Tech
- In short
- Things I’m not sure about
1. In short
- I am a firm believer in 💡 free software, open source, FLOSS (call it as you wish).
Not as a universal imposition, or the only ethical way to make software — but as a moral aspiration, that should be met as much as it’s
reasonable.
- I believe in 💡 nuclear energy.
It is not the best source of energy, but it is better than most of the others we can rely on at the moment.
To mention 💡 Fukushima in the same breath as 💡 Hiroshima is like discussing controlled explosions in
mines together with bombs planted by the IRA: completely different phenomena, derived from radically opposed approaches, with very different outcomes; both
just happen to be related to the same area of research in science and technology.
2. Things I’m not sure about
- Freely available, strong, E2E 💡 encryption.
I used to believe in the convenience and the fairness of opening up all kind of encryption to the masses.
I have donated to the EFF and I am generally very sympathetic with to their causes.
But more recently, some new information has given me pause.
For instance, this conversation about child abuse online.
Today, I’m not sure about what’s best.
