I've heard girls jokingly ask to "Netflix and chill", but when I tell them I refuse to watch videos "on Netflix", even if it is not being run on my computer, as it is such a threat to freedom that I feel uncomfortable with legitimizing it in that way and ask them what movie(s) I should prepare for mpv playback in 100% freedom, they stop talking to me.
What's worse, if they do stay, they see my 100% freedom computing setups and how all browsers are configured not to run proprietary JavaScript and how youtube.com redirects to an invidious instance and think I'm weird.
Sometimes I get their numbers and I send them a greeting via SMS, also noting that I'm reachable over irc and email, with my gnupg key attached via MMS and instructions how to verify the key and they often mumble something about "green bubbles" and "Android", even though the message was sent via asterisk from Emacs.
I clearly don't use dating sites as those require running proprietary software, plus none of them have any respect for privacy either.
How come it is so hard to find a girl who is indifferent about software freedom, rather than dedicated to never achieving it?
I feel like I'm going to be a wizard and then stay like that forever (but that may not be a bad thing).
@Hyolobrika >freetard
I'm a freevance.
This poor wretch needs to be introduced to a few actual factual nerd women. They are abundant. I married one.
Fact: the first thing I bought for my g/f (now wife) was a custom built development box running Fedora.
Here are some pictures of some prototypes of end-user verifiable free integrated circuits (It's a modified PLCC84 IC package, that can be opened by end-user and resealed after the IC content was checked by a special machine, a kind of automated microscope).
If it is easy with free software to check its integrity and conformity regarding its original source code or executable binary, by checking the signature of a hash, is a way more complex operation with free integrated circuits : Checking the conformity and integrity of your copy required access to the silicium die and analyze it with a special machine (A kind of microscope, but way more powerfull) to compare it to the original plans and source code, and to ensure no other extra
@georgia thing were covertly inserted into the design.
The special machine that verify your copy actually also test each transistor individually.
Without that, all the IC's you use can be backdoored without your knowledge. Do you realize that in such case, the benefits of free software in terms of user control are almost null ?
Do you understand ?
Or does the CIA brainwashing and propagand prevents you from understanding such an easy to understand thing ?
So my question is simple :
Why do you advocate like hell, like a guy from a sect, for free software, while you don't even care for what is inside all the integrated circuits composing your computer ?
Do you realize how stupid it is ?
Do you ?
Say thank you to the CIA for brainwashing you this way. And don't worry, you're not the only one, they brainwashed almost 99.9% of the hacker scene.
Free Software, without computers fully made out of free integrated circuits, is almost useless.
Deal with it !
Free software freedom is currently a huge lie by omission, because without free integrated circuits, it's almost useless.
The whole computers needs to be free, everything, not only the software.
I'm sure you won't answer me, I'm almost certain. It's always like that, in your evil sect. And I say evil because you lure people with free software freedom, you lure them, and CIA and NSA are just laughing, because they fucking know that free software without free integrated circuits is almost useless.
Instead of hiding their backdoors into software where everybody is looking at, they hide the most dangerous ones into integrated circuits, where nobody is looking at.
Voila.
@georgia I never said free software was not useful. Never. I just reminded you, as you seems to be a "radical free software folk", that your radicality makes me laugh as long as you don't also advocate for end-user free integrated circuits and for free hardware.
The useful idiot is you. NSA and CIA hide more backdoors into integrated circuits than you may think. So free software or not, as long as integrated circuits are backdoored, your free software freedom is deeply compromised.
@georgia Oh my god.
The VHDL source code of many IC's in your PC, including Intel CPU, but not only, count in several hundred million lines of code.
IME is just an official backdoor, but they are so many others. Every key element is backdoored, like random number generator, ethernet controller, the south and north bridges, etc..
The source code of all these IC's is larger than your debain's OS source code and you think they just inserted the well known IME ?
Same for the BIOS / EFI software.
@georgia Everything you're just said, everything, believe me or not, is the standard CIA brainwashing about these issues.
This is what they formatted you to think, like most of the hacker scene.
Same, you will truly believe that Tor protects anonymity.
Look, it's very funny for other spies spying on me, because you're just yet another confirmation that CIA has brainwashed the hacktivist scene, with propaganda, and maybe with the help of psychotronic weaponery too.
