[07:38] schestowitz https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=619979 [07:38] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-arstechnica.com | Richard M Stallman was supposed to speak in Vaasa, Finland - broke his arm at the airport - Ars Technica OpenForum [07:38] schestowitz "#Techrights #corruption #finland" [07:38] schestowitz " [07:38] schestowitz Today a seminar about free software was held in the city library here in Vaasa. RMS was the main speaker. Unfortunately he slipped on ice and broke his arm in several places, and had to be put in hospital. [07:38] schestowitz He went by ambulance to Helsinki to have surgery today, but not before he held his speech over telephone. During the speech they showed a picture of RMS laying in a hospital bed, with his left arm covered in plaster.

[07:42] schestowitz would require drilling into the video [07:44] schestowitz https://helda.helsinki.fi/dhanken/bitstream/handle/10138/136502/sivonen.pdf?sequence=4&isAllowed=y [07:49] schestowitz http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/2014-02-10--rms--helsinki dot webm is interesting, I've landed in about 30 timestamps so far but nothing about patents so far, so never mind... [07:49] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/2014-02-10--rms--helsinki ) [07:50] Techrights-sec Hanken is no more than a front for M$ activities in the north [07:50] Techrights-sec It's a nasty hive. ● Aug 27 [08:22] schestowitz-TR re gitea, I was about to install it where the other unused container was, but seeing the extensive number of dependencies I decided to not even start. I can only imagine how hard it would be to maintain when things break and kaniini told me something to that effect to, re some git front end [08:28] *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer) [08:29] schestowitz I did not know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espoo was second-largest population. The photographs (I saw all in the article) are a bit underwhelming to be honest... [08:29] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Espoo - Wikipedia [08:30] Techrights-sec It overflows from / into Helsink and is part of the same neighborhood. You can [08:30] Techrights-sec ride local buses and trains from one to the other. [08:31] schestowitz I noticed the proximity on the map. I guess it's like Manchester and Warrington [08:32] Techrights-sec Some parts are bicycle distance. [08:33] schestowitz-TR is the state of fi journalism still ok? I recall reading about .no journalism being in relatively good shape and netting evidence of corruption [08:39] schestowitz-TR ot: I've managed to lessen my email usage to an average of less than one outgoing message per day. Also, few of the incoming messages are of any importance. The important ones are encrypted. Debian buster still lacks the new thunderbird. Days ago it issued a new thunderbird build, but still v. 78-based. ● Aug 27 [09:29] Techrights-sec afaik, the OpenPGP support in Thunderbird is still broken even in [09:29] Techrights-sec the most recent versions [09:36] schestowitz-TR BTW, last night when I checked total number of posts I noticed one "missed schedule" post. It was august 13th IRC logs. I set that to published (better later than never). Are today's logs also due to be publisher later? ● Aug 27 [10:04] Techrights-sec Oops. IRC logs uploaded now. In other cases sometimes it does go [10:04] Techrights-sec into "missed schedule". I'm not sure how to find those automatically. [10:05] schestowitz-TR Thanks, I will try to remember to check these too. I used to check in the gym (that all links were working OK), but no gym any time soon, we have a superspreader PM ● Aug 27 [11:14] *psydroid_ (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [12:39] Techrights-sec The pandemic is growing here too though maybe not as much as other places. [12:40] schestowitz-TR in a few days 10% of our population will have been "confirmed" with #covid19 at one point. Set aside the many unknown and 'unconfirmed' ones. So it's getting more challenging to avoid it and we adapt (how/where to shop, layers in covering...) ● Aug 27 [14:17] Techrights-sec Some shop are better than others, both in the physical layout and in the [14:17] Techrights-sec behavior of the other customers. [14:18] schestowitz-TR Yes, exactly, so I tell rianne to choose accordingly. The smaller shops have a lot fewer different people at any time... and the staff is behind a plastic screen, which can help protect from droplets. I'd still do this even if I got 2 or 3 or 12 jabs. ● Aug 27 [15:38] schestowitz-TR However, of late, Facebook has been making its presence known and there are [15:38] schestowitz-TR more and more assholes not wearing masks and physically crowding others. [15:38] Techrights-sec However, of late, Facebook has been making its presence known and there are [15:38] Techrights-sec more and more assholes not wearing masks and physically crowding others. [15:38] schestowitz-TR for people who can work from home the damage can be limited until the next lockdown, likely well before winter this year [15:52] *blitzed has quit (Quit: +++ATH0&D2 NO CARRIER NO CAREER) [15:52] *blitzed (~blitzed@ar26wv7j5hvfq.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [16:01] *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed) [16:19] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [16:35] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [16:48] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [16:55] *wallacer has quit (Quit: wallace dozed off) [16:57] *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [16:58] *wallacer has quit (Quit: wallace dozed off) [16:59] *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [17:59] Techrights-sec Should I try renewing FSF membership any time soon? [17:59] Techrights-sec I don't see much advantage aside from supporting FSF financially. [17:59] schestowitz-TR rianne and I donated for moral support; it helps them if they're told RMS isn't a liability ● Aug 27 [18:00] Techrights-sec Ok. I'll see what I can do during what's left of the year. [18:01] schestowitz-TR you could, instead, help Microsoft pay the salaries of Brad, Karen, and "Sage" [18:20] *techrights_guest|3 (~56796296@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [18:21] *techrights_guest|3 has quit (Quit: Connection closed) [18:23] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:33] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@97999r7mmgnya.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [18:34] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [18:34] *psydroid_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Aug 27 [19:01] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [19:02] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@97999r7mmgnya.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:04] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [19:04] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@97999r7mmgnya.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:05] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [19:05] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@97999r7mmgnya.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:09] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:54] *psydroid_ (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [20:10] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@ke274tu5m4jma.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [21:08] *wallacer has quit (Quit: wallace dozed off) [21:40] *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [21:42] *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [21:43] *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [21:55] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [21:56] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@ke274tu5m4jma.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 27 [22:03] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:06] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [22:06] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [22:06] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@srhmhmyggkevk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [22:12] *psydroid_ has quit (connection closed) [22:19] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:41] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@ke274tu5m4jma.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
