> Perhaps you should re-read your message: "Trisquel would be more
trustworthy if it started to work on top of Debian Stable instead of Ubuntu."
I was not hysteric. Debian is a much more mature project, it has a "free
software only" approach, it favors stability and security above usability and
looks, they put the users first (which canonical does not, refusing to remove
amazon spyware from ubuntu), they move their system towards the future
(trying to support different kernels and architectures), etc etc etc....
Being based on Debian would help the Trisquel project. Do you have any doubts
in this??
> Hysteria includes "delusions of threats." That you perceive a problem with
Trisquel merely because it is based on Ubuntu -- and for no other reason --
is where it starts.
If you truly believe that amazon spyware is the last malicious feature will
ever be discovered in Ubuntu.... lol, well, you have the right to think that
way, but I can't honestly trust a company that, like Canonical, refuses to
remove a feature that nearly EVERY user complained about. We will still
discover many bad things about Ubuntu in the near future, and Trisquel is in
danger of incorporating those things.
> That Ubuntu includes proprietary software -- and induces people to install
even more -- is bad. So is spying on their users. Both are bad. The solution
is to not use Ubuntu. They need to be admonished but that doesn't
automatically extend to derivatives that don't have these problems.
Let's clear this out: I would rather use proprietary software that was not
spying on me, than use free software that was spying on me and selling me
out. Pure and simple. I don't treasure software above all else, I treasure
people above all else. As for free software, since it can be used for any
purpose, that allowed the NSA and (from memory, not 100% sure) Iran's
government to use modified versions of BackTrack to spy on people. THAT is
wrong. A person who for one reason or another, uses a proprietary driver or
program, that is not wrong, it can be stupid, but it's not wrong. Got it??
