Yes, of course, when their teachers learn to use a FLOSS desktop for all tasks, starting with writing theses and papers in LaTeX... In other words, when they run courses for students to recover what they didn't learn in high schools. T

As an European, I don't agree with the analysis: it's not labour law that has stifled innovation, but the post-WWII generation that chose to try stopping the train of history. Those born between the late 40s and 60s want NOTHING t

Personally, I dream of an open-hardware, FLOSS wallet, also usable on POS like a bank smart card, confirming crypto transactions like legacy/traditional ones on its own display. Internally, the signature part isolated like a smart-card

Digital ID is logic, in a digital world, what's not logic is centralized digital IDs instead of open, public chain-of-trust ones. Similar for many other digital things: they could be good or bad depending on how you do them. As long as
