Lacrimosa dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen.

I don’t wish to start this brief entry with a headline as the new floss alternative that wants to kill x proprietary service, because it’s already a topic quite used and, in my opinion, it does not contribute anything new to the debate.

For me, if there would be a free software alternative to do anything, this must be understood as a different way of seeing…

Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. ‘Don’t bother us with politics’, respond those who don’t want to learn.

Do you have the freedom to censor? [1] I think I have spoken before about my strong defense of freedom of speech. According to my point of view; freedom of speech is an inherent faculty for the development of a full and civilized democratic life; where we can not think the same; but we can try to make the attempt to carry out a dialogue, in order to reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial to be able to promote…

This minimizes the personalization capacity and the sphere of decision which the final consumer could…
