Those two nonfree programs have something else in common: they are both malware. That is, both have functionalities designed to mistreat the user.

If you use a program to carry out activities in your life, your freedom depends on your having control over the program.

Nonfree software was the first way for companies to take control of people's computing. Nowadays, there is another way, called Service as a Software Substitute, or SaaSS. That means letting someone else's server do your own computing tasks.

In some cases, nonfree software causes indirect harm (secondary injustice): it puts pressure directly on others to use this software (Teams, Skype, Zoom, ...), it encourages to develop the non-free software further. All the forms of indirect harm are magnified when the user is a public entity or a school.

Public agencies exist for the people, not for themselves. When they do computing, they do it for the people. They have a duty to maintain full control over that computing so that they can assure it is done properly for the people.

Key points:

• YouTube does not only target ad-blockers but extensions or settings in general
• It is hard to organize adblockers because of the noise and confusion generated by YouTube's strategy

The post goes in-depth into these assumptions.

The uBO team members are all volunteers. They’ve gone above and beyond to meet every little request from their users. But there’s a limit to how much they can take.

A website that embraces Brutalist Web Design is raw in its focus on content, and prioritization of the website visitor.

A website is about giving visitors content to enjoy and ways to interact with you.

Guidelines:

• Content is readable on all reasonable screens and devices.
• Only hyperlinks and buttons respond to clicks.
• Hyperlinks are underlined and buttons look like buttons.
• The back button works as expected.
• View content by scrolling.
• Decoration when needed and no unrelated content.
• Performance is a feature.

The only limitation of brutalist web design is that it is designed for content and not interactions. So this design method does not fit dashboards of real-time data for example. Am I missing something here?

I appreciate the guidelines that can be reused on every usable and accessible website or applications.

A quickstart tip:

Start with left-aligned black text on a white background, and to apply styling only to solve a specific problem

and more tips:

• Understand the semantic meaning of HTML elements.
• Learn about typography.
• Try designing for a small screen by default.
• Learn from designers about their choices and why they made them.
• When in doubt, do what Tron does: fight for the users.

Will it be worth it for you? If you need to iterate rapidly, probably not. If you have a known scope, or can absorb more upfront cost? Definitely consider it. You’ll end up with bulletproof software. With the WebAssembly angle becoming stronger every month, the prospect of writing perfect software once and reusing it everywhere is becoming a reality sooner rather than later.

As I am using Typescript on a daily basis, it helped to have such a comparison 😃
