singpolyma commented on Please prove me wrong, but I think I've got a use case that only proprietary code can fulfil. at Reddit, saying
I said this in my other comment, but to be very clear: the only good way to do this is with a third-party signing server, which could be libre or not (obviously we hope that it is). You want third party verification, so you need a third party.

it is impossible for us or our clients to modify the test results after the fact

Unless they are server-side storage only (in which case the software could be libre on a third party server to get the same effect) or it's digitally signed by a remote server (also very easy with libre software) this to totally false. Locally-produced, locally-stored digital data can always be modified.

I've been switching all my users to LXDE. More familiar to them than most other interfaces, and runs well on just about anything

Is this a future plan? It's not in the repos today (I just looked)

I believe the argument is that the parts change to make it work with Linux are the derived part

I just checked, and Debian does not distribute even the DKMS. They only distribute FUSE (and, of course, the FreeBSD module for Debian/kFreeBSD)

Well. IIRC they don't really make a lot of profits. But they hope to

singpolyma commented on ZFS filesystem will be built into Ubuntu 16.04 LTS by default at Reddit, saying

So far, the courts have sided with the vendors that ship non-free drivers.

ref? Experts I ask say there have been no court decisions on this yet.

that's why ZFS on FreeBSD is no problem at all

GPL in FreeBSD is no problem either, though they tend to dislike it more, it is legal to distribute 🙂

singpolyma commented on Laptop battery usage at Reddit, saying
Well, currently powertop shows a pretty constant 10 wakeups per ms from tor — highest idle process on my system besides syncthing. So I was just wondering if there's anything it's doing while idle that I might not need, etc, to reduce battery usage, since it's a big user

I think you can even make money selling binaries. There are several projects that try that in various ways (Conversations is one of them), but it isn't nearly as popular as services, etc

singpolyma commented on Face it: There's no money in open source at Reddit, saying
The claims this article starts with could be refuted with mere minutes of research. There are several people and companies in my town who make money off open source without proprietary relicensing or other stuff. They all sell services (because that's the most popular business model, or because that's what they wanted to do, I believe there are other options).
