Improving Software Practices

Making software bugs as fatal as hardware bugs would have made software near perfect:

I.e. every time Windows give BSOD, a programmer should be executed.

everything can be done in public and with my good name.

Haha why the fuck would I do that?

They absolutely can. They'll keep the public sentiment by calling us terrorists, sentence 10% of the offenders to 35 years of federal prison and then no one will be willing to do it anymore.

and dubs.

It took me 5 re-reads until I finally noticed that.

One of the beauties of free software is that it isn't easy to censor.

Compared to proprietary software it's more resistant to subversion but it's as easy to censor as anything else.

And almost everyone is a fugin terrorist using their iPhone to find targets on Google Maps^TM. You can scare people into thinking control over information will make them safer.

legal for them. illegal for us. It's not about linux being illegal, but being able to shape and mold it into what you want. Take red star linux for example. Being a linux distribution doesn't stop it from being a surveillance tool.

When users have the source, they can take full control of their computer. A computer that belongs to the user and no one else is a threat, because it isn't a surveillance node, and it is capable of uncompromised strong encryption and hence secure communication. There can be no secrets.

After reading my post a few times, I think I just get edgyer and edgyer! I wish I could say I was a paranoid idiot, but people are actually talking about banning encryption in the US right now. We'll see how it all plays out.
