schestowitz> What do you think?Feb 08 06:45
schestowitzIt's really outside my area of knowledge, so we both need to ask people in that domain.Feb 08 06:45
schestowitzThe debate has been polluted by a lot of nonsense, so it's hard to separate fiction from fact. And it's likely that it's all just nonsense, says gut feeling.Feb 08 06:45
schestowitz> I'm thinking about ways to use eurofsf.orgFeb 08 06:50

schestowitz> One option is to delegate by country, e.g. gb.eurofsf.orgFeb 08 06:50

schestowitz> Could you be interested in something like that?  Could you assemble aFeb 08 06:50

schestowitzI think creating more "fsf" something would be counterproductive if not abrasive towards Boston's.Feb 08 06:50
schestowitzAt the moment I am trying to think what domain to register/use for the gemini version of techrights, which is up and running but in need of a permanent domain/name.Feb 08 06:51
schestowitzIt's running from my raspi at home, so changing ip for that domain should be fast and simple. Suggestions?Feb 08 06:51

schestowitzmy edit below:Feb 08 08:45
schestowitzNO Software Patents in Europe via the Unified Patent Court!Feb 08 08:46
schestowitzWe are protesting against software patents in Europe.Feb 08 08:46
schestowitzSoftware patents are an insult to our profession, steal our jobs, and are promoting extortion-centric practices like patent trolling.Feb 08 08:46
schestowitzAfter Brexit, we are asking our politicians to renegotiate the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and put back the European Court of Justice (CJEU) in control, such that it is again having a say on patent law, and software patents in particular (ex art6-8, veto from the UK and Mr Cameron, pushed by the British patent industry and GSK, a large vaccine manufacturer).Feb 08 08:46
schestowitzWe oppose Germany's move to try to push the UPC treaty into force ('fait accompli') while London is still in the text.Feb 08 08:46
schestowitzThe UPC would raise the court fees for a simple dispute from 600EUR (average of court fees in most EU countries) to 12.000EUR (20.000EUR - 40% rebate for small companies), while the current national systems are already too expensive because of unusually expensive lawyer fees.Feb 08 08:46

schestowitz                <p>We’re guessing that we have something in common with a substantial number of our readers in that this post is being written on an open-source operating system. A well-known GNU/Linux distribution provides everything you might expect from a PC, but of course it’s not the only open-source game in town. A year-old piece from [Unixsheikh] caught the eye with the title “Why you should migrate everything from Feb 08 09:09
schestowitzLinux to BSD“, and being naturally curious, it was worth a read. It’s interesting enough to talk about here not because of its BSD advocacy, but because of its examination of some of GNU/Linux’s shortcomings. Using and appreciating an operating system shouldn’t mean slavish fandom, it’s worth every Linux user taking a moment to consider its points.</p></blockquote></li>Feb 08 09:09
