Ah I see what you mean. Yes I agree.
> It's simply about time to admin that software can only be FLOSS and the competition can only be in hw. Meaning things we need to build as products, with raw materials not simply "selling some copies/bit", or "physical economy" vs "paper/finance one".
Agreed!
- kkfx 2y agoSorry, in general I comment quickly and my English is still poor enough to be not so clear in some cases, I'll try to do better when I see issues, but still sometimes I remain unclear :-) Anyway really dream a modern system like Emacs where you can simply "plug some code" in someone else "app" on your system, how easy it could be extending and also evolving thanks to idea circulation because well, a small "package" is easy to read and understand and being not "another whole app" but just a kind of "plug-in" it's far easier to try. Choosing the current pro-commercial model we have already lost decades of potential evolution only for a bad base design... You can extend that to anything else: a washing machine? Imaging if it's control panel is just and open interface with a common standard communication protocol: you can integrate it in your p.v. and make your wash in self-consumption issueless, it would be so simple most geek can do showing a potential evolutionary path to others. From this to a simple "smart home" where all appliances run one after another to maximize self consumption, than a different design for new machines (let's say instead of one big induction coil many little to being able to tune the load) and so on, with innovation happening at almost all levels like in classic FLOSS but IRL, not just in some geek projects.
