Lots of practical tools for computational reproducibility, including the unequaled #Guix :-), all this brought to you by experts in the field, starting with @khinsen.

Scholar SocialKonrad Hinsen (@khinsen@scholar.social)The second session of the MOOC "Reproducible Research II: Practices and tools for managing computations and data" will be open from 5 May to 10 September 2025. Sign up now: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/reproducible-research-ii-practices-and-tools-for-managing-comput/ It covers advanced topics in reproducible computation: massive data, complex calculations, management of computational environments. 1/2

More exactly #fedora #silverblue, I think.

This is maybe because they claim that during transactional updates "as the final image is composed iteratively with every update on each machine individually, no guartantees to avoid configuration drift and to achive reproducibility between different computers" ?

Never heard of anything similar that with #guix, as reproducibility is one of its main goals.

I was installing a program to my android device and realized how much I appreciate the way Guix packages software. It contains only bootstrapable Freedom and Privacy respecting programs and libraries.

It's like a Quality mark: If the package in the repo I'm pretty sure that it's built from source code, it has no blobs, no telemetry and no backdoors. There is no man-in-the-middle in my supply chain.

Indeed if you were leading #Guix, I'd likely be a user and contributor (I think you know I have the technical skills required).

And I also know other people working there, people I respect despite not being always aligned with their opinion (for example I had a long debate with a friend that work on Guix a few months ago about the right to be mentioned with the preferred name by a transitioned trans developer whose code was archived with their dead-name and #SoftwareHeritage was refusing to update. I think hackers have the right to be named as they wish in their works and no script, tool or hash chain matter more than this right).

Yet there's a huge difference between a technical or even philosophical argument and a (politically motivated) personal attack in form of a shitstorm.

Courtès might even be the best #scheme hacker out there, with a solid architectural vision of how to make #linux more reliable.

But I chose free software for political goals that he actively damaged with that attack to RMS.

The #Guix leaders are indeed the reason I don't even give it a try despite some great people like you working on it.

I will reconsider when I'll read a public apology for this personal attack to a neurodivergent #hacker such as #RMS.

It worth to remember how that "joint stab in the back" was published while RMS was under attack because he dared defend Minsky's memory from the same sort of mob justice that was then redirected (and amplified on #BigTech social media) against RMS himself.

Some of those "leaders" who signed that "joint statement" a couple years later signed an even worse attack built on top of lies.

These sort of personal attacks have clear political goals, "incidentally" aligned with BigTech interests.

Now @zimoun@sciences.re could try to sort me among #Stallman fanboys to reinforce his beliefs, but in fact I'm pretty critical of RMS work: ultimately I think he based free software on a cold-war biased ideology, without a proper balance between communion (aka sharing strongly protected commons) and freedom. This huge error left space to #opensource and to the current use of #FreeSoftware by all sort of large corporations to abuse and subdue people.
Another (related) issue has been the total lack of a cohesive architectural design for #GNU system: RMS was too (inconsciously) fond of free market ideology to lead the movement's technically, and this lack of cohordination was turned by #ESR to the "bazaar" (not so subtle) sublimation of free market, to ease corporate exploitation of the high skilled labour of #hackers.

But in fact, with all of his political errors, he's still the most coherent and commited free software activist out there.

So I will consider Guix again when they will publish a joint apology with the same visibility the back-stab had in 2019.
