no free software distro can do that. users control free software.
maybe what you're trying to say is that you don't like distros that don't offer convenience for you to shoot yourself in the feet. that presumed feeling of yours sounds plausible to me, it fits with what you've written. but it's a matter of convenience, not of freedom. 2024-05-01 08:15 —

when you celebrate you can decide whether or not to install a certain blob that claims to fix a bug, and that this is some freedom, you appear to be missing that the supplier is denying you the freedom you should also have to see what other changes the blob would bring onto your computer, and to decide which of them you want and which of them you don't, and to improve on them, and to help others. you're celebrating the crumbs thrown at you so that you'll leave the bigger piece of the pie to those who control you.
trusting that the blob suppliers have your best interest in mind when they push updates, instead of aiming to expand their power and profits through the control over you that you grant them, is naïve at best 2024-04-30 19:36 —
> the goal of software freedom
stop right there, there's a misconception software freedom is the goal free software is the means to that goal but if it takes accepting nonfree software to run free software, that's not achieving the goal, that's giving up software freedom, because that nonfree software takes your freedom away from the perspective of someone else who runs both that nonfree software and some other piece of nonfree software, replacing one of them with free software is a step towards software freedom, but does not achieve the goal of software freedom 2024-04-30 19:29 —

para em seu límpido aquário fagocitar? ou será que fica melhor com pútrido em vez de límpido? 2024-04-30 19:13 —
as in, disable the optional fixes and you remain just with the mandatory shit that came with them? thanks but no thanks

the improvements and fixes would be welcome if we could tell them apart and separate them from undesirable changes imposed through a nonfree packaging arrangement
