greater the multipliers.
>It helps the average person be productive.
>productive
People are already productive. Computers just multiply their productivity based on multiple factors, design of the software is one for example, mastery of the usage of the software is another one.
>Is a plumber oppressed because he does not own the original die+cast for his pipe wrench?
You are comparing two things that are essentially the same, aka tools, but the digitization creates other rules that cannot exist physically.
I will try to be concrete and simple.
About: owning "original die+cast for his pipe wrench"
This is slightly different than software, even if it part of a tool chain to create physical objects/tool.
The thing is that a die/cast is simpler to reverse engineer and demands a lot less matériel and knowledge than reverse engineer lets say a GPU.
The pipe wrench can be duplicated by any one who has basic knowledge of measurements, heat treatment and sand boxing.
Of course this isn't done often because the time/cost needed to duplicate surpasses what would cost someone to just buy a new pipe wrench thanks to industrialization.
About: digitization
I'll compare two tools for this example, one physical one digital.
Hammer:
Owned by one person.
Can be duplicated/copied*0
Can be modified.
Can be shared*1
Can be used for legal and non legal purposes*2
0: Duplication demands as much resources as the initial one. Some designs can require patent ownership but individual People can't be traced back via snooping and stopped.
1: When shared the owner can't use it until returned.
People can't be traced back via snooping and stopped.
2: Non legal actions can't be stopped by magic/drm.
People can't be traced back via snooping and stopped.
Software:
Owned by the owner of the copyright*0
Can be copied*1
Can be modified*2
Can be shared*3
Can be used for legal and non legal purposes*4
0: If not explicitly cited your are not allowed to use the Intellectual Property in any way like cited in the BERN convention.
1: A copy does not cost a fraction of the initial time it took to program the software.A copy is virtually almost cost-less.
DRM can stop you from making a copy.
Programing from scratch a clone often demands a lot of human resources and knowledge.
2: Modification requires access to the source code and tool chain, it is by itself a for of DRM over your tool.
3: Shared copies can be made legally and non legally, the person who copied can still use his own copy.
Copyright infringement security can also snoop on the user to detect infringement of copyright and/or sabotage the users computer.
4: The owner of the copyright (companies) are held by law to force users to abide by the law, non legal usage is prohibited.
Conclusion: software has a much simpler way of restricting people in an unnatural ways.
>And to quickly create trillions of dollars in the economy worldwide
Correct, a number, so big that nobody can't really evaluate how much that is. And that money stagnates into some megacorps like amazon, google and the likes. The fountain effect cannot work this current state.
>as well as improve the quality of life
We don't share similar worldview. I consider that people are very alienated from technically reality, partly because of how technology treats them.
Have you ever seen the work of Louis Rossmans ?
Have you ever seen how some software are designed to perversely use psychological human flaws to alienate people into dependence into their software ?
Have you ever worked 14 days to repair a laptop, and be paid 80 bucks, because the manufacturers asus, AMI and intel, added DRM in it ?
>safety, and opportunities for billions of people
MINIX3 is the most used kernel of the world and it is incorporated into a hardware backdoor. I don't call this safe.

>the transition
The allocation of resources and services from the GSA was approved by the GSA itself, like all precedent candidates that weren't confirmed yet (even Al Gore)
>was officially approved
Officially allocating resources and services. The GSA does not pick or certify the winner of a presidential election.

>that no one except the author(s) is allowed to use it at all.
I'm aware. The BERN convention specifies that per default all IPs are owned by the creator until sold. Or until the creator authorize a few exceptions of usage of his IP.

So you give me the money, then the puppy then I run away with the puppy.

>I want most of the things I make to be used by companies. That is a good thing.BSD code makes standards
What value to give to a standard if in the end of majority of the software used for it oppresses the people using it ?
These same companies could have done the same thing with GPL licensed software, but they didn't because these entities have little to no moral.
>BSD helped the internet innovate quickly
And to quickly abuse the user.
