What to use if Linux goes bad? — Alternatives to Linux in the future
Alternatives to Linux in the future
Who knows what may happen in the future, perhaps one day the Linux kernel will go bad. So what are the options to consider if such a thing were to occur.
Here in this speech I go trough 3 options.
fragmentation is good:

    Freebsd is the only realistic alternative to linux. It also has the potential to come much closer to linux in terms of features, but there just aren't enough developers that want to work on it. Its license doesn't do it any good either. It would have to change to gplv2 for it ever significantly improve.

    Besides it's not like you have to constantly add new features to a kernel, talking about the Hurd. When it's out it's out. It gets the features it needs and that's what it has, then it's just maintenance from there, on top of bringing in all the drivers and such of course. So the slow speed of the development of Hurd is not important, once it's ready it's ready. it's called being feature complete. Sure over time it could be extended or whatever but that's not inherently necessary

    @thefrankring 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Interesting, I didn't know about Retroshare. I love the fact that it seems to include all kinds of content: messaging, forums, video, calls, etc. on one platform. I think it seems a bit too technical for the average user, and it doesn't seem to support the Fediverse. Currently, I'm switching over to Mastodon, Pixelfed and eventually PeerTube, but those are all different platforms. It's easy to understand that Mastodon is a replacement for Twitter. Mastodon is a big one right now. Has lots of users. Pixelfed is a replacement for Instagram, but still very new and small. PeerTube is a replacement for TH-cam, but even smaller. But the main problem is that these are all different platforms to use. It would be best to have everything in one place. Like Retroshare.

    • @awuuwa
      @awuuwa 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There is indeed no fediverse. I'd say the user interface and such even if deemed ugly or convoluted can be remedied because fundamentally it's just the visuals, they can be changed or the software be forked or anything else. But other than that the technicalities should not be too complicated. Friends exchange their codes to add each other and can go to settings to selected their prefrences. Sure there are lots of advanced technicalities available for the user, but again a simpler interface could be made for those who want it in the future, and those who want the advanced one could choose it. The I2P may bee too difficult to configure for now. But as I have mentioned in another speech about I2P specifically, even those can be potentially made easier for users to interact with, in a hypotethical scenario for now. Since my speech concerns the future of internet technology and it's role in human society, I am talking like in the scale of decades to come. History does not end with us, we are just the start of the internet age. So I would like to see more discussion on the internet regarding it's direction, and this speech is my contribution to that. So I say to start steering the future in the correct direction Retrisgare is one excellent software for that. When it comes to the other alternative social media things you mentioned, of those I would say peertube is also an excellent option for the purpose it is meant for. It is likely better than Retroshare for content distribution and delivery. I have not yet seen enough of them to come to a conclusion for now. Mastodon and Pixelfed and such could still have their place. Of course one does not have to use Retroshare exclusively, there may be some use case for different types of social medias which exist concurrently. But I would say that technologically Retroshare offers even more freedom for the users, because the fediverse thing is just an exchange protocol like email, users still need to choose their provider and communicate trough that, whereas on Retroshare the network fundamentally allows anyone to connect to anyone else trough the other nodes in the network. To achieve a similar functionality to mastodon servers, there could be theoretically ceveral big nodes that everyone can connect to, which would serve as the middle points in the friend-to-friend network, but instead of being a centralized server with it's own rules for the users to follow it's just a node that passes data trough itself. Even if one of those big nodes gets taken down, it doesn't do anything, no one's back catalogue of content is erased or followers lost. Just connect to a new middle node and resume operation as usual, as if nothing happened. So I'd say Retroshare is technologically superior, it is fully cencorship resistant, especially with the use of I2P alongside it. With mastodon you still have to follow the rules of the server you sign up for, and your content and such is still managed by the server, really the only big difference between a mastodon server and any contemporary big platform like twitter, is the fact that anyone can create their own "twitter" instance and they can exchange information like on email. So they are still centralized in that sense, they are indeed in a way decentralized, but only from the point of view that they are interoperable anyone can spir up an instance, but those instances themselves are still centralized. Whereas Retroshare is what would be called a "distributed network" it is truly as decentralized as it gets. I am not necessarily against any those other options, they are certainly better than the big contemporary platforms, but I feel like they are only "half way there" so to speak, so I am not particularly in favour of them either. I'd say they are a useful stepping stone to get users off of those big platforms, so I's ay you made the right choice in joining those platforms, but they are not the *final* solution. I do need to investigate this further, but that's my evaluation of those technologies. A step towards the ideal world as of now would look like if smartphone manufacturers preinstalled Retroshare and if every such device also came with I2P preinstalled and configured, it could be as easy as toggling a button in settings to enable the I2P functionality and start using software with it. How to exactly accomplish this ideal future scenario I have no clue of for now, but as long as the discussion keeps going perhaps at some point someone will.

