| schestowitz | the internet, free software and freedom of speech are closely related. increasingly, the surveillance industrial complex and destroying free speech (online, and in homes with phones) are related. stallman was right. non-free software will lead us to non free-speech. but very few people point out that it works both ways-- failing to protect free speech (or lets broaden that to include honest and open discourse, because they will say thats | Oct 28 02:34 |
| schestowitz | not a freedom per se but it is a necessity-- in science, for example, regardless of rights) has gutted free software badly. if you cant say whats true, thats a bit like what the church did to galileo. the constitution is important, but this particular problem exists with or without it and still costs us all. | Oct 28 02:34 |

| schestowitz | @schestowitz There are 2 version of QQ, the #China chat platform: International and domestic. The domestic version is smartphone only, Chinese only, regularly updated, and works well. The internat'l version is multilingual, available for Win PC or Android, has not been updated since 2014, has many broken features, and is missing features from the domestic QQ. I use both. | Oct 28 17:46 |
