I think, that GPLv3 is a license for which there came historical necessity.
Some people do not want their code to be used to lock devices. These people need a corresponding license.
And, I think that there is a historical necessity for the license, which does not allow to use the software by/for dictatorships/authoritarian regimes.
Because there might be someone who do not want let’s say his software to be used in order to prepare lists of political prisoners. I would not want to help even a soft regime.
The question which comes, then, who/how to decide which regime is authoritarian, which is dictatorship. Should the license contain direct pointers to the number of countries, or to refer to other organization’s assessments.

It is often said that the government is not able to use money/resources efficiently. As efficient as private entrepreneurs can. Well, I agree.
However recently I’ve seen a couple of proprietary software projects, which were closed by the authors. You cannot download the mobile application. There is no website. It’s over.
And I have thought about community projects, collaborative projects. It looks like sometimes community projects can be even more efficient, because(if) they have no(limited) means to earn money. They decrease expenses as much as possible, and design software accordingly. And they can be more sustainable, though they have no income. Of course it depends on the community size. Number of speakers of the technology. (:
An example? Consider failed social network start-up. Now consider Diaspora. Social network start-up had to pay a lot for servers and infrastructure. Keep a space, and developers. Diaspora is hosted in different places, even on cheap one board computers. That’s about design and efficiency. Of course it has problems, and the development is not that fast as desirable. But the project is very efficient in some aspects.

We all have seen those tables, which explain which free software can be a replacement for proprietary software.
When I was installing GNU/Linux to my friends, I was trying not to tell them - “this is replacement of that”, but show them some features that they did not even know about, something that exists only in GNU/Linux world.
I think, it’s not a very good sign, when we have many free software projects that tend to implement the same product as proprietary project.
In that case, it means that innovation first happens in proprietary world, then we try to copy and implement it, to not fall far behind. And very often our implementations are not good enough.
We need more “authentic” free projects, and let the proprietary software try to copy/implement it. In that case they will fall behind.
I think it’s not a coincidence that innovative ideas happen in proprietary thinking brains. This is because they think “what new thing can we do in order to earn?”. And we are too busy implementing free analogues of that proprietary software, often not good as original.
May be that’s because we are not used to think innovative enough. We ourselves tend to think more in terms of “repeating”, instead of “innovating”.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings. - may be I need to put it under every post I write.

installing a new release of proprietary software became something comparable to ritual for me. it was a whole complicated ceremonial where the mistake could be fatal, and you had to choose carefully, and press these important “next” buttons.
there were no automatic updates for paid software, obviously, and when we’ve got them, like in case of chrome, we realized they’d better not be.

i’ve installed gthumb today in order to search for necessary photos through the recovered files. it turned out, I cannot hide the window by double clicking it’s titlebar. this is unlike any other application window running in my windowmaker. probably that happens because it’s gtk3 application. double click on the something like titlebar makes it fullscreen.
sigh.

i have made a mistake by installing proprietary #flckr application on my #jolla. i use native #jockr however not really satisfied with it (surprise, surprise), and wanted to test official app functionality.
this official app synced all pictures from the phone gallery to flickr. not public, but anyway.
this is very symptomatic behaviour for proprietary software. not even uploading data without asking, (i guess i have a checkbox for that somewhere) but assuming that i am an idiot, and it does a good job for me.

this was back ~10 years ago, at the Microsoft event, where they were basically stating that years of freebie passed, and we have to buy officially licensed Windows copies. As an answer to those, who were whining that Armenia is a poor country, and may it be they can sell licenses cheaper, a guy from M$ answered:
— you buy cars, right? why do you agree to pay for cars, but not for software.
Then there was a voice from auditory.
— can you sell us second hand copies of 15 years old windows installers?

