@navi @GrapheneOS @lumi "freedom-respecting" is not a measure of how closely it hews to the vision of linus torvalds but a measure of how much a software ecosystem precludes alternative imaginings of the user's relationship to their computing hardware. no one in this discussion would argue that android is not a corporate project, but the implicit and ridiculous assertion that goes unchallenged is that when linus torvalds got corps to work for him that he was necessarily still working for you the user. systemd too seeks to apply corporate computing models to distros with actual users and was notably to blame for enabling the xz-utils vuln. we can do so much better! this should be an exciting new frontier where we can push each other to shake off the chains that bind us to hierarchical power relations! linux is the floor!