      so do you mean hybrid kernel, or should there be 2 popular operating systems side by side one microkernel and the other monolithic. The second case would have been likely as the outcome had Linux never been made. GNU's Hurd would take Linux's place and for those who wanted a monolithic kernel operating system, the *BSD systems would still exist. So you could have the microkernel option of GNU with Hurd or the monolithic option of FreeBSD for example. I say that's my altertnative history

    • @awuuwa
      @awuuwa 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hate is a very strong word, but if you take a look at the fact that SystemD keeps infesting more and more of the system, it is also not in spirit of the Unix way of doing things. Advocates of SystemD say Unix is dead, but it's not as much that Unix is dead as it is that there are people who want to kill it. They are simply stating their goal, their ideal. I am also not a fanboy of the Linux kernel or GNU+Linux really, I like all the free Unix-like systems, I prefer the copyleft of GNU+Linux for philosophical reasons, but I am also interested in technology aswell. Fundamentally Unix systems are supposed to be as modular as possible, things should be compatible and interchangeable with other systems and programs. You should be able to take out one software and replace it with another that does the same thing and have no real difference. But it's also about the minimalism, along with the do one thing and do it well it creates a superior OS design. It's somewhat difficult to put to words, it takes some appreciation of the technology to see it. SystemD goes against everything that makes for a good Unix system. It's not very elegant.

    @JasonMitchellofcompsci 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    There is no way the average person cares about desktop environments. I would say the number one practical reason is that when you buy software the company you bought it from now has an incentive to control you to try to get more money out of you, so you end up paying to only get worse software with intentional holes in it, and often those holes very carefully have no work arounds. So when you use unfree software you are paying to have worse software that doesn't work for you, but instead for the company. You are buying anti-features. That your OS expires and it forces you to transfer to a subscription based OS. That's an anti-feature. When a phone prevents you from adding additional people to a conversation if even one person in the conversation is on the wrong platform, that is an anti-feature and that is the development your money went toward. When you can't turn your data plan into a hot spot without paying extra on your $70/mo Verizon plan but I can on my $10/mo plan with some obscure t-mobile reseller, the $60/mo difference went toward buying anti-features. Everything you pay for these days has extra engineering to make it a minimal product.

Giving a 10 year copyright on software would be enough for people to make money, and if they want to keep updating it with newer versions, they'll still have 10 years on each of those, so people who want an up to date version will mostly pay for it. Also, I think it would be good to have some organisation which could verify and then hold source code, and working compilation instructions, for the 10-year copyright duration, and then release it once the copyright has expired.

      I don't think it is useful to think of whether Unix by AT&T would have been made or not with or without copyright, given that the GNU operating system started by Richard Stallman combined with the Linux kernel were all made as free/libre software. But historically Unix was initially only meant to be for internal use only in AT&T, as far as I know. So Unix therefore would have been made regardless of whether copyright existed or not. Remember also that Unix wasn't allowed to sell the operating system to begin with because of the monopoly laws in USA regarding the "natural monopoly" that AT&T held as a tele-phone company. So actually what you said is invalidated by these historical facts. The source code of Unix was handed out to universities such as University of California Berkeley, creating the BSD line of Unix operating systems. Copyright hardly served much benefit for the development of Unix and even more so later Unix-like clones especially. But even if it was the case that Unix wasn't made, GNU+Linux would have been made (or whatever equivalent that alternative timeline would have had). Copyright is not a benefit for software development. But here I am only looking at the technical side of things. If we talk about morality, I say copyright itself is evil, I have a separate speech on the evils of copyright regarding art, but I also have several speeches regarding computer software and software freedom. The speech on my channel titled "Why Software Freedom is Important" with the youtube id r3ANyWiGwrI explains software freedom in simple terms. And the id of the speech about copyright regarding art is titled "Copyright Hinders Creative Potential" with the id CzTH3eIrnAU

    They do not care. Their goals and ideals are different. They would only know about it once it is bad enough in the proprietary software world, such that their goals and ideals would not be met in the proprietary world and only in the free software world.

