Agorism
- Social philosophy advocating creating a society with voluntary
exchanges and relations between people via aspects of
counter-economics and nonviolent revolution.
Do-ocracy
- An organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and
tasks for themselves and execute them wherein responsibilities attach
to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Do-ocracy
FOEPATCHISM
- Fair, Open, Ethical, Peaceful, Accountable, Transparent, Consistent,
Honest, Inclusive Social Management - for collaborators, communities,
families, governments, groups, homes, organizations, social media,
societies, teams, workplaces, etc. "Foe" = enemy; "patch" = correction. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/FOEPATCHISM
Libertas = autonomy, freedom, sovereignty.
Phylaxis
- (medical) The protection against infection.
- (defensive) Guarding against cultural destruction, cyber warfare,
ideological subversion, malicious infiltration, medical tyranny,
political corruption, psychological operations, wealth theft, and
weaponized migration.
Voluntaryism
- Peaceful life without rulers, yet with social rules.
- The common sense idea that all forms of human association should be voluntary...
with the assertion that any act of violence [or coercion] other than self defense,
whether by an individual or organization, is illegitimate and unlawful. - Voluntary interactions - without rulers rather than supporting and suffering
under mafia governments and corporatocracy's monopoly on violence.
This includes what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own wallets,
bedrooms, bodies, businesses, and communities. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Meaningful_liberty#Voluntaryism








Free Open Source rewrite of Windows and WINE. Just released end of August.
What's the point of copying Windows?
Is it free of spyware and malware?
It is based on WINE so it is prone to malware same as WINE.
It's not based on WINE. WINE runs on Linux. ReactOS is an alternative solution. Instead of writing a compatability layer for Microsoft programs on Linux, just rewrite Windows so it's open source.
The problem is the person who took that on hasn't really been successful. But they keep publishing the non-working project, for 28 years.
A lot of Microsoft Windows APIs aren't documented, which causes the problem of rewriting Windows.
So they're reinventing the Window - for why?
Seems like an exercise in defenestration.
ReactOS uses Windows Drivers; it is an alternative to Windows that isn't 100% compatible. It is based on Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server.
Microsoft recently tried to update Outlook and asked me to agree to sharing my data with over 900 partners.
Why are you even using Outlook?
Only work, really. But my point stands. Microsoft is our enemy when it comes to data privacy. I understand why people would seek alternatives, even if it's a 30 year failed project.
What’s the polite way to encourage someone here to test it on virtual box. I’ve done it too many times myself… years ago. I’m burned out on testing it.
ReactOS is known as a meme for the longest persisting project that doesn’t work. Maybe it works now.
I might test it on VirtualBox, VMWARE got bought out, and now it is shitty.
I'm surprised reactos is still around. I've never seen it work more than 30 seconds past booting unless I didn't open anything.
ReactOS 0.4.16: it's updated from ReactOS 0.4.15.
