_On Beautiful Design_
I was tempted to say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," but that's not
even precisely the case here.
Aesthetics and fashion are dictated by the dominant corporations (e.g.
material design).
We are taught to expect certain things through propaganda and the huge
I've recently put together a resource on LibrePlanet which you're all welcome
to contribute to. It's about making money writing libre software
specifically.

Other than writing libre software, selling support for libre
Building a 100% free computing system to sell. 100%. Hardware blueprints and
free firmware of *all* the components. I'd buy it.
I know, there exist beautifull designed free software.
When I writed my reply, I was thinking more like:
Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice(which came from OpenOffice)
MacOs desktop vs mate (of course you can confugire it, but macos is already
configured)
Personally I switched to i3-gaps and
I know of a few free software projects out there that are "beautiful" as you
say and not "retro". The good thing about free software is that we can decide
to make it beautiful or modern if we care to do so. non-free software is not
always modern and beautiful and if you as a user wanted to

That joinmastodon website you're linking to in your signature has some JS

As a contribution, in Brazil the Consumer Protection and Defense Code demands
every service or product *sold* to come with a legally implied warranty of 90
days for durable things such as software. So the "no warranty" clause is void
in Brazil, but this does not nullify possible other parts of

Most people don't care about software being Free or not, the code being
opensourced or not. They just want to do their computing.
Most of the time when I tell people(who don't know much about free/non-free),
that I sell librebooted laptops and Free hardware, I need to explain what it

It seems to me the argument for not using Libre software and tools in
business is that there is no warranty; so if something should go wrong and
important files are lost, there is no one to blame. Also, we have a society
that has grown accustomed to the idea that the software is a trade
I agree with you. Please, let me know what you think about GNU Health after
installing and checking it. As I wrote before I am trying to improve some
Data Protection features.
About installing GNU Health on Trisquel 8 I have another thread about this
because I had some problems when trying
Healthcare is a good idea, I need to install GNU Health and have a look at
its capabilities. Healthcare is 20% of the US economy, and we have strict
laws making hospitals and healthcare companies responsible to stop hacking of
patient's data. A libre solution that can be audited from top to
Hi all,
I am new here and I was also thinking about this issue since I read this
post. I agree with Andy that there are some big opportunities/needs in
different fields, mainly healthcare and education.
We already have a GNU Project that could help in the healthcare field: GNU
Health
I've been thinking about your post since you wrote it. There's a big
opportunity in the fields of online sales and of healthcare in America and
Europe, where there are huge financial penalties for companies and hospitals
who get their customer's/patient's data hacked.
If you could show
Im not looking for "help". I was hoping to start a conversation. Probably not
the best to put this on a Trisquel forum though. Noted.
