Time is a concept which comprises of events. Things don’t happen on their own and cash is of course the thing lacking but “support” is the wrong word here. Free software should earn cash!


Everyone here is most welcome to my talk on libreplanet which would occur in a couple of days, Survival of Free Software


According to current practices, it isn’t unethical. However according to the standards of Scientific journalism, it is just a statement given by 3 people and is a poor source.



I prefer scientific journalism. I need some proper document or some video. I don’t trust Aftab Ahmed, Manoj Kumar and Krishna Das. As far as I know, India already has bought cheap oil when last oil prices went down in covid. India bought futures then. Also, Mukesh Ambani, an Indian investor has quite some stake in Aramco. Ofc, it can be but not over words of some people whose job is to print such stories. I prefer being uncertain.



This shows progress in a bit more detail. We’re not rewriting a majority of bsd kernel. What do you think is strange about free software? Free software prevents misuse of software by allowing user complete control. In my view, it is absolutely necessary!


What is the meaning of the word “announcement”? What is the characteristic of my post?

We are extremely pleased to announce the first rc (release candidate) of Hyperbola v0.4 . It is a small pit stop while migrating from Linux to hyperbk kernel, a fork of OpenBSD's bsd kernel with non-free parts replaced. v0.4 has linux-libre without systemd, ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, D-Bus, elogind. For now, it is for advanced testers only. The beauty of Hyperbola lies in purity of components, minimalism and constant quest towards perfection. We welcome advanced GNU/Linux users to try it out!

There’s no point of using tor browser while using archtorify. I haven’t tried such a thing. Tor Browser additionally protects against fingerprinting which archtorify does not. You’ll be able to do that by restarting archtorify using “archtorify -r”.

Absolutely, that’s the advantage of free software! :)

What archtorify does is it sets up iptables and a systemd service so that everything goes by default through tor. Installation shown in wiki.

I’ve installed more than 15 different OSes more than 100 times. The OS which I typically recommend, Trisquel KDE, is incredibly easy to install. It’s somewhat difficult to use however. If you want something extremely simple even for use, go for Kubuntu.


Views on Indian Budget
What are your views on Indian Budget? Surprisingly market didn't dip this time with Nirmala Sitharaman's presentation!

I personally use tutanota but it relies too much on JS and a really important feature in email, search sucks!

I recommend Trisquel. Use plasma DE for sure, it provides amazing user experience. Tell her to not expect things exactly like those of Windows or Mac and learn till she becomes comfortable. Initially she’ll struggle, later she won’t even think of using Windows or Mac.


As long as free software stays incompatible with capitalism, this is gonna happen. Proprietary software earns money and is self-dependent whereas free software depends on charity.

A million CONNECTED small instances > a few big instances


We increasingly find that having the first minimum number of users who interact amongst themselves is extremely important for a system to survive. I want to create this unique community of critical mass. In this community, the users would essentially be notified about new platforms, which are better than current platforms where we ask you to create an account and generate some basic content. This would enable that platform and essentially replace the other non-ethical platform. The newer platform may not be ideal and might have flaws but it would definitely be better than the older prevalent technology in many respects. We invite you, my dear friends, to this new community. You, would be the reason for change of some crucial aspects of society by mere participation!

Communication across different server doesn’t mean centralized. Without communication, there would be a million servers with 5 people on each server.


Absolutely. The whole point of ads is to earn money and survive. That’s definitely an option!


Pretty much self-explanatory. Interested people please join. You're welcome to post without slightest hesitation!
