@eff ayup. It's not a question of "do you trust the government?" but a question of "do you trust all possible future governments?". If not, it doesn't matter what decent people are *collecting* the data now.

the thing about blockchains is that they don't work *at all* in an off-grid scenario. i don't think there's anything to gain from excluding blockchain solutions from tracker, but they won't be in core because we want to have robust support for off-grid scenarios.

"With Category Theory, Mathematics Escapes From Equality"
"Two monumental works have led many mathematicians to avoid the equal sign. Their goal: Rebuild the foundations of the discipline upon the looser relationship of “equivalence.” The process has not always gone smoothly."

One could say that there is no link between #freedom pursuit and #wealth, and according to liberals and their #propaganda / #marketing / theoretical framework there isn't any.
But statistically, groups that collect wealth just pretend to fight for freedom.
After all wealth is a form of #power and power restricts others' freedom.
So ultimately rich philantrophism is just a marketing investment. Or a form of corruption. Or, most of times, both.
#Mozilla's wealth come from #US companies that work in the opposite direction of what they pretend to do. So they align with their interests.
We shouldn't forget what #OpenSource is: a marketing tool.
They want to be confused with the #FreeSoftware built from the #hackers they marginalize, but they have nothing to do with us.

For a no profit organization it's pretty wealthy thanks to its commercial patners: from #Google to #CloudFlare, I don't think we can qualify #Mozilla products as #free.
I think there is an inherent flaw here.
We need secure and programmable distributed operating systems as the #Web surrogate is insecurable and highly inefficient.
But no system can be secured if it mix data trasfer and code distribution.
Even just data transfer alone can produce weird machines. But any protocol or format that mix programs and contents is dumb and dangerous. People should always be aware of the difference between programs they WANT to RUN and informations they want to LEARN.
Even if code IS data and data IS code, their usage as code or as data should always be a conscious decision of all the human that it affect.

Do you prefer to be added to the organization or to get the t-shirt we must pretend that you are external?
This is a great task. 😉
There are several tools there and most should be rather easy to port. A couple of them might actually be a bit more tricky since they manipulate binaries. But actually we just need to replicate what the go implementation is doing.
Ok I created the new mailing list at jehanne@freelists.org and they should activate the list within 24 hours afaik.
I think people don't need the right solution (since nothing is right in every context) but they shouldn't have to accept the worse one.
My take is that we should follow a different paradigm: http://jehanne.io/2018/11/15/simplicity-awakes.html
Ehm... I forgot it exists! :-)
Yes, I copied Harvey tools when I started in 2015... sorry. Time to throw it away and move to freelist.
I'll do this tonight.
Uhm... as for craziness I think nobody can beat #Jehanne...
I guess @alcinnz is working on exactly that.

Free software doesn't have to mean a design free-for-all.
HTML is fragmented and has market share because Worse Is Better, and it has been very productive. But we are not talking about what's more productive.
We are talking about what's conceptually clean, usable and programmable for the casual end user, grokkable. HTML is not it.
With what we have learned from over two decades of web, we are armed with the knowledge to create a Better Is Better alternative.

This is plain wrong.
I was a Web developer while it was happening and it was clear something was going terribly wrong with #HTML5 and #WHATWG.
The degradation of the #Web from an #HyperText system to a badly broken application distribution platform and runtime has been a deliberate military decision from the #US.
