About how a mathematician put out a fire:
He wakes up one night, and there is a fire all around, everything is burning.
The mathematician looked at the wall, saw a fire extinguisher, said:
"Problem solved!". And fell asleep.
Computer science is definitely mathematics related. And people associated with it acquire "mathematical" thinking. Undoubtedly, the golden age of freedom of the Internet is coming to an end. On the Internet and, in particular, on Habré is a discussion. And what I notice is that discussion often comes down to the remark “We have a program / protocol X”. And that's how all problems are solved. But there is no gentlemen - the program itself does not solve anything. Solves the user community. And if a narrow circle of marginals uses something, they are always easy to defame and ban.
If we still want to remain free, it is necessary to bring our magic programs / protocols to the end users. That they were used not by marginals and geeks, but ordinary users. And it was convenient!
It is necessary to work out a strategy in order to leave not with the zoo of programs, but with a ready-made set of solutions. It is ideal to organize your public association / party and act already on this basis.
I suggest in the comments below to expand the discussion of what can be done ...

P / S I did not want to write this topic, I thought someone else (more authoritative and competent) would write something like that. But he did not wait, but his nerves could not stand it. I love the Internet for freedom, and I am familiar with the school firewall. They even banned Wikipedia and Google translator! I do not want the whole Internet to become so!
P / SS Sorry, but the discussion was fixated on being a teacher. Let's see me now as a spherical citizen in a vacuum!
In the morningProbably worth summing up the preliminary results of the discussion.
Conclusion 1. Described in the wiki textbook -
"Do not trust .
"Before using the collective mind, you must strain your own. Attach your decision, and based on it build everything, and the porridge from the ax turns out delicious only in a fairy tale ...
Conclusion 2. The calls to unite sound with a wondrous periodicity, but all go to the sand. For example, the
proposals Semisonic, are quite close to me in spirit.
Conclusion 3. Let's still try to unite? For the time being, I just start looking at the gmy and leave it in my profile. Whoever is interested and who is ready to work gets added to Circles. For my part, I undertake to undertake the primary organization of the process.
I believe that any road begins with the first step. While all ... I hope that to be continued.
