r_schestowitzI was able to open all the documents and read them. The animated things, or training sessions, get stuck. I tried each one of them about 5 times (>each<) and they get stuck somewhere along the way. I tried this on multiple machines. Rianne told she too had some difficulties.Nov 12 05:19
r_schestowitzI will try again on my next shift, but these technical issues do merit a mention. They also rely on plugins Adobe no longer supports, posing security risk (an issue aside from the bugs).Nov 12 05:19

r_schestowitz>> Hi. Saw your post on twitter posting and blogging. You are prolific with Tweeting, and I can understand why you want to focus more on longer pieces.  Nov 12 08:03

r_schestowitz>> Does this change have anything to do with the Startpage situation by chance, or was the timing just coincidence? When I click on the "search" category of posts, it leads to a blank section now.Nov 12 08:03
r_schestowitzMust have been a coincidence as I don't understand what's implied; what page is a blank section? Not this one, I suppose: http://techrights.org/category/search/Nov 12 08:03

r_schestowitz> It's about Macron's latest nomination for EU Commissioner, Thierry Breton.Nov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> Nov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> This is a subject with a lot of mileage and the material which we haveNov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> gathered has been spread out over a total of 18 parts.Nov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> The attached teaser and the first 14 parts are good to go.Nov 12 16:39

r_schestowitz> the EPO.Nov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> Nov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> We realise that this is a "political" rather than a "technical" subjectNov 12 16:39
r_schestowitz> but it might be of interest to TechRights readers judging by BenjaminNov 12 16:39

r_schestowitz> Breton although they have probably heard something about Atos where heNov 12 16:40

r_schestowitz> to get started.Nov 12 16:50
r_schestowitz> Nov 12 16:50
r_schestowitz> RegardsNov 12 16:50
r_schestowitzDays ago, maybe this past weekend, we wrote to explain why separating these technical EPO affairs from politics is not possible. Stallman was quoted as well.Nov 12 16:50
r_schestowitzBased on the teaser, this is not more political than things we published in the past. We''ll be more than happy to publish this, irrespective of the tone. Is the teaser publishable today?Nov 12 16:50
r_schestowitzNew seriesNov 12 17:08
r_schestowitz> The teaser can go out whenever you like.Nov 12 17:08

r_schestowitz> Feel free to make any editorial amendments or changes to the layout at your discretion.Nov 12 17:09
