J. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA. SF:<p><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/12/the_price_of_software_freedom/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The price of software freedom is eternal politics • The Register</a></p><p>The article is about X11 and Wayland but it goes into the politics behind the various projects.</p><p>I never considered the ideological divide between "Free Software" vs. "Open Source Software", but I suppose this makes sense.</p><blockquote><p>FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software, but Free Software and Open Source are not the same things. They are opposites, different sides of the same coin.<br>Free Software is an expressly left-wing sort of proposition that was formalized in the 1980s. It uses the ambiguous word "free" as in "freedom." It is all about personal liberty, about giving people the right to take someone else's creations, change them however they see fit, and do whatever they want with them, including re-sharing them.<br>In contrast, Open Source came along over a decade later and is a very much a right-wing capitalist sort of idea – that anyone, including companies, can make better software by developing it in the open. A significant inspiration was the 1997 essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by writer, hacker, and activist Eric S Raymond, and for an idea of his views, note that his personal page advocates for the Libertarian Party, and also his position on firearms control.<br>The Open Source movement is relatively corporate, and seeks to persuade businesses that developing in the open makes for better software, which, indirectly, makes them more money. The Free Software movement is about ensuring users' rights, including access to the source code, and founder Richard Stallman explicitly says that "Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software."<br>The term "FOSS" tries to cover both "FS" and "OS", but mingling the two very different terms together risks its advocates forgetting that this handy catch-all acronym masks a profound and important difference of opinion.</p></blockquote><p>Since he was mentioned, here is my obligatory "Richard Stallman is a piece of shit" acknowledgement. <a href="https://stallman-report.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Stallman Report</a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Xorg</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/XLibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XLibre</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wayback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayback</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a></p>

It's an innovative initiative aiming to save classic X11 desktops from becoming obsolete with the rise of Wayland. 💻</p><p>The Wayback Project introduces an experimental Wayland compositor that hosts a "rootful" Xwayland instance. This means your favorite X11 desktop environments like Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, and even W3 can run seamlessly on Wayland 🚀</p><p>Created by the talented Alpine Linux developer Ariadne Conill, this project is a game-changer for those of us who still rely on legacy desktops and apps. Early builds are already up and running, bugs and all, and the project is actively seeking testers and contributors to help refine and improve it.</p><p>Check out this video to learn more: <br>The Wayback Project wants to save X11 Desktops from the coming of Wayland <a href="https://youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br> Thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/@Jill_linuxgirl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Jill_linuxgirl</span></a></span> :blob_cat_heart: </p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TheWaybackProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheWaybackProject</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AriadneConill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AriadneConill</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlpineLinux</span></a></p>
