Techrights-secexists, so there might be a broken link pointing to the first one somewhereNov 20 09:08
Techrights-secOne problem is that the wiki is interpreting the literal blockquote andNov 20 09:08

schestowitz-TRyesterday I added two new pages to the wiki, hence I noticed this. Maybe when I have spare time I should tidy up existing stuff rather than write new? Always a trade-off, but surely the wiki could be improved a great dealNov 20 09:09
Techrights-secthere is a lot of benefit from periodic tidying.  If possible, can we Nov 20 09:11
Techrights-secrename pages with paths containing ; " ' and & in them?  It would Nov 20 09:11
Techrights-secnot only simplify things, it would (IMO) add another layer of safety toNov 20 09:11
Techrights-secthe scripts, especially anything shell script related.Nov 20 09:11
schestowitz-TRaliasing pages in the wiki would prevent bad links, but I sort of forgot how to do it, I just know it can be done. Nov 20 09:12
schestowitz-TRBTW, letting people have read-only direct access to git would be problematic if hiding your initials is requiredNov 20 09:13
schestowitz-TRI've just studied the latest 3 commitsNov 20 09:13
Techrights-secackNov 20 09:16
Techrights-secYes, they are there in the commits.  I figure we should make another repository for the public, read-only edition. Nov 20 09:16
Techrights-sec"plan to throw one away" so to speak Nov 20 09:16
Techrights-secthis one has been for practice and there are still a few important tasksNov 20 09:16
Techrights-secto master before publishing, I would say.Nov 20 09:16
schestowitz-TROTOH, this can encourage people to get a gemini clientNov 20 09:16
schestowitz-TRI took two days OFF next week, rianne took the weekend off (she usually works weekends only), now working towards naturalisationNov 20 09:17
Techrights-secExcellent.  Nov 20 09:20
Techrights-secIs there a projected timeline for naturalization?Nov 20 09:21
Techrights-secAs for promoting Gemini  clients, that would mainly happen via good packagingNov 20 09:21
Techrights-secin a few key distros.  Debian is still upstream from the most popular ones.Nov 20 09:21
schestowitz-TRrianne will be meeting a lawyer from a .org next week, I think the prospects are good, but I won't be joining as covid-19 is a risk and maybe soon even meetings won't be possible at alNov 20 09:22
Techrights-secYes, that (and the other pandemics) get worse rather than better.  The vaccinesNov 20 09:27
Techrights-secdo little to prevent contagion.  They reduce the load on the ICUs but not Nov 20 09:27
Techrights-secmuch more and they need refreshing every six months at 25 Euro pe    Nov 20 09:27
schestowitz-TRmoreNov 20 09:28
schestowitz-TRI know the pricesNov 20 09:28
schestowitz-TRit''s a bloody racket Nov 20 09:28
schestowitz-TRI try to mention it along the way in almost every video about patentsNov 20 09:28
Techrights-sec      Nov 20 09:28
Techrights-secFact-checking has become more and more ideological and less and less relatedNov 20 09:28
Techrights-secto the statement of empirical facts.  The doses have a cost.  Yet discussionNov 20 09:28
Techrights-secgets quieted or shut down completely. Nov 20 09:28
Techrights-secback in a few hoursNov 20 09:28
schestowitz-TRI still want to know the total production cost; remember that legal liability isn't a component as they waive that awayNov 20 09:29
