schestowitzThe problem is, many people started linking to the Flash-only (for most) page, which in turn led me to redenting their dents, leaving out in the cold some of the FSF's most ardent supporters (YouTube is still libre software-hostile unless you use particular devices and browsers).Feb 22 00:36

schestowitzWhere the three "" are to be filled with the URL of the Ogg. That would help many... I can host it in techrights if you lack hosting space, or maybe ask the FSF... they recently hosted some large Ogg file.Feb 22 00:58

schestowitz> Or can you tell me a site which hosts WebM without needing any Flash orFeb 22 01:30
schestowitz> Javascript? I will upload there and will do so with future videos as well.Feb 22 01:30
schestowitzI don't know of any such site. What I do is, I publish as ogg, then I also make a WebM available in YouTube. I explained this to Stallman last time I interviewed him. The key is, make an Ogg available somewhere; some people will link to it or stream off of it. Right now linking to YouTube is all one can do and since it's already 'out there', the network effect for this video helps spread Flash, and that's counter-productive in some Feb 22 01:31

schestowitzDon't waste another decade skirting freedom, Steve. Freedom is the key point. Mr. Stallman and his community has had 30 years of refining his message to the most direct form possible. If it's not getting through, either you are not being direct enough or your audience simply does not want to get it for one reason or another. If that frustrates you, do what an IBM migration manual recommends and find people who want to listen.Feb 22 01:47
