> "Mutual recognition of freedom" by Hegel
I had to look that up, found this: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel-social-political/
"Hegel defines “right” [Recht] as the existence of the free will in the world. So a philosophy of right is necessarily a philosophy of freedom that seeks to comprehend freedom actualized in how we relate to each other and construct social and political institutions."
One might add: "how we relate to each other and construct social and political institutions... and software." 🙂
Using #FreeSoftware everyday from OSes (for desktop and mobile) to a music player, I've realized the value of freedom of software and the reason why free software is not the matter of price (gratis).
Basically this is the matter of rights, responsibility, and ethics of the civil society. See "Mutual recognition of freedom" by Hegel.
It is unfortunate that free software has been mainly the topic of computer geeks and established thinkers around the world have not thought about that quite much.
@neil Things may work better if you use "apt purge" instead of, or after, "apt remove". The "apt purge" command is supposed to remove all remaining files related to the package, while "apt remove" may leave some stuff. My guess is that if you did "apt remove" and then manually removed a directory, apt believed the directory was still there. If you use "apt purge" instead, apt will know that a complete new install is needed next time you do "apt install". I think.
What do you think about the "System Transparency" thing?
I think it seems good, it lets the user decide what should be on the system from the ground up.

@neil Welcome back anytime!
I know will miss that sweet GDPR 🙂
Marina Hyde continues:
"If you give a minister a brief that encompasses the entire media, the UK’s data strategy, regulating big tech, 5G rollout, cyber-security, the charity sector, the whole of sport and the £100bn-plus creative industries, and they spend so much as ONE NANOSECOND fanning up some culture war nonsense about panto, that isn’t so much playing with the box as taking a shit in it. And nobody, other than fellow infants, wants to see that."

Marina Hyde in The Guardian is sharp and funny, as usual.
"Even so, I had to balk at the Spectator’s suggestion that Nadine “will oversee a more punchy attitude to the culture war aspect of her brief”. Sorry, but what culture war aspect of her brief?! Psychologists say that if you give a child a present and they end up playing with the box, then the toy you gave them was too complicated for them."

@joacim I wish that motherfucking website would get rid of motherfucking Google Analytics.

@silverhax Of course they will not fire the coolest person at the workplace. Without you they are totally lost. 🙂
@neil Is it legal for them to do that?
Interesting! I did not know that ever existed.

@arielcostas@fosstodon.org But that's the choice you get after choosing "Customize settings". The first and most important choice is between "Accept all cookies" and "Customize settings", most people will choose accept all there because it is the quickest way to move on, so they will never see the "confirm my choices" button. They know very well people don't want to be tracked, but trick them into "accepting" all by making it the quickest choice.
TLDR they are still assholes 🙂
@lig What does "ML" mean?
Maybe when I need to ask that it means the poll is not meant for me, but anyway. 🙂
