Even in this posting you are lying about OmniMix, as it isn't
closed source software. It actually offers in a unique way the
most advanced kind of source code access, as with every version
there comes a one-click installer of the complete development
system, which then automatically creates the OmniMix binary from
its sources ready for a bitwise comparison with the executable
distributed as a part of the OmniMix system. And, addressing your
previous rant from a few hours ago, with such transparency offered
by OmniMix, please don't conceal from us where exactly it is
crashing and leaking information. We'd appreciate that advice as
a goodwill gesture. You have to know that we in this group are
highly interested in pushing things forward.
But stop posting your lies over here and act out your destructive
obsession somewhere else.
You're right about one thing: OmniMix apparently does offer source access through a quirky one-click self-recompiling installer. I missed that, and for the crime of calling it "closed source," I hereby sentence myself to a week of digital flagellation.
Mea culpa. Now that we've cleared that up, can we please move on from the drama?
That said, let's not pretend OmniMix is running on some benevolent operating system handcrafted by privacy monks. It runs on WinZOZ a platform built from the ground up to harvest user data, enforce DRM, and serve corporate masters. You can wrap it in all
the transparent wrappers you want, but it's still sitting on top of a surveillance monolith. As far as i'm concerned i don't use WinZOZ since XP, for the record.
You accuse me of "disinformation" and "egomania," but you're the one twisting legitimate criticism into personal offense. Is it that painful to see someone praise code outside your Microsoft-centric bubble? Privacy is not a brand war-at least not for me.
For you? I'm starting to wonder.
If you truly believe in pushing things forward, start by dropping the purity tests and the righteous outrage. I'm happy to correct mistakes, but don't mistake that for backing down from my principles: freedom of thought, decentralization, and a healthy
distrust of anything with a EULA longer than a dystopian novel.
So yes #FreeUkraine, #FreeTibet, #FreeGaza, and while you're at it, maybe also #FreeYourMind.
Cheers,
