2020 Talk by Zoë Kooyman (Now the FSF’s Executive Director) and Greg Farough (Campaigns Manager)

Posted in Free/Libre Software, FSF, Videos at 10:14 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Many people are totally unfamiliar with Zoë Kooyman and Greg Farough; with Kooyman having just become the public face of the FSF, converting the above video from MP4 to WebM was likely worthwhile as they cover a lot of ground in an excellent one-hour talk

EPO Bought 'Elections' and What That Means to Staff (When Bribery is the 'New Normal')

Obscene corruption in Europe’s second-largest institution is receiving the blind eye from national representatives, who are themselves an active part of this corruption; the EPO’s reappointed dictator is already attacking union representatives, just like Battistelli did; “You are not important for this Organization. Move on,” he said to Brumme

The 20% Gap: Android (Linux-Powered) Exceeds 46%, Windows Down to 26%

The corporate media isn't mentioning this (nor does it mention Windows holes as often as it mentions "Linux" in relation to minor bugs or misattributed holes), but Windows share relative to other operating systems is rapidly decreasing

[Meme] EPO.org as a Portal of Lies (and Lobbyists)

Global Dynamics of the Demise of Microsoft Windows (Now Down to 27%)

The situation of Windows' "share" (however subjective any measure would be) is grim; despite a "new" release of Windows, as recently as several months ago, "market share" decreases fast

The World Wide Web is Not Growing, Gemini Does

The Web, which is over 30 years old, peaked quite a few years ago; it's increasingly just a conduit of traffic unrelated to actual pages (articles, blogs) and just a vehicle for "apps", which are in turn centralised or closely guarded by few companies and very few governments (public communication is not their goal, manipulation and social control are the principal objectives)