      There is one scenario I have thought of; if there is ever a revolution of some sort where some group overthrows a government, if then someone manages to have the values of software freedom latch onto this revolutionary group then it would be possible to have software freedom be forced into legistlation of a nation state. So one possible strategy that needs to be given serious attention is promoting software freedom to revolutionary organizations and such, on the off chance they may one day succeed in their goal. Basically it's also quite irrelevant what the radicals push for, software freedom is pretty compatible with any kind of a value system for the most part that I can think of, in any case at least this should be done. But I don't know if some computer people have it in them to go infiltrate/join revolutionary organizations just to spread their philosophy, it's pretty far fetched but not impossible in the silgtest.

    Recommend investigating possible parallels with current efforts in video game preservation, this will need to become politically relevant. I hope for just the right magnitude of transgression against consumers in a broad market to catalyse public interest. Persons on the inside of the private sector can encourage corperate policies to act greedily enough to work against their own interests. Use current incentive structures to manifest backlash. Streaming services which offer "purchases" overtop subscriptions (or the inverse) might be the best vector for broadest impact. Outside of "4d corporate espoinage", forming broader alliances, making certain realistic concessions & condensing your views to actionable objectives might be a good place to start outside of these sorts of videos, which may themselves constitute praxis. One highly effective social media campaign I've seen lately was the #occultea inquiry about online occult influencer/community ethics. You could study this & learn from their success in turning the snowball down the mountain.

    Sorry gang I was mistaken when I said that CD s are not good enough quality, that there should be some mainstream 96khz 24bit format, that is as it turns out totally unnecessary. I know there is a controvercy regarding the need for higher samplerates and bit-depth, but I am convinced that the higher numbers are not necessary, what I said was based on ignorance. So CD quality it is then. We need to get back to CD quality, because lossy encoding is really bad. CD is as high as it needs to be to reach the limits of human hearing capabilities. 44.1khz 16bit "CD quality" is good.

    Not about elitism. When I built my current ATX tower, I used the then newest version of Core i5 CPU with the latest generation of Intel GPU built in. Debian Stable won't support the graphics of such a machine until the next version to come out after those processors have been replaced in the market by something newer that the new DS won't support. Meanwhile, the rolling release means that Arch supported it just as soon as I could put the machine together and install it. In my emergency/roadtrip laptop I run Debian Stable because I don't always remember to update it every couple of weeks like I should and DS is the distro most forgiving of that. Never had any luck installing Debian with the /home folder on a separate partition, because the way Debian's partition editor works, one has to set up the "home" partition before the mount point it needs exists, causing it to fail. Meanwhile, that manual command line install in Arch makes it pretty simple to figure out not only that, but how to expand on that and make my own unconventional partitioning setup which I maintain has performance advantages, but is only doable on a single-user computer. That's the beauty of Linux. There's always room for you to do you.

    I understand that proprietary softwares limit the user's freedom but I don't think all licenses are evil and unjust. For example, I think Steam (Valve), Affinity (Serif) and Davinci Resolve create great products and softwares even if they are proprietary. But softwares like Adobe are known to have bad unjust practices and probably fall into the evil category. Proprietary softwares are also usually better than free softwares because they have financial ressources to develop and maintain softwares. From a business perspective, it makes sense to make money even at the cost of loss of a bit of freedom. Heck, even Ubuntu that promotes FOSS tends to make mistakes and lose its user's trust. I think giving away your freedom to a society that you actually trust and have good records is perfectly fine. You might need to make proper research to make enligthened decisions. But you should always keep in mind that walking away from a society is always a valid option if the proprietor breaks boundaries. Untimately, it depends what you values and what you're willing to tolerate or not. Personally, I currently use a mix of both.

    Absolutely not. I just love Arch for the fact that I know what is going into my OS. Elitist are a joke and seriously nobody likes them. They are anti Linux and anti open source if they think that way. Also I use Arch so I can make the joke.... I use Arch BTW. Haha, no but seriously I use Arch btw.

    Neurodivergent people tend to be disliked. Stallman is a genius, but also he's obviously on the spectrum and not functional socially.

    • @awuuwa
      @awuuwa 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is certainly something to consider. But I'm not so sure it is obvious, I didn't think of that anyway. But would behaving improperly socially really warrant the level of hate to have him kicked out of his foundation? But it could be a part of it sure. If it is indeed the case that people in general dislike him for the mere socail awkwardness that's rather unfortunate. But I am still pretty sure that my theory presented in the speech is still a big part of the reason.
