@torvalds happy holidays! One floss.social post won't have space to discuss all the inaccuracies in your post.

This lawsuit isn't primarily about Linux, which is just 1 of 26 copyleft projects on the TVs; there's both GPLv2 & LGPLv2.1 binaries; Vizio's sources remain non-compliant on various issues. I think maybe you didn't read what we've actually said?

Lots of Linux developers care about this and have different views, so maybe take some time to talk to them or me about it? Could be fun!

Tänkte kolla om det gick att fånga glittret i gräset, men det sket sig.

After lengthy discussions with some experts, I start to see a way to define and measure #DigitalSovereignty as a combination of three vectors:

- Ownership
- Control
- Trust

Ownership can focus on data, hardware, software. Control flows from ownership. Who has authority to grant and limit access, use? Trust should obviously flow from ownership and control as the final checkpoint. With this I can start to sort different approaches and proposals in the DigSov discussion. Maybe it helps you too?

What do you think about the current state of US democracy?

Beautiful words of wisdom from @taymaz translated into English:

Fuck iPhone, Apple and everyone else making life piss-hard regarding interoperability.

Också, helt ärligt. Fuck iPhone, Apple och alla andra som gör livet pisssvårt för interoperabilitet.

Skapa en en bra produkt och våga låta användaren använda den fullt ut istället för att tvångsmässigt låsa in användare.

According to Timothy Snyder's "On Freedom" (2024) there are these five forms of freedom:

- Sovereignty
- Unpredictability
- Mobility
- Factuality
- Solidarity

We need all of them.

@linbro @jajo det här är framtiden, såhär ska vi ha det i hela samhället!

Tänk hur effektiva till exempel alla myndigheter kommer att bli. Du får direkt svar, "Din överklagan av myndighetens beslut har avslagits. Motivering: Irak, Iran och Irak. Hejsan!"

Just watched The Blues Brothers. Wonderful movie!

Random quotes:

"I hate Illinois Nazis"

"We're on a mission from God."

"You gotta understand, this is a lot bigger than any domestic problems you might be experiencing."

It has great music. I guess that happens when you have names like Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Ray Charles in the cast. 🤩

Oh and also Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia!) as the Mystery Woman.

As much as I like paper and computers, I hate printers. Perhaps because printer manufacturers were the first really obvious enshittifiers?
