Yes it didn't fail completely. (It was exaggerating to some point)
The solutions do exist. But they are scattered & un-integrated into a well oiled out of the box solution that are accessible.
What I am just saying is that we need an intellectual cross breed between Steve Jobs & Stallman.
That will know how to marry the principles of free software with
general consumer satisfaction (UX et al).
The free software movement does have some achievements.
I would however call it a success if it it was used by the majority as a default and not just a small group of fanatics.
- worksonmine 3y agoI think we're getting there. It took us centuries to get from the first car to a self-driving one. With RISC-V devices coming one after another combined with the minimal locked down immutable OS space I'm optimistic. A completely free and open source phone with off the shelf parts and a software stack you can compile yourself is around the corner. Don't call us fanatics, we're the early adopters shaping the UX you're too busy complaining about to help improve. :)
