2·11 months agobring an old device back to life with Open Source software
it’s in the list
I think “try a Linux live distro” was on the original list somewhere, I’ll check.
The list is not ordered right now, so it’s all mixed up. The idea of repeating items like “for a week, a month, etc” is nice. It’s relatively easy for the user, gives them that goal to achieve, and it’s an easy way to fill more of the boxes. :)
Maybe move the apps into a work profile meanwhile.
What do you mean by that?

51·11 months agoI forgot one: “brush Richard Stallman’s beard”. That probably goes in the “advanced” area. ;-)

I think I’ve written down a few like “find the license in the menu of your TV” or “find out which Open Source software your TV uses”, something like that. The idea was to have the user find out that many devices use Open Source, and to give a sense of what open software is used in commercial products,
I agree with your sentiment on the “free” part. It can be confusing to spot the difference between free, libre, Open Source, and FOSS. I’m not sure how to make this easy and interesting for the user. Maybe a single item “Know the definition of FOSS/FLOSS” would lead the user into a small rabbit hole that explains the whole thing.
Once the user knows the difference, they might go look through their [device/app]'s license again to get a perspective and find any violations.
Good point.
I’ll take a look, thanks.
