Khleedril<p>I always find myself split when I look at the <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guix</span></a> home page <a href="https://guix.gnu.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">guix.gnu.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. I feel like it 1) misses selling the declarative/functional/transactional power of <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guix</span></a>, 2) misses selling <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guix</span></a> as an open system as well as supporting pure-<a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnu</span></a> installations, and 3) don't like to see the embedded domain-specific languages thing as the selling point is that <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/guile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guile</span></a> is a general-purpose, infinitely powerful configuration mechanism.

Giacomo TesioI hate debating this with you Ekaitz, because I like you a lot both as a person and as a hacker. And I can even understand your desire to go on and forget such a sad page of <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guix</a> history.<br><br>Yet, as nice, smart and wise that <span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/users/civodul" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr</a></span> might be, he's still the first signature of this <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/</a><br><br>Now, let's be clear about this: everybody makes errors.<br><br>If Courtés realized he was wrong, he can publicly apologize in the same places where he did got things wrong. But until then, he should be held accountable for his actions, just like me and everybody else.<br>
Giacomo TesioI wish you were right, but with its "<a href="https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joint Statement on the GNU Project</a>" <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guix</a> joined the shitstorm that back then was after <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=rms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RMS</a> head.<br><br>Back then, <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=stallman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stallman</a> selflessly left <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=mit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MIT</a> and <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=fsf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FSF</a> to protect them from the mob justice, so that "joint back-stab", published in that specific moment was not just a sort of virtue signaling but a plain attack.<br><br>So much that, two years later 9 of those people signed the infamous "<a href="https://rms-open-letter.github.io/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RMS open letter</a>" calling "for the removal of the entire Board of the Free Software Foundation" that dared reinstantiate RMS and even for "Richard M. Stallman to be removed from all leadership positions, including the GNU Project" <a href="https://stallmansupport.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">out of lies</a>.<br><br>The powers in place in 2021 were quite evident: just look at the sponsors of the signing organizations to find Google, Meta, Microsoft and all of their friends.<br><br>CC: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/users/ekaitz_zarraga" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social</a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/users/civodul" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr</a></span><br>

I think hackers have the right to be named as they wish in their works and no script, tool or hash chain matter more than this right).<br><br>Yet there's a huge difference between a technical or even philosophical argument and a (politically motivated) personal attack in form of a shitstorm.<br><br>Courtès might even be the best <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scheme</a> hacker out there, with a solid architectural vision of how to make <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> more reliable.<br><br>But I chose free software for political goals that he actively damaged with that attack to RMS.<br>

This huge error left space to <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> and to the current use of <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> by all sort of large corporations to abuse and subdue people.<br>Another (related) issue has been the total lack of a cohesive architectural design for <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNU</a> system: RMS was too (inconsciously) fond of free market ideology to lead the movement's technically, and this lack of cohordination was turned by <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=esr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESR</a> to the "bazaar" (not so subtle) sublimation of free market, to ease corporate exploitation of the high skilled labour of <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=hackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hackers</a>.<br><br>But in fact, with all of his political errors, he's still the most coherent and commited free software activist out there.<br><br>So I will consider Guix again when they will publish a joint apology with the same visibility the back-stab had in 2019.<br>

@civodul When I first heard of this I was thinking that the daemon would run entirely as an end user; if two users on a system run their own rootless daemons, they would each have their own store. This would be inefficient on a multi-user system of course, but on a personal laptop running #Guix on a foreign distribution....
