Rewriting the GNU Coreutils in Rust

The entire purpose of the "tech industry" these days is to sell advertising (and/or access to "content") on locked-down appliances. "user empowerment" as embodied in the "Four Freedoms" is in direct conflict to this.

But your takeaway is that the GPLv3 is the problem, rather than the ones seeking to repress users? WTF?

Printers. I've said here in the past that I've been threatened with lawsuits by companies that were actively distributing (if not outright using) my code -- Code that I only wrote because they refused to support Linux users.

Meanwhile, the actual "need" that got me into this area to begin with was a brand-new printer with memory card slots that couldn't handle abitrary jpegs... and also violated the flow control portions of the USB printer class specification.

And yes, by any objective standard, I'm thriving. My personal printing needs are well met these days, and I've been able to leverage this work into a (very) modest consulting business that pays for more creative-outlet-type devices (most recent one was a laser engraver that runs GPLv3-licensed GRBL).
