@Shrigglepuss @trickster @bclindner The age of consent things mentioned in that article seems to be old, and he says he's changed his mind now: https://stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_September_2019_%28Sex_between_an_adult_and_a_child_is_wrong%29

Not saying that makes everything ok. How could it take so long? Still, it's good to know he seems to have come to his senses, in that regard at least. The "entirly willing" thing still seems terrible, though.

@Shrigglepuss @trickster @bclindner

What has he done now? Last I heard from him he had finally changed his mind on the worst oppinion I know that he's had.

"Without a truly open standard for payments, open systems in general have had a hard time competing with their proprietary counterparts."

Coil, Mozilla, Creative Commons have set up a $100 million grant to fix this. Very interesting!

@hinterwaeldler Ah, so that's what happened. I'll see if I can find it elsewhere :)

@hinterwaeldler There's only been one "coming soon" episode and nothing more :(

@lychee Agree @elementary is nice. It's not "there" for me to use, but they are doing amazing work and I should probably throw them some coins

It's incredibly important to me that we make Linux a viable and attractive option for regular, non-nerdy people. And that FOSS devs gets paid for their work so they can spend more of their time making that happen, and less of their time working on making proprietary software better.

So I want to spend some money on Linux and I wonder: Is Zorin OS a good place to do it? https://zorinos.com/

Seems like it, but I wonder: How much do they actually contribute upstream? Any better suggestions?

@benjancewicz That's fantastic! We need more humor in the public square :)

@clacke Fear the Flash!

Also: Nice!

Wait. Flash still exists?

@drazraeltod @teecee AGPL, not LGPL :)

In a world of servers the only Free software is AGPL software

Been out dumpsterdiving. Found 18-19 kg of food

Have you heard of the horrors of the cobolt mining and war profiteering in Congo? Last years Nobel peace prize was awarded to 2 people helping the victims of these atrocities.

Why is this happening? Because of our insatbiable thirst for electronics!

What can you do? Use your stuff longer, don't buy unnecessary stuff, buy used, and if you need a new phone: Buy a @Fairphone!
