Who is The Cobra?

+

I am The Cobra. I am a free software developer and activist located in New York.

+

I put a more fully fledged introduction on my home page.

+

Why should you read my blog? Because I will probably post a lot about free software and related issues, as well as some things in my personal life that are worth blogging about.

+ + + diff --git a/blogs/2022-06-16/free-software-only.html b/blogs/2022-06-16/free-software-only.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1f159cd --- /dev/null +++ b/blogs/2022-06-16/free-software-only.html @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ + + + + + + Free SOFTWARE Foundation + + + +

It's the Free SOFTWARE Foundation, forget user freedom

+

The good

+

I used to think that the Free Software Foundation was the best foundation on planet Earth. That is not true. I now realize that the FSF cares not about user freedom, and barely even cares about software freedom.

+

The Free Software Foundation does good things, such as the GNU Project and the Defective By Design campaign. They do great things for the free software movement, and only the free software movement.

+

The bad

+

The Free Software Foundation's "Respect Your Freedom" certification absolutely does NOT apply to free hardware. It only applies to hardware in which the software that can be modified is free.

+

This means that most of the non-free software can't even be replaced with free software if there was a free replacement, meaning the hardware is LESS free! For example, most if not all RYF laptops have an Atheros chipset wireless card using ath9k or prior. The Atheros wireless chipset, prior to ath10k, used read-only memory, or ROM, to store the firmware for the device. This means that the operating system doesn't need to have any knowledge of the firmware, and the user doesn't need to install non-free firmware onto the OS. This, however, is not freedom. Modern wireless cards, such as the ones produced by Intel and Realtek, load firmware from the OS in order to save on ROM space. This means that the OS needs to have non-free software installed in order to use the card. But the operating system could load a different, free firmware load instead, giving the user more freedom.

+

The RYF certification also does not require that the hardware schematics nor CAD files be released under a free license, so the hardware itself doesn't even respect your freedom.

+

Would you rather be trapped, or trapped with an option to escape? That is the question the RYF certification brings with it. I would choose the latter.

+

The ugly

+

Even deeper into the RYF certification, we come across exceptions. Exceptions, exceptions, exceptions. Not only are they not made clealy aware to the user, but they make a device even more non-free than it would have been otherwise. For example, Purism (more on them later) is trying to become RYF certified on their devices by hiding the proprietary blobs required for them to function, instead of working on removing them. Secondary processors running the non-free software is perfectly fine according to the FSF. Some freedom, hiding the restrictions under more restrictions.

+

Purism. Where do I start. Not only are they doing shady business with they own products, they're doing even shadier business with Start9's products. They worked together to create a proprietary hardware server running proprietary software, Start9's own source-available "free and open source" (yes they claimed this, they mean gratis and source-available, but just want to make people think they're ethical) operating system EmbassyOS. Start9 also resells the Raspberry Pi 4 for 654 USD, but that's besides the point. The point really is, the FSF endorses Purism and their OS, even though they do shady backhanded deals with unethical companies like Start9.

+

Just another side note, but a very important one: the FSF's website (and the GNU website; I haven't checked other campaigns, but probably them as well) is licensed under CC BY-ND 4.0. This license permits no derivatives, stripping the user of basic freedom number three: the freedom to distribute copies of modified versions to others. Pretty hypocritical, isn't it?

+

Conclusion

+

All in all, the FSF has done wonders for the free software movement, but definitely not for any other movement involving freedom. I personally do not donate to them and will not, but I don't judge you if you do, even though they haven't done much for free software recently. I do hope that they see the error of their ways at some point, don't continue the RYF certification in it's current form, and stop promoting free software made by unethical people.

#FreeAssange

+

Jesus Christ. Ten whole years it's been, and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is still under attack. Somehow, some way, the United Kingdom's government has decided that Assange should be extradited to the US, where he would likely be held in a maximum security prison, ignoring his already worsening health. Freedom of the press is a joke, and Assange is the punch line.

+

For those not in the loop, Assange is the founder of WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization that publishes state secrets in the public interest. This, as you could probably guess, is problematic for shady governments like the US. Assange has done great things for freedom of the press and the public, but you can't speak truth in a kingdom of lies, so the UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has decided to extradite Assange to the US because of the things published on WikiLeaks concerning the US government and constant pressure from the US.

+

What did he do? That's complicated. Assange is wanted in the United States on 18 criminal charges regarding the thousands of secret diplomatic and military documents published by WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010 concerning wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The British Home Office made this statement: "In this case, the UK courts have not found that it would be oppressive, unjust, or an abuse of process to extradite Mr. Assange." I, personally, find it unjust. The first ammendment guarantees freedom of the press in the United States. I don't think the founding fathers wanted to make an exception for US war crimes, but here we are. Assange is facing charges because the US government doesn't want the people to know that it's actually corrupt.

+

The Continental Congress of 1776 declared that if a government becomes abusive, then it loses its validity and should be overthrown. The people who drafted the Constitution were very aware of that danger. The US government1 today, in my opinion, is abusive, as it1 is censoring and trying to imprison the biggest advocate of free speech and freedom of the press for speaking out against it1.

+

We the people can do more than just sit and wait for everything to go south, though. We can protest and we can inform others about the situation. The more people fight for freedom, the more freedom we will get. If Assange is imprisoned, it sets a horrible precedent for freedom-related trials in the future. Governments will start to censor even more, bring down freedom as a whole, and we end up in 1984 even more than we already are. Assange's freedom means our freedom, and his imprisonment means our imprisonment.

+

I stand with Assange, for freedom, against censorship. The US wants to break the law to hide their war crimes, and I will not let them. What happens behind closed doors is not my business, but the doors to the US's crimes have been unjustly closed in my face, and I will not stand for it. I hope you feel the same way, and I hope you spread the word. #FreeAssange.
