Forgive me Stallman for I have sinned. I used a GNU/Linux distribution with a non-free repository. I enabled the non-free repository, and worse, I installed the unholy abomination that is Nvidia proprietary drivers. I am ashamed of myself, for I have spit in the face of the holiest of our documents, the GNU Public License.

@jordyd what if the GPL likes that freaky shit

@jordyd nvidia has "open source" drivers now which is useful when they fucking break and i have to patch them by hand but i heard they just dumped everything into the firmware instead so they're still unusable without accepting the blob into your heart

@jordyd personally i think a completely free software stack is important but it's only one component of the entire framework and infra that achieves software freedom. interop with proprietary and permissively licensed code is imo absolutely necessary as it provides a bridge to a free system and ensures free software maintains equal or better functionality to nonfree systems

@jordyd otherwise we risk stagnation. obviously there's a point at which interoperability work begins to support proprietary code, and it's always a dynamic tradeoff. but the fascination with the fully free stack which stallman epitomizes demonstrates i think one of the enduring fallacies of the free software movement which actively detaches it from empowering users and works directly against solidarity with users who are coerced into proprietary environments

@hipsterelectron Stallman can get away with having such strict principles because he barely uses a computer. But everyone else has to face the reality of dealing with hardware that just does not yet have good FOSS drivers, compatibility with commonly-used proprietary formats, and sometimes just FOSS software not having feature parity with proprietary equivalents

@jordyd @hipsterelectron OTOH, there are other, much better, people than Stallman that manage to be almost as strict, while using computers and living in the modern world.
And yes, they do accept that there is a need for compromises, especially on things that aren't under one's control.
And they deal with them in a sane way, e.g. by just using the damn bank website rather than asking somebody else to do it so that they can remain pure.
But also at times by making choices to use something (software, hardware) that is maybe just acceptable rather than the best for the job, *when they can afford to do so*

Il governo afferma che approfondirà i punti contestati. Se vuole portare avanti l’opera, deve dimostrare che esistono le condizioni per derogare alla tutela ambientale, modificare contratti senza nuova gara, escludere autorità competenti e spendere miliardi con motivazioni trasparenti. Al momento, provarlo appare difficile.
-
Le critiche di Meloni e Salvini presentano la decisione come un’ingerenza politica. Le motivazioni dimostrano invece che il problema è giuridico: il progetto, così come approvato, non supera il test di legalità imposto dalle norme UE e italiane.
-
La questione dei documenti inviati tramite link non è stata determinante. La Corte ha giudicato la procedura poco trasparente, ma non è questo il motivo del rifiuto del visto, contrariamente a quanto sostenuto da alcuni esponenti politici.
-
Infine, la Corte rileva lacune nell’istruttoria: sono stati esclusi soggetti che dovevano esprimersi su sostenibilità economica e pedaggi, come ART e NARS. Inoltre, un parere tecnico obbligatorio del Consiglio superiore dei lavori pubblici non è stato richiesto.
-
Sul fronte degli appalti, la Corte contesta che il contratto del 2006 sia stato modificato senza nuova gara. All’epoca l’opera sarebbe stata finanziata in gran parte con capitali privati, oggi invece è interamente a carico dello Stato. Per le regole UE questa è una modifica sostanziale che avrebbe potuto attirare altri concorrenti.

Bruxelles aveva chiesto chiarimenti nel 2025. La risposta italiana non ha fornito elementi nuovi, limitandosi a riproporre documenti già noti. Per la Corte, così la procedura risulta illegittima.
