Maybe there are already some projects over the internet, but I think the real problem is adoption, for who would they do all of this if no one's using RISC-V (I mean, there's people using it but percentage-wise it's negligeble) and there's no sufficient interest in mass manufacturing RISC-V processors?

This is one front the FSF may not have "won" on yet, not to mention Web Assembly (which I am excited for) is coming out, which creates even more of an issue from their perspective. There is the concern like you said of all these client-server relationships, and there is still plenty of non-free software people use. Not to mention people don't understand the ethical backbone of libre software, I think it matters to have it. I am not a libre software purest by any means (I am running windows right now), but I still think there is a libre software fight from the point of view of libre software philosophies/"purests". Not to mention libre hardware.

[@conceptrat]

Hey Luke. I'm a long time Linux user, Slackware from Walnut Creek CDROM early 90's, and member of FSF around same time . I'm not so sure that FSF is unneeded, although I do agree that without RMS steering the ship it may not hold to the ideals that it started with for long. My big concern is that without some group bringing together enough voices is that things like Microsoft Store will make the large general userbase dependant on a single ecosystem for searching, installing and running apps. Case in point at the moment is the number of users, some of them my friends, asking why they can't find a free/OSS program that they downloaded or installed, saying it doesn't show up in the Apps. For us it's obvious where everything ends up and how to run it, but for them, if it's not in the Store or on the Start menu then it doesn't exist. Where am I going with this? Organisations like FSF, as well as communities formed around things like Arch Linux, Suckless and channels like yours, are really important to help inform and teach users experiencing, free and OSS systems and applications for the first time that there are alternatives and they are, in most cases functional. Yeah that's still a gotcha. Having said all that, I've been reconsidering my financial involvement in FSF since last year. Still on the fence though.

Luke, while superior or equivalent FOSS software exists for many things, there is one important category which is severely lacking, and that is CAD. Proprietary CAD software is leagues ahead of FOSS alternatives in ability and usability, and to imply otherwise is either disingenous or ignorant.

[@danv8718]

Indeed.

[@LukeSmithxyz]

CAD is pretty niche software. That's actually the trend. If there is some proprietary software that remains dominant, it was an early niche program. In each case, it will probably be difficult for a free software equivalent to overcome it. I haven't used CAD since highschool, so I can't make any recommendations on that though.

[@dominickallen2626]

@@LukeSmithxyz Being niche does not reduce its importance. I've looked high and low for alternatives, and none compare. While FreeCAD has made a lot of progress in recent years, it's only managed to go from horrible trash to barely useable. It still suffers from a lack of UI polish and capabilities present in proprietary alternatives. I am also certain that CAD is not the only niche lacking good FOSS alternatives, but it is the only one that will make me boot up Windows. I think an important aspect of free software "winning" is greater penetration in the professional workspace. To use another example of software that is not as good as the proprietary equivalent, "office productivity" software is bad on Linux too (in b4 use TeX/x alternative for Excel). Thankfully, I don't need to use that at work, and most of my coworkers have workstations running linux - but I am a software developper.

[@Yetoob8lWuxUQnpAahSqEpYkyZ]

I wouldn't say it's money that made it more shit. Back in the 90s and early 2000s there was stuff like Caldera with the free software base with proprietary applications and you paid for that and it actually worked as advertised (I never used it, this is the general consensus I get regarding it). Other proprietary operating systems were advertised as something that got work done and that actually worked and actually did work as advertised once you paid for it (I know a lot of software was glitchy or fucking broken compared to broken today, but when it functioned it at least did that well). I think the mindset back then was that people wouldn't buy software if it didn't work, but as we have all seen, people will pay for things that tend to be less than shit. If you know that, it doesn't make financial sense to spend time and money on a working program that doesn't necessarily matter by the end of the product's life span. It would make more financial sense to make something that works in the beginning, but not as time goes on because now you get a subscription fee up front with recurring payments monthly or annually and as long as you have a mindset of a constant need for features or being up to date, that matters more than the actual work. Also, rather than people paying up front a perpetual license that they would expect to work as advertised and expected without too much retardation, you can't do that if you don't want to spend the money to make a good product. So you have a subscription to give the perception that you are paying for fixes to shitty issues but it's fine if shitty issues persist which this incomplete painting would allow for a complete product fall out of view. Plus, average people don't know shit from shit on a plate and keep buying either.

Where are you going? To Canonical HQ? Richard's home? Grocery store? Where, where????

Totally agree on companies writing software that's hard to troubleshoot. Back in Windows 7 days (and Windows before it) when your computer unexpectedly stopped working (BSOD or poweroff) windows immediately asked you to boot into safe mode, therefore making troubleshooting and fixing a lot easier. Nowdays when Windows 10 crashes you have to use recovery tool on USB or you have to do some weird shit with your computer in order to force windows to boot into recovery. Recently I had to fix a 3 year old PC running windows 10. I used recovery tools on USB and couldn't run scannow and DISM tools, which are probably the first tools you are going to use to fix windows pc. Needless to say I couldn't find nothing on microsoft websites regarding the issue at hand, instead I had to consult some weird website with questionable reputation where some weird fix, which I couldn't understand at all, finally worked. Glad I pirated that peace of shit, never going to pay for it.

Oh, you just described .Net. Hard to troubleshoot? Yes. "That problem occurred god knows why"? Yes. "Take a step left or right from official tutorial and you need whole department of customer service to solve it"? DOUBLE CHECK! And I'm speaking from dev's perspective.

[@dawkot6955]

Hard to troubleshoot in comparison to what?

[@LedoCool1]

@@dawkot6955 I had experience w/ c++, java and php. C++ until some point not really, after that point - yes, c++ is easier to understand. Java looked more user friendly from the start. And php... well you can just crack your framework open.

You really have a timer right next to your camera to tell you when you reach 10 minutes of video, right?

[@LukeSmithxyz]

8 minutes is officially the new 10 minutes on KZbin though.

Free seatbelt foundation

@10:00 THIS, so much THHIS

[@ArilandoArilando]

There is still no implementation of HDR on Linux. So there is still stuff that's not possible with free software.

[@KingZero69]

this man doesn't wear a seatbelt...

[@M3SOTI]

If richard stallman created this FSF and he got fired probably someone else is more important than him running this FSF. For me it doesn't make sense..

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

It is a good thing they did not call it freedom software, but just free software that is free in spirit only not in price. While it is certainly not in the right spirit to put a price on freedom software if such software existed, but as they themselves rightly say it is always in the right spirit to put a price on free software, which is free in spirit only nand not in price.

Now if only we could have nice open source CAM software too.

[@galbi4235]

have you ever written a piece of software?

[@quidquopro1185]

I have RMS tattooed on my right butt cheek. It was made using nothing but free software and hardware.