Today I’ve got a warning that there is shortage of space on SD card. Was surprised, started to check. It turned out there is a file in the root, called “stream.wav”, and information is actively being written to it. I’ve listened the content - every event, talks, recording from the microphone for last 2 days. Checked my tablet - the same shit. As I am using CyanogenMod on my tablet, I have found out the reason pretty soon(see screenshot). Spying app is Yandex.Navigator. Now I’ll check logs of my home router, happily I have FreeBSD there, and I log everything, will check where my information went. Block this app or better uninstall it for good!
Yandex commented that it’s a bug.
Yes I believe it’s a bug indeed. We weren’t supposed to know that it spies, and it wasn’t supposed to eat such amount of space probably to remain unnoticed. Yandex will fix the bug and it’ll be harder to notice that it’s apps are spying after people. (:

one of the main technologies that keeps java afloat, and reasons why java is used today, is android. (so oracle needs to review their patent claims and just let people use java)
and if oracle wants java to be a player in internet of things business, they need to wish android success in that niche instead of suing google constantly.

in the wake of this post and comments.
i accept that free software is often far behind it’s proprietary analogues. we, the society must learn to not take it for granted.
we must pay to the creators to support their work. we must hire developers around us to contribute our desired patches. we must set up bounties for necessary features.
thus we will encourage development of free software.
because free doesn’t mean free-ware, it’s not as free beer but as free speech.
software requires investments like tree requires water.

The way they write functional programs for decidedly non-functional problems is through a trick called a monad, which I will not explain and nobody understands anyway, but the point is, in the hands of a very clever programmer, functional programming “can” be used in many more places than you would naively expect.
And that is really the problem. It works at first and then it keeps working until suddenly it doesn’t. And this
communismfunctionalism spreads ideologically until yourcountrycodebase is saddled with debt and nobody can bail you out because you have a lot of monads and nobody can understand them.

So it’s out, it’s commercially produced, it’s available. Not as outstanding as Sailfish for me, it’s more like Android, with the always present bar at the top, but still, it’s a full fledged GNU/Linux operating system.

there’s such a cute technology for android, called privacy guard. it’s developed by cyanogenmod team, and is able to limit application behavior at runtime.
there are similar technologies for gnu/linux, for example this is how to run skype with apparmor.
what’s interesting, is how different apps behave. viber periodically asks to access the camera. skype doesn’t, it’s proprietary, but it tries to behave decently.
what is also interesting, is that we have a proof that viber reads call log, while at the viber site it is stated that viber requests that permission but does not use.

this is an amazing story about writing software at #apple http://www.pacifict.com/Story/
We got resources that would never have been available to us had we been on the payroll. For example, at that time only about two hundred PowerPC chips existed in the world. Most of those at Apple were being used by the hardware design engineers. Only a few dozen coveted PowerPC machines were even available in System Software for people working on the operating system. We had two. Engineers would come to our offices at midnight and practically slip machines under the door. One said, “Officially, this machine doesn’t exist, you didn’t get it from me, and I don’t know you. Make sure it doesn’t leave the building.”
Greg was lurking outside one day, trying to act casual, when another engineer accosted him and said, “I’m sick and tired of you guys loitering in front of the building every day!” Later he phoned the appropriate bureaucrats on our behalf. I listened to his side of the conversation for twenty minutes: “No, there is no PO, because we’re not paying them. No, there is no contract, because they are not contractors. No, they are not employees; we have no intention of hiring them. Yes, they must have building access because they are shipping code on our box. No, we don’t have a PO number. There is no PO, because we’re not paying them.” Finally, he wore them down. They said to use the standard form to apply for badges, but to cross out Contractor and write in Vendor. Where it asked for a PO number, we were to use the magic words “No dollar contract.” We got badges the next day. They were orange Vendor badges, the same kind the people working in the cafeteria, watering the plants, and fixing the photocopy machines had.

There is nothing a mere scientist can say that will stand against the flood of a hundred million dollars. But there is one quality that cannot be purchased in this way — and that is reliability. The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

if I were a leader of a software development company, I would make sure every project has a team which focused not on new features, not on development of the product, but on improving it.
I have an impression companies don’t invest in improvements, as if they cannot afford doing that. But if they were, they would have valuable advantage on the market.

Urbit is a personal cloud computer. Right now, the cloud computers we use run OSes designed for minicomputers in the ’70s. An ordinary user can no more drive a Linux box in the cloud than fly an A320. So she has to sit in coach class as a row in someone else’s database. It’s definitely air travel. It’s not exactly flying.
The user of the future will fly her own computer. She will own and control her own identity and her own data. She will even host her own apps. She will not be part of someone else’s Big Data. She will be her own Little Data. Unless she’s a really severe geek, she will pay some service to store and execute her Urbit ship - but she can move it anywhere else, anytime, for the cost of the bandwidth.
