Will this be available on f-droid? Many people don't like having google play on their phone, especially those concerned with privacy and open-source. I know the user can always compile this themselves.
> Don't want to use your real name? Don't join a site where the goal is to publicly connect with people you know."
ironically, many people joined facebook with the names they used in "real" life, only later to find their accounts suspended because they didn't use their "real name". Additionally, some people joined facebook to connect with certain groups of people they wanted to interact with but coudldn't in their real geographic area (e.g. threatened minority groups or viewpoints that are thinly scatted across the globe), so they may have been allured by facebook's promise to help connect them, only to find later when facebook changes their name policy that their account is suspended.
> Don't want your privacy violated, post only what you feel comfortable with.
Facebook's data collection go beyond the information that you post, but extends to all the metadata and interactions that many users for the most part are unaware that they are giving out and may would prefer not to reveal. Had people listened to Stallman more, these interactions would more likely be handled by people's own private or community servers running free software, allowing people to share only the information that they want to be shared publicly, and keep other information & metadata private.
I would add for 2. that there are newer architectures, especially low power and various experimental parallel ones, that could use better optimizing compilers.
In addition to GCC, a bunch of other compilers including Intel and Visual Studio do profile based optimization, as well as many dynamic compilers, such as firfox javascript or Java VMs. Profil-guided opitmization has been studied for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile-guided_optimization
as jessaustin remarked, "[RMS] is complaining about the specific implementation of mobile tech with which we're currently saddled."
Listening to RMS would mean that if you do carry a mobile device, that it would use entirely free software including all drivers and bootloaders, that it only communicates with other hardware running entirely free software (i.e. only basetowers or wifi routers running free software), and that all the internet services accessed ran entirely free software (e.g. private email servers instead of gmail, pump.io & GNU social instead of twitter & facebook, mediagoblin instead of youtube, wikipedia, yacy or some other free software for search, etc.
> I do use Facebook to plug my books and to hopefully drive traffic to my blog articles
The trick is configuring your blog to autopost to facebook, for which I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-link-to-facebook/ which also automatically grabs likes and comments from the facebook post and adds them to the wordpress comments database. Maybe this is acknowledging facebook's value, but at least I don't have to personally interact with facebook, nor are visitors to my blog tracked by facebook's javascript.
It is possible to get by with a mobile device without cell service. Just need occasional email checks at open wireless spots. All the more reason to setup a router with EFF's open wireless. https://openwireless.org/
I've been hoping for things like this to start appearing.
The difficulty with getting these things going is getting enough of a user base to prime the pump. Before major arbitration decisions can be made, people need to start off arbitrating little things. Like being a referee for a small game tournament with friends.
There's a lot of poor grammar, for instance:
"Mining in Dcoin is not usual familiar mining we got used to with other cryptocurrency."
I'm having trouble parsing that sentence and can't tell if you mean mining is similar to other currencies or different.
Plenty more grammar mistakes... (you should get an English editor and make sure to get an arbiter with high dcoin reputation to protect your transaction:) ).
Also, it is always nice to have localized websites...us americans aren't used to seeing decimals reversed with thousand separators, for instance: "0,0004%"
>>"Mining in Dcoin is not usual familiar mining we got used to with other cryptocurrency."
>> I'm having trouble parsing that sentence and can't tell if you mean mining is similar to other currencies or different.
Mining with Dcoin is not the mining everyone is used to dealing with in context of other cryptocurrencies.
We will correct the mistakes.
Thank you for your remarks.
