schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>It all starts with a SIM card. So far, I used the device without one, which meant Wireless connectivity and such, but no proper "phone" usage, and thus, also, no registration of chat programs like Telegram or WhatsApp. Now, regardless of how you feel about these tools, they are an almost inevitable part of the online smartphone experience, and I bet all your non-techie relatives use one orAug 08 14:06
schestowitz[TR2] the other. Sure, if one day the world becomes so odious that your only choices will be to constantly QR code and verify yourself to your overlords or try to use something else, then yes, we can talk about happy, Utopian alternatives. For now, let me show what happens when you attempt to use /e/OS in the so-called normie mode. To an extent. Begin, we shall. </p>Aug 08 14:06

schestowitz[TR2]> you again for your continued coverage of the event on the site.Aug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> We're looking forward to a big turn-out, we just got approved forAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> publication on the campus wide calendar! So students/facultyAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> from all departments will see the announcement via an emailAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> newsletter, and signs on TVs across campus: Aug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> Aug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> I've got to begin an email campaign tomorrow to other universitiesAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> in the area; so if you know anyone interested or have heard anythingAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> from anyone wanting to attend - please let me know and I can getAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> in touch with them!Aug 08 20:22

schestowitz[TR2]>     If the wrong words are used, his haters will take advantage, call himAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]>     "hypocrite" etc.Aug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> Aug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> You're 100% right! We took extreme lengths to make everything mentionedAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> on the original poster was approved by RMS. He mainly wants some changesAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> to the color/font, and to shorten the text by a lot in exchange for a URLAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> to learn more. This one is for our advertising campaign on campus, soAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> it needs to be as eye-catching as possible. As of now, we think that linkAug 08 20:22
schestowitz[TR2]> for more info should be:Aug 08 20:22

schestowitz[TR2]" Hi Dr. Schestowitz and Mrs. Schestowitz,Aug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]I’m not sure there’s much else to say beyondAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]thank you - thank y'all for continuing to coverAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]our event and for supporting LibreTech!Aug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]We started this student organization about sixAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]months ago after noticing a serious issue formingAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]on our campus (and across many universities inAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]the United States). The corporatized “open-source”Aug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]movement is increasingly overshadowing the freeAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]software movement. What we have always lovedAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]most about Richard Stallman’s work is that it appliesAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]to everyone and centers on freedom and respect - notAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]profit. We’re not simply an “open source” club; weAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]are a LibreTech Collective.Aug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]Our goal is to foster a community of people who areAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]genuinely passionate about this field, not those lookingAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]to extract value from it. That’s why we banned Aug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]source-available–only licenses before even acceptingAug 08 20:26
schestowitz[TR2]our first project. Y'all's continued coverage has helpedAug 08 20:26

schestowitz[TR2]I cannot imagine receiving death threats overAug 08 20:36
